Lyrics

1.
Rock 'n' Roll Rebel
They couldn't see what I thought would be so obvious
They hide behind the laws they made for all of us
The ministry of truth that deals with pretense
The ministry of peace that sits on defense
I'm washing my hands of what they're trying to do
It's for me, it's for me, it's for you, it's for you

I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
They must be stupid or blind
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel

They live a life of fear and insecurity
And all you do is pay for their prosperity
The ministry of fear that won't let you live
The ministry of grace that doesn't forgive
Do what you will to try and make me conform
I'll make you wish that you had never been born

Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll do what I please
Yes I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
And I'm as free as the breeze
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel

They'll try playin' win your heart
They know it rules your head
If they could read between the lines
You know they'd see the real day

God only knows why they couldn't see the obvious
Is it because they manifest the incubus
The ministry of war that got caught in the draft
The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed
When it's all boiled down and the day's at an end
I'll give you no bullshit and I'll never pretend

Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
Why don't they open their eyes
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
A rock 'n' roll rebel
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel

Bark at the Moon
Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon

Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that this beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon

They cursed and buried him
Along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning hell - unholy one
But now he's returned to prove them wrong

Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell
And when he finds who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon

You're No Different
How many times can you put me down
'Til in your heart you realize,
If you choose to criticize
You choose your enemies

Everything that I say and do
In your eyes is always wrong,
Tell me where do I belong
In a sick society

You're no different to me
You're no different,
No different to me

Look at yourself instead of looking at me
With accusation in your eyes,
Do you want me crucified for my profanity

Concealing your crimes behind a Grandeur of lies
Tell me where do I begin
If you think you're without sin
Be the first to cast the stone

You're no different to me
You're no different, no different to me
You're no different to me
You're no different, no different to me
Can't you see, can't you see
You're no different to me
Won't you see, won't you see
You're no different to me

Living my life in a way that I choose
You say I should apologize,
Is that envy in your eyes
Reflecting jealousy

Tell me the truth and I'll admit to my guilt
If you'll try to understand,
But is that blood that's on your hand from your democracy
4.
Now You See It (Now You Don't)
Overbearing woman makin' it so hard for me
Now you've laid it down for all to see, yeah
Can I ask a question, d'ya think that you can take a blow
This is why I always come and go, yeah

Now you see it, now you don't, yeah
Careful of words that get caught in your throat
Face the music, take it like a man, yeah
Givin' it to me anyway that you can, yeah

Everybody's feeling everything you've got to feel
I've got something that you can't conceal

Now you see it, now you don't, yeah
Careful of words that get caught in your throat
Face the music, take it like a man, yeah
Givin' it to me anyway that you can

Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't

Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't

Give me central heating, hope that I can pay the bill
Making me forget my fear of hell, yeah
Must be luck in odd numbers, now you face me upside down
I'm so far up, I'm afraid to come back down, yeah

Now you see it, now you don't, yeah
Careful of words that get caught in your throat
Face the music, take it like a man, yeah
Givin' it to me anyway that you can
5.
Forever
There's no present, there's no future
I don't even know about the past
It's all timeless and neverending
And for me to think it's all too vast

It goes forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes tomorrow
Journey to the centre of eternity
Journey to the centre of eternity

The time is coming, but also going
And it's leaving never to return
It may be heaven, could be forever
But if it's hell then you can watch me burn

It goes forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes tomorrow
Journey to the centre of eternity
Journey to the centre of eternity

I've got to travel forever
It's all within my mind
An endless path to endeavor
Forever is a long, long time

There's no secrets and no corruption
In the centre of infinity
There's no limits to non-existence
And no begining to my destiny

It goes forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes tomorrow
Journey to the centre of eternity
Journey to the centre of eternity
Journey to the centre of eternity
Journey to the centre of eternity
6.
So Tired
Time has come to say goodbye
I know it's gonna make you cry
But you belong to another my love
And half a love that just isn't enough

I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tired
And I always thought we would see it through

I've waited all this time for you
Believed your promises were true
I keep believing that you mean what you say
Be mine tomorrow, now tomorrow's today

I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tired
And I always thought we would see it through

And I often sit and wonder why
You're not with me tonight
I stayed at home remaining true
While you do what you wanted to do

And I often sit and wonder why
You're not with me tonight
And I stay at home remaining true
While you do what you wanted to do

I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tired
And I always thought we would see it through
So tired, so tired
So tired, so tired
So tired

Waiting for Darkness
Waiting for darkness
Doesn't anybody see
Deafened by silence
Doesn't anybody hear.
(I'm waiting darkness)
Playing with fire
But they're screaming
When they're burned
Out of the sunlight
Hasn't anybody learned

I know what they find
Is in their mind
It's what they want to see
Spare me from the light
Here comes the night
And here I'll stay
Waiting for darkness

Promise me rebirth
And then you tear me from the womb
Give me my freedom
And then you lock me in a tomb

I'm waiting for darkness
You gotta believe, you gotta believe its true
I'm waiting for darkness
I just can't conceive why darkness is overdue.

Who knows the answers
Is it friend or is it foe
Don't ask me questions
There are things you shouldn't know
8.
Spiders
Spiders in the night
Creeping round the walls
Now you'll feel him crawling over you

Creepy crawly things
Filling up your bed
Soon you'll feel him crawling through your brain

You think he's there
Beware his bite
But when you look
The spider's not in sight

Spiders reappear
Taking people's names
Everything is taken down in sane

There's no way out
And there's no key
But here's a clue
The spider's really me

You're written in his book
The spiders won't forget
You won't forget the spiders in the night

The end is growing nigh
Eensy weensy friends
The spider's disappearing from the night

You think he's gone
You think he's dead
There's no escape
The spider's in your head
