"Addicted"

Featuring Corey Taylor
 
Brother I am begging you,
Please don’t let this life destroy you,
You spent so much time hiding inside,
Cutting out the hurt with a knife,

I can only watch you fall,
And throw my heart against your walls,
Why do you enjoy your pain,
Sister we are one in the same,

Don’t give up Just hold on,
Give it time, it wont be long,
I’m here to open up your eyes
Don’t leave this part of us behind
Don’t give up, just hold on

I see the hard times on your face
If you’d hear my cries
You’d change your ways
Blood is like a trip through the past,
I know you’re on your own and fading fast
I’m with you

Don’t give up Just hold on,
Give it time, it wont be long,
I’m here to open up your eyes
Don’t leave this part of us behind
Don’t give up, just hold on

It kills me that I couldn’t see,
That someone I loved needed me,
You are a part of who I am,
I will fight this fight with you till the end.

Don’t give up, just hold on,
Give it time, it wont be long,
I’m here to open up your eyes
Don’t leave this part of us behind

Don’t give up, just hold on
Don’t give up, just hold on
Give it time, it wont be long,
I’m here to open up your eyes
Don’t leave this part of us behind

Don’t give up, just hold on
Don’t give up, just hold on
Don’t give up, just hold on

With everything you have inside you
This world can't hold us back forever!

Tonight is ours

Tonight is ours
Now and forever
Tonight is ours

"II. The Prey"
 
You left us there to die
One fateful day
To rot beneath the stones
our flesh and blood prevail

I won't forget that day
Took it all as our carnage gave you life
Every day we cry from beyond
For we just won't let you go
Let you go!

Gore will tell our story
Validate your end, validate your end
You'll get what you deserve
Suffer for our glory

I won't forget that day [4x]
All that's left is hate

You will pay for that day
You ripped us from the earth
and at the hands of fate
We will get what's owed

I'll never forget

I won't forget [5x]
All that's left is hate

"The American Dream"
 
Fuck the American Dream.
I know it all too well, I've watched my whole life.
I've felt those callused hands and looked into those broken eyes.
One more bleeding heart that will never see its time.
You suffer to survive, it will bury you alive.

Fuck this place, burn it down. Everything I've loved is gone.
This is not my home, I've played my final song.
Tear us down, free us all.

Sell your soul for something meaningless.
A slow death for the corporate mess, and we call this happiness.
What are we left with in the end? Defeat.
A lifetime of obedience kicking in your teeth.

Fuck this place, burn it down. Everything I've loved is gone.
This is not my home, I've played my final song.
Tear us down, free us all.

We were sold a promise of a better tomorrow,
Fuck the American Dream.
We were told that our choices were our own,
Fuck the American Dream.
Promised the opportunity of a lifetime,
Fuck the American Dream.
Deceived we could be all we can be.
Fuck the American Dream.

"Feeding Frenzy"
 
There is not a thing, you're infect the worst, whats this sometimes,
You get nothing in return, you're not freedom, freedom, for us,
The regrets one, betrayed, by you whats that, the world forever gone.

For spreading all you're lies, but it wont work this time
(no not this time) forgiveness
means nothing to me, nothing to me, Nothing, my judgment day
We'll cut you free, cut you free, cut you.

Sincerity, force fed by pride,
For signs with open eyes
Champions just arrived,
you're not freedom, freedom, for us,
The regrets one, betrayed, by you whats that, the world forever gone.

every word you said you lied, but it wont work this time
(no not this time) forgiveness
means nothing to me, nothing to me, Nothing, my judgment day
We'll cut you free, cut you free, cut you
my purity, I hate what you've made out of me
Forgiveness
Means nothing to me, nothing to me, Nothing.

Force fed me all your lies, everything you sad you've lied,
it's time to say good bye.
...'cause it wont work this time!
forgiveness
means nothing to me, nothing to me, Nothing
my judgment day
We'll cut you free, cut you free, cut you
my purity, I hate what you've made out of me
Forgiveness
Means nothing to me, nothing to me, Nothing.
means nothing to me, nothing to me, Nothing.
My judgment day.
I hate what you've made out of me

"I. The Hunter"
 
I AM a monster inside a man,
the outer shell is my better half
Methods of madness have no end
When you hunt the dead
And urge, strong urge, I can't resist
And they will only set me free to run again

I am a wolf, a killer, alone I stand
All you see is my mask of sanity
A true mystery
The wolf will strike again, strike again

MY DREAMS will prey on you
I promise this will set you free
Close your eyes wait for it, wait for it
The warm crimson freedom will wash you clean
Your body will rot beneath the concrete

I am a wolf, a killer, alone I stand
All you see is my mask of sanity
A true mystery
The wolf will strike again, strike again
The wolf will strike again

I am a wolf! I am a killer! Alone I stand!
The wolf will strike again, strike again

I am a wolf, a killer, alone I stand
All you see is my mask of sanity
A true mystery
The wolf will strike again, strike again

"Famous Last Words"
 
This army of inspiration
We came for our revenge, our revenge
We'll raise the flag of discontent
We know who we are and where we stand

I know words can't change the world
but they can have an impact on life, impact on life
Through some words that someone else wrote
I found hope, and hope is all we have!

Why sing another empty anthem?
When you know this world needs direction

Hope is all we have!

Why sing another empty anthem?
When you know this world needs direction

The hollow words you say,
We both know they mean nothing.

We know, we know, that your heart is hollow
We know, we know, that your words are shallow
We know, we know, that your heart is hollow
We know, we know, that your words are shallow,
but those words are all we have

"A Long Walk Home"
 
From day one, you were my everything
You made me understand
That love and loss go hand in hand
Instilled in me a sense of loyalty
A trust that could never be undone

Redemption, is what I seek.
Redemption, guilt gets the best of me
Of me!

There's no better time than now to say I'm sorry
I should have never walked away
Now my heart bleeds One more tortured song
That I sing until my dying day.

Redemption, is what I seek
Redemption, guilt gets the best of me
Gets the best of me, gets the best of me!

I'm not the only one who can change
The hate you took to your grave
I'm not the only one to blame
For the pain you took to your grave

Redemption, is what I seek
Redemption, guilt gets the best of me
Gets the best of me, gets the best of me!
Redemption, gets the best of me
Redemption, gets the best of me

"III. Shock Of The Century"
 
"Lock the door, a killer is loose
Head count is 3.
A terrifying reality that won't end.
It's the shock of the century.

Blueprint of hate,
Blueprint of death.
Evidence will soon unfold.

Stateside road A1A.
Searching.
Another trail left cold.
Searching.
Body still not found.
Searching.
Discovery too unreal.

News is in.
Only bones remain.
Horror.
One after another.
Horror.
The gruesome three are found.
Horror.
Decaying bodies lay.

Report is in.
The wolf has struck again.
This is the work of a madman.
The true face of evil.
This is the work of a madman.
The true face of death.

Your time is up,
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
The noose is set for your demise.

We must.
Convict at any cost.
We must.
Lay them to rest.
We must.
Grant the request.
The end will justify the means.

Terror.
A mother cries out.
Terror.
A turn for the worse.
Terror.
A nation shocked by fear.
You turned him loose to kill again.

This is the work of a madman.
The true face of evil.
This is the work of a madman.
The true face of death."
