1.Black Spartacus Heart Attack Machine
'History's not made
By presidents or popes
Or kings or queens or generals
Or CIA kingpins runnin' dope
History's not made
By nine robed men
Or billionaires
It's not made by them
(Chorus)
Black Spartacus Heart Attack Machine (x3)
Might threw a little money 'round
Wonderin' who can be bought
Some might find they're weaker
Some stronger than they thought
Well I'll stand or fall right here
In my country, in my home
I ain't alone no more
(Chorus)
Hollow box
Steel string
Union made
Let freedom ring
Me and my people are hungry
Me and my people are through
Me and my people are ready
Me and my people are just about due
I'm a massive air strike on a beautiful night
Yeah this is my song I'm singin
Somebody better start countin
We're comin out and we're comin
Out swinging.'
2.Branding Iron
At the textile plant
There's sixteen dead
There's a hornet's nest
Inside my head
My daughter's gone
She won't be back
Behind chained doors
They burned to black
Parked down the street
From the convenience store
I been keepin' a secret
In my top dresser drawer
Red light flashin'
Siren comin' loud
The trap is sprung
I greet the crowd
I'm a thousand tornadoes
Screamin' cross the plains
I'm Gabriel's Horn
On Judgment Day
I'm months of darkness
I'm years of rain
God's branding iron
Bears my name
There is no tether
To hold me back
There is no answer
There is no path
There is no reason
There is no end
There's just regret
There's just revenge
Tonight the tower
Bells will chime
Clear and true
One final time
I'm a thousand tornadoes
Screamin' cross the plains
I'm Gabriel's Horn
On Judgment Day
I'm months of darkness
I'm years of rain
God's branding iron
Bears my name
I'm making a list
And checking it twice
You name the place
I name the price
If you're feelin' lucky
Then hold your breath
And wave goodbye
When nothing's left
Parked down the street
From the convenience store
I been keepin' a secret
I won't keep anymore
I'm months of darkness
I'm years of rain
God's branding iron
Bears my name.
3.Facing Mount Kenya
Black for the skin
Green for the land
Red for the blood
Steady freedom's hand
Alone with the wind
I am only one man
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
Brace for the day
Sing for the past
Listen to the memory
In the stone and grass
Who make the wind？
I'm only one man
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
It's time
On the big plantation
In the ghetto and slum
In the president's palace
In the Mau Mau drum
Wind gon' howl, I'm only one man
Wind gon' howl, I'm only one man
Wind gon' howl, I'm only one man
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
It's time
Facing Mount Kenya
Holding time
Facing Mount Kenya
It's time.
4.God Help Us All
I stood upon the platform
And waited for the train
The first stop was redemption
And the whistle called my name
God help us all
God help us all
God help us all
God help us all, we're sufferin'
God help us all, we're lost
God help us all, we're wanderin'
With no future and no hope
God help us all, we're sick
Of cryin' all these tears
God help us all
'Cause we are all that we feared
I stood among the faithful
And raised my banner high
I held my breath with wonder
In the cold October night
God help us all
God help us all
God help us all
God help us all, we're wanderin'
God help us all, we're lost
God help us all, we're sufferin'
With no future and no hope
God help us all, we're sick
Of cryin' all these tears
God help us all
'Cause we are all that we feared
They showed me on the TV
Above the ivy and the brick
My face glowed with salvation
But the light was playing tricks
And in the tomb like silence
I walked with my head down
Another broken spirit
In a broken-hearted town
God help us all
God help us all
God help us all
God help us all, we're sufferin'
God help us all, we're lost
God help us all, we're wanderin'
With no future and no hope
God help us all, we're sick
Of cryin' all these tears
God help us all
'Cause we are all that we feared.
5.It Begins Tonight
I'm red, I'm black, I'm city born
I'm faceless, nameless, right or wrong.
I'm fearless, hopeless. Sing my song.
Out go the lights,
It begins tonight.
On stage with borrowed angels soared,
In a crossword puzzle of stolen chords,
I'm alive but those I love are gone,
Let's move tonight and take the throne.
Out go the lights,
It begins tonight.
Oh lord it begins tonight,
Oh lord, oh lord, it begins tonight,
Oh lord, oh lord, it begins tonight,
Cell door clicks open I come alive.
Oh lord,
It begins tonight.
Looked just where you told me,
I never found a thing.
Yeah I see all the jewels,
Gold and diamonds glistening,
But man I aint listening.
Sun and moon and stone and mud,
A bottle of whiskey and a pint of blood,
I'll burn my way to the sea,
'til all the dead are all out free.
Out go the lights,
It begins tonight.
Oh lord, it begins tonight,
Oh lord, oh lord, it begins tonight,
Oh lord, oh lord, it begins tonight,
Cell door clicks open i come alive.
Oh lord,
It begins tonight.
6.Speak And Make Lightning
So, stand in line and state your name
The first one's sacred, the rest profane
Speak and make lightning and then confess
Her children rise up and call her blessed
Shards of bone scattered cross the clearing
The fears she had were well worth fearing
I'm pacing and worrying all night and day
Neither you nor your momma do a single thing I say
Speak and make lightning and it will pass
Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast
On an icy road north of Edmonton
Speak and make lightning friend, and it will come
I wanna kiss your cheek, I wanna hold you tight
But you took your pills and you're out tonight
Speak and make lightning, forget the rest
And enter the fields of the fatherless
I lost almost everything, so I'm almost free
I was trying to tell you, you wouldn't listen to me
I'm driving up the hill to a place others call my home
It's just where I go
Speak and make lightning and it will pass
Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast
Tell me how bad you really want it, son
Speak and make lightning and it will come
If you can't stand me, you'll hate my replacement
All my heroes are late with their payments
Speak and make lightning, remember my face
And spoil not my resting place
Line to the horizon, first man to last
On a warm autumn day I lay in the grass
The house is quiet, a silent wind
Love covers all sins
Speak and make lightning and it will pass
Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast
In the attic there's an old Gatling gun
Speak and make lightning friend, and it will come.
7.Stray Bullets
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
I I I sail away
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
Slide on down
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
What is lost
You gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on
Down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down
Me and Danny Lord and Steve
Were f＊ckin' drunk on New Year's Eve
Singin,' drinkin,' playin' guitars
Layin' 'round
We pulled the shotgun out the shed and
Fired it towards the heavens
Stray bullets rainin' on down
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
I I I sail away
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
Slide on down
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
What is lost
You gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on
Down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down
Back of an Ace uncovered truck
The captain laughed and said, 'Good luck'
As we rolled on through
Our first Iraqi town
From the rooftop we got blasted
Danny Lord's spine came unfastened
Stray bullets rainin' on down
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
I I I sail away
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
Slide on down
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
What was is lost
You gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on
Down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down
Fifteen months lost in Iraq
We got stop-lossed, they sent us back
Why the f＊ck we're even here I'll never know
Me and Steve, we went out walkin'
A few of us have started talkin'
And now we've got a mission of our own
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
I I I sail away
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
Slide on down
Woah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
What was is lost
You gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on
Down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down
Cause now we're comin' for the captain
To reap the seeds he's sewn
Everybody hit the deck
Cause his tent's about to blow
Tell the general when we find him
He'll be the next to go
Yeah, we're coming for the captain
And then we're going home
Wooah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
I I I sail away
Wooah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
Slide on down
Wooah oh oh
Ayy ee yay
What was is lost
You gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on
Down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down.
8.The Dogs Of Tijuana
We are the dogs of Tijuana
Filled with garbage and stones
In the streets and in the fields
Cursed and crushed beneath the wheels
But together we are strong
Our songs echo in the darkness
Down the machiladora's halls
Where Brother Solomon was tortured
The one tree in the orchard
Casts a shadow on the wall
The way is hard and long
But the dogs are coming home
We are the dogs of Tijuana
Left for dead in the ravine
In the arroyos and the valleys
The sewers and the alleys
We shiver and we dream
So, don't stop to ask directions
If you think you've lost your way
The wrath of the lion
Is the wisdom of God
And every dog has its day
The way is hard and long
But the dogs are coming home
We crossed the tin can cardboard slums
And to these pastures came
Into the hands of wicked men
Sold by the hands of strangers
There'll be no silver lining, friend
Of that I'm sure
So, shake my hand one last time
'Cause brother, this is war
We are the dogs of Tijuana
Watching every road into town
A rising sea without a shore
Right outside your door
So, why weep now？
The way is hard and long
But tonight we're coming home
We are the dogs of Tijuana
Howling in the night
The world will not end in fire
It will not end in ice
It will end when we arrive.
9.The Fifth Horseman Of The Apocalypse
Dead saint on my necklace
Whiskey in my hand
Razor in my pocket
Baby, I'm your man
I signed up to play and then it hit me
Got a nice leather jacket but it don't quite fit me
I welcomed back all those who quit me
But I'm leavin' tonight before they come and get me
Righteous men and scoundrels
Banded together to stop The Four
They burned witches, they pounded nails
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales
Slow resistance, I have seen it
Yeah, I said that too but I didn't mean it
The word is war, you did not dream it
You made the mess but I'm gonna clean it
Righteous men and scoundrels
Banded together to stop The Four
They burned witches, they pounded nails
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales
Jaw teeth as knives to snatch the greedy
And plead the cause of the poor and needy
Been savin' up to finally purchase
The courage to harm those who deserve it
Righteous men and scoundrels
Banded together to stop The Four
They burned witches, they pounded nails
Then The Fifth Horseman came and tipped the scales
I'm not there yet but I'm gettin' close
I eat gravel at the side of the road
I smell of blood and kerosene
What's rarely done is rarely seen.
10.The Whirlwind
From zero to sixty, and wanted two life times,
Can't find the criminal, just follow the pipeline
I sing for my supper, a fuel sanded shot
And pray the cannons will pound the guild I got
An army of grizzlies divide up the rest of us
The problem I have with the movie is just that, the cameras were
shaky
And just missed the blood bath
An ash covered highway …silent and froze
And I dreamed that ya' held me, it was me you were holdin'
I stood in the whirlwind of shrapnel and sawdust
Outside of the motel
And then it was just us
The borders are closin'
No one goes in or out
The assets all froze in sixteen swiss bank accounts
A red ragin' migraine
A fear of hegemony
I looked back, I hear the shot
My friend said “Wasn't me!”
How can you sit back and wait？!
The battle is ragin'
Hold on man, I'm comin'
Just straightenin' my cage first
Three-hundred closed caskets
A world famous symphony of angry ghosts singin'
And marchin' from wounded knee!
An ash covered highway …silent and froze
And I dreamed that ya' held me, it was me you were holdin'
I stood in the whirlwind of shrapnel and sawdust
Outside of the motel
And then it was just us
A colonial investment.. in steel or in iron
The natives are restless can't blame 'em for tryin'
The lightnin' blows through, the legion it enters
The hail it follows and smashes the center!
I sit 'round the table with strangers and friends,
My dad knows it's comin' but still, he pretends,
My brother, he smiles, reveals the secret
The step-mother shutters! She just can't believe it!
An ash covered highway …silent and froze
And I dreamed that ya' held me, it was me you were holdin'
I stood in the whirlwind of shrapnel and sawdust
Outside of the motel
And then it was just us
An ash covered highway …silent and froze
And I dreamed that ya' held me, it was me you were holdin'
I stood in the whirlwind of shrapnel and sawdust
Outside of the motel
And then it was just us
11.World Wide Rebel Songs
'Worldwide rebel songs
Sing out loud all night long
Hang on men it won't be long
Worldwide rebel songs
Worldwide rebel songs
Sing out loud all night long
Hang on men it won't be long
Worldwide rebel songs
From the alleys of Hariri
To tenements of London town
Where there's voices raised and barricaded
Believe me man I'm down
Pirates, blood suckers and bank men
Got us picking through the crumbs
Raise your voices all together
Motherfucka here we come
(Chorus)
From the hollowed pubs of Ireland
To Nairobi's fallen slums
In Korea open fire
With the guitar, bass and drums
Down in Gaza down in Frezno
Down to your door and down your street
Are you gonna stand around？
Or are you gonna be free？
Go!
(Chorus)
I was born here and I'll die here
You can't drive me away
Freedom's train has left the station
But it's pulling in today
We won't be coming home tonight love
The fight has just began
Raise your voices all together
Motherfucka here we come
One, two, three, four
(Chorus)
12.Save The Hammer For The Man
I hurt the gentlest souls, I robbed my wife and son
I turned my back on troubles, troubles I'd begun
I cut a swath of pain and loss in the hallways of my home
In the quiet of my room I know the things I've done
Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man
It's the calling of the wretched
It's the rising of the damned
Save the hammer for the man
I was driven from the city, in the wilderness I stand
In the cleansing rain in silence, I made my battle plan
Alone I marched towards freedom, leaving footprints across the
land
With the vow that's left unspoken, save the hammer for the man
Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man
You're never too far down the wrong road
To turn back and change your plan
Save the hammer for the man
I leaned against the hot and bothered wind beneath a hateful
rain
Politics, apocalypse start to look the same
For the pasts of my redemption will mean the end of many things
The ransom for my soul the blood of generals and kings
Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man
I sinned and I have suffered
And it feels good in my hands
Save the hammer for the man
I was driven from the city, in the wilderness I stand
In the cleansing rain in silence, I made my battle plan
I will whisper words of freedom, I will swing hard as I can
Lord knows the time has come and save the hammer for the man
Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man
If the fire's hot enough
Iron and steel will bend
Save the hammer for the man
Oh, save the hammer for the man
Gotta save the hammer for the man
I will whisper words of freedom, I'll swing hard as I can
Save the hammer for the man, for the man
I will whisper words of freedom
I'll swing hard as I can
