The Black Album lyrics at SanitariuM
Enter Sandman
Say your prayers little one
Till the sandman he comes
Gripping your pillow tight
We're off to never never land
Something's wrong, shut the light
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
And of things that will bite
Gripping your pillow tight
We're off to never never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Pray the lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed,
In your closet, in your head
We're off to never never land
I'm the one who takes you there
I'm your only true friend now
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
You're my cover, my shelter
You're the one who's blamed
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
I'm your hate when you want love
I'm the one who took you there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm inside open your eyes
The craps rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead
Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Before you judge me take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
It's not who you are it's who you know
Others lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
His will they'll take away
Never shined through in what I've shown
Won't see what might have been
Never shined through in what I've shown
They dedicate their lives
He tries to please them all
Throughout his life the same
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
Never shined through in what I've shown
Won't see what might have been
Never shined through in what I've shown
Wherever I May Roam
...And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
And she keeps me satisfied
...And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Where I lay my head is home
...And the earth becomes my throne
Under wandering stars I've grown
...And my ties are severed clean
The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll never mind anywhere
Where I lay my head is home
But I'll take my time anywhere
And I'll take my find anywhere
Where I lay my head is home
My body lie, but still I roam
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
To secure peace is to prepare for war
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
To secure peace is to prepare for war
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
To secure peace is to prepare for war
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail
To secure peace is to prepare for war
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
Universe much too big to see
Time and space never ending
Disturbing thoughts, questions pending
Limitations of human understanding
In the dark, see past our eyes
Pursuit of trhuth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
On a quest, meaning, reason
All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, third stone from the sun
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
Off from the new day's mist I have come
Taking of the fallen lamb
Off thruogh the new day's mist I run
Off from the new day'smist I have come
Roaming the land while you sleep
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Earth's gift back to the meaning of life
Bright is the moon high in starlight
Chill is the air cold as steel tonight
It's later than you realized
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Earth's gift back to the meaning of life
Hair stands on the back of my neck
In wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Back to the meaning of wolf and man
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Not what you thought from above
It clouds all that you will know
Decide just what you believe
Never your hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
Find the smooth road in your way
Left you cold and him in grave
It clouds all that you will know
Decide just what you believe
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Left you cold and him in grave
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by deepened nail
