1. Here I am, here I stay
Lend me your ears and Iīll reveal all my fears
Eyes open wide, but, tell me, am I alive?
Cold stain glass faces watching me breathe patiently
Donīt close the coffin, donīt turn your back on me
Here I am, here I stay
Remember me
Memories come and memories go
Wet dreams of life gone rotten told me so
Do you have what it takes to face the day?
Empty your pockets of life and waste away
Here I am, here I stay
Remember me
Do you have what it takes to face the day?
Empty your pockets of life and waste away
Leave it all behind and close your eyes
Take my hand, together weīll wave good-bye
Smile your last smile for me
Cry your last cry for me
Do you have what it takes to make that mistake?
Swallow your pride before it gets too late
Here I am, here I stay
Remember me
2. Depression
Frustration is getting the best of me
Trying to die isnīt easy as it seems
I throw myself from the tip of my brain
Why is it so easy for Thursdays to get?
And to think of you always, so covers the nation
Now Iīll take the plunge with no hesitation
Because thereīs only so much that one man can give
I stand here empty-handed with no reason to live
Well, they say that every dog has its game
But the obituaries never print my name
So Iīm forced to decide my own extermination
Whatever the cause, I will learn my lesson
I feel this pain in the back of my stomach
But pain is so great, itīs hard for me not to love it
When hard social maggots starting to devour
Our game by our game, hour by hour
Put me out of my misery
If you call yourself a friend
Put me out of my misery
Put a bullet in my head
True friends donīt let true friends suffer
Punk, donīt let it to my brain
Every night I pray to mother
Come to me and ease the pain
Put me out of my misery
If you call yourself a friend
Put me out of my misery
Put a bullet in my head
3. Plexiglass Gate
Youīll sleep soon, try to dream
Donīt you worry about a thing
Heīll be home before you know
Donīt you worry, itīs only two years away
Till youīll see the only remains of your family
And as the moon douses upon my window
I wonder where youīve been crawling in
And then youīll see this is tearing me
Apart like the razor-blade, yeah
So here we are, face to face
Weīre on, ah, neither side of the plexiglass gate
And the look in your eye seems so dry
To see that I missed you for all this time
4. 3 Companions
There are so many things for today
But thereīs only one way to escape
Itīs these 3 companions of mine thatīll help me
Get through the times of nowhere and make it my way
A shiver runs through my body
I stand up and respond in grace
Slowly dim the lights again to feel the
Light gets brighter and brighter every day
Maybe thereīs a chance in the future
And maybe thereīs no chance at all
Like before, these companions of mine
Keep helping me get through my life
Likewise, Iīll do the same
5. Drowning
Iīm dying, Iīm trying
Iīm crying īcause I ainīt got nothing
So donīt bother trying to stop me
Iīm drowning in my own self-pity
So stop preaching ībout living for a brighter day
You know as well as I do praying never stopped the rain
Itīs still raining on me
Iīm drowning
Iīm drowning īcause I ainīt got nothing
So donīt bother trying to stop me
Iīm drowning in my own self-pity
So donīt bother wiping my tears away
īCause at the end of the rainbow it still rains
Itīs still raining on me
The hands on the clock keep pointing at me
The remote control has a mind of its own
Iīve forgotten how long it has been
This razor-blade feels closer than my own skin
Now, wonīt someone wipe these tears away?
It donīt matter īcause nothing can stop the rain
Itīs still raining on me
Iīm drowning
Iīm drowning īcause I ainīt got nothing
So donīt bother trying to stop me
Iīm drowning in my own self-pity
So donīt bother wiping my tears away
īCause at the end of the rainbow it still rains
Itīs still raining on me
Iīm drowning
Iīm drowning īcause I ainīt got nothing
So donīt bother trying to stop me
Iīm drowning in my own self-pity
So donīt bother wiping my tears away
īCause at the end of the rainbow it still rains
6. Dancing with the Devil
And you just might dance with the devil
By the light of the moon
But I guarantee you that youīll think of me
With everything that you do
But I canīt believe you wanted to see
How life would be without you in me
My world would be over
I canīt cry anymore, because Iīve done it all before
Iīll give you time to make up your mind
But donīt take too long if you know for sure
And although I may not believe in my religion totally
I find myself praying that one day soon you will come back to me
My world would be over
And you must face your own decision from day to day
Iīll ask you once. "Do you think you can
Live with yourself this way?"
My world would be ove
7. Step Aside
In these days of eternity you never know what to think
Whether she loves you or if sheīll leave you
Is she worth it to straighten your brain?
First you take her in your arms and then youīll show her what love is
They walk away and does she gave you your heart?
Broken down it seems for an exit all night
The ceiling is all you see tonight, because your blood is rotting
Revolting weak thoughts, over rejection you know
Thereīs always two sides to every fight
Right in the end youīll be the one to apologize
I can do much better than you
Step aside, next in line
Bitch, stop wasting my time
Live my own life
Iīll die alone, playing these fucking games
Expected me to be your slave
Laughing with your face behind my back
Iīll die alone, playing these fucking games
Iīve had it up to here, Iīm a fake
My silver rings and this blade will stick you in the throat
And you choke, I donīt play God
See your dirty soul in my love
I have wanted to wait ahead of time
Donīt you dare fuck with my feelings, you bitch
On your hands and knees, you will
That you never took me for this life
All you had to do was love me like I loved you
Why did you turn away when I needed you most?
Holy shit, youīre fake, with a smile on your face
8. Colorblind
Iīm not trying to preach to you
Or tell you how to live your life
Youīd just better open your eyes
You need to stop judging people left and right
Why do you have to be so fucked up?
Why do you judge people before you even find
That people are people, no matter their skin
No matter black or white, just leave īem the fuck alone
Color doesnīt mean a thing
Unity is in my veins
Color doesnīt mean a thing
Unity is in my veins
The undecided facts that youīre hearing again
Just take a look at prejudice, existing every way
There is no escape to avoid the violence
Youīre too deaf, canīt fuck with us
Color doesnīt mean a thing
Unity is in my veins
Color doesnīt mean a thing
Unity is in my veins
Strip us of our skin and our flesh
Then they prejudice will end
We are all the same in the dark
Iīm not trying to preach to you
Or tell you how to live your life
Youīd just better open your eyes
You need to stop judging people left and right
Color doesnīt mean a thing
Unity is in my veins
Color doesnīt mean a thing
Unity is in my veins
9. March of the S.O.D. / Sargent D and the S.O.D.
uthless, vicious
Youīll suffer the worse
Deadly, malicious
Stay out of this space
Heīll rip your eyes out
Donīt look in my way
And wonīt you beat īem?
Thereīs no time to pray
Heīll rip your heart out
Youīll eat your own lips
Then crack your elbow
Crush your favorite tips
Heīll make you wish that you didnīt exist
īCause sergeant D. is coming and youīre on his list
Donīt close the door
Thereīs a gun up your ass
Donīt you dare try
These bridges are dead
Donīt try trick him
Heīll fill you with lead
Donīt beg for mercy
Heīll piss on your head
Heīll kill your sister
And mail back her tits
Heīll beat you senseless
Then bring out the whips
Heīll make you wish that you didnīt exist
īCause sergeant D. is coming and youīre on his list
Heīll pour gas on your kids
Then throw them a match
Like heīs caught grandma
Then does her real good
Troopers Of Death
There wonīt be a sound
Movies with the flesh
He tried to shout out
Dead īcause heīs justified
The reasons are clear
Donīt worry, thanks
Itīs all that they hear
Theyīll make you wish that you didnīt exist
īCause sergeant D. is coming and youīre on his list
10. Coffee Break
The most comfortable place
Isnīt comfortable anymore
I feel so out of place
No, no one knows me for sure
I have this guilty conscience
Made an effort not to be me
I feel like a certain somebody
But I know I canīt be me
Too many people try to put me down
Not accept me for me
I was insulted the other night
Conscious said itīs not me
So now I do, I do
You walk into a room
And you know itīs not real
I try to sing my songs
But I have trouble with that too
The hardest thing to imagine is what comes next
Donīt have strength, donīt have courage
When youīre lacking confidence
I wonīt let this feeling end
īCause it might not come again
So now I do, I do
You walk into a room
And you know itīs not real
I try to sing my songs
But I have trouble with that too
The most comfortable place isnīt comfortable
Did you ever feel out of place
īCause youīre not comfortable?
I wonīt let this feeling end
īCause it might not come again
11. Redemption Song
Old pirates, yes, they rob I, sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong by the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation, triumphantly
Wonīt you help to sing these songs of freedom?
īCause all I ever had, redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
īCause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets?
While we stand aside and look
Yes, some say itīs just a part of it
Weīve got to fulfill the book
Wonīt you help to sing these songs of freedom?
īCause all I ever had, redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
īCause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets?
While we stand aside and look
Yes, some say itīs just a part of it
Weīve got to fulfill the book
Wonīt you help to sing these songs of freedom?
īCause all I ever had, redemption songs
12. How it would be ī97
I wonder how itīd be if my mother was still around
The types of talk, the relationships we could have had
The three of us, me, you and dad
My mouth went dry, my stomach felt queasy too
So empty and scared, itīs all because of you
A dead body that turned out not to be dead
No one understands
Wish I really knew what happened to my mom
īCause my family, they told me nothing but lies
They figured if they just told me the truth
Iīd break down and cry
Feel betrayed and hurt, profoundly insecure
Wanna knock ten times on heavenīs door
Still suffering from old emotional wounds
I was getting worse
Canīt depend on them and their lies
Why did she leave?
And how did she die?
When it gets colder outside
Iīll be back next year
With that feeling to make me cry
Wanna go visit her grave, because itīs been a long, long time
Wanna pick a peach rose and rest it on its side
Say a prayer, even though I donīt believe
And say good-bye
Donīt get me wrong, I have a mind to keep me strong
But thereīs this feeling of not knowing what went wrong
And how sheīs dead and gone
Canīt depend on them and their lies
Why did she leave?
And how did she die?
When it gets colder outside
Iīll be back next year
With that feeling to make me cry
13.Tangerine (Re-Zep)
(Original version by Led Zeppelin)
Measuring a summerīs day
I only find it slips away to grey
The hours, they bring me pain
Tangerine, Tangerine
Living reflections from of a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years between
Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again? And I do
Tangerine, Tangerine
Living reflections from of a dream
And I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years between
14. Lost at 22 (Live)
If I knew what to do Iīd do it
If I knew where to go Iīd get there someday
If I knew how to fly Iīd fly away
Forget about life for a while
But it never is that easy
To just pick up and go, donīt do as your told
īCause life never works out that way
And if it were true, the skies would be full every day
If I knew how to fly Iīd fly away
If I knew how to fly away
Well, Iīm lost at 22, and Iīve got no fuckinī clue
And I donīt know if things will work out right
Lost and confused, lost at 22
I donīt know if my lifeīs gonna end up right
Keep on telling me
That Iīm young, dumb and naive
But thatīs just what they want me to believe
If I knew how to fly Iīd fly away
If I knew how to fly away
Iīd rather be lost at sea
Than become part of this society
Where the grass is always green, yeah
And the air is always clean
At least thatīs what they want me to believe
15. I Regret (Live)
I know my days are numbered
Iīve been in and out of this phase
But these days keep passing me by
Good never comes my way
I try to sit back and relax
I try to think of something good
Something else, something pure
I canīt, but I know I should
The things I should have said
The things that I regret
And I regret
No more waiting for something
Better to come along
Itīs much easier to change me
Than it is to change them all
The things I should have said
And the things that I regret
I need to shed all my skin
And start again
The things I should have said
The things that I regret
And I regret
Every turn I make is wrong
I havenīt smiled in so long
Shed my skin and start again
The memories that I once had
Of all the good times we all used to have
I said, shed my skin and start again
And I regret
The things I should have said
