Use God for this, thank God for that
Thank God for this, use God for that
Say God for this, praise God for that
God for this and that!

Use the fatherly name for some personal gain
A little love directed high up above
Separate Church and State, no debate
All fall to the divine checkmate

Hey God I used your name today... Do you mind?
Hey God I used your name in vain .. Do you mind?

In the name of god for this
In the name of god for that
In gods name for that
In gods name for this

Use the fatherly name for some personal gain
A little love directed high up above
Sing some blasphemy with friends in harmony
Try it universally

Hey God, Do you mind?
Hey God, Do you mind?
Hey God, Do you mind?
Hey God, Do you mind?

I used your name
I used your name
Do you mind?
Do you mind?

Who is that?
On the TV
Looking cool
As cool as can be

Can I get there?
What's the trick?
Time to learn
A few Guitar licks

Practice makes perfect so all I did was play
Never gonna give it up cause my dreams will fade away
Parents didn't care for it, (but that is ok)
Just jammed on till my guitar called it a day

Should I join a band?
And turn up
Make some movies
Destroy stuff

Gotta take a shot
It's what I want
Gotta take a shot
Got to Take A Shot!

Practice makes perfect so all I did was play
Never gonna give it up cause my dreams fade away
Parents didn't care for it, (but that is ok)
Just jammed on till my guitar called it a day

Air guitar to the sky
Air guitar to the sky
Air guitar to the sky
Air guitar to the sky
Pretending that I'm idolized
Air guitar to the sky
Pretending that I'm idolized
Air guitar to the sky

Four Walls for now
Toy soldiers are the stand-in crowd
One day I'll be set free
And someone will look up to me

Four Walls for now
Stuffed friends are the stand-in crowd
One day I'll be set free
And someone will look up to me

A round of drinks on me
Swallow tragedy
Down it goes
Poison knows
Where to strike first
Sticks to the mind
To the mind

Kissing her face
Hearts quicken pace
Down she goes
Cause love knows
Where to strike first
Sticks to the mind
To the mind

Just remember a time
When it was all about you
There's nothing, nothing more to do

Just remember a time
When it was all about you
There's nothing, nothing more to do

Thirst quenched
From a fountain
Wind beaten frost
High on top of a mountain

Storm clouds
Haunt the sky
A captured soldier
Is about to die

School teacher faces the board
She knows the children mock
Holy man prays to his lord
An old band can still rock

Two dogs run wild
Their snouts wearing smiles
A vampire sins
Adds another to its kin

Out there with the sun
Out there with the moon
They watch, and wait
Introduction Soon….

Out There with the sun
Out there with the moon

Riddles in your (Every word)
Did you just say? (The things I heard)
That forbidden step (Crossed)
This Brotherhood (Is Lost)

Now our family tree
Will shake your twig free
See what you've done?
I've just become an only son

You - Tried to make amends with that hard sell
Lies - Filled up everything you would tell
Life - Without you may be a little sad
I - Have to say that I'm prepared

Cause our family tree
Will shake your twig free
See what you've done
I've just become an only son

You - What Are you?? Who Are you??
What a chance to take
Please, look inward and witness your greatest mistake
Me - What am I? What am I? What am I?
I'm Free! Free!
Free from false family

Brotherhood (4x)

Ends!

Don't leave me here
Hey, don't leave me here
I'll shed blood dear
Just don't leave me here
See I got a plan
Yeah, I got a plan
The master plan
I got a plan!

Fortune and fame don't know my name
Soon they will then it's all up hill
Fortune and fame don't know my name
Soon they will, then it's all up hill
Or these arms will take charge and end it with.... end it how?
A Pill? A rope? A drink, some dope?
Dangerous fun? That good old gun?

Fail the first time
Fail again
Fail all the way till the end

Fortune and fame don't know my name
Soon they will, then it's all up hill
Or these arms will take charge and end it with.... end it how?
A Pill? A rope? A drink, some dope?
Dangerous fun? That good old gun?

Opportunity

Would you like to know me?

Awakening in the morning, I
Know that it's just too early
Call in sick to work, throw the covers on my head and fall out
No therapy can help me find
what's going on in my mind
I've called on you..... and you fail me again
Steady Diet of my own self pity
Where does it get me??
All alone without the one, who used to make me feel so good
Pick myself up; I don't want to let these feelings beat me.
I try so hard but find myself back in this place I can't escape....
I've called on you
Where were you?
I've called on you
But you won't come through
I've called on you
Where were you?
I've called on you
To help me through........
Give me my heart back if it's no use to you anymore
Sleep deprived and feeling these years
Wash on By.....
I learned the hard way and I know I paid the price
I'll pick up the pieces and put an end to all this Strife
I've called on you
You never came through
I've called on you
You never came through
I've called on you
Where were you?
I've called to you
Our time is over
It's time to dream

The Day Is New Again
Feeling Very Strange
Don't Wanna Do my Job
No Matter What They Pay

I can't change the way I feel
A clouded mind, filled with fears
Lost in this fog
I try to break free

Just let me drift away for a minute
Let me forget these times of sorrow
Take me to a place where I'll be fine
How can I live like this?
Suddenly the meaning fits
I'll give you my world
And you know it ain't the same
I've wracked my brain

Talk to a Friend
Stare away, Soar right through it
Sing this song of Sin
And it gets me in the end

My Busted Arm
Your broken Care
We're in the world
But we're not the same

This is not alright for me
Tried so hard to break free
Locked me up and I can never go back
How have I lived like this?
No longer want to feel remiss
I gave you my world
And I'll never be the same
