Iron Lung 05:02
The hooves of thunder march on. Approaching fast, the new dawn The oath of war has been made As fire binds the steel blade We are the chosen ones For all the years Forever breaking the back of the world The coat of arms is raised high While arrows black out the sky The new king has his crown Spilled blood covers the ground We are the chosen ones For all the years Forever breaking the back of the world As the light turns from golden to grey When the years pass remember our way The new rein that started today As the light turns from golden to grey Iron Lung died

Have you seen the end? Far from reach? Don't pretend. When the chips are down to none and the light has gone out of the world Will society's weakness peak, or will the persecuted take a stand? Revolt, evolve, or die a casualty. If you cannot choose a path, that's all that you will ever be. Saving face for none. Falling grace has begun. When solitude comes crashing down and the war is now in your back yard. Please heed this simple advice and for now…Buy more bullets. Revolt, evolve, or die a casualty. If you cannot choose a path, that's all that you will ever be. And when it falls I say we burn it all Piss on the remains And start over again Looking forward hunting the truth Forever seeking a better way. The flame burns on and on and on They say time waits for no one down the barrel of a gun. And you can't get much higher. Throw your soul on the fire.

No Time 05:00
I'm gonna push it through I'm gonna make this way I'm gonna do everything to end this day Don't want it no more While you're around It's time for you to give up your crown No time left for you I've seen you stab the backs Of the one's you love I've seen you walk away When they need you most It's time to give up something I need to make this right You've shown you're true colors Without putting up a fight No time left for you This time is fading No more I'm reaching out for you Your time is over Run and hide is all that you can do No time left for you

Wasteland 04:40
As we go marching forth straight through the snow and rain Hardened souls we're taught to fear no death or pain To bleed for you, to die for you We've got to ride it out. Before we come onto the waste land As time stands still on what may be our final day Steel yourself so in the night fear won't betray To give your all before you fall We've got to ride it out. Before we come onto the waste land Feel the danger's presence passing Leaving your life everlasting We won't find the night so young again Stand down. Be still. Ever bent imposing will We won't find the night so young again Reaching the battle ground Leave discretion cold and restless I walk down this road, That I've traveled so long Can't find the anger it holds It's ever winding.
7.
The Burden 05:38
This Burden we must bare Blood on the ice Snow windigos Cold warring tribes North we must go As we carry the load Do as you're told Godforsaken soul How long must we be gone? Until they're all dead Wiped from the earth Or the white spirits Take our souls first As we carry the load Do as you're told Godforsaken soul Come in now. Don't be afraid my son. For eternity your life is almost done. Sleep now. Give into the frost.

Sold to all over the coming days The sky has burned for so long The black clouds over this frozen ground have Been bought and sold by you all. To break the silence Would leave me beside myself Religion and violence Go hand in hand till there's nothing left In the name of your father You will burn for so long And spill the blood of the son to try and Force your belief on the thrall To break the silence Would leave me beside myself Religion and violence Go hand in hand till there's nothing left Forgive us now. A call to all the clowns Who parrot sacred lies Gods in their savior's eyes. Your false sense of god will not help your soul to find deliverance. Your quest to convert the world will only lead to its destruction. In the end it all will fail. Belief based on old wives' tales.
9.
I don't need to see your face again. I don't want to hear your words again. From what I've seen I know that I'm through But clarity was always lost on you. Tangled in sand Sinking there's no lower when you're falling to ruin. You can't save yourself cause you're tangled in sand. No one left to help you cause you're falling to ruin. Released from the chains that brought me down. You can't drag my name all over town. Paper bound this open books been torn. New lease on life feels like I'm reborn. Tangled in sand. Sinking there's no lower when you're falling to ruin. You can't save yourself cause you're tangled in sand. No one left to help you cause you're falling to ruin. I believe that nothing comes for free. I will earn what's coming to me. Release the chains that are binding me here There's no more reason and nothing to fear

Far Below 06:04
Wake tonight from blissful sleep The change is coming The Fever's running Faceless unite Let's start a fight And make it right for all the rest. Cause I remember a time when my life wasn't so jaded We can start again The road is hard along the way We've seen our share of trying days No more can we hold on separating right from wrong And believe everything's alright Cause I remember a time when my life wasn't so jaded We can start again There's a fire burning And this old earth's still turning And the wind blows While the water flows And you told me a lie But I won't be denied Cause I remember a time when my life wasn't so jaded We can start again We are tonight Carried from the light Where we're going we don't know Heaven's far below

Whipping Post (free) 05:23
I've been run down I've been lied to I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool She took all my money Wrecks my new car Now she's with one of my good time buddies They're drinkin' in some cross town bar Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel Like I've been tied To the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Good lord I feel like I'm dyin' My friends tell me That I've been such a fool And I have to stand down and take it babe, All for lovin' you I drown myself in sorrow As I look at what you've done Nothin' seems to change Bad times stay the same And I can't run Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel Like I've been tied To the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Good lord I feel like I'm dyin' Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel Like I've been tied To the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Good lord I feel like I'm dyin'

Big Frank Gonzales, Louisiana
