| Eleven saintly shrouded men, silhouettes stand against the sky |
| One in front with a cross held high, come to wash my sins away |
| IM |
| Standing alone in the wind and the rain, feeling the fear that is growing |
| Sensing the change in the tide again, brought by the storm that is brewing |
| Feel the anxiety hold off the fear, some of the doubt in the things you believe |
| Now that your faith will be put to the test, nothing to do but await what is coming |
| IM |
| Why then is God still protecting me, even when I don't deserve it |
| Though I am blessed with an inner strength, some they would call it a penance |
| Why am I meant to face this alone, asking the question time and again |
| Praying to God won't keep me alive, inside my head feel the fear start to rise |
| IM |
| They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes |
| There'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day |
| And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes |
| They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away |
| IM |
| The sign of the cross |
| The name of the rose...a fire in the sky |
| The sign of the cross |
| IM |
| They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame |
| They'll be bringing us all immortality |
| Holding communion so the world be blessed |
| My creator, my God'll lay my soul to rest |

| IM |
| Lost the love of heaven above, chose the lust of the earth below |
| Eleven saintly shrouded men, came to wash my sins away |

IM |
| I don't care for this world anymore, I just want to live my own fantasy |
| Fate has brought us to these shores, what was meant to be is now happening |
| IM |
| I've found that I like this living in danger |
| Living on edge it feels it makes me feel as one |
| Who cares now what's right or wrong it's reality |
| Killing so we survive, wherever we may roam |
| Wherever we may hide, we've got to get away |
| IM |
| I don't want existence to end, we must prepare ourselves for the elements |
| I just want to feel like we're strong, we don't need a code of morality |
| IM |
| I like all the mixed emotion and anger |
| It brings out the animal the power you can feel |
| And feeling so high on this much adrenalin |
| Excited but scary to believe what we've become |
| IM |
| Saints and sinners, something within us, we are lord of the flies |
| Saints and sinners, something willing us, to be lord of the flies |
| IM |
| Saints and sinners, something within us, we are lord of the flies |
| Saints and sinners, something willing us, to be lord of the flies |
| IM |
| Saints and sinners, something within us, we are lord of the flies |
| Saints and sinners, something willing us, to be lord of the flies |

| The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles |
| The car is an oven and baking is wild |
| Nothing is ever the way it should be |
| What we deserve we just don't get you see |
| IM |
| A briefcase a lunch and a man on the edge |
| Each step gets closer to losing his head |
| Is someone in heaven are they looking down |
| Nothing is fair just you look around |
| IM |
| Falling down, falling down, falling down |
| Falling down, falling down, falling down |
| IM |
| He's sick of waiting of lying like this |
| There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss |
| Branded a leper because you don't fit |
| In the land of the free you just live by your wits |
| IM |
| Once he built missiles a nation's defence |
| Now he can't even get birthday presents |
| Across the city he leaves in his wake |
| A glimpse of the future a cannibal state |
| IM |
| Falling down, falling down, falling down |
| Falling down, falling down, falling down |

| After the war, and now that they've sent us homeward |
| I can't help but feel that I'm on my own |
| No one can see just what this conflict has done to |
| The minds of the men who are on their way home |
| IM |
| I'm scarred for life but it's not my flesh that's wounded |
| So how can I face the torment alone |
| The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares |
| I lay there and sweat until it gets light |
| IM |
| People say "don't worry" say that time's a perfect healer |
| That the nightmares they will come to pass |
| Can't hear what they're saying |
| I am living in my own world, and I'm feeling trance like all the time |
| IM |
| I hear voices in my head, could I really be going crazy |
| In the night the visions seem so real, do you care if you live or die |
| When you laugh are you really crying |
| You're not sure what's real anymore |
| IM |
| Fortunes of war, fortunes of war |
| Fortunes of war, no pain anymore |
| Fortunes of war, fortunes of war |
| Fortunes of war, no pain anymore |
| Fortunes of war |
| IM |
| Fortunes of war, fortunes of war |
| Fortunes of war, no pain anymore |
| Fortunes of war |

| Fortunes of war, fortunes of war |

| Sometime I wake |
| I feel that my spirit's broken |
| I wonder if I've the strength to carry on |
| Carry on |

IM |
| All my dark dreams drift like smoke in the breeze |
| The fear grips me as I fall towards my sleep |
| Here comes the nightmare that never ends |
| Here is the dream that makes monsters of men |
| IM |
| In the house of my soul, in rooms of ugliness and cold |
| Memories locked away, all the doubts and fears I never faced |
| IM |
| Now they come again, I am falling down to meet with them |
| Fears within us all, mine awake and they stand up tall |
| IM |
| Look for the truth |
| Deepest cut of all from you |
| Knife of the truth |
| Blade if hatred slicing through |
| IM |
| I pray my sleep will break, maybe this time I won't wake |
| Weakness I hide so well, this dagger in my mind will tell |
| IM |
| It's my final stand, I make a fist out of each hand |
| To shadows of the past, take a breath and I scream attack |
| IM |
| Look for the truth |
| Deepest cut of all from you |
| Knife of the truth |
| Blade of hatred slicing through |
| Here is the truth |
| Deepest cut of all from you |
| Knife of the truth |
| Blade of hatred slicing through |

| Silently to silence fall |
| In the fields of futile war |
| Toys of death are spitting lead |
| Where boys that were our soldiers bled |
| War horse and war machine |
| IM |
| Curse the name of liberty |
| Marching on as if they should |
| Mix in the dirt our brothers' blood |
| IM |
| In the mud and rain |
| What are we fighting for |
| Is it worth the pain |
| Is it worth dying for |
| Who will take the blame |
| Why did they make a war |
| Questions that come again |
| Should we be fighting at all |
| IM |
| Once a ploughman hitches his team |
| Here he sowed? his little dream |
| Now bodies arms and legs are strewn |
| Where mustard gas and barbwire bloom |
| Each moment's like a year |
| I've nothing left inside for tears |
| Comrades dead or dying lie |
| I'm left alone asking why |
| IM |
| In the mud and rain |
| What are we fighting for |
| Is it worth the pain |
| Is it worth dying for |
| Who will take the blame |
| Why did they make a war |
| Questions that come again |
| Should we be fighting at all |
| IM |
| After the war |
| Left feeling no one has won |
| After the war |
| What does a soldier become |
| IM |
| War is over and battles are gone |
| After the war no one has won |
| I'm just a soldier |

IM |
| A lonely cry for help reaching out for help to anyone |
| A silent prayer to God to help you on your way |
| I've been depressed so long it's hard to remember when I was happy |
| I've felt like suicide a dozen times or more but that's the easy way, that's the selfish way |
| The hardest part is to get on with your life |
| IM |
| You're searching in the dark clutching at straws to find a way |
| You take the Tarot cards and throw them to the wind |
| You question your beliefs, your inner thoughts, your whole existence |
| And if there is a God then answer if you will |
| And tell me of my fate, tell me of my place, tell me if I'll ever rest in peace |
| IM |
| If you could live your life again would you change a thing or leave it all the same |
| If you had the chance again would you change a thing at all |
| When you look back at your past can you say that you are proud of what you've done |
| Are there times when you believe that the right you thought was wrong |
| IM |
| All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me |
| All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me |
| Waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me |
| Yeah, Yeah |
| IM |
| All of my life now I have believed Judgement of Heaven awaits for me |
| All of my life now I have believed Judgement of Heaven awaits for me |
| IM |
| All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me |
| All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me |
| Waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me |
| Yeah, Yeah |
| Yeah |
| Yeah |

| Sometimes it makes me wonder, sometimes it makes me question |
| Sometimes it makes me saddened, always it makes me angry but... |
| IM |
| When you can see it happening, the madness that's all around you |
| Nobody seems to worry, the world seems so powerless to act... |
| IM |
| It's out of control |
| Blood on The World's Hands |
| Each day a new toll |
| IM |
| Another assassination, the same day a new creation |
| But what are they coming into, security of a world that brings... |
| IM |
| One day another killing, somewhere there's someone starving |
| Another a savage raping, meanwhile there's someone laughing at us |
| IM |
| It's out of control |
| Blood on The World's Hands |
| Each day it goes on |
| Blood on The World's Hands, Blood on The World's Hands |
| Blood on The World's Hands, Blood on The World's Hands |
| IM |
| Blood on The World's Hands, Blood on The World's Hands |
| Blood on The World's Hands, Blood on The World's Hands |
| IM |
| Brutality and aggression, tomorrow another lesson |
| Expecting another air raid, praying for a ceasefire... |
| IM |
| They say things are getting better, no need to be complacent |
| There's chaos across the border, and one day it could be happening to us |
| IM |
| It's out of control |
| Blood on The World's Hands |
| It's our epitaph |
| It's out of control |
| Someone should know |
| Blood on The World's Hands |
| Someone should... |

| I've looked into the heart of darkness where the blood red journey ends |
| When you've faced the heart of darkness even your soul begins to bend |
| IM |
| For a week I have been waiting still I am only in Saigon |
| The walls move in a little closer I feel the jungle call me on |
| IM |
| Every minute I get weaker while in the jungle they grow strong |
| What I wanted was a mission and for my sins they gave me one |
| IM |
| They brought it up just like room service 'cause everyone gets what they want |
| And when that mission was all over I'd never want another one |
| IM |
| I know captain that you've done this work before |
| We've got a problem you can help us all I'm sure |
| The colonel's gone rogue and his methods are unsound |
| You'll take a PBR up river track him down |
| IM |
| There's a conflict in every human heart and the temptation is to take it all too far |
| In this war things get so confused, but there are some things which cannot be excused |
| IM |
| He's acting like a God...an insane lunatic, your mission - exterminate with extreme prejudice |
| The route is dangerous and your progress may be slow, here is the file and it's all you need to know |
| IM |
| Here I am the knife in my hand |
| And now I understand why the genius must die |
| IM |
| Now I stand alone in darkness with his blood upon my hands |
| Where sat the warriors the poet now lie the fragments of a man |
| IM |
| I've looked into the heart of darkness where the blood red journey ends |
| When you've faced the heart of darkness even your soul begins to bend |

| I get in from work at 2 AM and sit down with a beer |
| Turn on late night T.V. and then I wonder why I'm here |
| It's meaningless and trivial and it washes over me |
| And once again I wonder is this all there is for me |
| IM |
| Here I am again |
| Look at me again |
| Here I am again |
| On my own |
| Trying hard to see |
| What there is for me |
| Here I am again |
| On my own |
| IM |
| Life seems so pathetic I wish I could leave it all behind |
| This canvas chair this bed these walls that fall in on my mind |
| Hold on for something better that just drags you through the dirt |
| Do you just let go or carry on and try to take the hurt |
| IM |
| Here I am again |
| Look at me again |
| Here I am again |
| On my own |
| Trying hard to see |
| What there is for me |

| When you start to take a look within, do you feel at ease with what you see |
| Do you think you can have peace of mind and have self belief or be satisfied |
| IM |
| Do you think you even like yourself, or really think you could be someone else |
| Is there something that you'd rather be never thought you'd be had the chance to see |
| IM |
| All my life I've run away all my life I've tried to hide away |
| IM |
| Feel the paranoia creeping in, like a cancer eating at the skin |
| Do you feel you've lost your self esteem and your self respect what can you expect |

| All my life I've run away all my life I've tried to hide away |
| All my life I've run away all my life I've tried to hide away |

| Are you scared to look inside your mind, are you worried just at what you'll find |
| Do you really want to face the truth does it matter now what have you got to lose |

| Try release the anger from within, forgive yourself a few immortal sins |
| Do you really care what people think are you strong enough to release the guilt |
