1. 20 Tongues 5:08
Run your mouth
Brothers, sisters watch your back
Knives are coming down from the mouths of family
Put down, let down, let die through these lies
Broken I stand unreconciled
Submissive resistance amputation of a helping hand
Gossip, gossip, gossip
Pride comes before your fall
Who do you think of when you're running your mouth?

Your friends, they tell me every word that you say
Good thing I have you to tell my story for me
Your reflection stands shattered
Our trust is broken
Your finger points right back at you
When your words are so many sin is close by
Driven by anger, driven by anger

Brothers, sisters watch your back
Knives are coming down from the mouths of family
Put down, let down, let die through these lies
Broken I stand unreconciled
Submissive resistance amputation of a helping hand
Gossip, gossip, gossip

Pride comes before your fall
Caught in hatred, caught in anger, when will this stop?
Who do you think of when you're running your mouth?

2. Breed 5:06
Pride yourself unholy one, never grasp the throne of God
Receive your fate you prideful pig, forever you will not win

I will not be deceived
I will not give into your temptation
I am bought by the Blood of Jesus
The power of heaven protects me
Meaningless to me is blasphemies
You say I am weak (by Christ I'm made strong)
Denying temptation (through God)

Sit at your throne of this world creating your patchwork of hate
Call me what you want, the truth remains the same
I am branded Christian

Immortal soul of mine fearing not this world
I am enslaved by no man
Remaining in my faith I do not stand alone
My spirit is willing
Falling to my knees, a servant unto Christ in this world of disease
Forever, eternal, standing by my Father's side
As I watch this world return to Sodom & Gomorrah
I hate to watch you fall
I bow down to only one God - Christ who died and arose
And to see you wallow in your shame and to deny His love and grace?
I hate to watch you fall

Pride yourself unholy one, never grasp the throne of God
Receive your fate you prideful pig, forever you know you will not win
Forget my past
In time you stand to question my faith
A continuing game of chasing your tail
I will not give into your clouded ways
And from this path my foot will never stray

I will not be deceived
I will not give into your temptation
I am bought by the Blood of Jesus
The power of heaven protects me
Meaningless to me is blasphemies

3. Swine 4:00
Standing breathless before the throne of Christ
Judgement has fallen, leaving you crying, why God why
Where is your savior?

Mindless follower
Bow to your altar of mockery, now it is time to face truth
You have been lied to constantly
Truth is in Christ, soon you will see

Your pagan religion is full of deception
You cannot conceive eternal damnation
Satan has led you away from redemption
The blood of the Son is your only salvation

Liar leading the weak to burn with you in hell
Lucifer you will lose, you were overthrown
Defeated since beginning
Your anger fueled with envy

God's perfect image you set out to destroy
But you're unsuccessful, your end is now approaching
Heed the prophecy, you were warned

4. Blinded 4:16
Overwhelming lust consumes my spirit
I have given into my own flesh
Corrupted, corrupted, corrupted, no longer

I beat my chest in disgust with my actions
Starting a battle, knowing I will fall
But return to you Lord, knowing my failure
The consequences of my actions have found me on my face
Defiling thoughts, intentions, numb to my conviction
I am weak, submitting to myself, my spirit stained
No more convictions, these thoughts remain impure

I beat my chest in disgust with my actions
Starting a battle, knowing I will fall
Blinded, I must cut myself from this flesh
Blinded, separate myself from this sin
Blinded, rise above my shame
Blinded, this will not triumph over me

Defiling thoughts, intentions, numb to my conviction
I am weak, submitting to myself, my spirit stained
No more convictions, these thoughts remain impure

The act is still the same without your physical involvement
Selfish intentions forced upon her purity (lost)
How can you allow her to bleed for you

Blinded, I must cut myself from this flesh
Blinded, separate myself from this sin
Blinded, rise above my shame
Blinded, this will not triumph over me

5. Religious Infamy 5:03
Your individual erodes, doing, saying what you're told
Perception of reality is destroyed
Blinded submission, consumption with reason, brainwashed, corrupted and controlled

Oppressed slaves to your aggression, driven
Absolute control is a must
The life you once knew, imagination, victims of one enemy
New is all you know, old is forgotten

Religious infamy, turn away, it will set you free
Bonded by hate, break the chains of your spiritual state
What you seek is the truth, in the darkness nothing is pure
Once you see what they hide, you are the one they truly despise

Born again into a life without conformity
Innocent lives brought into strife imbed impurity
The planted seeds, its roots will grow in which by means to feed
Uplift the roots, regain your soul, declare your right to live
To fit Scripture, in the end will be their own demise
False religion I despise, new age never fastens its grip on me
Predictions of falsehood, wallow in the flames
As you watch your false prophets die
I will never leave my doctrine
The truth shall set you free
Fallow unto me, there is truth in my deception
False reality, truth surfaced, need for correction

Religious infamy, turn away, it will set you free
Bonded by hate, break the chains of your spiritual state
What you seek is the truth, in the darkness nothing is pure
Once you see what they hide, you are the one that they truly despise

6. Strength 4:20
Take me up from this world, can't you see the hurting inside?
How you allow him, to defile my person
Invite infelicity and this world it tries to weaken my faith
But you are my strength in this world of ignorance
Blinded by sin, I question your motives
Leaving myself to abhorrent ways
This devil is beaten, I decollate your servants
Sword of the Spirit

I will defy you

Lord you are so faithful with me everyday
Your heart forever graceful, assurance of victory
In my heart and should no dominion
The path that Christ walked I choose to live
Death is swallowed up in victory
My faith in God

I will not shudder
I choose to walk the way that Christ did
Lord you are so faithful with me everyday
Your heart forever graceful, assurance of victory

7. Golgotha 5:32
Up on the cross, dying for sins, fulfilling prophecy
Beaten for His faith, praying for enemies upon sacrifice
Forsaken in the eyes of God, sins of man to Him were taken
Innocent and blameless, death without purity

Place of the skull, Golgotha, death of the Son
Descend into misery, His death to bring us life
Covered in the Blood, supreme sacrifice, bridging the gap
Between God and man
Flesh torn, humility
Blood flows purely from the Cross of Calvary
Defying Death rose from the grave to show it is finished
To show all before the ascension to empyrean
Atoning is the Blood of Jesus Christ
Give in to Him, live in the Blood of Christ
He rose, He rose, He rose, He rose, He rose

Resurrection

8. Carnival Chair 4:35
Prey your eyes from the deformity, God make them see
Laughter ringing in my head, God make them see
I am not weak (if our spirits were meant to walk)
I am not weak (which one of you would take this chair)
You wouldn't

Why do you keep staring at me?
Your judgement is hurting
Whispering your condemnation
Accept me, God made me
Tearing me down must build you up
I don't think so, I don't think so
I will walk again hand-in-hand with my Father

Look at me, look at me through these eyes
I can see, I can see you staring at me
With a heart not willing to understand

Carousel is me beneath your feet frowned upon
I am the show, I am the game, so come and play
With my emotions, guilt-ridden conscience
Receive your prize, guilt-ridden conscience
Quiet, stay quiet

Carousel is me beneath your feet frowned upon
I am the show, I am the game, so come and play
With my emotions, guilt-ridden conscience
Receive your prize, guilt-ridden conscience

9. Embrace 4:43
I am left here, my memories are haunting my every thought
I see her frail womb stripped of its innocence
The measure of judgement I long to carry out
I feel so helpless
Not my will but yours God

I can hear you laughing, your perspective comments
Disrespecting my love, disrespecting my love, disrespecting my love

Headlines read victim of rape found this morning no life in her
Is this happening? Is this happening? Is it her? No God, no God

Your thoughts become reality
Your actions unbelievable
I wish I was there to help her
My love pours out for her
My love pours out for her
My love pours out for her
My love pours out for her

On my knees, here I lay for you God, build within my strength
Take this cup from me God, I cannot bear it
Transform my hatred into your love
Why must I love them, because you loved them God
I embrace you (her), I embrace them
Unsilence my forgiveness through the word I can clearly see
You love them as you love me
Why can't I see?

10. Religious Infamy (Demo Version) 5:18
Your individual erodes,
Doing, saying what you're told
Perception of reality is destroyed
Blinded submission, consumption with reason, brainwashed, corrupted and controlled

Oppressed slaves to your aggression, driven
Absolute control is a must
The life you once knew, imagination, victims of one enemy
New is all you know, old is forgotten
Religious infamy, turn away, it will set you free
Bonded by hate, break the chains of your spiritual state
What you seek is the truth, in the darkness nothing is pure
Once you see what they hide, you are the one they truly despise

Born again into a life without conformity
Innocent lives brought into strife imbed impurity
The planted seeds, its roots will grow in which by means to feed
Uplift the roots, regain your soul, declare your right to live
To fit Scripture, in the end will be their own demise
False religion I despise, new age never fastens its grip on me
Predictions of falsehood, wallow in the flames
As you watch your false prophets die
I will never leave my doctrine
The truth shall set you free

Fallow unto me, there is truth in my deception
False reality, truth surfaced, need for correction
Religious infamy, turn away, it will set you free
Bonded by hate, break the chains of your spiritual state
What you seek is the truth, in the darkness nothing is pure
Once you see what they hide, you are the one that they truly despise

1. Winter Kiss 3:33
Lobby lines with stairs
Rebuke the structure
Kiss on the hand
Fades to God's will

I would kill to see your face

Lady in red
Watch you surroundings
I'm going out on a limb

I would kill to see your face

Three weeks of torture brought me here

Pass the moons
Reject friendly envy
More on desire than principal
Wish you here...

2. Pendulum 3:41
There's a hitch in the step
The tower is leading
Grown a thousand years in a single heartbeat
Ripped and torn at the seams

And he falters to his knees
Clutching hands while in her dreams
Sitting on weakness so that strength can stand
Look to the future, caressing the name, angels are watching, spreading their wings

Rest, my love, ride on the wings of sacred prayers
Aided by angelic force
Ripped and torn at the seams

3. One Less Addiction 5:55
I fight this with two closed fists
Under a purple sky
Naked trees are clawing for the air
This won't pull on emotions
But it's something to do
Go ahead, try it
If you dislike, refunds at the door
I always fell for the sucker punch

I confess the changes
Maybe I'm growing up
From the shoes on my feet
To the stench in my mouth
I'll remain transparent

And while you speak in codes, I'll speak in spirit

I tasted, I did that, now I'm hooked

4. Greedy Hands 5:29
Leave me greedy hands
Destroyer of hopes and dreams
Young Judas, fall away
Disrupt my silence
Just sit back and be an American

It's gone, my innocence

Fresh meat, children
Swallow those close

It's gone, my innocence

Thief in the night
Do you even remember my name

It's gone, my innocence

5. Confessions 4:30
Call me consumer
The entertainment hunter
I bit the hook
That I will never be good enough

I'm catching up to those around me
Secure my uniform
Babbet, I could use a kiss
They said I'm insecure

There's nothing new under the sun

Fall in line, fall in line
Believe the lie in hair clubs, fashion, gyms, cleansers and creams
One day we'll be the status quo

There's nothing new under the sun

6. Assembly Line Humans 3:52
Assembly line, humans pumped with lies
Line them up, load them tight
Packed like cigarettes
A new committee to breed lukewarm souls

Get off my back (please)
Swallow your pride and gag
Harriet Tubman, will you set the captives free for the underground?

Take long drags on yourself
With cracker-jack poses and smiles
Another snubbed beneath your toe

Get off my back (please)
Swallow your pride and gag
Harriet Tubman, will you set the captives free for the underground?

7. Prelude 3:42
Let the hands fall to the floor
Allow these pupils to see organs
A telescopic view is almost arousing
No more holiness in denial
The Trojan army is just a force
Reality is two week in the waiting

I'm not sure we're on the same page

Habitual weakness stains the past
Desire rolls over and waits for spring

I'm not sure we're on the same page

Your eyes are lusting, my hands are tied
Your mind conditioned, my heart has changed

I'm not sure we're on the same page

8. Killing The Me In Me 3:57
Give a word of fragile optimism that this will be okay
Bore down on gluttonous hands, regurgitated thoughts from my heart

This can only be the going under
This can only be killing the me in me

Push and pull like the machines
The humans anthems are dying in me
I don't think a soul knows compromise like a soulmate

It sleeps with me

In my flesh I ask for a personal bleeding
The Holy Ghost has word with me

It comes in love, it comes with gentle hands that disinfect the sting for me

A whole is filled without the ring
Instead a kiss, a kiss from the sun to try again

9. Critical Error 3:53
Casualties of a non-war
Shooting themselves in the feet
Let me pray before you crush my heart

And you swear that you do this in God's name
Stifling the Psalms of the heart

Take your hands off my throat, let me breathe
I'm suffocating
You slash my wrist
Gave me a network
And devoured my art
Broadcast worldwide healing those for a price

And you swear that you do this in God's name
Stifling the Psalms of the heart

Casualties of a non-war
Shooting themselves in the feet
Let me pray before you crush my heart
Let me breathe

10. Ballad 3:27
Drench me in kisses
Your breath consumes my pores
Leave my heart in one
I swallow sunsets day by day
Media makes me ill
Previous desires have been slain
'Cause all I want is you

Your presence makes me child-like
My soul's at heaven's gate
My curfew turns to stone
This repetition kills me
Oh, please don't scorch my heart
I'm at a loss for words
Please let this rose
Speak for me

I love you, I need you, I want you

You give me strength to live
I feel like I'm ten feet tall
Forget thoughts of closure
An addict for your love
A diamond is forever
As well my love for you
Your face invades my dreams

Please be my wife

11. One Less Addiction (Acoustic) 4:06
I fight this with two closed fists
Under a purple sky
Naked trees are clawing for the air
This won't pull on emotions
But it's something to do
Go ahead, try it
If you dislike, refunds at the door
I always fell for the sucker punch

I confess the changes
Maybe I'm growing up
From the shoes on my feet
To the stench in my mouth

I'll remain transparent

And while you speak in codes, I'll speak in spirit

I tasted, I did that, now I'm hooked

12. Aftermath Of Closure 6:19
Step into the circle
Brush the tears away
Find joy in completion
I've fulfilled my vow

It's all be said, but chew on this

I offered my heart
The family is waiting
We'll now give thanks, have you been through this?

It's all been said, but chew on this

Some may fall to the wayside
Forget nameless monkeys
Our soul's always moving
Icons we'll be

It's all been said, but chew on this

1. Yours Truly 3:31
I want to know you're broken for the path you've chosen
I want to know you're reaping what you have sown
And I'll give you more than you've ever wanted
Faithful forever, with these words I promise

You want it, you got it - it's all for real

I want to know you're breathing for the day of morrow
I want to know you'll suffer to rest in peace
And I've given more than you've ever wished for
Forever faithful, with these words I promise

You want it, you got it - it's all for real

It's all for real - let it go

2. Belly Up 3:32
Ghost dancer, I hear you
Circle my heart in yours
I'm seeking your presence
In hope of dreams come true
On subways, train stations
I'll save the night for you
You're acting, role-playing
And swimming in my head

You'll burn me down
A wish away
You've burned me down

I'll travel forever
In you I'll find my home
And silence is broken
Your name has found my tongue
These moments of madness
Have turned my joy to shame

You'll burn me down
A wish away
You've burned me down

3. Decade 4:24
In the right moment she feels him teething
Burn the pictures of days gone by
Trade this moment for passing pleasure
End the hour with even scores

In the right moment the candles burning
Hide the question in one more thought
With submission you find devotion
Save my soul with sudden good-byes

Falling...

In the right moment the dial tone comforts
Find your peace beneath tainted sheets
Exchange values for self-indulgence
Cross your heart with fleeting dreams

Falling...

Judges feasting on shame
Sever passions on end
Children weeping for one
Vacant, denied

In the right moment the story's ending
Try your soul on another page
And time opens your best kept secrets
Plead the fifth now before you lie

In the right moment you play you
In the right moment you slay you
In the right moment you sell you
In the right moment I save you

A decade late...

4. K-9 3:11
Hold this sanity within your hands
Demons tease and migrate, soar on wings
But you ,my guardian angel, pull me through

Stay, darling - giving up, giving in, kiss your lover

Nylon barricades and window soul
Red cross meetings daily ground this root
Clever thoughts like you and me make us

Stay, darling - giving up, giving in, kiss your lover

Stay - I'll find you home - be not far from me

Roll the stone, the sun has brought the day
Cradle nothing in the arms of peace
Break time, lather, ointments aren't healing

5. Set The Stage 4:32
You found me

Once again ground into spores
Your lipstick matches your dark intentions
Pull off the script for a time
For spotlight banners will soon be dawning
And now the curtain will rise

You found me

I let you go...you're on

Tomorrow hinges on words
Taste, touch, and tease your way through the door
Court jesters fall to their graves
Fair maiden, exit the scene of my world
And now the curtain will fall

You found me

I let you go...you're on

6. Heaven In A Letter Bomb 2:38
Take it away and flaunt it

I fed your body
You robbed my home
You'll stop for coffee
I'll leave you bones

Take it away and flaunt it

I played your game

I called you brother
You chained my hope
You'll send a letter
I'll take your throne

I played your game

Take it away and flaunt it

7. Season's End 3:38
Send me over...taste the day
Blink in fragments...and gone away
Captured moments...hold the frame

Mold me, build me, lead me on

I'm only growing older

Bond through body...for all days
Scars are stories...read the pain
Joy and sorrow...with the sun
Thanks forever...to the grave

Mold me, build me, lead me on

I'm only growing older

8. Binge And Purge 2:52
He found a wrist and cut his meter
Mary sings only sweet and low
Blow a kiss for headstone martyrs

Taking the blame - I'm letting go, I knew that I'd give in

Bring the ax upon their notions
Paper money is your soul
Break the chains, the rope is swinging

Taking the blame - I'm letting go, I knew that I'd give in

I'm fasting, you're cheating, turn me over

A thousand times good-bye, be lonely
A caffeine rush for tears of joy
I'll carve the beef and spare you later

9. Moving On 4:05
You let me go...warmly
Turned my back...growing
And setting out...boldly

I'm making up for lost time
Coming home

And I swear it's true
I need you

So take me back...hoping
Abandon ship...learning
Drop my guns...open
Tear my core...broken

I'm making up for lost time
Coming home

Don't break my neck
Hold your own

Drink in deep, cherish breath, moving on

And I swear it's true
I need you

And you swear it's true
We're never through
Build this up...stronger
Hold you close...always

10. Cruise Control 3:50
You're running on empty
Biding your time
Slowly drifting
I'll forget to smile

Fade away

No one's grieving
We'll go our way

You're losing direction
And stoning your friends
Be strong, traitor
I'm turning you off

1. Reaching Out 4:07
Plain as day the industry was starving
I'll light your flame
Turn away and leave the prize to others
I'm on may way

Set me up
Pave my way
I'm reaching out

Make a change, the masses live in static
I'll ring your bell
For all the times they gave it up for nothing
I'll have my say

Set me up
Pave my way
I'm reaching out

Hear this, hear this, hear this...I want it more than love
It's golden, golden, golden...where the road ends up
Hold it, hold it, hold it...savor what you taste
Don't waste it, waste it, waste it...dare to live
Give your all, build your dreams, kill your fears

Set me up
Pave my way
I'm reaching out

2. She's There 4:00
I'm giving up on heart conditions
And loath the days of expectation
She only visits for a second
And leaves a nightmare for my soul
I prayed that God would end this torture
But now I fear to shut my eyes

But in my head she's there
I kick myself, recall her name
But in my head I know
She wanted me but I'm alone

I only dwell on former glories
Relive the best days of my life
But refused to take her offer
She wept and somehow found the door

But in my head she's there
I kick myself, recall her name
But in my head I know

She wanted me but I'm alone
She's in my head...and I'll bring you home, clean all my mistakes
What's done is done, and it goes on and on and on


3. Golden Rule 3:41
Help me, I've left a woman scorned
Stay out, another chore undone
Know this, I'm fading from your touch
I'm hopeless, my conscious weighs me down
I'm leavin', I'm cheatin'
And what comes around goes around
Draw back, and let the loss sink in
Hold on, and fish amongst the sea
And tied down, it's hard to be content
And bail out, the finger points at you
I'm leavin', I'm cheatin'
And what comes around goes around
I'm not your enemy...we just fell out
I'm not your enemy...I found new blood
Hold back your emotions
Speak with reason
Turn on the lights
Put down the knife
We can resolve this
I'm leavin', I'm cheatin'
And what comes around goes around

4. Time 3:21
For every word you say
And all the moments wasted
I'm finding out you're made for me
With every look I catch
And truth that is unspoken
I'm praying that you miss me
I'm nearly dead since you departed
And I wait for you, I wait for you and you said
Time is all we have before us
Hold our moments and don't turn away
I'm going out on faith
And bringing my devotion
You can trust I won't shame you
I'm nearly dead since you departed
And I wait for you, I wait for you and I said
Time is all we have before us
Hold our moments and don't turn away
And right away I knew we could make it
'Cos we're living and learning
And sacrifice tells us what we're gaining
In losing and taking
I'm holding out for the one that loved me
Forever no playing
And in a way they could say we're crazy
For hoping and praying
I'll wait for you
Time is all we have before us
And hold our moments
And don't turn away

5. Who's To Blame 4:24
It's your bleeding heart
And selling so well
An hour too late
Too much time to kill
And forcing your tears
And milking the pain
And raking it in, the sin
And I already know there's one chance around
And the record shows you wanna make the grade
And the word is out you sold your soul today
And I already know
Stick out your chest, the masses await
A white collar side show
The auction begins
They'll tickle your ear
And give you the grin
And it's a shame, who's to blame
And I already know there's one chance around
And the record shows you wanna make the grade
And the word is out you sold your soul today
And it's over...
If you and I could find a way to make it right I'd go
But here we stand with troubled minds and empty hands
Let it pass, let it pass

6. Don't Go 3:45
Turn me up, get it on, I was yours, I was your man
But not in your hands
Pull away, take it back, break your vow, call on my name
I've gone astray
Lead me on, kiss my face, play my card, show me your way
'Cos I understand
Take it off, spill your guts, lay it down, walk in my shoes
'Cos I'm in your hands
And I'll roll your way
You have my heart in your hands - don't go
We've come too far, hold on now - 'cos I want you
Turn away, hide your face, show your spine and be a man
You know what I mean
Clean the page, share the view, be a doll, call me tonight
I'm here by the phone
Roll the dice, take a chance, live your life outside your box
And come to my world
Make a fist, come aboard, bitter the taste in your mouth
But that's how it goes
And you rolled my way
You have my heart in your hands - don't go
We've come too far, hold on now - 'cos I want you
Say you'll stay, make my day - don't go
Say you're mine for all time - 'cos I want you
Our souls will grow
We'll carry on

7. Segue Station 3:09
Turn the lights out, hard ties out and grope
Feed the body, break your oath and float
I'm tired of dying for you
And chatting with your ghost
No, you don't need it
No, you should fight it
No, you don't need it...no
Bite the bullet, sear your flesh and blow
Take the ransom, don't look back and run
She's tired of dancing for you and filling up your cup
No, you don't need it
No, you should fight it
No, you don't need it...no
Close your eyes
Seal your grave
Turn the lights out, hard ties out and grope
Feed the body, break your oath and float
I'm tired of dying for you
And chatting with your ghost
And no...

8. It's Alright 3:49
Push the child into the wheel
Make your memories long
Take the leap into the space
Don't look back in fear
Now hear my voice
Baby, I made it and it's alright
And I don't want it to end
Chase your prize on through the grave
Live beyond your dreams
Seize the day and ride the wave
Claim your destiny
Now here my voice
Baby, I made it and it's alright
And I don't want it to end
I reached beyond tall fables
Vultures by my window
Camera flashes daily
Caught in the glare
Welcome home! Welcome home!
Baby, I made it and it's alright
And I don't want it to end

9. White Flag 4:37
I had a feelin' we're losing
And there was a reason, treason - denial
I had a feelin' they're waiting...they're waiting
Raising up our hands
White flag high
In a day you can say you own it
Draw the line and define your behavior
I'm not like you, I won't be you
Analyze all the lies you're promoting
I had a feelin' we're cheatin'
One has to make it, take it, or prove it
I had a feelin' it's over
Raising up our hands
White flag high
In a day you can say you own it
Draw the line and define your behavior
I'm not like you, I won't be you
Analyze all the lies you're promoting
I'm not like you, I won't be you, I'm not like you
We're at the end, the final lap, it's so alarming
We made a case, turned a cheek, but who's responding
Tell the truth, don't delay, so are you buying?
Burn the bridge, take the loot, hit the target

10. Jaywalk 3:40
Clear your head one-time friend of mine
She's cold blue and no skin
Whisper prayers and make amends
No promises to brak
Kiss my face and deny my name
Once you were my own
Close your eyes and resist the view
And throw your cares away
I called your name, come, come my way
I blocked your face, come my way
Take the night to an open road
And choose your morbid fate
Raise the stakes to a higher plain
This is life or death
I called your name, come, come my way
