Rock 'N' Roll Rebel 
They couldn't see what i thought would be so obvious
they hide behind the laws they make for all of us.
the ministry of truth at deals with pretense
the ministry of peace that sits on defense
i'm washing my hands of what they're tryin' to do
i'm breaking the rules and its for me and for you. 

i'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
i'll tell you no lies
they think i workship the devil
they only see through his eyes
i'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel.

they live their lives in fear and insecurity
and all you do is pay for their prosperity
the ministry of fear that won't let you live
the ministry of grace that doesn't forgive
do what you will to try and make me conform
but i'll make you wish that you had never been born
cause i'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
i'll do as i please
i'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
i'm a free as the breeze
i'm a just rock 'n' roll rebel

they'll try playin with your heart
they know it rules your head
they only feel what bigotry feels
they won't fool me again (oh no) (solo)

god only knows why they couldn't see that obvious
is it because they manifest the incubus
the ministry of war that got caught in the draught
the ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed
when its all boild down and the days at the end
i'll give you no bullshit and i'll never pretend
cause i'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
i'll tell you no lies
they say i workship the devil
why don't they open their eyes...i'm just etc.


Bark At The Moon 
Screams break the silence
waking from the dead of night
vecence is boiling
he's returned to kill the light
then when he's found who he's looking for
listen in awe and you'll hear him

bark at the moon

years spent in torment
buried in a nameless grave
now he has risen
miracles would have to save
those thast this beast is looking for
listen in awe and you'll hear him

bark at the moon

they cursed and buried him along with shame
and thought his timeless soul had gone
in empty burning hell - unholy one
but now he's returned to prove them wrong (oh no)
howling in shadows
living in a lunar spell
he finds his heaven
spewing from the mouth of hell

and when he finds who he's looking for
listen in awe and you'll hear him
bark at the moon.


You're No Different 
How many times can you put me down
till your heart you realize
if you choose to criticize
you choose your enemies

everything that i say and do
in your eyes is always wrong
tell me where do i belong
in a sick society

you're no diffrent to me
you're no diffrent
no diffrent to me

look at yourself instead o' looking at me
with accusation in your eyes
do you want me crucified
for my profanity

concealing your crimes behind a grandeur of lies
tell me where do i begin
if you think you're without sin
be the first to cast the stone

living my life in a way that i choose
you say i should apologize
is that envy in your eyes
reflecting jealousy
tell me the truth and i'll admit to my guilt
if you'll try to understand
but is that blood that's on your hand
from your democracy


Now You See It (Now You Don't) 
Overbearing woman makin' it so hard for me
now you've laid it down for all to see
can i ask a question, d'ya think you can take a blow
this is why i always come and go.

now you see it, now you don't
careful of words that get caught in your throat
face the music. take it like a man
givin' it to me anyway you can

everybody's feeling everything you've got to feel
i've got something that you can conceal

now you see it
now you don't
now you see it
now you don't

give me central heating hope that i can pay the bill
makin me forget my fear of hell
must be luck in odd numbers now you face me upside down
i'm so far up i'm afraid to come back down


Forever Or Centre Of Eternity 
There's no present there's no future
i don't even know about the past
it's all timeless and never ending
to take it in it's all too vast

it goes - forever and ever
you thought you knew but you never
there goes tommorow

journey to the centre of eternity
journey to the centre of eternity

the time is coming but also going
and it's leaving never to return
maybe forever it could be heaven
but if it's hell then you can watch me burn

it goes - forever and ever
you thought you knew but you never
there goes tommorow

i got to travel forever
it's all within my mind
an endless path to endeavour
but forever is a long long time

there's no secrets and no corruption
in the centre of infinity
there's no limits in non-existence
and no begining to my destiny

it goes - forever and ever
you thought you knew but you never
there goes tommorow

journey to the centre of eternity
journey to the centre of eternity


So Tired 
Time has come to say goodbye
i know it's gonna make you cry
but you belong to another my love
and half a love that just isn't enough

i am so tired
and i just can't wait around for you
i am so tried
and i always thought we would see it through

i've waited all this time for you
believed your promises were true
i keep believing that you mean what you say
you'll leave tommorow - now tommorow's today

and i often sit and wonder why
you're not with me tonight
i stayed at home remaining true
while you were out with you know who

i am so tired
and i just can't wait around for you
i am so tried
and i always thought we would see it through


Waiting For Darkness 
Waiting for darkness
doesn't anybody see
deafened by silence
doesn't anybody hear.
(i'm waiting darkness)

playing with fire
but they're screaming
when they're burned out of the sunlight
hasn't anybody learned
i know what they find
is in their mind
its what they want to see
spare me from the light
here comes the light
and here i'll stay
waiting for darkness

promise me rebirth
and then you tear me from the womb
give me my freedom
and then you lock me in a tomb

i'm waiting for darkness
you gotta believe, you gotta believe its true
i'm waiting for darkness
i just can't concieve why darkness is overdue.

who knows the answers
is it friend or is it foe
don't ask me questions
there are things you shouldn't know


Spiders 
Spiders in the night
creeping round the walls
now you'll feel him crawing over you

creepy crawly things
filling up your bed
soon you'll feel him crawing through your brain

you think he's there
beware his bite
but when you look
the spiders not in sight

spiders reappear
taking peoples names
everything is taken down in sane

there's no way out
and there's no key
but here's a clue
the spider's really me

you're written in his book
the spiders won't forget
you won't forget the spiders in the night

you think he's gone
you think he's dead
there's no escape
the spiders in your head


Slow Down 
I'll never bother keeping up with you
burning the candle at both ends it true
you know the writing's on the wall
why do you ride to take a fall

(chorus) 
slow down you're moving way too fast
(your feet don't ever touch the ground)
slow down you know you'll never last
(you're seeking that which can't be found)
slow down,your haste is making waste
(your feet don't ever touch the ground)
slow down and join the human race
(you're seeking that which can't be found)

i tried to tell you time and time again
you know you'll have to pay the consequence
now you're obsessed with such a pace
now slow and steady wins the race

(chorus)

you seem to run around and round in vain
people are saying that yo've gone insane
tell me just what you're running from
one day you're here the next you're gone

(chorus)
