Enemy's God 04:45
Your gonna miss me when you think I ‘m gone Is no time is wasted? It’s time to carry on It happens so fast I think “what’s the point of it all?” and I hang on so dearly to something I may not recall I beg you I love you I fade you Hey brother won’t you break these chains Tired of running wont you let me win We’re all running from the same damn thing Running from the enemy’s god Slow on the leash and quick to the heart’s decay I walk for miles on that bridge that has yet to be paved It happens so fast I grieve what I can’t get done (oh lord) Regretting so dearly the hate lost on everyone I beg you I love you I fade you Hey brother won’t you break these chains Tired of running wont you let me win We’re running from the same damn thing Running from the enemy’s god The trouble with angels that don’t have no wings They take you to places that don’t mean anything I’m lost in your eyes but I’ll pay for your way when you fall You might as well fall… Hey brother won’t you break these chains Tired of running wont you let me win We’re running from the same damn thing Running from the enemy’s god Running from the enemy’s god Running from the enemy’s god Running …..oh

Fill me up 04:04
I remember when I worked for love instead It faded over time for a mercenary head If feel no guilt no one can ever change me I hide behind the walls that close in on me Fill me up again Make me want to live Take my hand and try Ya change this world of mine I greet the strangers with a handshake and a smile I pass my judgments so quickly all the while It’s a miracle they don’t see through it So invisible that it makes me sick Fill me up again Make me want to live Take my hand and try Ya change this world of mine And all your war medals, hanging there Can’t erase who you are too me It turns me on you standing strong, mistakes and all Your alive, your effect, It turns me on, I want to live, I want to give, give away, my mistakes It turns me It turns me Cause it turns me Turn it on Fill me up again Make me want to live Take my hand and try Ya change this world of mine Change this world of mine Change this world of mine Change this world of mine Ya Change this world up

Lost outside your picket fence she grieves her past when… A tall young man walks her through the church by the hand She’s going, she’s leaving today… Back from the convent an orphan lost her way It’s a crime against yourself so you better Take your medicine Take your medicine from me On a train back from New York she found resolve in question If no one did want me than why didn’t I start taking? The train froze its wheels on that day Back from the convent an orphan lost her way It’s a crime against yourself so you better Take your medicine Take your medicine Take your medicine Take your medicine from me Like a butcher praying inside the walls of the Vatican She leaves the hundreds of men that she’s know on the steps by the garden She’s laughing, she’s crying, she sees yes That it’s the kind of beautiful that brings you to your knees It’s a crime against yourself so you better Take your medicine Take your medicine Take your medicine Take …….

Inside 04:30
She lit up a smoke that sparked her smile Fair weather friends would only stay a while Booze in the back fancy collars up front Now I’m trying to give her what I think she wants It’s been 10 years since I lost my name I cried for help but no one came She saved my life but she took my soul And caged me up like an animal Oh it’s my life again I went to the bottle and I made it back alive Oh it’s my time again Break out of the inside Break out of the inside Turn the key, staring at the street Drive me to my destiny Where the day time vampires wait hungry And I celebrate their company Oh and it’s my life again I went to the bottle and I made it back alive Oh and it’s my time again Break out of the inside Break out of the inside I don’t joke about only one thing Prison breaks from this disease yeah Oh it’s my life again I went to the bottle and I made it back alive Oh and it’s my time again Break out of the inside Break out of the inside Oh and it’s my life again I went to the bottle and I made it back alive Oh and it’s my time again Break out of the inside Out of the inside oh Out of the inside Out of the inside Out of the inside

Sorry Again 04:40
Watch out somebody said Those rockets go straight to your head Could it be that this waltz we dance? Is nothing but a cheap cold fiction? You wait for another Send me a letter Given me the push for something better Ooh I’m sorry again A drink for a lover Aren’t you comin over? You sell me out in the undercover Ooh babe I’m sorry again You’re a taxi without a fair You’re idle but you drive everywhere Could it be that you hope I’d ask To get in your good graces again You wait for another Send me a letter Given me the push for something better Ooh I’m sorry again A drink for a lover Aren’t you comin over? You sell me out in the undercover Ooh babe I’m sorry again And all, that is fair, couldn’t give a damn for me so I will stop saying That you want to change things Cause you want to… I’m Sorry…..I’m so sorry Ohhh I’m sorry again yeah A drink for a lover Send me a letter Drop me honey, but there is nothing better Ooh babe I’m sorry again Ooh I’m sorry again Ooh sorry again

The first night I dreamed of days with her I woke up I was left undone The second night I went to her home Behind her doors everything was gone It’s an empty feeling When you lose your ceiling You stand there naked at the door And all your good intentions And your life’s ambitions Can’t save you from this anymore I’ve lived with wonder of promised loved it turns its back and say’s it’s never enough How people can dream through all of this Maybe they are to scared of the things they’d miss It’s an empty feeling When you lose your ceiling You stand there naked at the door And all your good intentions And your life’s ambitions Can’t save you from this anymore And it’s an empty feeling When you lose your ceiling You stand there naked at the door And all your good intentions And your life’s ambitions Can’t save you from this anymore Well it’s an empty feeling When you lose your ceiling stand there naked at the door all your good intentions And your life’s ambitions Can’t save you, can’t save you anymore

You could see a picture with writing on the wall Of a fighting prophet speaking of the fall Your trapped in a jail and called a heretic And you sit in silence while your story sticks Their gonna break you down Their gonna make you try Their gonna say goodbye Cuz freedom gets you freedom gets you Out of the sky again Out of the sky again Out of the sky again You watch & wait You see no virtue in this gilded age And those that hurt you sleep with their own wage And in this age of martyrs, martyrs for martyrs sake You’re all alone now until the truth it breaks…it breaks Their gonna break you down Their gonna make you try Their gonna say goodbye Cuz freedom gets you freedom gets you Out of the sky again Out of the sky again Out of the sky again You watch & wait Their gonna break you down Out of the sky… Coming at you… You cult fiend, its dragging me I’m coming at you Out of the sky again Out of the sky again Out of the sky again

Dakota 04:34
Here they come creeping west again White devil wanna steal the road With all the gifts that they want to give Right here stands a tall man Hoping to get a hero’s welcome He gets more than what he planned Yellow metal keeps on driving them farther westward, westward Meet the devil with the dirty hand You’ll pay you’ll pay you’ll pay you’ll pay for it you shoot you shoot you shoot you shoot strait and the devil’s got his dues got his dues coming to him Your lighting fires just to watch ‘em burn You drive the knife in when our backs are turned They couldn’t teach you what you wouldn’t learn Right here stands a short man Who’s humble from his neck down When he screams no one hears a sound pay you’ll pay you’ll pay you’ll pay for it and you shoot you shoot you shoot you shoot strait and the devil’s got his dues got his dues coming to him and he’s alive again walk a lie again and he’s alive again cause he’s a lie live a lie cause he’s a lie and you’ll pay you’ll pay you’ll pay you’ll pay for it and you shoot you shoot you shoot you shoot strait and the devil’s got his dues got his dues coming to him you see he’s alive again and he’s alive again and he’s alive again and he’s alive again

Staring at the new day sun I can hardly believe You keep yourself locked up and you can’t even breathe Everybody fell asleep Everybody missed their chance to come along Everybody took a very wrong turn So why am I standing here alone? I know the reason you get so angry with me I live my life like you are the last thing I‘ll see Everybody fell asleep Everybody missed their chance to come along Everybody took a very wrong turn So why am I standing here alone? Don’t look back until ya, get to the end of the road And don’t look back until ya, get to the end of the road Well don’t look back until ya, get to the end of the road Don’t look back until ya, get to the end, get to the end… Well don’t look back until ya, get to the end of the road

Kindly brush those ashes off That fire in the hills will never leave And it’s 120 on the asphalt To damn hot to do most anything She’s so mad about her past she cant even breath curse her money under the bed and curse her broken knees she’s wide awake in this moment does she still believe she’s ruled by love The gas pumps are all closed today And there’s big trouble from the men on TV She always knew this day would come Will she help her brother or turn on everything Living in a can on the flats she thought she’d never leave A gasp for air, another chance to save her company There’s no mistakes in this moment does she still believe She’s ruled by love She’s ruled by love She’s ruled by love Ruled by love

Hello Sinner, the smell of your coat gave you away You’ve come from the court house, where the walls they change your life by the day And I’m so faded in this two bit role in this movie And I’m exhausted but alive enough to watch you on TV Don’t wait till your luck runs out Don’t push don’t feed the urge to go to sleep Don’t wait till your time has come Don’t leave the scene when the truth is still a dream And what if you did this? What if I sleep with the enemy? I must be steady, or we both might crash before you are set free Don’t wait till your luck runs out Don’t push don’t feed the urge to go to sleep Don’t wait till your time has come Don’t leave the scene when the truth is still a dream The truth is still a dream… When all the goodbyes come at the end And when the child in her eyes sees again Don’t wait till your time has come Don’t leave the scene when the truth is still a dream And I’m tied to a stone with no rope And I’m falling strait down with no hope Don’t wait till your time has come Don’t leave the scene when the truth it just a dream Still a dream….
