deeper within the sorrow grows. buried in me are the seeds I've sown. I've given to you all I have to give. and you turned me away. . feed... and I'm sober.
dig through the dirt. where I now lay. see the penance. that I now pay. I'm alive in the devil's hatred. where nothing is sacred in me. now kiss the throne.
This fraction of time,. Will it humble our thinking. or laugh in our face. Beaten and torn on bruised knees crawling,. It decomposes my soul. . Fall - constantly falling,.
Look out over our city streets. See the violence below. Losers cling to their hallowed ground. Only faith that they know. Youth collides in opposing prides.
lay out the spade in a nation of hate. where the color of skin rules all. now see the hands of the dealer of lies. where the weak are humbled and fall.
BODY UP (GONSPEAK). . (Chorus/hook). Body up (up) listen to what im saying. Body up (up) listen to what im saying. Body Down (Down) listen to what im saying.
We are the land that gave unto me. We are the land where you cop a plea. We are the land that your dollar bore. We are the land that wants so much more.
intro: I am the dead man walking. I am the dead man walking. I am the dead man walking. ...the last of my bloodline. . there is a pain that burns inside.
Trying to run from what you are. Afraid of being alive. Hands shaking body aching. The abuse left a permanent scar. So now to get by you do whatever it takes.
you've stumbled in now fortified. now taste the hate where worlds collide. breathing in your life subsides. knowing that your hands are tied... rage. .
Got mighty convictions, I'm my only help. I'm on my own conditions, I only blame myself. I try to be the only friend I need. To be left alone it came to be.
A befitting doom for a generation. A drug ridden culture of mass sedation. Failing to realize its own demise. Falling generation, caught by surprise. Identity crisis.
I know no pain inside my shrine. the world grows cold I lose my mind. the wounds inside that just won't heal. the pain now grows I learn to feel. . look in my soul you'll see it's true.
The things you tried to make me believe in. To live, give, love and forgive. . I'm trying.... . Never painless, emotional emptiness. I always keep raping myself this way.
deep inside I've been force-fed lies. and only lead astray. I've been nailed to the wheel. and left behind and only cast away. . now you can never break me.
Thank you for the sleepless nights;. I wish I could repay you for them.. Thank you for the best years of my life.. For this I thank you with these tears..
Preacher man, judging you again. Telling you about your sins. He made himself god to say. Sinful life is not the way. Follow christ the lord of flies.
This is something I will never say to you;. You've heard it all before.. The way I feel about those times that I once cried,. a thousand times before..
All sins tend to be addictive. And the terminal point of addiction is always. Damnation. . Filled with anguish, you feed on the weak. Seized up with fear of yourself.
I think about you nightly, I think of how we might be,. I with that I could throw it all away.. And maybe start all over, cause we're just getting older,.
