Stand on the left
Stand on the right
Inspect the ranks
Get ready for the fight
I stand on the mountain
A cloud against the sky
Rain down a hail of fire and blood, Lord,
burning out your eyes
I am Crom
God of the strong
Call my name next time you ask
why we can't get along
bridge (4x)
The battlefield is scattered
With the bodies of the slain
Both sides have fallen
beneath my deadly rain
I sold you shields
I sold you blades
I roll around in a pile of gold
while you all dig your graves
I am Crom
God of the strong
Call my name next time you ask
why we can't get along….

She Did Not Know

Just a sweet young thing, out on the scene
All she wants to do is smoke some green
She did not want to smoke alone
So she passed the bong, now it's all gone,
poor thing!
She did not know, she did not know
She did not know, she did not know
She did not know the bong was cashed
Sat right down and smoked the ash
She did not even think to ask
She did not know, poor thing!
Her eyes are blue, the trees are blonde
Look to the sky, reload the bong
You got to give her what she needs
Don't be stingy, share the weed
Yeah, babe
She did not know, she did not know
She did not know, she did not know
She did not know the bong was cashed
Sat right down and smoked the ash
She did not even think to ask
She did not know, poor thing!
She kept on pulling
She kept on pulling
She kept on pulling
Cause she just don't know
She kept on pulling
She kept on pulling
She kept on pulling
Cause she just don't know

The things I said to you
They all turned out to be true
Now I take your hand
As we walk this blasted land
you know that we're living in hell, but we're living well
And all around us plays a scene
Of v ictory gin, and soylent green
You better get out
You better get out while you can
You better get out
The black flood's coming
You better get out
You better get out while you can
You better get out
The black flood's coming
The black flood's coming
The black flood's coming
The things I said to you
They all turned out to be true
As I take your hand
You have to ask, what kind of man
would take you down, take you to the promised land
And while the clowns keep up the show
There's really nowhere else to go
You better get out
You better get out while you can
You better get out
The black flood's coming
You better get out
You better get out while you can
You better get out
The black flood's coming….

Here I am, sitting in a tree
Feeling sun and being free
Some old man in an uncool van
comes running after me
Try to run
Try to hide
Feel a shot
sting me inside
Legs stop moving
and I know
that I am going for a ride
On the pad, getting ready to shoot
Wrapped in a plastic monkey suit
Some hot chick in a white lab coat
says that I look real cute
Well they throw me
In a tin can
And everything
goes black
Hear 'em counting
and I know
that I ain't never, ever coming back
Through the stars I fall for days
Planets colored out of phase
Shattered soul and scattered mind
all across space and time
From the mountains
of Venus
To the canyons
on Mars
Well my head
starts to explode
And oh my God, it's full of stars….

Rust

put love inside your heart
put love inside your heart
and you'll get what's coming to you
yeah you'll get what's coming to you
your heart is full of lust
your blood is full of rust
and rust is the color of love
yeah rust is the color of love
the rust will flow and heat
and leave your heart complete
and then you'll become as new
yeah then you'll become as new

Saving Throw

Wake up, wake up, raise your swords!
There's a gibbering mouther upon us.
Keep your heads, we dare not let
His confusion overcome us.
Cast your spells and shield your eyes
Lest his spittle fly and blind you.
Heed the cleric's final words:
He dies trying to remind you.
In the deepest Underdark
Live flayers of the mind,
Feeding on the living brains
Of those not of their kind.
Dungeon caves are full of slaves,
Mentally bereft.
Spells are cast, psionic blast,
And just one hope is left.
Legend tells of an ancient lich
Ensconced within his keep.
Under curse of eternal night
Where the undead never sleep.
The swinging open of his steely gates
Calls him to the fight.
Drawing near the lich spreads fear
And the bravest men take flight.

That little man
inside my head
he tells me what to do, yeah
he tells me what to do
That little man
inside my head
he tells me what to do, yeah
he tells me what to do
He says I gotta work
and he says I gotta think
and he tells me not to break down
tells me not to break down
He says I gotta work
and he says I gotta think
but sometimes.... yeah, sometimes….
I say….
Well I tried tin foil
and I tried a lot of drugs
but he keeps on talkin
he just keeps on talkin
He says I gotta work
and he says I gotta think
sometimes I break down
sometimes I break down
sometimes I break down....

Cross the mountains, and the rivers
And the desert's burning sands
I sent armies, I sent serpents
And I pillaged across the land
I killed prophets, I killed virgins
I killed wizards, warriors, priests
All to have you, and to hold you
And to pray for my release
Stonebringer, Stonebringer
Heart black as coal
You took my soul
And you left me cold
Stonebringer, Stonebringer
When your fire glows
Turn a man from king to God, to demon, then to smoke
Great Bong of power
I hold you in my hand
Imprisoned no longer
In the body of a man
The skull of the Devil
Will be set inside my ring
I ascend the throne of God
And I hear the angels sing
Stonebringer, Stonebringer
Heart black as coal
You took my soul
And you left me cold
Stonebringer, Stonebringer
When your fire glows
Turn a man from king to God, to demon, then to smoke
