And just before you fade out to
I will hold a place for you

Do you rememeber when we used to
Do you rememeber when you used to
Do you remember life
Well, as you’re led out to the slaughter
You ought to

Think about your life you wouldn’t give it up
Before you’re led off to the slaughter
You ought to

And just as soon as you will find
That all of this became your life

Do you remember when we used to
Do you remember when you used to
Do you remember life

Before you’re led off to the slaughter
You ought to

And just as soon as all of this so
All of this so pure

Do you ever stop

. . .


from The Punisher soundtrack

1, 2, 3 - Go!

Broken,
Yeah, you've been living on the edge of a broken dream.
Nothing,
Yeah, that's the only thing you'll ever take away from me.

I'm never gonna stop,
I'm never gonna drop,
Ain't no different than it was before.

So take some good advice,
You better stop and think twice,
Before you take your first step,
Out that door.

If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down.

You had your chance to walk away.
Live to see another day.

If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
You're gonna get knocked down...

Aaaaah...

Suffering,
Yeah, that's the only thing here that's left for you.
Nothing,
Yeah, that's the only thing you're ever gonna -- do.

I'm never gonna stop,
I'm never gonna drop,
Ain't no different than it was before.

So take some good advice,
You better stop and think twice,
Before you take your first step,
Out that door.

So if you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down.

You had your chance to walk away.
Live to see another day.

If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
You're gonna get knocked down...

You're gonna get knocked down...

And now you've crossed that line...
You must be out your mind.

Go.

If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down.

You had your chance to walk away.
Live to see another day.

If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
You're gonna get knocked down...

You're gonna get knocked down (step up).

You're gonna get knocked down...

You're gonna get knocked down (step up).

Numb

To the man looking back at me
Said why don’t you go away
We’ve all heard your misery
You’ve been bleeding it for days end

And it’s plain when I look into your eyes I see
All you want is everybody’s sympathy

So why don’t you take all of this and go away
So why do you always look to me this way
When it seems like tomorrow might not come
And it seems like the sorrow has left you numb

And to the world I see
Said we’ve sat and watched you shine
Pack up all your guilt and please
Leave it all behind

And it’s plain when I look into your eyes I see
This could be the way you want your life to be

Numb

Now your gonna bleed

. . .



And when it's cold out
I will wait for her
And I will roam out
To the edges of the earth
And when it feels just like the rain
Has soaked through my bones
None of this will matter
None of this will save you from yourself

This life
It's brining on the death of me
Swear that I can barely see
That I'm the one to blame
This life
I swear to God it's killin' me
Seems some times I can't believe
That I'm the one to blame
And when it's cold out
In the sleet and snow
I will hold out
‘Till the answers all unfold
And when it feels just like the rain
You will see through it all
None of this will matter
‘Cause none of this will save you from yourself

None of this will matter

. . .



And this blood on my hands
Now it won't go away
I've been out on this road for days

And the fear on the wall
Watch it slowly cascade
As the door holds the wolves at bay

The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become

The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become

And this road that I've chose
Seems it's taken its' toll
Leading far far away from the soul

And the fear on the wall
Watch it slowly cascade
As the door holds the wolves at bay

The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become

The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become

This thing I've become seems its' taken control
Of my mind and my body my will and my soul
Driving further and further away from my self
Until there's none of me left I've become something else

The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become

The emptiness is building from

. . .



Everyday, always the same
I hear your name and it cuts through me like a chainsaw
And I fall back into that simple fool you always knew

And just as soon as I let you back in
Seems I'm reminded of all of this again

Bringing me down

How much more will it take
‘till I break
And I dived that stake
Right into that think that you call your heart
Hell it's fallen apart
And I don't think it worked right from the start
Just as soon as I let you back in
Seems I'm reminded of all of this again

Bringing me down

I can't believe that I let you walk all over me
I can't believe that you had such a hold on me


. . .



Promise that you always will
Keep candles lit on the windowsill
You know I'll be comin' home

You know I never wanted to go away
But what am I supposed to say
When I hear the sounds of the trumpet call
Who says

All is fair in love and war

Your pictures kept close to my heart
Letters all but fall apart
Each night I read them over again

You know I never wanted to go away
But what am I supposed to say
When I hear the sounds of the trumpet call
Who says

You know I never wanted to go away
I swear

. . .



I can see it your eyes
Why you're here tonight
Lookin' for that something sacred you'll never find
You know there must be some way
To wash away the pain
Just like you did your faith

Forget
Forget the fear you try to hide
Forget the pain you keep in side

And before we all regress
To this emptiness
And crawl across the floor Once more
Scraping our hands and knees


. . .



So you think that you got it all figured out
I told you, you have no idea what it is all about
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way

What, who, where were you when I was down on my luck you know you never gave a
fuck
You just cast me aside
What who where were when I needed you,
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride

I told you I know you as well as you think you do
I'll show you just how easy you are to see straight through

Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way

What, who, where were you when I was down on my luck you know you never gave a
fuck
You just cast me aside
What ,who, where were when I needed you
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride

Nothing to me your nothing to me (repeats)

Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine

. . .



Like cigarettes and gasoline
I light a match and watch this scene
Burn away in front of me
Ashes of my misery

I swear sometimes I think this life is killing me

I swear it's killin me
All our shattered hopes
And our long dead dreams
The wreckage that we all try to keep
From coming to life
And tearing us apart at the seams

Sun bleached bones and withered trees
Slowly rotting just like me
Empty bottles broken glass
My resolve is fading fast

I swear sometimes I think this life is killing me

I swear it's killin me
All our shattered hopes
And our long dead dreams
The wreckage that we all try to keep
From coming to life

. . .



Burry the priest and burn religion alive
Baptize at birth with the black brush's wine
The uncrowned king unholy
Forget about the crucifix
My rising sign is 666

Can't you see the way they twist and turn
You watch it burn
Just sign right here and watch the tables turn
You want the world
I'll show the way
Just raise your fist and let me hear you say

Hey you want it
Hey you need it
Say hey you want it
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Get it, get it, go

Incarnation can bring down the stars
Five-thousand times, and their service is ours
Obscene, unclean, unholy
The losers, dope-fiends, and don't forget
The worthless, no good, piece of shit

Come with me and we'll drink a toast to anarchy
All we need is excess and ecstasy
You want the world
I'll show the way
Just raise your fist and let me hear you say

And you its plain to see
In our society
All of us will bleed
But your war is not with me
There are many of those who oppose us

All of this could always be the way that you would want it to
Come on down right now and sell your soul
It's what you want to do
This could be the only way
Forget the fucking judgment day
