Uh, this is war with no weapons, marching with no stepping Murder with no killing, illin' every direction First, no sequel, do the math, no equal John with no Yoko, more power, less people And no, I'm not afraid of that, print it in your paperback Every rap is made in fact to act as a delayed attack Every phrase, a razor blade that's saved until they play it back To slay and leave 'em laying on the pavement Bang, fade to black In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today Roll credits you get it the show's done They're talking for just talking, but meaning, they got none None of 'em come proper, they talk like a shotgun But how many got bred with integrity? Not one So no, I'm not afraid to see these suckers hold a blade to me Ain't a way to shake the ground I built before you came to be Take it how you take it, I'm the opposite of vacancy And this is not negotiation, y'all can hate And wait and see In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today

A moment of glory The blink of an eye and it's all gone You hide in confinement Dark is the cell that you call home We pretend to be blind Everytime it hurts to see You, you close your eyes To blink the night away At ease in the wastelands You, you're dead and blind You sanctify the way Blindfold in the wastelands Don't tell me in pain The end doesn't justify the means Spado, ascetic It's easy to sermonize in jealousy Now I'm off to life I'm changing sides Your final goodbye You, you close your eyes To blink the tears away Love hurts in the wastelands You, you're old and blind You sacrifice it all Lost in the wastelands You, you close your eyes To blink the night away At ease in the wastelands You, you're dead and blind You sanctify the way Blindfold in the wastelands

Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home Crossing battles, savage seas towards the mountains high Forest plains of wilderness we're striking out tonight On towards our destiny we travel far and wide Journey through the darkness as your hearts refuse to die In the flames of hell we fire at will the fires of doom has come With the forces of the blackest knights they're staring at the sun Far across the distant plains of ice we're searching for the sword When the time has come for battle now we follow with the horde We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky In the land of long ago forever in our souls Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home Fallen soldiers taste the steel of death, the daylight dawning Sun will shine upon the lives of burning hearts of ice As you break through the boundaries of life this feeling of despair And they die in their sleep for the world that will not care You feel lost in this labyrinth of pain, this sickening dismay There's a voice inside that's calling another wasted day Can't you see the history, the suffocating madness? In the land of fallen souls there's nowhere left, no place to go I have traveled far and wide across this wasteland Still searching for the answers for the right to understand Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home Riding through the starlight and smashing the boundaries as hellfire falls from the sky Shadow of pain will arise from the ashes of those fallen ones who have died Our only master with fire and fury of hell will see his bidding done Blasting from high as the battle unfolds to the gates of the city we come We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky In the land of long ago forever in our souls Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

It's a lifelong project of a life on the lash I've forgotten how to care but I'll remember for cash It's my party and I'll cry if I want to Light the fuse, sing the blues, I can die if I want to Tonight we're gonna bring tomorrow's happiness Gonna live like it's the end I love you to death, but I must suggest You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last He's an old time blagger Wraps a hand in band Still knows the streets of Camden like the back of his hand He's an all time lover and a marathon man And with the strength of a thousand men He's a nightmare hangover He's a one night stand He can eat more chicken than any man in the land Well I've given up caring for happiness When this heart gives out is when I'll rest Run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last Cause tonight we are gonna spend All tomorrow's happiness If we don't break before we bend And tonight your sole aside It'll turn out nice again It's only money in the end Run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run
