21 Guns

Do you know what’s worth fighting for
When it’s not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide
Did someone break your heart inside?
You’re in ruins

When you’re at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Nothing’s ever built to last
You’re in ruins

One, 21 Guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 Guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I…

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it’s time to live and let die
And you can’t get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You’re in ruins

Restless Heart Syndrome

I’ve got a really bad disease
It’s got me begging on my hands and knees
So, take me to emergency
‘Cause something seems to be missing
Somebody, take the pain away
It’s like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
So send me to the pharmacy so I can lose my memory

I’m elated, medicated
Lord knows I tried to find a way to run away

I think they found another cure
For broken hearts and feeling insecure
You’d be surprised what I endure
What makes you feel so self-assured

I need to find a place to hide
You never know what could be waiting outside
The accidents that you could find
It’s like some kind of suicide

So what ails you, is what impales you
I feel like I’ve been crucified to be satisfied

I’m a victim of my symptom
I am my own worst enemy
You’re a victim of your symptom
You are your own worst enemy
Know your enemy

I’m elated, medicated
I am my own worst enemy
So what ails you is what impales you
You are your own worst enemy
You’re a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy
You’re a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy

Made of Scars

This one came from looking, this one opened twice
These two seemed smooth as silk, flush against my eyes
This one need stitches, and this one came from rings
This one isn’t even there, but I feel it more because you don’t care

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, because I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars

This one had it coming, this one found a vein
This one was an accident, but never gave me pain
This one was my father’s, and this one you can’t see
This one had me scared to death, but I guess I should be glad I’m not dead

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, because I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars

This one was the first one, this one had a vice
This one, here, I like to rub on dark and stormy nights
This one was the last one, I don’t remember how
But I remember blood and rain, and I never saw it coming again

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, because I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars
That’s what I’m made of

Let It Die

I’m a rockstar, I’m a dealer
I’m a servant, I’m a leader
I’m a saviour, I’m a sinner, I’m a killer
I’ll be anything you want me to be

Silent as a witness
Make your heart race with a death kiss
I’m a soldier in a blood war
In the peace corp, I am everything you’ll ever be

A loser, number zero
Play the victim, end up a hero
I’m a teacher, preacher
Liar, I am anything, everything

I’m a mover and a shaker
The oppressor, stimulator
I’m a coward, I’m a fighter
I’m everything
You are me, I am you

See Who Gives a Fuck

The blood’s on the wall
so you’d might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains
commit to forgetting it
You’re better off empty and blank
Than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

Console yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself

I’ll chain you to the truth
For the truth shall set you free
I’ll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I’ll make all your dreams come to life
And slay them as quickly as they came
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

Console yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you’re better alone
Destroy yourself

See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck

Cryin’ Like a Bitch

Strut on by like a king
Telling everybody they know nothing
And long live what you thought you were
And time ain’t on your side anymore

And so you tell me I
Can’t take my chances
But I told you one too many times
And you were crying like a bitch

I’m tougher than nails
I can promise you that
Step out of line
And you get bitch-slapped back
And you can run
Your little mouth all day
But the hand of god
Just smacked you back into yesterday

Blinded by your sacred faded past times
Only time is your enemy
Granted a second chance
To prove that your arrogance
Is stronger than you’ll ever be
Is stronger than you can be

And so you tell me I
Can’t take my chances
But I told you one too many times
And you were crying like a bitch

Oh, BITCH!

Father of the Wolf

So he found the heart in barren land
It was beating, still alive
He held it gently in his hand
And looked up to the sky

With evil thoughts of vicious kind
And sinister disdain
His thoughts of bringing back to life
The witch that died in flames

He then devoured Gullveig’s heart
And she was born again
They brought to life an evil force
A beast that can’t be tamed

With dark deception in his soul
Betrayal of the gods
The bane of Odin now is born
Born of evil blood

Serpent’s kin
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the wolf!

They brought to life a malicious force
A vile beast that cannot be tamed
Fimbultyr’s nemesis now is born
A vile beast that can’t be restrained

Dark! Deception is his Soul!
Betrayal of the gods!
Odin’s bane is born!
Born of evil blood!

Serpent’s kin
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the wolf

Deceiver of the Gods

Since I was born they have kept me down
They have forced me to conform
I will tear down their holy crown in a vengeful thunder storm

I loathe their bloody righteous ways
It fills me with despise
Fueling flames of violent rage
I will be their world’s demise

Asgard’s always been my home
But I’m of different blood
I will overthrow the throne
Deceiver! Deceiver of the gods

All this rage, and all this hate
It burns me deep inside
And still it is, the only thing, keeping me alive
Dark ambition within my heart and it’s aching to break free
The one true nature of my soul, the giant lives in me

Kneel, you all shall kneel to me
Or death will set you free
You all shall kneel to me
Fall, you all shall fall to me
Vengeance will be sweet
You all shall fall to me
