Truther
03:00
|

Greedy Little lines that hide what is. Over ambitious in your sins. Gotta get back to the power that always wins. Counter act all the pacts that bind. Freedom is the only Choice you find. Endless beauty you can never deny.
Chorus - Never far behind. Truther wins and you’re struck blind. Scales that fall from your very eyes and you are born. Now you’re born again!
The brightest light you’ve ever seen. Came to you in a waking dream. Now three days later you have been redeemed. The hurricane became a man. Drew a line in the dessert sand. Now everyday has become a promised land
2x Chorus -
Now you’re born a. Now you’re born again!

Snake Eyes

You got me caught like a stick in the mud. They’re dropping bombs but you know they’re all duds. The King’s allergic to his Toxic court. Mash the the button as he hit abort.
Pre Chorus - Fall on your knees. Loose your disease.
Chorus - Snake Eyes 4x
Chasing Shadows in the fading light. A gust of wind for your broken kite.
Not what you want it’s what you need. But you know it’s so hard to agree.
Pre chorus-
Chorus-
Solo-
Six sides moving to and fro. Landing deadly as your money goes.
Lucky seven has gone on break. A hail storm left in her wake.

Lightning
03:18

Gotta a bolt of lightning shooting down my back. Got a bolt of lightning and that’s a little know fact. Whatever you will. No more yaka-te-yak.
Got a bolt of lightning. Tickling my toes. Got a bolt of lightning. Like a nobody knows. Open up the books. Put on your wedding clothes.
Get down anyone!
Solo -
Bridge into Chorus-
Going into town. Gonna buy a vintage ring. Gonna get down on my knees and then I’m gonna sing about Lightning. Oh Baby Lightning. Sweet Lightning. Never brings me down.
Lord have mercy. I need a helping hand. I said Lord Have Mercy. I’m drowning in quicksand. I’ve been at sea for weeks and I’m looking for land.
Taking the Kingdom. By a violent force. Yeah I’m taking the Kingdom. By a violent force. Yeah I’m taking the Kingdom. By violent force. I’m dropping all my sails and I’m changing my course.
Get down two times !
Solo -
Bridge into Chorus -
3x La la la la la Lightning
Oh Sweet Lightning
Said Baby Lightning.
Never brings me down!

Arise
03:40
|

Everybody’s Waltzing out of Time. Circumvent your anger. Dance in three four time.
Take your cell phones and place them in a pile. Instant message God and he’ll refund your miles.
Take the place of honor at the feast. Keep in mind the Master.
The greatest is the least.
Or write the next verse of this song instead. Every word tastes like boiling lead.
Chorus into tag -
2x Arise. Come on baby rise.
No lies disguised. Come on baby rise.
2x You’re an Angel crying cause they’ve clipped her wings
Solo -
Chorus into Tag -
4x You’re an angel crying cause they’ve clipped her wings

Fine By Me
03:20
|
|||
Everybody’s talking about things they don’t know. Flapping their gums like they was huffing some coal.
Living in an empty time. Don’t recognize what I see. Nobody knows what tomorrow holds and that’s fine. That’s a Fine By Me.
Nobody ever watches what’s going down. Rolling up their windows for the stench that’s inbound.
Floating in the empty sky. Wondering what will be. Nobody knows what tomorrow holds and that’s fine. That’s a Fine By Me.
2x That’s fine ! By Me !
Blow your Horn!
Better close your eyes and plug your ears. Watch the video screen for a dose of fears.
Living in an empty time. Don’t recognize what I see. Nobody knows what tomorrow holds and that’s fine. That really fine. That’s
Really fine. That’s a Fine By Me.
2x That’s Fine ! By Me!

Loose Cannon
03:22
|

Got a Loose Cannon. Set a watch before my mouth. And a door of enclosure. This fire must be doused. You know I don’t feel good so I’m gonna fall down on my knees and pray. Got a Loose Cannon. That’s all I gots to say
You know I got to find a way girl.
There’s got to be a better way.
There’s got to be a better way girl. You know there is a better. I know there is a better way.
Fools abandon coming from my face. Guilty passion. I need a touch of grace. Folding up the chairs. Taking out the trash of my crime soaked brain
Fools abandon. Trying so hard to be sane.
Solo -

Tidal Wave. There’s no shame in a Tidal Wave.
Everything viewed is not what it seems one world order with satanic dreams.
Secret Society’s invisible hand looking for a humanist Godless land.
Tidal Wave. There’s no shame.
Tidal Wave. There’s no shame in a Tidal Wave.
Solo -
Break down -
Can’t just sit around while America hits ground. Try spread relief with tyrannical belief.
Don’t believe the screen. It’s kind of obscene. Think on your own. Pathetic clone. Clone. Clone. Clone.
Tidal Wave. There’s no shame
Tidal Wave. There’s no shame
Everything is perfect. Everything is clear. Disconnect your mind from your fears. Grind gears.
Everything is perfect. Everything is clear. Disconnect your mind from your fears. Grind gears
In a Tidal Wave

Keep all eyes on the Prize. The wash at the end of bye Bye. Is this all before we die.

Keep it all in your Heart. Got to Bury it from the start. Got to push on til we die. I know. Your gonna Bury it in your Heart. Bury it in your Heart.
