The Lamb 04:02
you better learn you better run you better hide cause we've all got debts to pay and while you sit and grow fat off the land you'll be the lamb on judgment day you better turn 'fore the door is closed stick a foot or get locked away cause they're always the last to know like the sheep who've paved the way life... ebb away... life... life... ebb away... life... does no good to kick and scream cause the hands have a death grip hold and while you wait for the end of the world just remember that you've been told
3.
sign away for sorrow dream toward the end the fate was sealed inside the flames with no way to know who to blame... blame yeah! draw a little blood and a bone from your gullet a scar for a tale to tell it was knocked into shape by the form of a bullet a bullet we all know well cause we are fools that are running in rhythm denial running like there's something to gain but it's not done yet, it's not done yet... not with these ball and chains... chains!
4.
something wet and cold lingers deep in the heart buried nearly forgotten it crawls in the dark with malice and venom it slowly begins to climb gone for your throat and coiled around your spine pain... it's calling you home as the teeth, so go the bones wail... like no one can hear desperation fanning your fears yeah... waiting is the worst part of losing it all the agony multiplies a thousand times as time crawls strip back the skin and the meat just to see what's behind nothing in nothing on nothing is all i can find pain... it's calling you home as the teeth, so go the bones wail... like no one can hear desperation fanning your fears yeah... the whores have come for their daily bread feeding like the rats on your trash better living or better dead?
5.
if all you have is all you need then what's the point making it bleed? bleed it's all control it's all fake trying to suppress oceans of hate hate yeah... yeah... i shoulda saw it comin' from miles away i didn't realize the answer was in front of me all the time i just lived my life slow drain from day to day till it was burning inside a blast furnace of the anger that i felt my entire life give it up or give it away till it comes right back into your fucking face yeah... yeah...
6.
she's a riddle - a curving road she's a steep hill - with a heavy load she's got her brights on - in the sun she likes to control - every one yeah she's a knock down - kick in the nuts she's a klepto - stealing your stuff she's double axeled - bends all ways she's on her period - for seventy days yeah she's a negative - schemin' liar an old dragon - breathin' fire she's got the brakes on - trying to drive she's got a heartbeat - of 185 yeah
7.
it's coming as it rolls across the ground spreading fear along the way and it's too late the sun rising and it kills me all the while well i'll ride when i'm able and i'll ride when i want save me then... no answer as they turn their backs and walk the stray eyes of the insincere behold two face they're all laughing till it pulls 'round and comes for them well i'll ride when i'm able and i'll ride when i want and you'll ride when you're able you'll ride when i say so... deadset and drowned in aim run amok teeth bared year by year they peel away roll to the floor none spared well i'll ride when i'm able and i'll ride when i want and you'll ride when you're able you'll ride when i say so save me then...

Swathe 03:44
you ain't no saint you cloak your sins ride on their backs and always win you bend the rules to suit your needs your finest hour is when you leave you are the leech suck off your friends you hold them down to meet your ends you have no faults except your greed and every lie in the air you breathe break like the rabbit and run the wolves you thought were sheep have slowly turned and gained ground you have no heart inside your chest a gaping chasm a rats nest and that is why you parasite pathetically you cling to life break like the rabbit and run the wolves you thought were sheep have slowly turned and gained ground you ain't no saint you cloak your sins ride on their backs and always win you bend the rules to suit your needs your finest hour is when you leave
9.
any time or place while the kingdom's breaking you can hear on the wind the sound of tyrants shaking like magic and gospel they're worlds away everything that we have will be the price that we'll pay come on and... the end is... sure coming the throngs all screaming running the empire limping on one leg... lord... lord the wounded are yearning the buildings crumbling burning the state with one foot in the grave... lord... lord by the time it hits we'll be anesthetized drawn to the fire by the dollar signs the great pacifier dumb by design it'll take a cataclysm to pull the wool from our eyes come on and... the end is... sure coming the throngs all screaming running the empire limping on one leg... lord... lord the wounded are yearning the buildings crumbling burning the state with one foot in the grave... lord... lord prey on pray on collide collide the end is... sure coming the throngs all screaming running the empire limping on one leg... lord... lord the wounded are yearning the buildings crumbling burning the state with one foot in the grave... lord... lord the fabric tears at the seams enigmas invade our dreams we are all looking for the fall the riddles not what they seem the end can't excuse the means destruction coming for us all... yeah

Toreador 04:04
from the first breath he held back all the circumstance he lacked the more you kick something the more it moves or keeps on kicking back so long... watch out for your so called friends cause when your back is turned you may not notice the bull will throw you if he can when you believe you're the sane one you... truly misbehave constantly ignored the facts at all technology he laughed the more you drag something you drag it down and keep on digging tracks so long... watch out for your so called friends cause when your back is turned you may not notice the bull will throw you if he can when you believe you're the sane one you... truly misbehave
11.
wide and low keep it... do you work all day - are you bought and sold? can you drink the man under the table - and carry off his gold? in the final hour - do you dare to make a sound? better place your bets - cause the devil's comin' 'round yeah keep or lose your head keep or lose your head keep or lose your head keep... it do you walk a wire - through a million unclaimed dreams? do you wrap the noose around your neck and let it spread its wings? in your day to day - does the wrong take over the right? better place your bets - cause the games begin tonight yeah keep or lose your head keep or lose your head keep or lose your head keep... it gentlemen, your languidness has spread apathy has burrowed in your head medicine to keep your blood red innocence is good and dead make your final bed take your last sigh welcome home your dread look alive look you second best down and out for so long i never knew what the angels said till they were all gone... we don't... we don't mind we don't... we don't mind save yourself save the one you're with the head start on your last run i never knew what the demons did till they were all done we don't... we don't mind we don't... we don't mind
