On the open road Gotta’ do what I do Always too far I’m away from you Sit by the fire And warm my bones No more fighting Dragged down by stone Little black horse And big bright moon Riding real slow But coming home soon Open the clutch And pull the reins Little black horse Without a name Galloping on Gripping the wheel Homeward bound Carried by steel The road is long But the ride is smooth Town to town Ever passing through No matter how far No matter what I do Always a slow ride Coming back to you Little black horse And big bright moon Riding real slow But coming home soon Open the clutch And pull the reins Little black horse Without a name Galloping on Gripping the wheel Homeward bound Carried by steel

Dollar $ign 03:06
Your dollar sign delusions All the lies you buy Money won’t buy you happiness That’s how you waste your time Spend your life in chains for checks And still you pay and pay In the night thieves come for you And steal it all away It takes what it can get There’s more to life than this You’re bought and then you’re sold Now you’re in Mammon’s hold Dollar signs are in your eyes Is nothing in your head? Don’t know what your counting on Can’t spend it when you’re dead Dollar signs are in your eyes Like cattle born and bred Work my friend ‘til your last breath Can’t spend it when you’re dead Your coins they have no passion They ring a hollow sound Count them up, place your bets And pass the buck around Gotta’ have it, never keep it Your pocket burns a hole Weekend, week out warrior The paycheck takes control It takes what it can get There’s more to life than this You’re bought and then you’re sold Now you’re in Mammon’s hold Dollar signs are in your eyes Is nothing in your head? Don’t know what your counting on Can’t spend it when you’re dead Dollar signs are in your eyes Like cattle born and bred Work my friend ‘til your last breath Can’t spend it when you’re dead

Born into innocence crawl, walk, and run Happy child becomes Powered by the sun You have the answer You made a plan I bet your feeling more like a man You see their faces On down the halls Turning their heads You’ll show them all You feel secure From the steel in your hand Protection or carnage In your homeland Off to school you go Pray you never grow You can try hide You can try to run Looking right at the wrong end of the gun This is the moment Will you turn away? Your last chance To meet your fate You hear the crack You feel the growl And listen to the silence so loud Strength is weakness Passion is pain So much is lost But the hurt remains You look down See the blood on your hands For what purpose? What have you gained? Off to school you go Pray you never grow You can try hide You can try to run Looking right at the wrong end of the gun

She gives you kisses and hugs And everything’s so nice Then she takes your heart And puts the thing on ice You went and fell in love You thought you were so sure That it would last forever Now it’s nevermore Is this the price of love? This and nothing more? What we found was lost You know it’s nevermore When you’ve given it all Body, mind and heart And time passes by We lie in world’s apart You went and fell in love You thought you were so sure That it would last forever Now it’s nevermore Is this the price of love? This and nothing more? What we found was lost You know it’s nevermore What is left of us? A shadow on the floor A broken memory You know it’s nevermore

Fun Ride 02:47
Better get out of my way Don’t need you in my face I’m gonna cut to the chase I don’t really care what you have to say You say I drive the wrong car Well I’m too drunk to drive You say I’m living too fast I do what I do to feel alive I don’t care what they say Just get out of my way You try to classy me? This is what it looks like when your mind is set free Stuck on what others feel? That’s your Achilles Heel I can guarantee This is what it looks like when your mind is set free You say I got the wrong clothes Well I don’t really care You say I look so strange All because of how I wear my hair That might have mattered to me If I had cared what you thought You try to put me down At least I know that I cannot be bought I don’t care what they say Just get out of my way You try to classy me? This is what it looks like when your mind is set free Stuck on what others feel? That’s your Achilles Heel I can guarantee This is what it looks like when your mind is set free

Signal Fire 03:41
I have sailed across these distant seas, oh I left my home behind I have walked across an ancient beach To time that’s out of mind All of my dreams All that I seek Look for the light on the mountaintop I know I must find So I will climb Look for the light on the mountaintop There is a light that burns inside Brighter than the flame I hold tonight I have journeyed long and far Now I wait for my lovers arms I have climbed to the highest peak, the Torch is in my hand I will light the signal fire, and Find the love I seek All of my dreams All that I seek Look for the light on the mountaintop I know I must find So I will climb Look for the light on the mountaintop Oh, so come and find me I know I must find So I will climb Look for the light on the mountaintop

Almighty 03:45
Avert your eyes, pretend that you don't see Don't ask why, follow me blind There's a reason for all the hate you see Trust in me... Trust in me... This is all a part of my master plan Isn't that enough to take comfort in? All I ask is that you NOT live your life in sin This is all you need to understand And I will save your soul If you do what you're told My kingdom come, and my will be done When you're in need, ask and you shall receive Only to me you must submit No need to ever question what you believe When they call you a hypocrite Death and disease, how can I appease? I work in mysterious ways No room for doubt, this is what I'm about Commit to me and I will not forsake And I will save your soul If you do what you're told My kingdom come, and my will be done

Ash to ash Bury the dead Traveling through space With a clock in my head Futures uncertain What will I do Nothing but Love Nothing so true Dust to dust We all gather round Sun in the center Follow the sound Past can’t be changed Can only be viewed Nothing but hate Nothing so true Out of the deep And into my mind Into the recess Of my design Possessed by sight something to prove Nothing so true As my love for you There’s no freedom Nothing to do There’s no escape Nothing so true Earth to Earth Woman to man Falling through time With a glass full of sand The journey continues Looking for you Nothing but love Nothing so true Hush now hush We’ve all tumbled down I reached the peak And stolen the crown The ending’s at hand I’ve broken through Nothing but hate Nothing so true Ash to ash And dust to dust Earth to earth Hush now hush Out of the black And into the blue Nothing but hate Nothing so true Out of the deep And into my mind Into the recess Of my design Possessed by sight something to prove Nothing so true As my love for you

Know My Name 04:09
In my dreams I can hear you scream And see the blood on your hands Convinced by lies, I have no alibis Trying to meet false demands What have we done to our hearts and brains Years in the dark just numbing the pain I’ve asked the questions everyone’s to blame You, me and them we are all the same Know my name, Know my name The only way when we’re all to blame In the mirror I see your face And see the past in your eyes See the children out there in the world no one to answer their cries What have we done with the air we breathe This is our home only one way to leave I’ve read the bones and seen the signs Message is clear these are dangerous times Know my name, Know my name The only way when we’re all to blame

What has been given What they take away Who will survive The battle today? And we ride, yes we ride You can run But cannot hide And we ride, yes we ride To fight for power And die with pride Ride lancers ride Through fields of death Against the tide Yes we ride It doesn’t matter to us To defend or invade With their blood on our hands Our debts will be paid And we ride, yes we ride You can run But cannot hide And we ride, yes we ride To fight for power And die with pride Ride lancers ride Through fields of death Against the tide Yes we ride Break their lances Break their bones Break their spirit Against the stones Ride lancers ride Through fields of death Against the tide Yes we ride
