LATE NIGHT
The distant beat begins again
Calling him away
From the so-crowded room
Something ever beckons him
As he follows a tune
Which he alone can hear
Late Night. Alone.
Out of sync with the beat of joy
He grows closer every day
He grows closer every step
Away
ECHOES
Can you hear me scream?
Will I scream forever? Don't know
Can you feel me burning?
Burn forever... don't know
Can you see these scars?
Feel them forever... don't know
Can you feel the pain?
Hurt forever?
I don't know if this will last forever
I'll keep burning until my heart grows cold
I sing and I scream the feelings inside me
Will I burn it out before I grow old?
'Cause I'll always question them
I'll always think
But will I always burn
Like I'm burning now?
Can you hear me scream
Scream forever in my brain
Echoes forever in my brain
Echoes forever in my brain
Echoes...
THE LONER
As the primal chord is struck
Fire rages in his soul
The demon enters from within
As the rock begins to roll
All his life
The boy had nothing
To meet challenge
He went through hell
Now the torch has killed the dove
The torch has killed the dove
The flames dance in his eyes
Only hate remains for him
The darkness starts to rise
The flames dance brightly in his eyes
His fists become steel
Those who mocked him years before
Will die or they will kneel
All his life he had no love
He didn't have a friend
Somewhere in this bleak terrain
The mind began to bend
The torch has killed the dove...
A demon trapped within all men
Has won the battle here
And those who set the demon free
Now have cause to fear
Gone the days of loneliness
Trapped within his brain
He steps forth into darkness
And remembers all the pain
CLOSER STILL
In the void,
Black emptiness denies all stars
From this heart's mouth
Rivers of pain are flowing
Dark waters
Of a darker current still
As invisible and
Intangible as she
Yet closer still
In the darkness
Melody cries out alone
Seeking harmony that will
Not be found
Empty notes echo back
Answers of silent dischord
In the darkness
In the void
WHICH SIDE AM I
My quest began so long ago
White flames eternal
Internally burn long
Question marks
Branded in so soft a brain
Who am I
And why must life be pain
Searching always for
A truth out of reach
Questions within,
Darkness or light
All or none
All become one
Which side am I
The side you don't see
That is the real me
The many faces of Eve
I am the trinity gone sick
Stream of consciousness gone mad
I am the agony
I am the ecstacy
I am the soul of fire and ice...
Which side am I
NO PAIN, NO GAIN
Getting bigger, tougher, meaner,
Meaner and stronger
And I can't take all this shit
For very much longer
Now I'm getting myself ready for your attack
Getting ready to hurt you back
One sided war - No More!
My mind's getting smarter every day
And my body gets harder - every day
Now my heart's less caring,
Contempt is freed
I'm not afraid to hurt you,
Not afraid to bleed
One sided war - No More!
HELD BACK
I look at you and bite my tongue
I hold back all I want to say
I'm tired of screaming my answers back
When I'm with you - it's just your way
Anger burns in me at you
Nothing more that I can do
Anger burns in me at you
Nothing more that I can do
GRAFITTI
My body's a temple
Pure as the driven snow
'Til the needle pierces flesh,
Enters beneath the skin
It retracts from the skin
And then it punctures again
Rise,
Puncture,
Rise,
Puncture
The needle
It makes me feel so good
No pain from this needle
This needle means happiness
The blood smears my flesh
It's wiped away
So the needle can help me
Each trip lasts forever
In my brain
Scar me needle
Pierce me
I want you with me always
Scar my brain
Until my head is clear
I want you with me always
WOLFPACK
March the streets
30 or 40 strong
United against
A world that's wrong
The numbers shock you
It's the truth
A mini-army
Of angry youth
Wolfpack! Don't give us any shit
Wolfpack! Or you're gonna get hit
Wolfpack! It's a unity ideal
Wolfpack! Better believe it's real
Fucking proud
To be a part of this
Every kid is my brother here
Shoulder to shoulder
Or back to back
We're united
It's the year of the pack!
Wolfpack! Don't give us any shit
Wolfpack! Or you're gonna get hit
Wolfpack! It's a unity ideal
Wolfpack! Better believe it's real
OPEN UP
Punk's dead -
Just the newest trend
Rank on their looks
But at gigs call them friend
It's cool now to put it down
What you were last week
Gets a peer police frown
You used to talk about open minds
Was all that a lie,
Or have you just grown old?
Look like you want
But don't tell me how to live
It's you who says looks don't matter
MORE THAN FASHION
More than X's on my hand
More than being in a straightedge band
I see no good in my mind getting fucked
A needless vacuum, I won't be sucked
Straight Mind
Razor Edge
Firm footing on a social ledge
"A party's no fun if there's no brew"
I can only feel sorry for you
'Cause I've had a blast all my life
Never needed any puke-filled strife
Straight Mind
Razor Edge
Firm footing on a social ledge
It's a way of life that says I don't need
Hangovers, freak-outs or expensive weed
Rather buy a record any day
My mind is here, not far away
Straight Mind
Razor Edge
Firm footing on a social ledge
CIRCLE STORM
The confrontations
Between black and white
Race makes no difference, we must unite
Fight against the social norm
Fuck with one, feel our circle's storm
Fight - Against the social norm
Fight - And feel our circle's storm
Bootboys skinheads all the same
Stress our cause, that's out aim
Our noisy protest will go on
Until the day that we have won
CITY TO CITY
It's begun -
No turning back
City to city
We're fighting back
Haven't changed the world
But we've made a start
We're digging in and fighting smart
And like a plague,
We'll continue to spread
Fight their values until they're dead
We're serious and we won't go away
We fight for a better world - today
Laugh or frown, it's all the same
Won't play by your rules
'Cause we hate your game
(THE GIRL'S GOT) LIMITS
The girl's got limits
But I'm gonna make her mine
The girl's got limits
But it's gonna take time
Gonna gonna get you baby
You know I'm gonna get ya
BROTHERHOOD
Best years of your life
You know it's true
You're like a brother to me
I'm like one to you
We've had some great times
And despite the bad
I know that these years
Are the best that I've ever had
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
True 'til death
Beyond the bullshit politics
Or the gossip on the scene
We're like brothers deep down
Clowning around or thrashing mean
Best years of our life
We know it's true
The Boston Brotherhood
Is me and you
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
True 'til death
YELLOW
So tired of all the lies
Can't see so open your eyes
We talk about everyone else
Let's stop and improve ourselves
Backstab blood flowing free
It's him or her or them or me
Like vultures preying on the dead
Can't leave anything unsaid
Say hi when someone's here
They leave smile turns to sneer
We're free to stab and spit and spout
More pointless shit
No point and no good at all
We're cool 'cause someone else is small
If we've nothing better to do
Then I'm sorry for me and you
STAND PROUD
Reject us now
Drink your drink
Close your mind
Don't have to think
It's not my place
To tell you what's best
But you've changed
Just like the rest
Stand Proud and never give in
Your excuses wear thin
If we fight with a cause
Our lives are no loss
I don't care
If you hate my kind
It was my decision
It was my mind
No one to pressure
I had the choice
United together
Youth with a voice
INSURANCE RISK
I'm 17
But I'm not a legal man
I'm left to puzzle out your adult world
The best way I can
I can't look to you,
A world clawing for security
If I have to be like that
I'll keep my immaturity
You pay more for insurance costs
Minor one day, man the next
A whole new twist in a well-worn text
Buy guns, have sex
It helps cover the shaft
As an added bonus
Look forward to the draft
You pay more for insurance risks
But for now I'm 17
And I salute your mixed up laws
The more I look
The more I laugh at all the flaws
Don't take a chance on me, society
Make sure I can't buy booze
I don't want it anyway
So guess what, guys
You lose
ESCAPE
World get away from me
I want you far away from me
Confusion's gone
Blackness reigns
There's no more hurt
No more pain
Leave me alone
'Cause I don't want to know
Gonna go in my room
Close the door behind
Alone world I'm your loser
But you were wrong and so was I
So is everything
So is everybody
'Cause there's no point in this
No point in the void you call my soul
Dreams turned into nightmares
Dreams are dreams
Crawl into blackness
Come - scream into my mind
