Lyrics

Wasteland

Written by Nicholas Walsh

Leaving them to die, nice!
Time to turn your blind eyes (Take a number)
Deceiving heart in a masquerade (Get in line)
An act of God you seal their fate (Up my spine)
Polluting wars in which you’ve created lies, another genocide

Face down in a puddle of mud
Your only solution is to pull out your gun
Kings of war buried in sand
Get on your knees and welcome to the wasteland…

Selling out false pride with smiles
Trading oil for lives (All for power)
In the name of the land of waste (See the sign)
We all belong to the human race (Piece of mind)
Ethnic cleansing from outer space next time
Start using your mind

Light comes from inside of me, the darkness grows insanity
Revolution you’ll get your turn, tomorrow comes not for sure,
Crash and burn there ain’t no cure for you… you don’t know what to do.

Overdrive

Written by Nicholas Walsh

My life’s in overdrive
Lucky to be alive
It’s always do or die
To roll the dice, I’m first in line

Darkness calls from the other side
I’m driving nails, just like suicide
System failure from overdrive
I let it bleed, I’m like a Frankenstein

Can I breathe; will I sleep and forever rest in peace?
Never wake, hard to break
I never stop to think about you

As brave as Superman, just doing what I can
With every day I live, always believe and make my stand

Stalking darkness with overtime
I’ve made my mess; I guess I’m killing time
To get the motor humming
A soul to feed, where my demons dine

You’ve been drowning, borrowed time and forget losing
We need change
A precious bloodline

Now I see will I be or forever rest in peace?
Laid to waste, never traced
I never stop to think about you

Dead Weight

Written by Nicholas Walsh

Some people are afraid of changing
I think it’s better than a long vacation
Dead weight hero, I’ll drop the zero
and get rid of complication

In the past, we were built to last
but I’d opened the doors for deception
Now that shit is gone, and I’m marching on
with my present I’ve made the connection

Boo, throw out the trash, Sanitize
Then open your eyes
don’t fantasize; now I realize
My mistake I’ve been there before

I won’t be satisfied until I’m born again
from the pyre, birth, I’m rising
New beginnings, not the end my friend… we’ll meet again

Love Stands Still

Written by Nicholas Walsh

Doin’ time from pleasure, a tainted name
Missing love for treasure, it’s all in vain
Love stands still

I’ve finally figured it out, you’re nature’s game
Leaving me feeling sorrow, the pain
Love stands still

I never know what to say it’s always too late
Your love’s a weapon I won’t buy anymore
To stop this bleeding, I must be leaving
Before we wind up on the floor
Love stands still

Hear these words as I tell our story
I can’t be blinded by hopes and lies
Cuz your seduction is left behind me
This is our last goodbye

I know when I need enough and I’ve had my fill of you
I won’t pretend and just shake it off
Cuz there’s nothing you won’t do…it’s through
Love stands still

Forever and a Day

Written by Nicholas Walsh

My days were spent alone, my heart was open wide
Expecting no one to be there by my side
And then you came along and made all seem right
I’ll never be alone with you here every night

The chance we met was nothing more than fate
I thank the lord above for shining down that day

I spent my time looking for answers
Until you opened up the door and you opened up my eyes

You’re all I’m looking for, an angel to adore
I never thought I’d find, and now you hold my beating heart
My lover, my hero
I swear I love you and I promise to stay…forever and a day

When I hold your love and look into your eyes
A stronger man in me, but it makes me want to cry
But with those tears of joy, I feel and I believe
Our love can conquer all and realize all our dreams

Bullet Train

Written by Nicholas Walsh

Expecting all you see, crawl on the back of me as I wait for mediocrity
(All I do is wait)
Take heed, you crossed that line, being cursed one more time
I don’t see mistakes always waiting

Escaping, there’s another one down
Exposing, just a fake and a clown
Unbound
I’m coming on; you’ve got it my way
The truth is like a Bullet Train!

Been blinded kept in the dark (Been blinded waiting)
Information withheld, just to ring my bells
Tempted by fortune, you torture my flame
I’m still breathing, and you’re down the drain

Behaving with my feet on the ground
This anger’s got me dizzy and down
Unbound
Too bad you’ve gone away
The truth is like a Bullet Train!

Pulled under, drowning in lies
Don’t ask if I can swim, just laugh with your eyes
Make my day with misery, subjected to insanity
I can smell you a mile away, but you’re gone…And I’m loving this

Mommy is a Junkie

Written by Nicholas Walsh

Mommy is a junkie; she always says she’s tired
She needs a fix, from lunatics, for service that they’ve hired
Mommy is a junkie; that much we know is true,
A space cadet, with no regret of what she put you through

Open up your eyes for Heaven’s sake
It’s someone else’s life, now it’s time to pray

Mommy is a junkie; gold digging is her job
Find a man to hold her hand, to tease him, then to rob
Mommy is a junkie; parading on the scene
a rockstars dream that she used to be, but now an aging drama queen

Open up your eyes to what is real
You should be scared of the wrath that she could be
Get your head out of the clouds for heaven’s sake
Or you’ll be on your knees from here til judgement day

Can you see the light? Burning cross you bare
I see lonely eyes, Is it over?
Does it make you cry? You think no one cares
Dry your lonely eyes, vicious circle

I know what she’s craving, dying for a saving
Numb there’s no more feeling, clawing at the ceiling
Baby wants to be her, if she could only see her
Numb there’s no more feeling, clawing at the ceiling

Mommy is a junkie; her lack of self esteem
She made her bed now the rose is dead, think of what she could’ve been
Mommy is a junkie; delusion still in tact
Her plastic shell, her life of hell, she’s never coming back

Mommy is a junkie; her soul already died
Her spirit licked, her body sick with no one at her side
Mommy is a junkie; selfish and she’s sworn
‘If it weren’t for you, she would’ve had her time’
She wished you were never born

Wheel of Misfortune

Written by Nicholas Walsh, Laurie-Anne Green

They sell like you’re gonna believe it’s the second coming
Brain noise from their verbal disease and your mind starts numbing
How high do they want us to go, until we break down, hand over our
souls?We’re so; filled with holes it’s draining

It’s been to long
Wheels of misfortune penetrated our deal
Fixated, a viral need
The memory is gone…Cuz you have been erased!

One more, another one for the road, igniting something
Spaced out, burning into the soul, twisted, turning
Blind I sniffed out buried treasure, a grave I could not see

I never thought it would be like this
You always let me go, like I could control it
Protecting lies is fine, just stop including me or mine
You’ll always envy me…now choke it down, its bitter sweet

On Broken Wings

Written by Nicholas Walsh

Do you feel your age, do you like what you’ve become?
Are you in a cage, do you wonder what you’ve done?
Can’t you see it straight, looking back on yesterday?
Precious time ticks away, fading fast, an empty day

Gonna be my fate, that’s washed ashore
All the streets of gold, can’t find them anymore
No heart and soul, it slipped away, not okay
Our tears to stone my hair to gray

I can feel my surroundings
Open hills, land so wide, to run
Making ways for our freedom to change
I hope we’ll be alright, I know we’ll be alright, today

As time rolls on, my mind is sound
No compromise, hell I’ve stood my ground
No matter what, they can’t take that away
I’m rising up, I’m not afraid

Will we ever touch the sky?
To fly on broken wings, is harder than it seems
Will my phoenix ever rise?
Ashes left of dreams, finally time to breath

On broken wings for far too long

Necropolis

Written by Nicholas Walsh

Do you feel your age, do you like what you’ve become?
Are you in a cage, do you wonder what you’ve done?
Can’t you see it straight, looking back on yesterday?
Precious time ticks away, fading fast, an empty day

Gonna be my fate, that’s washed ashore
All the streets of gold, can’t find them anymore
No heart and soul, it slipped away, not okay
Our tears to stone my hair to gray

I can feel my surroundings
Open hills, land so wide, to run
Making ways for our freedom to change
I hope we’ll be alright, I know we’ll be alright, today

As time rolls on, my mind is sound
No compromise, hell I’ve stood my ground
No matter what, they can’t take that away
I’m rising up, I’m not afraid

Will we ever touch the sky?
To fly on broken wings, is harder than it seems
Will my phoenix ever rise?
Ashes left of dreams, finally time to breath

On broken wings for far too long

Hell To Pay

Written by Nicholas Walsh

I know I’ve seen it enough
There’s no escape from the inhuman touch
The only way is a rise then a fall
Our own demise makes my skin crawl

Become dependent on the life of machines
Dark age upon us I’ve seen in my dreams
Our own inventions made to think for themselves
I pray to Gods there’s no toll of the bells

I’ve got no time to waste
We can change our fate

Fight back, get up off the ground
Before our world stops spinning around
Wake up, just live for the day
If we don’t stop now…there’s only hell to pay

We’re taught to think that its under control
But who are they to be digging our hole?
A simple slime with its cronies in mass
A fake magician who’s been caught in the act of selling others freedom for
power and face
To hide the truth and to hide their mistakes
United rulers who state they are sane
They’re pointing fingers, they can’t take the blame

We’ve got no time to waste
It’s time to clean our slate

As darkness falls spreading like the plague
When will they realize there is nothing to gain?
To run on empty and choke on the fumes
The pyre burning is there nothing left to do?
It’s happened for centuries over and over again
Mankind has travelled to death and come back again
Are we just victims who cause our own fate?
I’d like to breathe again
