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

       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

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

       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 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 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

Holier than Thou

    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

The Unforgiven

    New blood joins this earth
    and quikly he's subdued
    through constant pain 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

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
       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

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

    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

Through the Never

    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

Nothing Else Matters

    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

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 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

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

       it feeds
       it grows
       it clouds all that you will know
       deceit
       deceive
       decide just what you believe

         I see faith in your eyes
         never your hear the discouraging lies
         I hear faith in your cries
         broken is the promise, betrayal
         the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

         follow the god that failed

    find your peace
    find your say
    find the smooth road in your way

    trust you gave
    a child to save
    left you cold and him in grave

       it feeds
       it grows
       it clouds all that you will know
       deceit
       deceive
       decide just what you believe

         I see faith in your eyes
         never you hear the discouraging lies
         I hear faith in your cries
         broken is the promise, betrayal
         the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

         follow the god that failed

         I see faith in your eyes
         broken is the promise, betrayal
         the healing hand held back by the deepened 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

         I see faith in your eyes
         never you hear the discouraging lies
         I hear faith in your cries
         broken is the promise, betrayal
         the healing hand held back by deepened nail

         follow the god that failed

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 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

12. 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 of showing your gratitude
    so many things you don't want to do
    what is it? what have you got ot lose

    what the hell
    what is you think you're gonna find?
    hypocrite
    boredom sets into the boring mind

        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 a 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 tou've got to feel
    closing in
    the pressure upon you is so real

        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
    what the hell

    what is you think you're gonna find
    hypocrite
    boredom sets into the boring mind

        struggle within   it suits you fine
        struggle within   your ruin
        struggle within   you seal your own coffin
        struggle within   the struggling within
