Conman

Only a fool wishes for
The one thing he can't have
I guess the truth is easy to ignore
When you're talking loud and talking fast
Conman, you're gonna get yours in the end
Conman, you'll get yours in the end
Fool's gold paves your higher path
Trampled and worn out like your welcome
Desperate in the aftermath
'Cause the mess you made cant be undone
Conman, you're gonna get yours in the end
Conman, you'll get yours in the end
You're weak and hollow
Before long no one will follow you
And sooner or later the devil's gonna come to collect his due
Conman, you're gonna get yours in the end
Conman, you'll get yours in the end
Conman, you need a new scam
Conman, you've got nowhere left to stand

Firestorm

A fire roars in the east
Beneath a maroon sky
Smoke slithers across the road
Burning my bloodshot eyes
Wind driven destruction
Flames devour the earth
Claims the lives of our heroes
No mercy from the purge
Sirens scream from everywhere
Get out now and be spared
Move fast the inferno swarms
Will we survive the firestorm
Ash descends like snow
Defines the rays of the sun
Mesmerized by the haunting glow
As the cancer fills my lungs
Here we stand on the precipice
The beginning of the end
Act of god played the arsonist
Once again we shall be cleansed
Sirens scream from everywhere
Get out now and be spared
Move fast the inferno swarms
Will we survive the firestorm
Days and days
Of this perilous blaze
Thru the haze
I see the fear on your face
A fire roars in the east
Beneath and orange sky
It's moving way too close
Will we make it out alive

Short-Order Salvation

All you robots get in line
Gather 'round this temple so divine
It's about time for you to lose your minds
The golden prize is waiting for you inside
How do you feel
Is it so surreal
To be asleep at the wheel
Such a sweet sensation
A hollow elation
That short-order salvation
Fiendish whimsy
Shameless frenzy
Fiendish whimsy
Shameless frenzy
All you junkies get inline
Now that you're high we're gonna bleed you dry
And you'll keep coming back time after time
Therein lies
Freewill's demise
Simply undone with opened eyes
But you've been dosed
And now you're comatose
You lost what matters most
Fiendish whimsy
Shameless frenzy
Fiendish whimsy
Shameless frenzy
Silly creatures they don't know
They are puppets in a twisted show
Puppet master pulls their strings
Makes them dance, makes them sing

Stray Hound

Mangy stray hound
Nose to the ground
What have you found
It's dragging you down
Got no safe place you can bury your bone
Each scar on your face tells a tale of it's own
Savage stray hound
No one wants around
Destined for the pound
They're gonna put you down
Can't have monsters roam the quiet countryside
Disturb the precious order and be euthanized
You're no good you are a low-life

Break Open My Head
07:34
|

Yesterday I fell from the sky
Scorched by the sun it fractured my mind's eye
Now I only see from behind these jagged shards
Searching for a way to get back to the start
This road is a savage one
The path to what's left undone
If I fall along the way
Press on leave me where I lay
Break open my head
Break it apart
Exposing all my scars
Wishing for the rain in vain to cool the desert sand
Quench my thirst and give life to this barren land
Desperation turns my voice to the gods
The scoundrel's last resort, of sorts, a little short on odds
Straight down into the unknown
Reaping that of which I've sewn
Burn to ashes and cinders
Emerge the phoenix unhindered
Break open my head
Break it apart
Exposing all my scars
