RogerI'm not that kind of guyI do not do that kind of thing anymoreWe live in an extraordinary worldI'll build my wall for you toKnock it downI live in a contagious lifeIfyou ever stop to think about itI t will get to your mindEveryoneEveryoneIs knocked down from this kind of griefI'm almost to the end of my fantasy lifeI'm not that kind of dreamerThat can dream this pain awayThink about me when I'm gone

WarI am a shado~ warriorI just got in from the warI am sitting at my table having my drinkThe war has just thundered aroundYou stepped in with your smiling faceI forgot what I am fighting forYou started dancing the shadow danceYou sing the same old songShadow warriors come

and take my heart awayYou stepped into my warYou started changing your styleBaby, I can never walk away from this dreamAnd I can't leave you behindI guess you are one of us

EvilI see you with me againI pour you out into this worldRally on down the mountainas the fat lady sings.I am just badI am just bad and evil as you\Vatch me turn overWatch me die into your memoryEvi Ihas a bad edgeJust as you

FeelingsMy feelings travel in your painBecoming a godBeing the things that you likeShowing you how fantasies existTelling you the telling that you want to hearTaking you mind and soulRipping your mind and soulThe tears wet the bed that you lie inAs your heart is crushedYour feeling is crushedI may become bad for your health

Ican seeIn your enchanted dreamDeep in your dreamYou dream so innocentlyI can see you more clearly nowI can feel you coming back againRising like an eagleRunning freeLeaving your dreams behindBecoming your own textureNot wanting to become a godThe lies wrap around youTelling the things that you want to hear

The devil of dogsI am doomed like the devil of dogsSurrounding darkness of terrorTerror runs through the dog's salivaBut I am not the only oneSee the dogs are not controllableTake a mortalman and turn him into a dogWatch as he kills the innocent insideCorrupt your body and minddogs run in the open airleaving the broken bones and bodies behindDying for a causeAnd not dying for a causeWe call that rootlessnessDying and turning to angel, not returningTo doom stone.We are all angels but we can't see it

The World Is A Vampire

Running out of the worldRunning back in your lifeI am sinning for every bodyCome down to my door and roarEvery body got a way outEvery day I knock on my drumfar from every bodyI guess I am betterI guess every body got to rockYou can smell the beat from my drumsEvery body started grooving .Suddenly a magic spell was castAs I beat the last of it .

Big SpookyI see myself driving to nowhereLying on the road with my memory behind meAs I pass you byMy memory always haunts meI'm looking into the mirrorI look cold and spookyI'm driving faster to cool the painStepping into my new fantasyIt's still wild and crazyTime to go under these wavesThere's a whole new universeI come back up still learningTwo wheels on the roadI'm still big bad and spookyI pull right up beside youYou look all broken upI look in your faceYou look all @#$$# up

The LizardYou are like a lizardLost in the desertLike a scavengerFeasting on a dead animalEating its broken bodyTasting the bloodSucking the marrow of its broken bonesDo not cast your bloodshot eyes on me

DeepDeep into my skinI adore your pain and pleasureI am bored by their rulesI am a prisoner of my own griffmI go the way I pleaseI am a loner just like youWe breathe the same wayWe share the same worldI am mine to keepI am clicking down on the last stop

The JudgmentStanding in the placethat you killedNow look over your shoulderYou, my friend look what you have done.Nevermore shall you take a soulPeople have run against youMy friend within your soulA river lies deepYou have damned the river of your soulYour eyes are closed behind the doors of hellYou have blood on your handsYour life is like an ancient cursedry as dustI have set before the life and death,good and evilAnd you chose evil.

"Ode" to things.My frame is falling apartEvery thing is chaosDesperateWanted to believe in thingsBut they sterilized my memoryThey complicated meI don't want thatI don't want thatI don't #@$%"#$ want thatI am now tied in chainsThe old memory haunts meI am down on my one last breathI will bust these rusty chainsI do not careI do not careI do not #@$#%$# careI give a final stand

I Want To Go For A RideI want to go for a rideDown your stream.Iwant to ride your loveLike a loaded gun.Iwant to ride your car.I'll drive you down.JIll drive you up.I am going fast as I can.Let me tell you what we are trying to do.My energy is running outMy energy is running outMy energy is running outYou can't stop this feeling.Help me I am running out of time.I guess I am already dead.I guessI guess you can't get inside of me
