1. Butcher Of Baghdad

2. Heaven On Earth

3. Fortunate Son

4. Blessings

Shine down a ray of hope to vigil over me.

Speaking words as they come,
My heart knows what to say

Listen I beg of you before time slips away

 Who's to say what's right or wrong
It's just something we must face
When ignorance fuels a firestorm
You'll be dealt someone to blame

Listen I beg of you before time slips away.

Free them and spare them all of my pain.
Take what you want from me
I'll die to set others free
But I know what your intentions are.
You'll be the death of hope
I'm locked inside. You clipped my wings.
I sit and count my blessings
[?] you watch me bleed
As I close my eyes in eternal sleep

To the ground they lower me

I pray someday you'll learn
That evil starts our immunities
And pleasure bears a curse

Listen I beg of you before I fade away.

Free them and spare them all of my pain.
Take what you want from me
I'll die to set others free
But I know what your intentions are.
You'll be the death of hope
I'm locked inside. You clipped my wings.
I sit and count my blessings
[?] you watch me bleed
As I close my eyes in eternal sleep

5. Promised Land

6. Play God

I hide what I feel inside.

 It's better locked away.
Many loud opinions, no [?]
Salt in wounds. Grovel with pain
As we plant it deeper into our headstrong ways
Seen for color, just for race.
It's a vicious cycle man must face

Oh, oh to be free again,

But no, we'd rather play God with violent death. Play God in our
twisted heads. Play God.

No plan at birth, for what its worth.

Truth, we're not to see.
A history that's handed down or hatred you can see
Games we play everyday they vary with the cruel. Shape the thought,
mold the crowd, manipulate the tool

Oh, oh to be free again,

But no, we'd rather play God with violent death. Play God in our
twisted heads
Play God, have a lot to be said. Play God instead

When you know you'll find a vicious fight we'll run the other way
But for everyone that sees the light there's ten to take his place. We'll
play God

7. Warp The Mind

8. What You're Looking For

Do you know what you're looking for?

Can't seem to get it right.
If you saw it plain as day you'd be blinded by the light
Can't you see what this does to me?
Suspicions start to grow.
Toying with my confidence
What does the future hold?
 Time won't wait this time.
Please make up your mind

Don't let the world pass you by, here's your morning wake up call.
One chance to see what sticks when we're thrown against the wall

Time won't wait this time.

Please make up your mind

Time for walking, light-speed talking, speaking not a word.

Are you afraid that chance you take might jeopardize your world?

How far can you get before you [?] the lies you've got?
You think you know what's going on, what is or is not [?]

Now our lives hang in the balance

Waiting for the word to go.
All our bags are packed and ready
But still the door is closed

Time won't wait this time.

Please make up your mind

9. Blackened Thrive

10. Death Of Me

11. Far Away

Silence is the only sound that I can hear

Trying to recall anything that was real
Numb through my veins,
[?] the coldness I embrace
Take me far away from yesterday
 Sift through my life that lies shattered on the ground
Cutting my fingers, pieces won't sort out
Turning away I can never look back
Help me understand the reason why

Still the air is quiet, all the questions hang unanswered

Sitting by your resting place I gaze into your eyes
Oh tell me why you've left me hear alone and by myself
Together on that night when Death called your name and finally took
you home.
