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

      (Chorus)
         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

Dream of wars, dream of liars
Dream of dragon's fires
And the things that will bite

      (Chorus)
Sleep with one eye open
         Gripping your pillow tight

              Exit light
              Enter night
              Take my hand
              We're off to Never Never Land

      (Spoken)
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the LORD my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I 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 beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

      (Chorus)
              Exit light
              Enter night
              Grain of sand
              Exit light
              Enter night
              Take my hand
              We're off to Never Never Land

      (Repeat 'til end)
      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

      (Chorus)
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 shamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, Scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds for you're the one who's blamed

      (Chorus)
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

      (Chorus)
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 reason alibies
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you
Sad But True


Holier Than Thou
No more!
The crap 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 you 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

      (Chorus)
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

      (Chorus)
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 pained 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
His will they'll take away
      (Chorus)
            What I've felt
            What I've known
            Never shined through in what I've shown
            Never be
            Never see
            Won't see what I 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 there is me

      (Chorus)

What I've felt
            What I've known
            Never shined through in what I've shown
            Never be
            Never see
            Won't see what I 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

           You labled me
           I'll lable you
           So I dub thee 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

      (Chorus intro)
     Rover     Wanderer
     Nomad     Vagabond
     Call me what you will

      (Chorus)
          But I'll take my time anywhere
          Free speak my mind anywhere
          And I'll redefine anywhere
             Anywhere I 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 I've severed clean
Less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign

      (Chorus intro)
     Rover     Wanderer
     Nomad     Vagabond
     Call me what you will

      (Chorus)
          But I'll take my time anywhere
          Free speak my mind anywhere
          And I'll never mind anywhere
             Anywhere I roam
             Where I lay my head is home

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

          Carved upon my stone
          My body lie, but still I roam
             Where I lay my head is home


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

      (Chorus)
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 Leave it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lightning strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

      (Chorus)
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...

                 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 of 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 to 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

      (Chorus)
          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

       On  Through  The  Never
We must go
On  Through  The  Never
Out to the
Edge  Of  Forever
We must go
On  Through  The  Never
The never comes

      (Chorus)
          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 trust in 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 somethin g new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

      (Chorus)
          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 trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

      (Chorus)
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
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

      (Chorus)
          Never cared for what they say
          Never cared for games they play
          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 trust in 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
Out from the new day's mist I have come
We shift
Pulsing with the Earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep

      (Chorus)
     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 in starlight
Chill in the air cold as steel tonight
We shift
Call of the wild
Fear in your eyes
It's later than you realized

      (Chorus I)
  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 a 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

      (Chorus)
     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

      (Chorus)
     It feeds
     It grows
     It clouds all that you well know
     Deceit
     Deceive
     Decide just what you believe
          I see Faith in your eyes
          Never you hear the discouraging cries
          I hear Faith in your cries
          Broken is the promise, betrayal
          The healing hand held back by the deepend nail
          Follow the God that failed

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

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

      (Chorus)
  It feeds
     It grows
     It clouds all that you well know
     Deceit
     Deceive
     Decide just what you believe
          I see Faith in your eyes
          Never you hear the discouraging cries
          I hear Faith in your cries
          Broken is the promise, betrayal
          The healing hand held back by the deepend nail
          Follow the God that failed

                 I see Faith in your eyes
          Broken is the promise, betrayal
          The healing hand held back by the deepend nail
          Follow the God that failed

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

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

      (Chorus I)
  It feeds
     It grows
     It clouds all that you well know
     Deceit
     Deceive
     Decide just what you believe
          I see Faith in your eyes
          Never you hear the discouraging cries
          I hear Faith in your cries
          Broken is the promise, betrayal
          The healing hand held back by the deepend nail
          Follow the God that failed

Broken is the promise

Betrayal
      (Repeat)


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 own 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

      (Chorus)
          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

      (Chorus)
  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 to show it your gratitude
So many things you don't want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose

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

      (Chorus)
     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 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 is so unreal

      (Chorus)
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

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

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

      (Chorus)
Struggle within     It suits you fine
     Struggle within     Your ruin
     Struggle within     You seal your own coffin
     Struggle within     The struggling within
