PAY DIRT
Oh, I can take only so much
I’m not your bitch, clean it up
Tear a big hole, sew it up
Send me in a spin, rather lock me up
No longer will I entertain
Breaking my back for your gain
I’m sorry if you feel it’s strange
I owe you nothing, and then some change
It’s not enough
Never enough
Oh well, I guess you get no love from me
What’s in it, in it for me?
All this and more can be all yours
Just knuckle down
Nothing’s for free
Roll up your sleeves and hit pay dirt
What do I get out of the deal?
What is the pay off, is it real?
It’s not enough
Never enough
Oh well, I guess you get no love from me

HIT ME UP
Starts like any other night on the town
The drinks are quickly comin’ and you knock ‘em down
Soon the lines are blurred, but you feel just fine
You keep the rounds comin’ and you see a sign
Persuade yourself that you are the king of queens
Got money in the pocket of your skin tight jeans
Come on hit me up
Hit me up baby, keep it straight no chaser
Hit me up baby with your ego inflator
Hit me up
Like a nighthawk goes in for the kill
Descends on the pray with precision and skill
Implies that they should both keep an open mind
That they might be surprised at what they find
After all this is the city of one night stands
He hopes that she accepts with open hands
Come on hit me up
Hit me up baby, keep it straight no chaser
Hit me up baby with your ego inflator
Hit me up

FUCK OFF AND FRY
Heaves herself up on a ledge
A jump for joy would make more sense
Burning bridges wherever she goes
Picks up the pieces, or so the story goes
What is the use of being alive?
Every word you speak is just a lie
What is the use of being alive?
Why don’t you fuck off and fry
She plays the victim like she’s innocent
Misleading vixen with her hidden ploys
Serves up a scoop now of phony cries
No amount of facelifts can deter the eyes
What is the use of being alive?
Every word you speak is just a lie
What is the use of being alive?
Why don’t you fuck off and fry
Head for the exit
Don’t let the door hit you on the way
What is the use of being alive?
Every word you speak is just a lie
What is the use of being alive?
Why don’t you fuck off and fry

LEAD US TO THE SLAUGHTER
Lead us to the slaughter, we don’t have a way to decline
Place us all in order, we can only blame the bloodline
Sacred and holy are the strains coming from the east
Prepare us well and slowly, as we are clearly the feast
The table is already set
Lead us away
Lead us
Pastures of pleasures, roaming free would be the ideal
Bodies to the measure, but still we cannot appeal
Mouths are for feeding, and the tongue is flavoured and mute
Our hope is receding, we live the life that’s destitute
The table is already set
So lead us away

BLACK SOUL
Black soul has tunnel vision
Black soul likes to dominate
Black soul needs no goddamn reason
Any excuse to deter my faith
Black soul drives me to madness
And I swear if I had no will
It would tear from the inside outwards
And I would stand no chance in hell
Sometimes the road is easy
Most days it takes its toll
Sometimes you need to pack some punches
And throw your prayers in a wishing well
Ride home, ride home
Don’t flee to the streets
I’ll meet you there
Black soul makes bad decisions
And along goes innocence
White soul’s in no position
And I’m sure we can all relate
Sometimes the road is easy
Most days it takes its toll
Sometimes you need to pack some punches
And throw your prayers in a wishing well
Hold on, hold on
Although the will is weak
Hold on, hold on
Or get knocked off your feet
Ride home as fast as the wind blows
Ride home, I’ll meet you there
The dark needs no invitation
He’ll be waiting for you who knows where

BEATEN BY THE GUN
Awaken, to discover the time
It fell by the wayside
Must have left it behind
Destiny walked away from me
And it has been made known to me
That I should sleep when I am dead
Moving, swiftly along
To the prized destination
We’ll be there before long
Before I knew it, it was gone
Opened my eyes, but time was gone
It was too late to do a thing
‘Cause I got beaten by the gun
Moving, swiftly along
To the prized destination
We’ll be there before long
Destiny walked away from me
And it has been made known to me
That I should sleep when I am dead
‘Cause I got beaten by the gun

THE WALK
Hold the line until you see the light
Across the seas and far beyond the night
The storm clouds come to wash, to purge away
It feels like summer, but here comes the rain
Rain down, down on me
Rain down
I can’t see the edge with all this noise
The skies are bleeding, the thunder drowns your voice
Colours face from blue to darkened grey
The storm clouds come to wash my sins away
Rain down, down on me
Rain down
I can’t see the edge with all this noise
The skies are bleeding, the thunder drowns your voice

STUCK IN A RUT
Stuck in a rut
Stuck here for good?
Stuck in a rut by myself
What am I to do?
By myself
A new day breaks and it’s always the same
From the sunrise ‘till my eyes close
Without change
What am I to do?
It’s the same old thing
We keep asking ourselves
How do we get out of this prison?
To the other side
What am I to do?
It’s the same old thing
We keep asking ourselves
I’m stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut for good
