Eerie Inhabitants
Music : Peterson, Skolnick Lyrics : Skolnick, Billy, Peterson Time : 5:06

A world of chaos 
A world of fear 
A world of anger and corruption 
when all is lost 
and millions starve 
is this humanity destruction? 

Life! A game that people play 
Cry out! Will they see another day? 

No one to help us 
the children pray 
nobody listens to their crying 
this great depression 
when will it end? 
to live like this is worse dying 

Life! A game that people play 
Cry out! Will they see another day? 

Your destiny is over 
your fate has declined 
refuse to discover 
what so many could find 
death's endless toil 
as I long for rest 
life's now forsaken 
condemned to repress! 

No sign of heaven 
No sign of hell 
just the sign or pain and sorrow 
this generation inhabits all 
to form an order for tomorrow 

Life! A game that people play 
Cry out! Will they see another day? 
 
 

Trial By Fire
Music : Peterson, Skolnick Lyrics : Billy Skolnick, Peterson Time : 4:14 
 

Accuse you of a crime 
sentenced to endless time 
the price you have to pay 
won´t get away! 
sworn in by the stand 
your rights are gone 
the system´s banned 
they think you are a liar 
a trial by fire 

Hey! 
this is what the people say 
A new way 
A trial by fire! 

Locked in an empty cell 
your life becomes a living hell 
the river of fire flows 
time only knows! 
trapped by flames of fury 
ordered unto by the jury 
death is their desire 
thrown in the fire! 

Hey! 
this is what the people say 
A new way 
A trial by fire! 

Quiver the fiery light 
cringing as your soul ignites 
the book of law´s been thrown away 
starting today! 
The system before the war 
is gone for now and evermore 
there is no sentence higher 
A trial by Fire! 

Hey! 
this is what the people say 
A new way 
A trial by fire!

The Preacher
Music: Skolnick, Peterson Lyrics:Billy, Skolnick Time: 3:37 
 

In days of old 
when the books were untold 
speak of a world crushed by sin 
"The people will mourn 
of a war to be born" 
Nobody would listen to him 
Think back in time 
when in the future you find 
is so faint that it´s too hard to see 
Don´t disavow his word 
for the truth must be heard 
cause the preacher tells visions he sees 

In 1906 
Like the future predicts 
the city will crumble to the bay 
then what´s in store 
when the worlds go to war? 
peace will have come another day 
then came the one 
In the year of ´41 
warfare would light up the sky 
he beckoned the call 
of the future for all 
blinded by what´s in his eyes 

In days of old 
when the books were untold 
speak of a world crushed by sin 
"The people will mourn 
of a war to be born" 
Nobody would listen to him 
Think back in time 
when in the future you find 
is so faint that it´s too hard to see 
Don´t disavow his word 
for the truth must be heard 
cause the preacher tells visions he sees 

Listen to these words I preach 
catastrophic lessons they shall teach 

Listen to these words I preach 
catastrophic lessons they shall teach 
 

Nobody´s Fault
Music/Lyrics: S. Tyler B. WhitfordTime: 3:57 
[originally recorded by aerosmith in the album rocks] 
 

Lord I must be dreaming 
what else could this be 
Everybody's screaming 
running for the sea 
Holy lands are sinking 
birds take to the sky 
The prophets all are stinking drunk 
I know the reason why 

Eyes are full of desire 
mind is so ill at ease 
Everything is on fire 
shit piled up to the knees 

Out of rhyme or reason 
everyone's to blame 
Children of the season don't be lame 

Sorry, you're so sorry, don't be sorry 

Man has known and now he's blown it upside down 
And hell's the only sound 
We did an awful job and now they say it's nobody's fault 

Old Saint Andres seven years ago 
Shove it up their richters 
red lights stop and go 
Noblemen of courage listen with their ears 
Spoke but how discouraging 
when no one really hears 
One of these days you'll be sorry 
too many houses on the stilt 
Three million years or just a story 
four on the floor up to the hilt 

Out of rhyme or reason, everyone's to blame 
Children of the season don't be lame 

Sorry, you're so sorry, don't be sorry 

Man has known and now he's blown it upside down 
And hell's the only sound 
We did an awful job and now we're just a little too late 

Eyes are full of desire 
mind is so ill at ease 
Everything is on fire 
shit piled in debris 

California showtime 
5 o'clocks the news 
Said everybody's concubine was prone to take a snooze 

Sorry, you're so sorry, don't be sorry 

Man has known and now he's blown it upside down 
And hell's the only sound 
We did an awful job and now we're just a little too late

The New Order
Music : Skolnick, Peterson Lyrics : Skolnick, Peterson Time :4:25 
 

Takers of humanity, elders paranoid 
the time is now 
give up this world you once destroyed 
society versus the underground 
their battles fought and lost 
the time has come 
to rule the world at any cost 

For the past it's to late 
cause the world can't control fate 
shadows cast loud and clear 
tell the world the new order´s here 

Cities turn to battlefields 
a deadly spell is cast 
corpses falling one by one 
until the last 
The preacher speaks of prophecy 
so many years before 
no one escapes their punishment 
the gods of war 

For the past it´s to late 
cause the world can´t control fate 
shadows cast loud and clear 
tell the world the new order´s here 

Death is like an empty space 
feel no thoughts of fear 
the future cries 
as mother nature sheds a tear 
the world becomes a prisoner 
a victim of its crime 
the human race is now a race 
against time 

For the past it´s to late 
cause the world can´t control fate 
shadows cast loud and clear 
tell the world the new order´s here 
 
 

Into The Pit
Music : Skolnick, Peterson Lyrics : Billy, Skolnick, Peterson Time : 2:46 
 

Deep in the pit and lying alone 
where death has reared itself a throne 
we´re all the good, the bad 
the worst and the best 
and where they land is their eternal rest 

Foul plays of passion 
at twilight´s dim 
in joy of woe, of good and sin 
winds of storm and fate overcast 
darkly my presence 
is now your past 

Join the insanity 
or die as you fall 
Into the pit! 
The mass production 
and the killing of all 
Into the pit! 
The future screams for help 
are fading away 
Into the pit! 
The world of tomorrow 
Will it die for today? 
Into the pit! 

So in the sad, silent watches of night 
the lonely pathway envisions my sight 
echoes of laughter 
and boundless cries 
so here I wander under infinite skies 

Join the insanity 
or die as you fall 
Into the pit! 
The mass production 
and the killing of all 
Into the pit! 
The future screams for help 
are fading away 
Into the pit! 
The world of tomorrow 
Will it die for today? 
Into the pit! 
 
 

Disciples Of The Watch
Music: Skolnick, Peterson Lyrics:Billy Time: 5:05 
 

Cast to the fire 
banned by the light 
worship and listen to me 
condemned his mind 
in his evil place 
your fate is all that you´ll see 
I am the one 
to show you the path 
salvation is the fields 
listen up childrens and follow me 
or I´ll let you pay the price 
of malachi! 

Disciples of the watch 
Obey! 
Or I´ll burn you that cross! 

Holding the mass 
the demon is cast 
to resurrect your soul 
calling to him 
is like an evil sin 
a prophet is what they´re told 
taking the land under command 
killing friend or foe 
feel the might if his evil wrath 
desecrate your soul! 

Disciples of the watch 
Obey! 
Or I´ll burn you that cross! 

Cast to the fire 
banned by the light 
worship and listen to me 
condemned his mind 
in his evil place 
your fate is all that you´ll see 
I am the one 
to show you the path 
salvation is the fields 
listen up childrens and follow me 
or I´ll let you pay the price 
of malachi! 

Disciples of the watch 
Obey! 
Or I´ll burn you that cross! 
 

A Day Of Reckoning
Music: Peterson, Skolnick Lyrics:Billy Time: 4:00 
 

First there came a mass 
brilliant lights of flash 
all across the president´s skies 
as he sits and laughs 
he preaches non-conformity 
I don´t think they see 
they live for him and what he believes 
a wrath of misery 

Left to die alone 
in their living past 
as he takes their lives away 
to never get it back 
no more need for society 
all the lives he took 
the fault of the law and majority 
rules in an open book 

Leave me alone 
don´t take it away 
a place where I know 
they´re destined to take away 

Now the lives they lead 
are left to broken dreams 
just when they thought 
they had it all 
life´s not what it seems 
he preaches non-conformity 
I don´t think they see 
they live for him and what he believes 
a life of misery 

Leave me alone 
don´t take it away 
a place where I know 
they´re destined to take away 

don´t take away society 
there´ll come a day 
you´re gonna pay 

Day by day, a day of reckoning 

you´re all gonna pay 
you can´t get away
