Pay Dirt 03:25
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 03:25
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 04:54
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 03:36
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
