Rip back that cord & let that chainsaw fly Rev up the engine, now its time for you to die Nothing makes me happier than the vibration in my hands The smell of gas and the power it commands I like it when you run and hide among the trees The hunt is what I crave, the kill is what I need To make it nice & fair I'll give you a head start Makes it even better when I rip you apart I can smell the terror dripping from your pours So I pull back the throttle and let that sucker roar Cause the more afraid you are the better the thrill The more you scream the more I get my fill Now I have you pinned, stuck against a tree Jam in my blade and watch your agony Blood sprays out and splatters every place I just can't wipe the smile from my face

Abandon Hope 02:54
I sold my soul long ago The collectors here and it's time to go Walk on through the demon gate To meet the devil and seal my fate Crawling through the filth on my hands and knees Listening to all the tortured souls beg and scream Flesh and blood splayed all around Lakes of blood that drag you down Now I sit in my cell What awaits is my own hell Everlasting eternal pain Abandon hope cause its all too late So when he comes in the night listen closely and do what's right Run away and save yourself
3.
Desolate 03:09
Sit back and watch the plague sweep across the land Lock yourself away, I'd like to see if you can No one is going to help you in your time of need So cry to your government while you beg & plead Now the world has changed right before your eyes All your friends & family were taken by surprise There's nothing you can do, now your all alone Except watch the news and sit around at home And think about the world and how it used to be While corrupt politicians will never set you free Money in their pockets and blood on their hands While your told to wait and just do what you can Sterilize the life that you once knew Look out the window, I hope you enjoy the view Sit back down and stare at your T.V. All you have left for company are your machines

The embers have cooled but not gone out It takes one stir to burn them bright and hot What once set the night a violent blaze Has dimmed and began to fade away Now the wind has come and blew around the ash Igniting a flame, now the fires burning fast There's nowhere you can run, nowhere you can hide Now that the flame lit the fire inside Like a locomotive charging at full steam I'll run over everything to get where I need Nothing's going to stop me and what I plan to do I'll break down the walls and I'll break down you I've made enemies and lost friends along the way But I've carved my own path so that's OK The road may be tough and hard to comprehend Ill be standing tall in the end A fire inside, burns inside my head All I see is crimson red Once more chance to get it right Or just fade away into the night So here I am once again, on my own, no more friends The fire inside burns too bright, I won't give up, Ill keep up the fight I'll turn the page one more time, Next chapter starts, I'm moving on What you used to know about me is dead I can't change the past, just push ahead
5.
You got to bite the bullet & finally take a stand Out the politicians who don't give a damn About the average person working 9 to 5 Living check to check just to survive They think the can control us with drugs, lies, and T.V Dumb us down so we're too blind to see Line their pockets off our blood, sweat, & tears Get us to fight each other based off our fears So swallow your pride and do what's right Get off your couch and put up a fight Nothing will happen unless you decide Now is the chance to turn the tide So string them up, and watch them swing Now's the time to let freedom ring
6.
There is no more room for you Your hidden behind your lies The time has come to expose the truth It's time to open your eyes We've had enough of you You've run your course If you don't leave on your own We'll make you by force So sick and tired Of the same old thing No more blind faith What change can that bring So stand up and make your voice be heard Make them hear your every word If they don't like what you have to say Then the time has come to make them pay The time is now Time to make your voice be heard

When I was younger I was angry & bottled up I didn't care about the world, only getting drunk I took what I wanted and did as I pleased Played in bands and got hassled by police What the hell have I become? I don't know any more and I can't change the things I've done Time has left me behind Like sand in a hourglass I'm left feeling high & dry So many friends came & gone, victim to their disease While I work day to day begging on my knees Sometimes I wonder if they are better off Rotting in the ground than lead by Donald Trump Now that I'm older and still fucked in the head Why am I still here while all my friends are dead But I'll keep doing the things I always do Remembering the good times I had with all of you We are the old & the dead Friends came & gone leaving me here instead We are the old & the dead No looking back, it is time to push ahead

Driving real fast down highway 5 Ain't nobody going to take me alive I got a loaded .44 and a wish for death A back seat full of money, now I hold my breath I lie, I cheat, I murder, I steal Just me and my prize behind the wheel The spikes come out, my wheels go flat My car flips over and my vision fades to black I wake up and see the cops come running I unload 6 shots and now the bullets start coming So now I'm dying but I have no fear I unload more ammo and now the end is here I got a perfect view of heaven from my front row seat in hell God never loved me but the devil treated me so well Now I sit on my throne of bone in hell Here forever because of the evil life I lead I knew this would happen, the way it would be Living in hell, Damned for eternity
9.
Standing at edge I look into the abyss Get the urge to jump when reality hits I take a deep breath, where'd I get this thought The call of the void is pulling me along Have you ever wondered what it's like to drown? Or step into traffic until your lifeless on the ground Maybe take a knife and cut into your veins I wish I had the words, I wish I could escape But now I've gone beyond the call So fuck this place, I'll end it all Time to walk back on the ledge Take two step, now here comes the end
10.
The walls came crumbling all around I want to keep going but everyone let me down I knew from the beginning that you all lost your heart Time for you to move on and become a adult The dream is dead but I don't care I'll keep moving forward, I just don't know where So much sacrifice for all those years Just to let it end for no one to hear Standing at the pass, which direction will it be? The path that leads to nowhere or the one that sets me free I'll keep on sailing, floating right along Another empty bottle another unheard song Now that their gone and I'm still here I'll write another song and take a look into the mirror A BETTER WAY I work this 9 to 5 I drink to stay alive Pass out on the floor I live day to day and not a day more There must be a better way But I got all the rent and bills to pay Live and die with a drink in hand Dreaming of the road and distant lands Going through the motions just to stay on top God knows that's not what I really want But I'll just grab another beer Just a few more until the end is here Waiting for the future I was destined for I guess I'll wait just a little bit more 36 years have passed me by How many left before I die?
