RAT CITY RIOT



WE´RE THE ONES
.
We´re the ones who aren´t like you
We´re the one who´ll always be true
.
Dark alleyways and in dark bars
A van, some drums a bass and guitars
You´re stuck in a rut walking dead never free
We´re doing what we love just you and me
.
Might not pay my bills or the fucking rent
Sleeping in the van when our moneys spent
Standing at the door of some lonely dive
Waiting for my time---Time to feel alive
.
Sitting here planning my great escape
Corruption, disruption, enemy of state
They´re bleeding you to death with that mine to five
Suit and tie zombies gonna eat you alive
Might not pay my bills or the fucking rent
Sleeping in the van when our moneys spent
Standing at the door of some lonely dive
Waiting for my time---Time to feel alive
Might not pay my bills or the fucking rent
Sleeping in the van when our moneys spent
Standing at the door of some lonely dive
Waiting for my time---Time to feel alive
.
Roads and sky together at the break of dawn
That city´s gone, keep moving on, this life won´t last long
Inhale-exhale-it grows stale then i´s gone
Break away, break of day, it´s time to move on
Might not pay my bills or the fucking rent
Sleeping in the van when our moneys spent
Standing at the door of some lonely dive
Waiting for my time---Time to feel alive
.
LAST CALL
.
Now´s about the time just like every other niht
You had a couble drinks now you´re looking for a fight
Now, i´m not one to judge or say you´re wrong or right
Just stay away from me or I´ll have to dim your lights
.
It always seems to escalate, someone is seeing red
It doesn´t really matte how..The fire must be fed
Last call bells are ringing your stupor starts to break
You´ve forgotten where you are again and try to raise the stakes
.
I´ve been standing here alone watching people pass me by
I guess my quiet nature made you thing that I´m your guy
Busting through the crowd all puffed up and all blown out
A shoulder check,disrespect, the punches start to fly
.
It always seems to escalate, someone is seeing red
It doesn´t really matte how..The fire must be fed
A scuffle in the alley, a bottle whips by your head
An elbow hits your soft spot and you hit the ground like lead
Maybe you got lucky...I guess we´ll waut and see
Here comes another Friday night-Just stay away fom me

BORN TO LOSE

THE AFTERMATH
.
Asthe mad man now cedes power to his throne
His subjects all abndoned...left on their own
To the great unknown, our road looks hard and long
But a kingdom´s heart is open...
As our feet they lead us on and on to...
.
Where we belong
These hearts made strong
Once weak, now one
.
Have the power to,
Untwist the screw and go
.
No...We´ve got sickness in these bones,
But we won´t back down, if it´s down to you
No... Stripped the witless of his throne
And we won´t look back, if it´s back to you
.
From the aftemath of failure we find hope
The promise of the prophet, to carry on
Optimism now unshackled, and unchained
Gives breath back to the artist
Whose canvas stretches on and on to...
.
Where we stand strong
Freedom´s new song
Once weak, now one
.
Disposed casually,
No more casualties of war
.
PREY AT THE ALTAR
.
Prey on the innocent, with falsehood, myth, and panic
Warning all the flock of all the ills of thoe who stray
Penitence, is abhorrence, the wise man upped and walked away...
From the touted pearly gates you made
.
Sorry father, but the cat´s still in the cradle
Hocked the spoon, t put a man on the moon
So pedophilic, holy cleric, fall down to your knees and prey...
.
Give me truth, give me shelter, give me faith,
Give me nothing...I´ll leave it all behind and then
Dub me udas, paid in silver, for his sn, I pray
A godless prayer for recompense
.
Pray for the scientist, the thinker, and the cynic
The pacifist protagonist will burn for his mistake
The celebrant, doth rave and rant, tell me who´s the talking snake
The sadly lead us all astray
.
Prey al the altar, cast out tour fauth
Pray we don´t falter, the rapture awaits
So gather to witness the new end of days
When we can unshackle our minds from these chains
.
Hey mother, they father, your son has returned
With reason, and ration, strangely unburned
The message, the martyr, finally unlearned
As we celebrate a warless ner earth
Hey brother, hey sister, do you feel it too?
A ner church of now with a burden of proof
And a duty, not dogma, not faith, just the truth
To tell all it´s children...It´s All Up To You
.
Prey al the altar, cast out tour fauth
Pray we don´t falter, the rapture awaits
So gather to witness the new end of days
When we can unshackle our minds from these chains
