Title
- 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
- sleep with one eye open
- gripping your pillow tight
- exit light
- enter night
- take my hand
- off to never never land
- something's wrong, shut the light
- heavy thoughts tonight
- and they aren't of snow white
- dreams of war, dreams of liars
- dreams of dragon's fire
- and of things that will bite
- sleep with one eye open
- gripping your pillow tight
- exit light
- enter night
- take my hand
- off to never never land
- now I lay me down to sleep
- pray the lord my soul to keep
- if I die before I wake
- 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 beast under your bed,
- in your closet, in your head
- exit light
- enter night
- grain of sand
- exit light
- enter night
- take my hand
- we're off to never never land
- 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
- 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 blamed
- do
- do my work
- do my dirty work, scapegoat
- do
- do my deeds
- for you're the one who's shamed
- I'm your dream, make you real
- I'm your eyes when you must stea
- l 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 here
- hey
- I'm your life
- and I no longer care
- 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 reasoned alibis
- I'm inside open your eyes
- I'm you
- Sad But True
- No more!
- the craps 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 ya 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
- 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 somethig 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
- holier than thou
- you are
- holier than thou
- you are
- you know not
- New blood joins this earth
- and quikly 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 day
- his will they'll take away
- what I've felt
- what I've known
- never shined through in what I've shown
- never be
- never see
- won't see what 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 here is me
- what I've felt
- what I've known
- never shined through in what I've shown
- never be
- never see
- won't see what 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 the unforgiven
- you labeled me
- I'll label you
- so I dub the unforgiven
- ...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
- rover wanderer
- nomad vagabond
- call me what you will
- but I'll take my time anywhere
- free to speak my mind anywhere
- and I'll redefine anywhere
- anywhere I may 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 are severed clean
- the less I have the more I gain
- off the beaten path I reign
- rover wanderer
- nomad vagabond
- call me what you will
- but I'll take my time anywhere
- I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
- and I'll never mind anywhere
- anywhere I may roam
- where I lay my head is home
- but i'll take my time anywhere
- free to speak my mind
- and I'll take my find anywhere
- anywhere I may roam
- where I lay my head is home
- carved upon my stone
- my body lie, but still I roam
- wherever I may roam
- 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
- 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 live it, she with the deadly bite
- quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
- shining with brightness, always on surveillance
- the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
- 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
- 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 on 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
- All that is, was and will be
- universe much too 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
- all that is, ever
- ever was
- will be ever
- twisting
- turning
- through the never
- in the dark, see past our eyes
- pursuit of trhuth 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
- all that is, ever
- ever was
- will be ever
- twisting
- turning
- through the never
- on through the never
- we must go
- on through the never
- out of the
- edge of forever
- we must go
- on through the never
- then ever comes
- all that is, ever
- ever was
- will be ever
- who we are
- ask forever
- twisting
- turning
- through the never
- never
- So close no matter how far
- couldn't be much more from the heart
- forever trusting 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 something new
- open mind for a different view
- and nothing else matters
- 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 trusting who we are
- and nothing else matters
- 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
- trust I seek and I find in you
- every day for us something new
- open mind for a different view
- and nothing else matters
- never cared for what they say
- never cared for games they play
- never cared for what they do
- never cared for what they know
- and I know
- so close no matter how far
- couldn't be much more from the heart
- forever trusting who we are
- no nothing else matters
- 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 thruogh the new day's mist I run
- off from the new day'smist I have come
- we shift
- pulsing with the earth
- company we keep
- roaming the land while you sleep
- 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 high in starlight
- chill is the air cold as steel tonight
- we shift
- call of the wild
- fear in your eyes
- it's later than you realized
- 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 I 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
- 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
- You just stood there screaming
- fearing no one was listening to you
- they say the empty can rattles the most
- the sound of your 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
- 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
- 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 creaming
- my friend of misery
