Black Flag 02:35
lyrics

Spit on your palms Chop down the tree Hoist up the black flag 1,2,3 We’re going in fast We’re going in mean There’ll be no surrender There’ll be no retreat Behold a pale horse Now it’s gone to the dogs The good times are over It’s too late for God It’s every man for himself You’d better run for the hills The good times are over Now it’s, kill or be killed In a sharply cut suit He fixes you a grin Lifting his hat He says, “Friend…” He pulls up his stool Sinks another gin, and says “One thing you should know is that the enemy is within.” Oh, dear… what can the matter be? Let’s stick to the point at hand Oh, my… what a calamity Save yourself if you can Over and over, again and again, time after time That’s the nature of the game

Guns At Dawn Pt. I 03:30
lyrics

Verse 1 Guns at dawn, we’ll shoot them all if that what it’s gonna take, Guns at dawn, now you’ve been warned keep your head down for goodness sake, The sun will rise in crimson skies today… Verse 2 Tell my son I’ve done no wrong and he’ll understand it all one day, For all they’ve said and all they’ve done who’s the criminal in this charade? The sea will rise with a crimson tide today, they should be afraid… Chorus Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We’re on our way, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We cannot stay inside, For we will surely die… Verse 3 It’s been three long days and three long nights since they surrounded us in this barn, As the dark is chased by the twilight we quietly prepare our arms, The sun creeps over hills the twilight fades, now they’re gonna pay… Chorus Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We’re on our way, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We cannot stay inside, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We’re on our way, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We cannot stay inside, For we will surely die… Middle 8 As the guns ring out I fall to the ground and my head is feeling light, I rise to my knees and tell them the truth that the man that they wanted, Left in the night… Chorus Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We’re on our way, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We cannot stay inside, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, We’re on our way, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, It’s a lovely day to die, As I sail on the crimson tide.

Cavedwellers 05:14
lyrics

Cave Dwellers Wracked with self doubt, I crawled on my belly, To the cave in the walls. Just like so many. When I got inside, I went around and around, Starved myself for forty nights. Do you know what I found? Chorus Something’s coming out of me and I don’t know what it is. Something’s coming out of me. What is,what is this? I crawled out of the cave, unto the wicked sun. Under his punishing gaze, I knew that I was done. Well it burns it burns, When your belly’s this dry. No well to keep you going. Or to get you high. Chorus I got to my feet, a man of industry, In the simmering heat, I knew I couldn’t be beat. Well its stings, it stings This damage inside When you know that you lost yourselves, To the cave’s in your minds. Chorus.

The Dauntless Indio 04:16
lyrics
download
The Dauntless Indio There’s panic in the streets You’d better lock your doors Bar up the windows, keep your backs to the wall There’s a wave of terror sweeping through this town on the breeze of the whispering gossip hounds Built like a tree, a colossal brute If he ain’t the devil then he’s in cahoots “Daddy. Daddy. Why can’t I go out to play?” “Because The Dauntless Indio will take you away!” Brave men tremble at the mention of his name They hang their heads in cowardly shame Be sure you’re in by dusk Never travel alone Blow out the streetlamps and stay at home Built like a tree, a colossal brute If he ain’t the devil then he’s in cahoots “Daddy. Daddy. Why can’t I go out to play?” “Because The Dauntless Indio will take you away!” He drinks the blood of young children like a burgundy wine To wash down their flesh when it’s supper time Armed with a blunderbuss, a machete and a knife When he’s done with your children he’ll be back for your wife! He rides into town in the dead of night Hunts at the mercy of his appetite His calling card scrawled in blood for all to see “None shall escape me”

Shoot him in the head.. They caught the politician at the borderline. He told a little lie so they’ll do him for his crime. People wanna see, there baying for blood. What you gonna, what you gonna do now. Take him out back and shoot him in the head. Take him out back and shoot him in the head. Take him out the back and shoot him in the head. Till he’s dead, till he’s dead, till he’s dead. The drive to the prison will go on for hours. We might me resistance, there maybe some fires. People wanna see, there paying for blood. What you gonna do, what you gonna do now. Chorus. I can see the whites of your eyes, He looks terrified. Chorus.

On the Sea 04:25
lyrics

On the sea. I am a sailor. I sail the seven seas. Looking for islands Looking for safety. I used to be a farmer. I worked for my family. Till the pirates came. Took them away from me. Chorus You can tell everyone it’s alright. You can tell everyone it’s all alright. I’m happy somehow. I’m happy somehow. On the sea.. I am a sailor. I look to the oceans, For the answers. For the solutions. I let my compass, Set my direction. Scan the horizon, Looking for the skull and bones. Chorus. 1,2 they’re coming for you. 3,4 knocking at your door. 5,6 you cannot resist, 7,8 you will only be saved. On the sea……..

Bear Hunt We’re going on a bear hunt you better be quick. If you wanna come along then you better be quick. We’re going on a bear hunt with swords and sticks. We’re going get to it. We’re going on a bear hunt this furious five. You better keep up if you want to stay alive. Yes you’d better keep up if you want to stay alive. Cos the bear might be behind. Why o why o. Listen and learn. The more you struggle the more that it will burn. I’ve seen the fear in a brave man’s eyes. I’ve seen the fear in a brave man’s eyes. Well I’ve seen the fear in a brave man’s eyes. As he’s about to die. I’ve seen a young man fall apart. I’ve seen a young man fall apart. Well I’ve seen a young man fall apart. When a women takes his heart. Chorus. We could start all over again. We could start all over again. We could start all over again. You and me. Well you and me. We’re going a bear hunt, you might get hurt You better still your mind and steal your nerves Well you’d better still your mind and steal your nerves. Cos the bear never comes off worse. I’ve seen the claws tear through the flesh. I’ve seen the claws tear through the flesh. Well I’ve seen the claws tear through the flesh. The man never comes off best. Chorus.

Guns at Dawn Pt. II 03:49
lyrics

Guns at Dawn Part II Verse 1 For days I’ve walked along this dusty road, With my cross to bear and with my troubled soul, Their whispers tearing at my ears, the wind is tearing at my clothes. Verse 2 I dare not even stop for breath, ‘cause these streets they reek of alcohol and death, And these surly words they speak they stand between myself and sleep, But I’ll keep trying, or I’ll be lying on these streets tonight. Chorus I’m a stranger in this town tonight, Wont you spare this stranger another bar-room fight, I’m a stranger in this town tonight, All I ask is for a drink, to ease my mind, to stop me thinking of how I left you, of how I left you, of how I left you, of how I left you, to the dogs… Time’s a healer well that’s what they say, But these wounds they seem to worsen by the day, And my thoughts are never far from how I left you in that barn, To save my own hide, you gave your own life. Chorus I’m a stranger in this town tonight, Wont you spare this stranger another bar-room fight, I’m a stranger in this town tonight, All I ask is for a drink, to ease my mind, to stop me thinking of how I left you, of how I left you, of how I left you, of how I left you, of how I left you, Oh I will avenge you, for what they‘ve done… I’m a stranger in this town tonight, Wont you spare this stranger another bar-room fight, I’m a stranger in this town tonight, If looks could kill I would have died a thousand times I’m a stranger in this town tonight, All I ask is for a drink, to ease my mind, to stop me thinking.

Hell 04:46
lyrics

Hell. Late at night they come knocking at your door. All fake smiles looking for a signature. They’ll say just anything to get you to sign. You better know your souls from your minds. You took the debt know it’s time to collect. For services rendered that they will never forget. They’ll come at night with a politicians guile. Clutching the paperwork you didn’t file. H.E.L.L You’ll tell the judge that it isn’t fair. They caught you whilst you were unawares. They caught you whilst you were at your worst. But the judge he say: “It’s chapter and verse”. H.E.L.L It’s getting hot in here so fuckin hot in here. It’s getting hot in here so fuckin hot in here H.E.L.L
