beneath
The cloak of decency that hides
All that I need on which I feed
Better give me

Hardcore
And so the urge returns again
Hardcore
The only thing to ease the pain

Lipsmacking magazine when you're younger
Hidden in my desk at school
Big appetite increases the hunger
Now I need it more and more

Gimme little something to take until daybreak
Or I will go insane
It's building in me, need relief
You better give me

Hardcore
Speak to me of things I like
Hardcore
Nothing less will satisfy

Ooh, they lie to me
So it's time to be on my way
Speak of love but say
We are way ahead of this place

So, so, so frustrated
Never naked, never betrayed
So, so, so frustrated
Never naked, never betrayed

Take it to the limit, I admit it, you know
Yes, I couldn't give a damn
Oh, is it any wonder that I hunger?
Just can't give me

Hardcore
Seeping back into my brain
Hardcore
The only thing to ease my pain

Hardcore
Get it while you can, experience it every day
Hardcore
You want it bad, you better pay

Fax phone line, just wanna flick through
Anytime cataloguing while I kinda change
I'm gonna order mine this time and I'm gonna watch you
Viewing behind a mirror, looking I'm out there, do it!

Hardcore
Feel the need to return again
Hardcore
Nothing less will ease my pain

Hardcore
Hardcore



Paint it black

(Jagger/Richards)

I see a red door
And I want to paint it black
No colours anymore
I want them to turn black

I see a line of cars
And they are painted black
They pass me by with one
Who's never coming back

I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see a red door
And I have to have it black

Maybe I'll fade away
And not have to face the fact
That it's not easy
When your whole world's turning black

Paint it black
My world's black

If we look hard enough
Into the setting sun
These things will last with me
Before the morning comes

I see them walking by
All dressed up in their clothes
I have to turn away
Until my blackness goes

Paint it black
My world's black
Paint it black
It's all black



Enter the storm

(Tipton)

Enter the storm
You probably won't survive
But if you do
You'll be much stronger 'cause you tried

The mighty fall
A world gone mad beneath it all
Nothing to lose
Step through and watch all hell break loose

Rip away the rotten wood
You've been reborn
End the lies and face the truth

The blackness comes
The risk no greater than the gain
But if you stay
Your soul evaporates away

Cyclonic winds
Will blow away the sins you've gained
A tidal wave
Can take you where you've never been

Clear the haze inside your brain
You've been reborn
End it all and start again

Gonna lie in wait
For a hurricane
And for sure when I'm inside
I'll shed my skin

Don't assume, you are doomed
In the stratosphere
Only way to escape
And get out of here

If you should see the devil there
Wondering where I've gone
Tell him I stepped into the storm
Tell him I've been reborn

If you should see the devil there
Wondering where I've gone
Tell him I stepped into the storm
Tell him I've been reborn

Enter the storm
You probably won't survive
But if you do
You'll be much stronger 'cause you tried

As your life disintegrates
You've been reborn
When confusion blows your brain

Enter the storm

End the lies and end the pain
You've been reborn
End it all and start again

If you should see the devil there
Wondering where I've gone
Tell him I stepped into the storm
Tell him I've been reborn



Fuel me up

(Tipton)

Don't pass me by without a drop
Just step across and fill my cup
Gimme more, it's not enough
Rejuvenate me, fuel me up

Running drier every day
Low on gas, high on octane
See the needle running hot
Once you start it's hard to stop

Galvanise me to the spot
Immunise me with everything you've got

Don't pass me by and never stop
Step across and fill my cup
Gimme more, it's not enough
Rejuvenate me, fuel me up

Are you big enough to take it?
'Cause now you'll pay

Pick me up if I fall
I just need some more fuel
Don't you understand?
My need creates demand

Running drier every day
Low on gas, high on octane
See the needle running hot
Once you start it's hard to stop

Galvanise me to the spot
Better give me everything you've got

Don't pass me by without a drop
Just step across and fill my cup
Gimme more, it's not enough
Rejuvenate me, fuel me up

Don't preach to me, I won't O.D.
You talk too much, shut the fuck up!
And fuel me up, I never stop
I wouldn't last, I'd never rock



Extinct

(Tipton)

I am alive, not on the brink
But people think I am extinct
Don't write me off or even think
I don't exist, I'm not extinct

I stand alone in many ways
Evolving from a different race
I have a name, I have a face
And I'm still breathing

Endangered species are it's said
A little rare, I'm not dead yet
Don't strike me off your list just yet
'Cause I'm still breeding

Gone but not for good and you bet
I'll resurrect again

I am alive, not on the brink
But people think I am extinct
Don't write me off or even think
I don't exist, I'm not extinct

One of a kind but I am not
Just a statistic in your book
There may be just a few of us
But I'm still living

Invisible to many eyes
It may then come as some surprise
Reenergised I will arise
Hey, I'm not finished!

Gone but not for good and you bet
I'll resurrect again

I am alive, not on the brink
But people think I am extinct
Don't write me off or even think
I don't exist, I'm not extinct

I won't fade away, I'm staying
I refuse to be endangered
I'll protect my reputation
That of living, not forgetting

I am indestructible
I'm made like you, of flesh and blood
I'm not a fossil etched in stone
I am alive, I'm not alone

Prehistoric I never was
I'm made like you, of flesh and blood
Unlike the dinosaur
I'm not about to perish

I walk this earth alongside God
I asked: Man, am I done?
He looked at me, He said: Live on!
You won't get damaged

I am alive, not on the brink
But people think I am extinct
Don't write me off or even think
I don't exist, I'm not extinct

I am alive, not on the brink
But people think I am extinct
Don't write me off or even think
I don't exist, I'm not extinct



Baptism of fire

(Tipton)

"So you've come of age?
And so you want to meet God?
Sure you can!
He's right here next to me"



The healer

(Tipton)

It depends on your point of view
I'm a healer, I can heal you
If you're skeptical no can do
If you're a believer, I can heal you

Run out of remedies as others do
Then come to me, I will heal you
I'll take your pain away
Then give to you a new beginning, if you want me to

Stand in line
Tell me what's wrong
I'll give you faith
And I'll make you strong

Come here close to me
Feel my energy
Put your trust in me
I can heal you

Look at me
And you'll begin
To recognise reality
Sickness lives only in your mind

Look at me
Give yourself completely
Look at me, trust in me
Look at me, I can heal you

Save me
I can hear you say
Heal me
Take my pain away

Stand in line
Tell me what's wrong
Give me strength
And I'll turn the heat on

Come here close to me
And feel my energy
Put your trust in me
I can heal

Come up close to me
Feel my energy
Put your trust in me
I can heal you

Come up close to me
Feel the power in me
Believe me
I'll heal you

Come up close to me
Change your destiny
Trust me
I'll heal you



Cruise control

(Tipton)

Sinking deeper every day
I don't care, I don't care
Seems to me it's time to taste
Some different air and get outta here

Caught up in the routines
Really nothing much to lose
So risk it all and just cut loose

Put your life in cruise control
Set your course and let it go
And you might find a better way

Tomorrow's looking pretty grey
Say a prayer 'cause I've been there
Just about as welcome as acid rain
Do you dare? Get outta there

Never take a look back
Never say that it's too late
Pull the plug on yesterday

Put yourself in cruise control
Set your course and let it go
And you might just find a better way

Never take a look back
Never say that it's too late
Step on the gas, accelerate!



Kill or be killed

(Tipton)

The pacifist won't last
His view means nothing
Take off your safety catch
Earn your blood money

Shoot first, don't hesitate
If they lie you lose, too late
No monument to grace you
As you leave this place

No! Don't be fooled by
All those codes you've lived by

The mercenary will act
The suckers stand and take it
Initiate attack
Or one time you'll never make it

Always assume the worst
You fight or bite the dirt
Who needs a good excuse?
Just stick it where it hurts

Dog eat dog, don't forget it
Or you'll live to regret it

Kill or be killed
Live or die
Kill or be killed
Don't think twice

I ride the wall of death
I've never fallen yet
No need to risk my neck
Just second guess with every step

So don't be fooled by
All those codes you've lived by

Kill or be killed
Live or die
Kill or be killed
Don't think twice

Kill or be killed
Live or die
Kill or be killed
Take my advice



Voodoo brother

(Tipton)

You can hear the thunder in the sky
I can see the fire in your eyes
Don't you even think that you can hide?
You're the same flesh and blood as I

Damn the very day that we were born
In the centre of electric storms
We will never see the light of sun
Cursed forever by the hand of God

Fear is the only friend of mine
Excuse me while I step out of the light
We will only see the dead of night

I'm a voodoo brother
You're the next in line
Got a voodoo mother
Just the same as mine

Gonna live forever
But your soul is lost like mine on the day we die

Voodoo brother
Voodoo mother

Damn the very day that we were born
In the centre of electric storms

Fear is the only friend of mine
Excuse me while I step out of the light
We will only see the dead of night

I'm a voodoo brother
You're the next in line
Got a voodoo mother
Just the same as mine

Gonna live forever
But your soul is lost like mine on the day we die

Stepped into volcanic rage
Spoke to voices from another age
Walked across atomic plains
Never to return this way again

I'm a voodoo brother
You're the next in line
Got a voodoo mother
Just the same as mine

Gonna live forever
But your soul is lost like mine on the day we die

I'm a voodoo brother
Got a voodoo mother

I'm a voodoo brother
You're the next in line
Got a voodoo mother
Just the same as mine

I'm a voodoo brother
Got a voodoo mother



Left for dead

(Tipton)

You can live your life of ease
If you obey the hierarchy
I never could see, I never knew why
I shouldn't stand and speak my mind

You keep your mouth shut and you're okay
You get to live through one more day
But I had to say this and I had to say that
And they stuck a knife right in my back

They closed the lid to bury me
But while there's still a breath of life in me

Left me for dead
But there's no way that I
Will ever give in
I will survive

Traitors prosper, rebels die
And then they say: He was no friend of mine
Oh, I never say no when I wanna say yes
I never go along and vote for the obvious

Just because of my point of view
My expiry date's long overdue
Oh, you never can tell what's going on in their minds
They write your death warrant but return your smile

While there's still a breath in me
I will not lie down, they won't get me

Left me for dead
There's no way that I
Will ever give in
I will survive

I will survive!

While there's still a breath in me
I won't lie down, they won't get me

Left me for dead
There's no way that I
Will ever give in
I will survive

While there's still a breath in me
I won't lie down, they won't get me

Left me for dead
There's no way that I
Will ever give in
I will survive
