- Born To Rise
we were born to rise 2x
so what you know about sacrifice?
when the lights go out
the price you pay when you're diggin down
The skin of your teeth and the pain in your back
what you know about hope what you know about that?
write it off as criminal a place to cast a stone
- Built To Last
I've been to a place so cold, it steals your soul
It takes more than hope, it takes its toll
Where the fine line begins and heroes end
Where the nay sayers pray and the innocent sin
Where night conquers day and fortunes fade
The land sharks stay and hurt won't go away
When trouble sets in and you can't get out
Cause there's so much fear and doubt
- Bullet In My Hand
I've got a fast life and
a slow cuttin knife
I've been drinkin at a poisoned well
No home and a bag of bones
Nothin else left to sell
I know why I'm in this hell
I just don't want to believe
Past that line you just can't tell
- City Life
There’s a young man with dirt on his hands
There’s a room of sweat, full on one night stands
A life of regret in a rock and roll band
There’s a whole lot of debt and a pocket full of sand
There’s a sick mother, can’t find her lost son
And there’s a father who didn’t know he had one run down caddy
In The neighbors backyard
- Cold Killer
I’ve been waging a deadly war
I’ve been left by the side for days
I’ve been burned by the flames before
People say that I’ve lost my way
I done passed through the gates of hell
it’s a fiery road to pave
Past the point where you can tell
If there’s something really left to save
- Come back
Many times I've walked the line
I've rolled the dice and questioned my life
Many times I sacrificed and dealt with the pain
I've been down this road before
Where the dead ends are
It rains and it pours
I've been down below and
It's the price that I paid
- Comeback
Many times I've walked the line
I've rolled the dice and questioned my life
Many times I sacrificed and dealt with the pain
I've been down this road before
Where the dead ends are
It rains and it pours
I've been down below and
It's the price that I paid
- Drivin To Kalifornia
I had a 49 Merc that I chopped myself
A chip on my shoulder and a story to tell
I was three years clean and I just woke up
So I told all my shit and packed up the truck
Had a hand full of luck a fist full of times
A slouch in my stance so I made up my mind
I'm changin' my gears I'm changin' the time
Still chased by the devil that I'm leavin' behind
- Eye of a Hurricane
I’ve been bought and sold, been high and low
Watched the train come off the rails
Been drunk and stoned been hot and cold
And held against my will
Ain’t no going home here
Where I might end up, it’s hard to tell, it’s hard to tell
Well I improvise and deal with lies
- Heavy Heart
You shouldn’t have to pay for sleep
Or tell yourself to smile
Why you wanna measure the pain
Casting blame on the flames while we’re starting the fire
I don’t want to run from you
It’s makeshift by design
Heavy is the heart that holds you down with all it’s weight
- Lift The Curse
Been through the hurt
Now I'm losing my shirt
And you say I got an attitude
Now I've broken the law
Made a real bad call
But you don't care what I'm going through
I need love (love)
Love, love's gotta make it work
- Old man
He didn’t have much
A pair of hard working hands
Everything that I needed
I got it from the old man
With a nine second dream
He drove the Redlight Bandit
And the grease on his hands
Was the way he commanded
- Redemption
Just like a needle in a haystack
Another day when we run with the wolf pack
Everybody wants a piece when you know how
You don't want to be on this side of know how
When you see the horizon fading
And the bright lights all start changing
When your fate pulls up in a flat black phaeton
You don't want to leave them waiting
- Something For The Pain
Some days you get the feelin'
Of hittin' the concrete
Get the strain out of your life,
What about your life
You're gettin' nervous cause the purpose
Is hidden you can't see
And the world's gonna pass you by and
They'll watch you die
- When The Dust Settles Down
I've been up and down these street, I've seen both sides of town,I've been in through the hard shit, the long way around the point of no return,just where I begin, I've spent a lot a time with all 7 deadly sins,hated who I was, who I had became,lost my faith in god, put my faith in cocaine,cheated on my girlfriends, lied to myself, put all my family through hell.
when the dust settles down, you've seen where you've been,
you're running on empty,broken within,
when the dust settles down, there ain't nothing left, turn it around, star over again.
And when you have nothing left,find out what you worth.
I came through the storm, start digging in he dirt.
