UNDER THE LIGHTS WHERE WE STAND TALL,
NOBODY TOUCHES US AT ALL,
SHOWDOWN, SHOOTOUT, SPREAD FEAR WITHIN, WITHOUT,
WE'RE GONNA TAKE WHAT'S OURS TO HAVE,
SPREAD THE WORD THROUGHOUT THE LAND,
THEY SAY THE BAD GUYS WEAR BLACK,
WE'RE TAGGED AND CAN'T TURN BACK.
YOU SEE US COMIN',
AND YOU ALL TOGETHER RUN FOR COVER,
WE'RE TAKIN OVER THIS TOWN.
HERE WE COME REACH FOR YOUR GUN,
AND YOU BETTER LISTEN MY FRIEND, YOU SEE,
IT'S BEEN SLOW DOWN BELOW,
AIMED AT YOU WE'RE THE COWBOYS FROM HELL,
DEED IS DONE AGAIN, WE'VE WON,
AIN'T TALKING NO TALL TALES FRIEND,
'CAUSE HIGH NOON, YOUR DOOM,
COMIN' FOR YOU WE'RE THE COWBOYS FROM HELL.
PILLAGE THE VILLAGE, TRASH THE SCENE,
BUT BETTER NOT TAKE IT OUT ON ME,
'CAUSE A GHOST TOWN IS FOUND,
WHERE YOUR CITY USED TO BE,
SO OUT OF THE DARKNESS AND INTO THE LIGHT,
SPARKS FLY EVERYWHERE IN SIGHT,
FROM MY DOUBLE BARREL, 12 GAUGE,
CAN'T LOCK ME IN YOUR CAGE.
YOU SEE US COMIN',
AND YOU ALL TOGETHER RUN FOR COVER,
WE'RE TAKIN OVER THIS TOWN.
HERE WE COME REACH FOR YOUR GUN,
AND YOU BETTER LISTEN MY FRIEND, YOU SEE,
IT'S BEEN SLOW DOWN BELOW,
AIMED AT YOU WE'RE THE COWBOYS FROM HELL,
DEED IS DONE AGAIN, WE'VE WON,
AIN'T TALKING NO TALL TALES FRIEND,
'CAUSE HIGH NOON, YOUR DOOM,
COMIN' FOR YOU WE'RE THE COWBOYS FROM HELL.

MY MIND LAID TO REST,
I'M ON A PSYCHO HOLIDAY.
SHOT DOWN ON SIGHT,
YOU ARE THE TARGET OF ATTENTION,
ONE WOMAN HERE ANOTHER THERE,
YOU CAN'T PLEASE ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME,
CAN'T TELL THE STRANGERS,
FROM THE FRIENDS YOU KNOW,
FRUSTRATION HAS TAKEN IT'S CONTROL.
NOW YOU'RE FAR FROM HOME,
SPENDING TIME ALONE,
IT'S TIME TO SET YOUR DEMONS FREE,

TO LEAVE THIS PLACE,
MY SELF INSANITY HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL,
FRUSTRATION HAS TAKEN ITS CONTROL.

AND MY BELIEF IS STRONGER,
THAN YOUR ADVICE,
PEOPLE, THEY GO TO WAR,
BECAUSE RELIGION GIVES THEM,
REASON TO FIGHT,
SACRIFICE, DIE FOR PRIDE,
A GROUP THAT CATERS,
NO ONE'S FEES,
OR SYNTHETIC DEITIES,
IS WHERE I BELONG,
MY STAND IS THE HUMAN RACE,
WITHOUT A LABEL OR A FACE,
SO THEY CAN LICK MY SACK.
NO MORE JUDGEMENT DAY,
ONLY TRANQUILITY,
PEACE SIGNS, PROTEST LINES,
MEAN NOTHING TO ME.
HONESTY BORN IN ME,

LIKE THE BIRTH OF A ,
NEW-FOUND JOY,
THIS LOVE WOULD END IN RAGE,
AND WHEN SHE DIED,
I COULDN'T CRY,
THE PRIDE WITHIN MY SOUL,
YOU LEFT ME INCOMPLETE,
MEMORIES NOW UNFOLD.
BELIEVE THE WORD,
I WILL UNLOCK MY DOOR,
AND PASS THE ,
CEMETERY GATES.
SOMETIMES WHEN I'M ALONE,
I WONDER ALOUD,
IF YOU'RE WATCHING OVER ME,
SOME PLACE FAR ABOUND,
I MUST REVERSE MY LIFE,
I CAN'T LIVE IN THE PAST,
THEN SET MY SOUL FREE.
BELONG TO ME AT LAST,
THROUGH ALL THOSE,
COMPLEX YEARS,
I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE.
I DIDN'T CARE TO LOOK AROUND,
AND MAKE THIS WORLD MY OWN,
AND WHEN SHE DIED,
I SHOULD'VE CRIED AND SPARED MYSELF SOME PAIN...,
LEFT ME INCOMPLETE,
ALL ALONE AS THE MEMORIES STILL REMAIN.
THE WAY WE WERE,
THE CHANCE TO SAVE MY SOUL,
AND MY CONCERN IS NOW IN VAIN,
BELIEVE THE WORD,
I WILL UNLOCK MY DOOR,
AND PASS THE CEMETERY GATES.

CLASH WITH REALITY ,

WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO.
UNDERSTAND JUST TAKE HIS HAND,
HE'S THE MEDICINE MAN.
ONCE PROUD AND FEARLESS MEN,
WITH DESIRE IN THEIR EYES,
LOST STRONG AND FRUITFUL LIVES,
TO SELF-INDULGENT TIES,
THEIR SOULS WERE DIPPED IN VENOM,
AND PUT INTO A BOX,
THEN PLACED UPON A CROWDED SHELF,
WHERE COUNTLESS SOULS NOW ROT,
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT HELL'S LIKE?
HE CAN TAKE YOU THERE,
JUST ONE TASTE AND YOU'LL BE BACK,
AND BY THE HIGH YOU'LL SWEAR.
INTOXICATION,

THIS QUESTION HAUNTS MY MIND,
WILL WE SURVIVE THIS NIGHT?
WE'RE HARBORING THE MEEK,
WILL WE SURVIVE THE SLEEP?
UNSURE AND SCARED,
WE ARE PLANNING OUR REPRISE,
REVOLVES AROUND THIS WORLD,
WE DON'T KNOW ANYMORE,
THE ODDS AGAINST US,
YET WE'RE STRONGER AND PREVAILING,
LEARN FROM MISTAKES,
COUNTING SOULS FOR SALE.
THIS QUESTION HAUNTS MY MIND,
WILL WE SURVIVE THIS NIGHT?
WE'RE HARBORING THE MEEK,
WILL WE SURVIVE THE SLEEP?
NOW IN TIMES WHEN SOCIETY NEEDS US,
THIS IS WHERE THE SIN BEGINS,
WE'RE AWARE THEY'RE GOING TO FREE US,
RAGE FROM OUR HEARTS WITHIN,
BORN OF THIS WORLD,
WHICH IS A LIVING HELL,
BUT WE'LL BE CLOSER TO HEAVEN.
SO NOW, THIS IS THE ART.
TO SHRED... ITS ONLY EMOTION!
1. COWBOYS FROM HELL
2. PRIMAL CONCRETE SLEDGE
THERE'S A DOUBLE STANDARD FOR THE WAY WE LIVE,
IF THERE'S NOTHING TO HAVE, WELL THEN THERE'S NOTHING, TO SAVE
I'LL BREAK A SWEAT AND I DON'T REGRET,
WHAT YOU'D KILL TO SEE BRINGS OUT THE GOD IN ME.3. PSYCHO HOLIDAY
EMPTY AND SWEATING,
HEAD LYING IN YOUR HANDS,
SHAKING IN THE CORNER,
DONE TOO MUCH ALCOHOL,
GOTTA GET AWAY FROM IT ALL,
'CAUSE IT FEELS MY BLOOD IS FREEZING,
MY SELF INSANITY HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL,
FRUSTRATION HAS TAKEN ITS CONTROL.
4. HERESY
HERE WE ARE ,
IN A WORLD OF CORRUPTION,
HUMAN NATURE IS ,
OF VIOLENT BREED,
WHO CARES IF THERE'S NO TOMORROW,
WHEN I DIE FOR MY FUTURE'S,
LAID OUT FOR ME ,
CAN'T YOU SEE?
RISE ABOVE THE LIES,
MORALS ON A BACKWARDS GLOBE,
A SIN TO YOU ,
FOR ME IT'S HOPE.5. CEMETERY GATES
THE REVEREND HE TURNED TO ME,
WITHOUT A TEAR IN HIS EYES,
IT'S NOTHING NEW FOR HIM TO SEE,
I DIDN'T ASK HIM WHY,
I WILL REMEMBER,
THE LOVE OUR SOULS HAD,
SWORN TO MAKE,
NOW I WATCH THE FALLING RAIN,
ALL MY MIND CAN SEE,
NOW IS YOUR (FACE).6. DOMINATION
AGONY IS THE PRICE,
THAT YOU'LL PAY IN THE END,
DOMINATION CONSUMES YOU,
THEN CALLS YOU A FRIEND,
IT'S A TWISTED FALL,
BINDS ARE LIKE STEEL,
AND MANIPULATES THE WILL TO BE,
AND IT'S HARD TO SEE,
HOW SOON WE FORGET,
WHEN THERE'S NOTHING ELSE,
LEFT TO DESTROY,
IT'S A USELESS PLOY.7. SHATTERED
IT'S STORMING BROKEN GLASS, CORPSES LEFT IN PILES
UNGRACIOUS BLUDGEONMENT THAT BREAKS THE EARTH FOR MILES,
NOTHING CAN STOP IT, THE DAY HAS COME, FROM BELOW IT'S CATASTROPHIC.8. CLASH WITH REALITY
SOMETIMES I KNOW,
I FEEL UNTOUCHABLE,
DROWNING IN LIFE,
CAUGHT UP IN THE ACCESSIBLE,
BACK DOWN THE GROUND,
I HEAR THE SOUND,
THERE'S NO ESCAPE,
THE CONCRETE CLOUD,
SPILLING ON ME,
DRENCHING ME WITH,
LAYMEN'S SINS,
I HEAR THE SIRENS,
FROM THE BACK OF ME,
I'M CRASHING FACE FIRST,
INTO THE GLASS EYE.9. MEDICINE MAN
MANY DISTANT MILES AWAY,
PAST THE SHORES OF EVER DARK,
THERE STAYS A MAGIC MAN,
WHO BEARS AN EVIL MARK,
HE HELPS ALL CONCERNED,
THOSE WHO COME AGAIN RETURN,
INJECTING LIES WHILE FIRES BURN,
THE DEVIL'S HEART,
WITH ANGEL'S WORDS,
HAVE YOU WONDERED ,
WHAT HEAVEN'S LIKE?
HE CAN SHOW YOU IN ONE NIGHT,
OVERWHELMING WITH EUPHORIC LIFT,
TO LURE YOU TO STEAL YOUR GIFT.10. MESSAGE IN BLOOD
THERE'S A PLACE THAT I KEEP DEEP INSIDE ME,
IT CAN TRIGGER MY MIND,
ALL ALONG I KNEW IT HAS BEEN WITH ME,
SINCE I WAS JUST A CHILD.11. THE SLEEP
UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAS,
HAPPENED BEFORE US,
WE ARE CONFINED TO A ,
DARKENED HIDDEN TOMB,
THE CONQUERING OF OUR WORLD,
AS WE KNEW IT,
RISE ABOVE THIS PIT,
OF SORROW AND PAIN,
AMONG THE FEW,
WE ARE THE AVANT LEADERS,
WE'VE GOT TO LIVE,
THROUGH THIS TROUBLE AND DECAY.
12. THE ART OF SHREDDING
UNITY IS A RARE THING,
BLIND EYES OF SOCIETY BRING,
THE CATEGORY OF MINORITY,
NOW WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE?
BORN FREE TO BE,
POWERLESS TO CHANGE THE WORLD,
WITH OUR LIVES IN THE HANDS OF MADMEN.
