Do unto others as they've done to youBut what the hell is this world coming to?
Blow the universe into nothingnessNuclear warfare shall lay us to rest
Fight fire with fireEnding is nearFight fire with fireBursting with fear
We all shall die
Time is like a fuse, short and burning fastArmageddon's here, like said in the past
Fight fire with fireEnding is nearFight fire with fireBursting with fear
Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of deathThe gods are laughing, so take your last breath
Fight fire with fireEnding is nearFight fire with fireBursting with fear
Fight fire with fire (x8)Fight

Guilty as chargedBut damn it, it ain't rightThere's someone else controlling me
Death in the airStrapped in the electric chairThis can't be happening to me
Who made you god to say,"I'll take your life from you"
Flash before my eyesNow it's time to dieBurning in my brainI can feel the flame
Wait for the signTo flick the switch of deathIt's the beginning of the end
Sweat chilling coldAs I watch death unfoldConsciousness my only friend
My fingers grip with fearWhat am I doing here?
Flash before my eyesNow it's time to dieBurning in my brainI can feel the flame
Someone help meOh please God help meThey're trying to take it all awayI don't want to die
Time moving slowThe minutes seem like hoursThe final curtain all I see
How true is this?Just get it over withIf this is true, just let it be
Wakened by horrid screamFreed from this frightening dream
Flash before my eyesNow it's time to dieBurning in my brainI can feel the flame

Make his fight on the hill in the early dayConstant chill deep insideShouting gun, on they run through the endless greyOn they fight, for the right, yes, but who's to say?For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not knowStiffened wounds test their prideMen of five, still alive through the raging glowGone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tollsTime marches onFor whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you dieIt is the last time he willBlackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling skyShattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cryStranger now, are his eyes, to this mysteryHe hears the silence so loudCrack of dawn, all is gone except the will to beNow they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tollsTime marches onFor whom the bell tolls

I don't know how to live through this hellWoken up, I'm still locked in this shellFrozen soul, frozen down to the coreBreak the ice, I can't take anymore
FreezingCan't move at allScreamingCan't hear my callI am dying to liveCry outI'm trapped under ice
Crystallized, as I lay here and restEyes of glass stare directly at deathFrom deep sleep I have broken awayNo one knows, no one hears what I say
FreezingCan't move at allScreamingCan't hear my callI am dying to liveCry outI'm trapped under ice
(Scream!) from my soul(Fate!) mystified(Hell!) forever more
No release from my cryonic stateWhat is this? I've been stricken by fateWrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break freeHand of doom has a tight grip on me
FreezingCan't move at allScreamingCan't hear my callI am dying to liveCry outI'm trapped under ice

Life it seems, will fade awayDrifting further, every dayGetting lost, within myselfNothing matters, no one elseI have lost the will to liveSimply nothing more to giveThere is nothing more for meNeed the end to set me free
Things not what they used to beMissing one inside of meDeathly loss, this can't be realI cannot stand this hell I feelEmptiness is filling meTo the point of agonyGrowing darkness, taking dawnI was me, but now he's gone
No one but me Can save myselfBut it's too lateNow I can't thinkThink why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though It never existedDeath greets me warmNow I will just say goodbyeBye...

Feel no pain, but my life ain't easyI know I'm my best friendNo one cares, but I'm so much strongerI'll fight until the endTo escape from the true false worldUndamaged destinyCan't get caught in the endless circleRing of stupidity
Out for my own, out to be freeOne with my mind, they just can't seeNo need to hear things that they sayLife is for my own to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelingsDon't tell me what to doI don't care now, 'cause I'm on my sideAnd I can see through youFeed my brain with your so called standardsWho says that I ain't rightBreak away from your common fashionSee through your blurry sight
Out for my own, out to be freeOne with my mind, they just can't seeNo need to hear things that they sayLife is for my own to live my own way
See them try to bring the hammer downNo damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life is for my own to live my own way
