Enter Sandman

        Say your prayers little one
        Don't forget, my son
        To include everyone
        Tuck you in, warm within
        Keep you free from sin
        Till the sandman he comes

           Sleep with one eye open
           Gripping your pillow tight
                Exit: light
                Enter: night
                Take my hand
                We're off to never never land

        Something's wrong, shut the light
        Heavy thoughts tonight
        And they aren't of snow white

        Dreams of war, dreams of liars
        Dreams of dragon's fire
        And of things that will bite

           Sleep with one eye open
           Gripping your pillow tight
                Exit: light
                Enter: night
                Take my hand
                We're off to never never land

        Now I lay me down to sleep
        Pray the lord my soul to keep
        If I die before I wake
        Pray the lord my soul to take

        Hush little baby, don't say a word
        And never mind that noise you heard
        It's just the beast under your bed,
        In your closet, in your head

                Exit: light
                Enter: night
                Grain of sand

                Exit: light
                Enter: night
                Take my hand
                We're off to never never land


Sad but True

        Hey
        I'm your life
        I'm the one who takes you there
        Hey
        I'm your life
        I'm the one who cares
        They
        They betray
        I'm your only true friend now 
        They
        They'll betray
        I'm forever there

           I'm your dream, make you real
           I'm your eyes   when you must steal
           I'm your pain   when you can't feel
           Sad but true
           I'm your dream, mind astray
           I'm your eyes   while you're away
           I'm your pain   while you repay
           You know it's sad but true

        You
        You're my mask
        You're my cover, my shelter
        You
        You're my mask
        You're the one who's blamed
        Do
        Do my work
        Do my dirty work, scapegoat
        Do
        Do my deeds
        For you're the one who's shamed

           I'm your dream, make you real
           I'm your eyes   when you must steal
           I'm your pain   when you can't feel
           Sad but true
           I'm your dream, mind astray
           I'm your eyes   while you're away
           I'm your pain   while you repay
           You know it's sad but true

        Hate
        I'm your hate
        I'm your hate when you want love
        Pay
        Pay the price
        Pay, for nothing's fair

        Hey
        I'm your life
        I'm the one who took you there
        Hey
        I'm your life
        And I no longer care

           I'm your dream, make you real
           I'm your eyes   when you must steal
           I'm your pain   when you can't feel
           Sad but true
           I'm your truth, telling lies
           I'm your reasoned alibis
           I'm inside      open your eyes
           I'm you
           Sad but true


Holier than Thou

        No more!
        The craps rolls out your mouth again
        Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin 
        Little whispers circle around your head
        Why don't you worry about yourself instead

        Who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
        Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
        You lie so much you believe yourself
        Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

           Holier than thou
           You are
           Holier than thou
           You are
           You know not

        Before you judge me take a look at you
        Can't you find something better to do
        Point the finger, slow to understand
        Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

        It's not who you are it's who you know
        Others lives are the basis of your own
        Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
        Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

           Holier than thou
           You are
           Holier than thou 
           You are
           You know not


The Unforgiven

        New blood joins this earth
        And quickly he's subdued 
        Through constant pain disgrace
        The young boy learns their rules

        With time the child draws in
        This whipping boy done wrong
        Deprived of all his thoughts
        The young man struggles on and on he's known
        A vow unto his own 
        That never from this day
        His will they'll take away

            What I've felt
            What I've known
            Never shined through in what I've shown
            Never be 
            Never see
            Won't see what might have been
            What I've felt
            What I've known
            Never shined through in what I've shown
            Never free
            Never me
            So I dub thee unforgiven

        They dedicate their lives
        To running all of his
        He tries to please them all
        This bitter man he is
        Throughout his life the same
        He's battled constantly
        This fight he cannot win
        A tired man they see no longer cares
        The old man then prepares
        To die regretfully
        That old man here is me

            What I've felt
            What I've known
            Never shined through in what I've shown
            Never be
            Never see
            Won't see what might have been
            What I've felt
            What I've known
            Never shined through in what I've shown
            Never free
            Never me
            So I dub the unforgiven

        You labeled me
        I'll label you 
        So I dub the unforgiven


Wherever I May Roam

        ...And the road becomes my bride
        I have stripped of all but pride
        So in her I do confide
        And she keeps me satisfied
        Gives me all I need

        ...And with dust in throat I crave
        Only knowledge will I save
        To the game you stay a slave
        Rover     wanderer
        Nomad     vagabond
        Call me what you will

          But I'll take my time anywhere
          Free to speak my mind anywhere
          And I'll redefine anywhere
          Anywhere I may roam
          Where I lay my head is home

        ...And the earth becomes my throne
        I adapt to the unknown
        Under wandering stars I've grown
        By myself but not alone
        I ask no one

        ...And my ties are severed clean
        The less I have the more I gain
        Off the beaten path I reign
        Rover     wanderer
        Nomad     vagabond
        Call me what you will

              But I'll take my time anywhere
              I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
              And I'll never mind anywhere
                 Anywhere I may roam
                 Where I lay my head is home

              But I'll take my time anywhere
              Free to speak my mind
              And I'll take my find anywhere
                 Anywhere I may roam
                 Where I lay my head is home

              Carved upon my stone
              My body lie, but still I roam
                 Wherever I may roam


Don't Tread On Me

        Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
        Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
        Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
        Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

        Don't tread on me

            So be it 
            Threaten no more
            To secure peace is to prepare for war
            So be it 
            Settle the score
            Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

        Don't tread on me
 
        Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
        Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
        Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
        The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

        Don't tread on me

            So be it 
            Threaten no more
            To secure peace is to prepare for war
            So be it 
            Settle the score
            Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

        Don't tread on me

            So be it
            Threaten no more
            To secure peace is to prepare for war

        Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
        Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

            So be it 
            Threaten no more
            To secure peace is to prepare for war
            So be it
            Settle the score
            Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

        Don't tread on me

Through the Never

        All that is, was and will be
        Universe much too big to see

        Time and space never ending
        Disturbing thoughts, questions pending
        Limitations of human understanding
        Too quick to criticize
        Obligation to survive
        We hunger to be alive

            All that is, ever
            Ever was
            Will be ever
            Twisting
            Turning
            Through the never

        In the dark, see past our eyes
        Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies

        Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
        On a quest, meaning, reason
        Came to be, how it begun
        All alone in the family of the sun
        Curiosity teasing everyone
        On our home, third stone from the sun
 
            All that is, ever
            Ever was
            Will be ever
            Twisting
            Turning
            Through the never

        On through the never
        We must go
        On through the never
        Out to the
        Edge of forever
        We must go
        On through the never
        Then ever comes

            All that is, ever
            Ever was
            Will be ever
            Who we are
            Ask forever
            Twisting
            Turning
            Through the never

            Never


Nothing Else Matters

        So close no matter how far
        Couldn't be much more from the heart
        Forever trusting who we are
        And nothing else matters

        Never opened myself this way
        Life is ours, we live it our way
        All these words I don't just say
        and nothing else matters

        Trust I seek and I find in you
        Every day for us something new
        Open mind for a different view
        And nothing else matters

            Never cared for what they do
            Never cared for what they know
            But I know

        So close no matter how far
        Couldn't be much more from the heart
        Forever trusting who we are
        And nothing else matters

            Never cared for what they do
            Never cared for what they know
            But I know
 
        Never opened myself this way
        Life is ours, we live it our way
        All these words I don't just say

        Trust I seek and I find in you
        Every day for us something new
        Open mind for a different view
        And nothing else matters
 
            Never cared for what they say
            Ever cared for games they play
            Never cared for what they do
            Nnever cared for what they know
            And I know

        So close no matter how far
        Couldn't be much more from the heart
        Forever trusting who we are
        No nothing else matters


Of Wolf and Man

        Off through the new day's mist I run
        Off from the new day's mist I have come
        I hunt
        Therefore I am
        Harvest the land
        Taking of the fallen lamb 

        Off through the new day's mist I run
        Off from the new day's mist I have come
        We shift
        Pulsing with the earth
        Company we keep
        Roaming the land while you sleep

           Shape shift     nose to the wind
           Shape shift     feeling I've been
           Move swift      all senses clean
           Earth's gift    back to the meaning of life

        Bright is the moon high in starlight
        Chill is the air cold as steel tonight
        We shift
        Call of the wild
        Fear in your eyes
        It's later than you realized

           Shape shift     nose to the wind
           Shape shift     feeling I've been
           Move swift      all senses clean
           Earth's gift    back to the meaning of life

        I feel I change
        Back to a better day
        Hair stands on the back of my neck
        In wildness is the preservation of the world

        So seek the wolf in thyself

           Shape shift     nose to the wind
           Shape shift     feeling I've been
           Move swift      all senses clean
           Earth's gift
           Back to the meaning of wolf and man


The God that Failed

        Pride you took
        Pride you feel
        Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

        Not the word
        Not the love
        Not what you thought from above

           It feeds
           It grows
           It clouds all that you will know
           Deceit
           Deceive
           Decide just what you believe

             I see faith in your eyes
             Never your hear the discouraging lies
             I hear faith in your cries
             Broken is the promise, betrayal
             The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

             Follow the god that failed

        Find your peace
        Find your say
        Find the smooth road in your way

        Trust you gave
        A child to save
        Left you cold and him in grave

           It feeds
           It grows
           It clouds all that you will know
           Deceit
           Deceive
           Decide just what you believe

             I see faith in your eyes
             Never you hear the discouraging lies
             I hear faith in your cries
             Broken is the promise, betrayal
             The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

             Follow the god that failed

             I see faith in your eyes
             Broken is the promise, betrayal
             The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

             Follow the god that failed

        Pride you took
        Pride you feel
        Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

        Trust you gave

My Friend of Misery

        You just stood there screaming
        Fearing no one was listening to you
        They say the empty can rattles the most
        The sound of your voice must soothe you
        Hearing only what you want to hear
        And knowing only what you've heard
        You    you're smothered in tragedy
        You're out to save the world 

            Misery
            You insist that the weight of the world
            Should be on your shoulders
            Misery
            There's much more to life than what you see
            My friend of misery

        You still stood there screaming
        No one caring about these words you tell
        My friend before your voice is gone
        One man's fun is another's hell
        These times are sent to try men's souls
        But something's wrong with all you see
        You    you'll take it on all yourself
        Remember, misery loves company 

                    Misery
                    You insist that the weight of the world 
                    Should be on your shoulders
                    Misery
                    There's much more to life than what you see
                    My friend of misery

        You just stood there screaming 
        My friend of misery


The Struggle Within

        Reaching out for something you've got to feel
        While clutching to what you had thought was real

        Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
        No way of showing your gratitude
        So many things you don't want to do
        What is it? what have you got ot lose

        What the hell
        What is it you think you're gonna find?
        Hypocrite
        Boredom sets into the boring mind

            Struggle within   it suits you fine
            Struggle within   your ruin
            Struggle within   you seal your own coffin 
            Struggle within   the struggling within

        Home is not a home it becomes a hell
        Turning it into your prison cell
        Advantages are taken, not handed out
        While you struggle inside your hell 

        Reaching out 
        Grabbing for something you've got to feel
        Closing in
        The pressure upon you is so unreal

            Struggle within   it suits you fine 
            Struggle within   your ruin
            Struggle within   you seal your own coffin
            Struggle within   the struggling within

        Reaching out for something you've got to feel
        While clutching to what you had thought was real
        What the hell

        What is it you think you're gonna find
        Hypocrte
        Boredom sets into the boring mind

            Struggle within   it suits you fine
            Struggle within   your ruin
            Struggle within   you seal your own coffin
            Struggle within   the struggling within
