I have led you here to tell you
What the world has left for me
As i stare into the future
I know nothing is for free

The people we affect
There's a movement we detect
Never ready for God to use,
We never win unless we lose
I know until that final day
Streets of gold along the way
Never listen to the lies
We dispise what they say

I can feel no pain
The feeling still remains
As we walk the road together

Every night I see the vision
What this world has left for me
All the questions left unaswered
I know nothing is for free

Never walk until you crawl
Lift your spirits, one and all
Hold your head up to the sky
Never laugh til we cry
I know until that final day
Streets of gold along the way
Never listen to the lies
We dispise what they say

Will you stay with me?
Will it cease to be
As we walk the road together?

You have stood with me
It has ceased to be
We have walked the road together

I don't care if it's Paris
New Orleans or Peru
I'm gonna keep on searching
Til I get to You
I'll dive the deepest oceans
Climb the highest mountains too
Going to keep on searching
Til I get to You

I don't care if it's Paris
New Orleans or Peru
I'm gonna keep on searching
Til I get to You
I'll dive the deepest oceans
Climb the highest mountains too
Going to keep on searching
Til I get to You

I'm going to hunt You down
I'm going to hunt You til the day I die
I want to track You down
I'm going to hunt You til the day I die
I'm going to hunt You down
I'm going to hunt You til the day I die
I won't rest until You're found
I'm going to hunt You til the day I die

I don't care if I'm breathless
And my face is turning blue
I'm going to keep on searching
Until i get to You
My search is so relentless
Looking for the truth
I'm going to keep on searching
Until I get to You

I don't care if I'm breathless
And my face is turning blue
I'm going to keep on searching
Until i get to You
My search is so relentless
Looking for the truth
I'm going to keep on searching
Until I get to You

I'm going to hunt You down
I'm going to hunt You til the day I die
I want to track You down
I'm going to hunt You til the day I die
I'm going to hunt You down
I'm going to hunt You til the day I die
I won't rest until You're found
I'm going to hunt You til the day I die

You try to make me comfy,
Make my life seem ok
You try to tell me something
To make my life go astray
You want to make me happy 
"God bless the American way"
You want to treat me classy
God curse the American way

You try to tickle my ear
And tell me that I like it
You try to tickle my throat
Just before you slice it

I don't want you to tickle me
I don't want to fall
I don't want you to tickle me
I don't want you at all

You know how to make me clueless
How to keep my mind off judgment day
You try to keep me useless
And pacify my life away
You want me dumb and happy
Gotta live the American way
You want to make me at ease
And so I live the American way

You try to tickle my ear
And tell me that I like it
You try to tickle my throat
Just before you slice it

I don't want you to tickle me
I don't want to fall
I don't want you to tickle me
I don't want you at all

You try to tickle my ear
And tell me that I like it
You try to tickle my throat
Just before you slice it

I don't want you to tickle me
I don't want to fall
I don't want you to tickle me
I don't want you at all

It makes me sick, to seee you in my face
It plases me to put you in your place
You speak to me, but your words are lies
You think I agree with your compromise?

Darkness wrapped in plastic
Every thing so drastic
Darkness wrapped in plastic
And you still don't see it
(it makes me sick)

Appearances seem so impeccable
Eternal youth is respectable
Mechanical actions are lifeless
The end results are priceless

Darkness wrapped in plastic
Every thing so drastic
Darkness wrapped in plastic
And you still don't see it
(it makes me sick)

Darkness wrapped in plastic
Every thing so drastic
Darkness wrapped in plastic
And you still don't see it
(it makes me sick)

Every time I think I know the answers
Every time I think I know whats real
Every time I think I know what matters
Something inside me I start to feel

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

Let the dust settle, and go away
Let the dust settle, just walk away
Let the dust settle, and go away
Let the dust settle, just walk away

So very different, to not let go
Too much dissension for us to grow
I know you and what you want for me
I'm not your slave so set me free

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

Let the dust settle, and go away
Let the dust settle, just walk away
Let the dust settle, and go away
Let the dust settle, just walk away

From the days of the tribes to the modern times
Never been how the other people lied
Betrayed with a judas kiss from the inside
Struck down, punched with a fist so you don't resist

We question why, condemned to die
Cut-ta-ho-tha
A simple lie, condemned to die
Cut-ta-ho-tha
Our words defy, condemned to die
Cut-ta-ho-tha

Does it matter when dreams are smashed in hate
Can it lead to a man's wicked twist of fate
Do you know of a tale of a broken man?
Why did his execution come as planned?

We question why, condemned to die
Cut-ta-ho-tha
A simple lie, condemned to die
Cut-ta-ho-tha
Our words defy, condemned to die
Cut-ta-ho-tha

Your lies and hypocrisy make me ill
Your religious democracy, i can't deal
I try to stand but you knock me down
Everywhere i land is the burning ground

These thorns and nails are killing me
You stand and cheer and watch me bleed
Though I claim that I've been freed
Now all this pain is what I need..these thorns

Try your conviction on mhy soul
You offer me solutions to make me whole
These thorns and nails are forever bound
Every time i wear them i wear them like a crown

These thorns and nails are killing me
You stand and cheer and watch me bleed
Though I claim that I've been freed
Now all this pain is what I need..these thorns

Do you know my name
Will you be the same
Will you play this game
Can you feel my pain


These thorns and nails are killing me
(everywhere is burning ground)
You stand and cheer and watch me bleed
(everywhere is burning ground)
Though I claim that I've been freed
(everywhere is burning ground)
Now all this pain is what I need..these
(everywhere is burning ground)thorns

So many evil images dancing on the screen
So many people crying at this horrific scene
To awake a sleep giant, awake him from the grave
Welcome self destruction, serving freedom's slave

I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up, i don't want to wake up
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
It's the real world that makes me scream
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up, I don't want to wake up
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up to reality

Random acts of violence, shown for the world to see
So much screaming silence living in this misery
Prey upon the innocent, proclaiming deity
The dream is now a nightmare in the land of the free

I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up, i don't want to wake up
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
It's the real world that makes me scream
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up, I don't want to wake up
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up to reality

All I see, it's a dream
All I see, it's a dream
All I see, it's a dream
All I see, it's a dream

I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up, i don't want to wake up
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
It's the real world that makes me scream
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up, I don't want to wake up
I've landed in the middle of a nightmare
I don't want to wake up to reality

Nothing's what I've asked you for,
I've got it all by myself,
Everything is beautiful,
It's a lie that I tell myself

I don't know what to do,
Will I make it through?
Eternal compromise
Drown in liquid Christ
I don't know what to do,
Will I make it through?
Drown in liquid Christ
Drown in liquid Christ

Everything is really clear
Now (that) my eyes are shaded gray
It is You (that) I used to fear
Now I change you to my ways

I don't know what to do,
Will I make it through?
Eternal compromise
Drown in liquid Christ
I don't know what to do,
Will I make it through?
Drown in liquid Christ
Drown in liquid Christ

Can you see thru this disguise?
Can you read between these lines?
Do you know what dwells inside?
The thoughts that are in my mind?

I don't know what to do,
Will I make it through?
Eternal compromise
Drown in liquid Christ
I don't know what to do,
Will I make it through?
Drown in liquid Christ
Drown in liquid Christ
