I broke out of prison when I was seventeen
Lookin’ hard at the world, I was feelin’ mean
Ridin’ hard down the road
For something that’s just out of reach
I can’t tell what’s up ahead
I guess that's part of the treat
I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away
I’m older now but lost as ever, still tryin' to find that life
Around the bend, I know it’s there, it’s just out of sight
I take one step forward, baby
Feels like it's two steps back
But when I get to where I’m going
I’m never ever gonna look back
I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away
Ride on...
Listen...git!
I take one step forward, baby
Feels like it's two steps back
But when I get to where I’m going
I’m never ever gonna look back
I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away
I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away
Never...I'll never fade away...

Never Surrender [demo]
03:52
|
|
||
Alarm clock is ringin’, I can’t get out of bed
Too many bad thoughts in my head
Finally pull myself up and slip into my jeans
This ain’t what I want or what I need
It’s another day, I can’t get along
Play my guitar, it’s a new song
On the road to nowhere and another dead end sign
Got to keep my hopes and dreams alive
Got to find the road to somewhere, don’t let it pass me by
Never surrender your mind
Thinkin’ hard about this song, but I can’t find the words
TV in the back’s gettin’ on my nerves
Trying to feel mother wit, but all I feel is numb
Ain’t it so much fun when you’re on a bum?
Can’t you see what I’m trying to do?
Ain’t no hit song, that jive’s for you
On the road to nowhere and another dead end sign
Got to keep my hopes and dreams alive
Got to find the road to somewhere, don’t let it pass me by
Never surrender your mind
Never surrender your mind

Sittin' in the back room, watchin' your skin crawl
Take another shot...one more, c'mon!
Sick as a dog down on your knees
I know what it's like, you don't have to tell me
Your body looks like a cushion of pins
Everything's grand when that needle goes in your...
Mainline...
Mainline...
Mainline...
That's your line
Skin still crawlin' in the back room
Floor is covered with needles and spoons
And you look like death on a bad day
If that's what you want then you got your way
Can't you see what you've done to yourself?
You put your life up on the back shelf
Mainline...
Mainline...
Mainline...
That's your line

Wolf's Blood [demo]
04:41
|
|
||
I hear stories about the nightlife
But not the ones that you know
Tales of terror and desperation
Somewhere out in the cold
Under the moon
When we hear the howls
What's going down?
Something knows what it's all about
And I gotta find out
Wolf's blood
Through the shadow it's coming for me
To create another undead soul
Feel the damp fur against my skin
Tooth and claw make me feel so cold
Under the moon
I'm a night scout
That's what it's about
I'll never die
Unless I go without
Wolf's blood
Wolf's blood...yeah!
The silver bullet's my only threat
Wolf's blood runs black, it runs deep
We give your life that will last forever
The price, of course, your veins to sever
Wolf's blood...!

Vampyre Love [demo]
03:47
|
|
||
Full moon on an endless night
I can feel the change
Clouds roar and lightning strikes
Time to break the chains
Can't believe what you see
Something tells you "Come to me"
My lips touch your breast
My teeth pierce your flesh
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Ruby tears, like rain
Flowing down your back
I hold you in my arms
Your vision fades to black
For everlasting love
Our souls have become
I've given you all of this
And sealed it with a kiss
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Vampyre love
Vampyre love

Too Late [demo]
04:25
|
|
||
Where in Hell are we going?
Cause Heaven just can't wait
There's a hole in the sky and there's dreams a-dyin'
And I wonder if it's too late, too late?
Can't eat, can't drink, can't breathe the air
Drowning in a pool of hate
Losing time, losing our minds
I wonder if it's too late, too late?
Thundering cloud of sixteen hooves
Trumpets fill the air...
One last bomb's gonna seal our fate
Yeah I think that it's too late, too late...yeah!

I spend my life dying hard
With no satisfaction in my heart
They push and they shove until I crack
What will they think when I can't turn back?
Ride on...into the sun
Die on...die on the run
Don't hand me your disputed lies
White lines are my father and son
Lay your hands upon my chest
My heart beats hard, like pistonheads
Don't know where I'm going, can't live where I've been
My blood's like oil with my body on ten
Ride on...into the sun
Die on...die on the run
Don't hand me your disputed lies
White lines are my father and son

Feeling of Dread [demo]
02:36
|
|
||
Lying alone, looking to the sky
My pulsating veins and my bulging eyes
I think about decisions that you've made
I can't take it no more and it's got to break
I want to know why you live in disgust
Only thinking of hate and corruption
Can't you leave these things behind?
And go from your world of hate and destruction, that's right!
Darkness shines around your thoughts; I believe your mind is dead
Things you think are so good, give me the feeling of dread
I walk alone, I'm on my own
You don't have a hand to hold
The door's been slammed and I've got the key
You can leave your world but you can never be free...oh no, no!

The Pusher/Iron Horse
05:31
|
|
||
He rides a road that don't have no end
An open highway, without any bends
Trapped on his stallion, alone in a dream
Proud in his colours as the chromium gleams
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he'd gladly die
Iron Horse is wife
Iron Horse is life
He lives his life, he's living it fast
Don't try to hide when the dice have been cast
He rides a whirlwind that cuts to the bone
Loaded forever, ferociously stoned
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he'd gladly die
Iron Horse is wife
Iron Horse is life
One day, one day...we'll go for the sun
Together they'll fly on the eternal run
Wasted forever on speed, bikes and booze
Yeah, us and the brothers, we were all born to lose
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he'd gladly die
Iron Horse is wife
Iron Horse is life
Iron Horse is wife
Iron Horse is life
Iron Horse is wife
Iron Horse is life

Ain't it Fun?
05:00
|
|

Ain't it fun when you're always on the run?
Ain't it fun when your friends despise what you've become?
Ain't it fun when you get so high that you...well, you just can't come?
Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young?
It's such fun!
Yeah fun...such fun...such fun!
Fun...such fun...such fun!
Fun...such fun...such...
Ain't it fun when you're taking care of number one?
Ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun?
Ain't it fun when you just can't seem...can't seem to find your tongue,
Cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung?
It's such fun!
They stood on my feelings, they spit right in my face
I didn't even feel it, it was such a disgrace
I punched my fist right through the glass
I didn't even feel it...well, it happened so fast
It's such fun...such fun...such fun!
Yeah, yeah fun...fun...fun!
Yeah, how's it feel? Such fun!
Ain't it fun when you tell her that she's just a cunt?
Ain't it fun when she splits and leaves you on a bum?
Ain't it fun when you've broken up every band that you've ever begun?
Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young?
It's such fun!
Such fun...such fun...such fun!
Yeah, fun...it's such fun...such fun...such fun...child
Yeah, fun...such fun...real fun...child
Yeah, fun...real fun...not fun!
Yeah, fun...

Son of Sam
05:09
|
|

Last night in the middle of a dream
Fiery red dog eyes double beamed
Gave me directions of my soul
Poured my life inside a bullet hole
I am Son of Sam!
Death breathing from my hand
I can't resist, I cannot fight
I've fallen victim to his bite
I have killed six, but I'll kill more
Sam commands my .44
I am Son of Sam!
Death breathing from my hand
I am Son of Sam!
I got death breathing from my hands
Take me and strap me to the electric chair
But you'll never kill me, I'll always be there
Look over your shoulder some dark, rainy night
A dull pain will hit you, a sharp canine bite
Son of Sam!
Son of Sam!
Son of Sam!
Son of Sam!
Son of Sam!
Son of Sam!
Son of Sam!
Son of Sam!
Son of Sam!
Sam!
Sam!
Sam!

Haywire [demo]
02:59
|
|
||
From San Diego to the Lone Star state
From Hollyweird to the Pearly Gates
A junkyard screaming, a lost soul’s single voice
The stakes were high, you made the gamble, took the choice
Sweating ether, my spinning mind is sweating cold
Sweet panhead, magic carpet, flying bold
The road beneath us is the rainbow’s pot of gold
Ticket to freedom, any price but my soul
Life is living...true living is free
Ain’t got no dollar signs tattooed on me
Solo shouting in my own Heaven’s choir
Ridin’ through in a world gone haywire
Achieving victory, losing hair and losing teeth
Food for thought when you’re lying around on Hell’s Beach
Busted knuckles, broken body, twisted face
Running forever, I ain’t losin’ my own race
Life is living...true living is free
Ain’t got no dollar signs tattooed on me
Solo shouting in my own Heaven’s choir
Ridin’ through in a world gone haywire
