"Nightmares" (Allen Cox)
Scared to death to go to sleep
My eyes are bright as balls of sleet
Storm raging in my head
A nightmare, welcome my friend
I thought I was awake
I must have fell asleep
That was my mistake
I wish that I could dream
Like a normal dream
Like a paradise
I feel the cold steel
I sense the death
I hear a trigger click
Wide awake at the blast
I thought that I was gone
In death I must belong
And now I don't know how to feel
I can remember them
Like a horror show
One after one they come and go
My dreams are scaring me
I think I'm going mad
Like these characters in my head
It's a hell that I have to live
And it's all to real
These dreams I can feel
Yeah it's all too real
I want a normal life
It seems so unfair
Welcome to....my nightmare
I lay on the table
The scalpel in his hand
He moves toward me
Then I'm wide awake again
Now fast asleep
I began to dream
But it's never what I want
Another restless night
Awaken in a scream
It's always death that taunts me
No reason for this torture
These stories I nust live
Such tales of horror
I've seen my friends killed
I look to the left
I look to the right
I step off the corner
A bus my last sight
Wake up in a cold sweat
It was so real
My heart pounding fast
No one to calm my fears
Afraid to close my eyes
All these horrid scenes
Afraid to go to sleep
Afraid of my dreams
Now I lay me down
My journey's terror bound
Where will I be tonight?
What friend betrays?
What big mistake?
What will be the big fright?
Welcome to my nightmare
She told me she loved me
I was her man
I see her kiss another
Now I understand
Welcome to my nightmare
Now she has a knife
She's after me
Running down the hall
I can hear her insane screams...
Welcome to my nightmare
A bug is crawling on me
With it's lethal bite
I'm in sheer terror
My nerves in a bind
Now I'm fast asleep
I begin to dream
But it's never what I want
Another restless night
Awaken in a scream
It's always death that taunts me
It's a hell I live
And it's all to real
The dreams that I can feel
I want a normal life
No, it's just not fair
Welcome to my nightmare...
It's a hell I live
Yeah it's all too real
These dreams that I can feel
I want a normal life
No, it's just not fair
Welcome to my nightmare
My nightmare...

"Worldwide" (Allen Cox)
A dream storm unlike nothing seen before
Midnight, their brains thinking thoughts of...
Gears and wheels, a new idea
New replacement, I don't like the old way
Quicker and better, a new way it's faster
This one is quick, I just bought it you bastard
This is the new one, you're now obsolete
You better get in line cause there's a new way
You got to get yours just to stay in the race
You got to be hip or they turn away
Better get in line for the new thing
It's worldwide....
(Chorus)
It's taking over
Yeah it's worldwide
And you can't deny it
Cause it's on the lips of all
Up on the TV screens
Up on the billboards
It's taking over
It's worldwide
New warm spot, it's curiosity
A chance on history, defy the odds
It's so overbearing, what an effect
Fist full of money here I am again
See me coming from a mile away
Show me what's new since yesterday
Don't you hold back now, give me the best
I'm never up to date, can I ever rest?
(Chorus)
Hook us up, check us out, new and improved
I thought I had the best, man I was fooled
Look us up, check us out, the cutting edge
Research the forefront, more money we beg
Better get in line cause there's a new way
Better get yours just to stay in this race
You got to be hip or they turn away
You better get in line...
Worldwide
All the decisions
We have to make
Is it real?
Or is it fake?
Records broken put it in demand
Throw the old one in the garbage can
How can it improve?
Well here it is
Our latest model, you must get it
Better get in line cause there's a new way
You better get yours just to stay in the race
(Chorus)

"Psalm 35" (Allen Cox)
Help me fight against a man like me
Take a hold of your shields
make a stand for the king
Draw out your swords
Stop this prosecution
And say onto your soul
I'm your salvation
(Chorus)
I'll let them be confounded
I'll let them have this shame
All men who will seek
My soul for their agenda
Their digging for my soul
Destruction comes upon them
And the net that they hide
They'll catch theirselves in
So joy to my soul
Rejoyce in salvation
And all my bones will say
Deliver me from this nation
(Chorus 2)
I'll let them be confounded
I'll let them have this shame
All men who will seek
My soul for their agenda
Their way will be dark
Their way is slippery
An angel of the lord
Will prosecute their souls
(Repeat Verse 1 and Chorus 2)

The Unwanted

"The Unwanted" (Allen Cox)
I'm inside you, I am real
A life that's growing
Egg that's soon to hatch
I'm inside you...
Snap into the world
A new face
I'm here early but that is fate
Life is real, so the kids are high
Getting into trouble if they don't die
People talk about you
But you don't give a crap
No morals, she's a teenage brat
Feasting on fantasy
Liking the taste
Living it up, I'm your next mistake
I am inside of you, I am real
An life that's growing
Egg that's soon to hatch...
I loved you...
I'm inside you, I am real
A life that's growing
Egg that's soon to hatch
I'm inside you...
Ready or not here I come
You wanted an abortion
But your money's none
Made yours-you had a choice
Unlike me I'm set to be born
Your candle burns fast and at both ends
You got your life caught up in sin
The pain is sharp in your side
I'm coming out you better run and hide
Mommy, I am inside of you
Hiding out, you hide me from the truth
There is no one, no one is there for me
There is no love, no love for me
I'm inside you, I am real
A life that's growing
Egg that's soon to hatch
I am inside...
You better hold in your screams
No one must hear
You can't bear the shame
But you bear the tears
Your water's breaking fast
Here I am
You don't want me
Put me in a garbage can
Again in darkness and so alone
I'm new here, just minutes old
Shaking and shivering in this afterbirth
Cold and dying like this earth
I am inside of you, I am real
A life that's growing
An egg that's soon to hatch...
I hope they'll come a day
When you're in your old age
You might just think of me
And what might have been

When I Return

"When I Return" (Allen Cox)
Living in death and poverty
Sick of starvation
A roof that leaks
You could care less
I want some more
The bare necessities
Are such a bore
Good at what I want
Just look and see
Don't turn your back
You're gonna hear me
Not just a dumbass
I have a mind
Just give a little
A little time
There might be something
That comes to be
I want to make my mark
In history
(Chorus)
Give me a chance
Give me a life
Give me direction
Draw me a line
Tell me your secrets
Give me what I've earned
You better look out
When I return
I live in death and poverty
Someone holds my balls
Decides for me
Time to rebel
Take back my life
I want to be free
I'll go get my life
No one famous here
No one knows my name
That's gonna change
I'm gonna catch fate
I'll make it out
Or I'll go insane
You won't take my life
I won't die in vein
(Chorus)
I live in death and poverty
They hold me down
I want to be free
Don't give me blahh
Just something to eat
Only death puts me down
I'll make it out
Gamble on my thoughts
Throw out the dice
I'm gonna take a slice
Out of the pie
What a surprise
It comes today
Stand down muthers
Clearing the way
(Chorus)
I live in death and poverty
You get it all
There's just scraps for me
One day you'll see
One day you'll know
Remember this face
Now I have to go

The Gate

"The Gate" (Allen Cox)
Can you seek a life?
Are you ready to fly?
Shielded danger
But now you're exposed
The road of life filled with it's potholes
Giant hills
We must find our energy
Put on your face
Don't show your weakness
Some may hate you
Look 'em right in the eye
You have a purpose
Your head screwed on tight
The human law
Don't break the golden rule
(Chorus)
You got the chance
Got to make it right
Life is so short so don't waste time
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up to you
Now it is time and you must leave your home
May God be with you where ever you roam
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up for you
Make your bed good
For in it you must lay
Complete your task
Attention to detail
Keep a promise
Don't let your brothers down
No deception
Don't paint us fantasy
Earn what you get
Pay for dishonesty
Carry the pride that's always been our name
Be respectful
Show some courtesy
Don't be a fool
Have some dignity
(Chorus 2)
You got the chance to make it in life
Life is so short so don't waste time
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up to you
Now it is time and you must leave your home
May God be with you where ever you roam
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up to you
You're on your own
Now go make us proud
Leaving the nest
You will fall down
We won't be there to pick you up so...
You must be strong
It's a long road
If you do right you'll have your friends
They'll help you through
Through the thick and thin
Hold your head high
Show your confidence
You know you're good
Chances are you'll win
(Chorus 3)
Now it is time and you must leave your home
May God be with you where ever you roam
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up to you
