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

If you don't know where you're going You're scared of what you might find If you feel like an island Stuck inside a maze in your mind When you drown, I'll drown We started as a fever We turned into an ache that never goes And if I couldn't fix it I guess, well now you're better off alone When you drown, I'll drown And I know you'll fall in love again When you do, I hope you'll find somebody Who you can love like I love you And it happened piece by piece It happened just a little at a time And then the bruises started showing Joined up in neat little lines When you drown, I'll drown When you drown, I'll drown And I know you'll fall in love again When you do, I hope you'll find somebody Who you can love like I love you (You drown, you drown You drown, oh, you drown) And I know you'll fall in love again When you do, I hope you'll find somebody Who you can love like I love you

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
