Religion & Philosophy 07:16
lyrics
Religion & Philosophy Words & Music by Rick Denzien They use the telephone we invented To send a man with a bomb to destroy a plane we invented both They hold their children and mothers in fear Won’t let the woman vote or drive a car we invented Yeah Ten thousand years behind the times A billion lives behind the lines In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong And I believe it’s true They kill a man for what he says is true They won’t stop there until they kill his family too They blow our distant guns while we stand here safe And count the money – send a wire transfer Kiss the power elite baby bend over and smile Maybe they’ll fund your coupe In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong And I believe it’s true No more death and dying - No more tears and crying Started to believe that maybe - We are living right here No more death and dying - No more tears and crying They say heaven’s out there - I say this is all there is All there is – this is all there is - And I believe it’s true We build our sky towers of glass and steel Build all new temples and pray to the god that made it real It’s the true religion and philosophy that unites the world Truth is – put it on the card – can’t wait to get it home Just think of how it feels after 15 billion years In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong And I believe it’s true © MCMMXCIV slot one entertainment, Inc. all rights reserved

Laserite Creed (pre mass instrumental) 00:41
lyrics
Laserite Creed Words & Music by Rick Denzien We believe that we share the same light, air and water The same dreams hopes and fears The universe goes on forever Yet we all face ultimate limitations Good is what we do to help one another And evil is ignorance of our moral duty We must not fear the unknown Or take solace in mystical revelations They contain no truth We must love one another See all in all See as far as our dreams can carry us There will be a sign in the sky There will be laser writing on the moon © MCMMXCIV slot one entertainment, Inc. all rights reserved

lyrics
Survivor in the Wild Words & Music by: Rick Denzien There is a cat stalking the night Stalking its prey stalking all night This is how it is this is how it lives, lives and survives Even the prey in its own way Hunts for its food all through the day This is how it is this is how it lives, lives and survives This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be? Leader of attack survival of the fittest This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be? Survivor – survivor in the wild survivor in the wild Fight in the street cut to the bone Stealing a life heart like a stone This is how it is this is how we live, live and survive Setting a trap placing the bate Look of the chance to devastate This is how it is this is how we live, live and survive This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be? Leader of attack survival of the fittest This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be? Survivor – survivor in the wild survivor in the wild The wounded land – gray slayer’s hand Be true cause there is still love to be found This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be? Leader of attack survival of the fittest This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be?

Fragile As Glass 03:18
lyrics
Fragile As Glass Words & Music by: Rick Denzien Fragile as glass We break so easily How delicately we are made Fragile as glass She breaks so easily We got to take care not to shatter her By what we say - Or what we do Cause next time she could shatter you Fragile as glass We break so easily How delicately we are made Fragile as glass She breaks so easily We got to take care not to shatter her Dreams and hopes that you may think silly But she loves you so willingly And we’ve got to take good care of the love that she shares Or she won’t be there when you need a prayer When love is unheard of and friendship is rare Well god in his mercy made us aware That we need some forgiveness to love and forbear Cause once her love is broken It’s not easily repaired got to handle her with care Fragile as glass We break so easily How delicately we are made Fragile as glass She breaks so easily We got to take care not to shatter her love © MCMMXCIV slot one entertainment, Inc. all rights reserved - ASCAP

lyrics
South America Words & Music by: Rick Denzien Digging here all day digging for the mother load 10,000 pounds of dirt just searching for a grain of gold Come here as a young man seeking the world’s wealth I could die here as an old man poor and in ill health Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain Running for the gold – run until you’re old South America – South America – South America Amazon sky jungle makes a play for the soul With twenty trips a day the mining takes it’s toll Danger on the ladder mud sticks to the skin You can eat the beans and rice yet the body stays so thin Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain Running for the gold – run until you’re old South America – South America – South America Free from all harm – flee till it’s over Flee from all harm – tonight Flee from all harm - flee from the enemy Free from all harm – tonight – yeah tonight yeah Man they drink on payday women are rich in the town Man they want to go home the rains just come down In the rain they sleep and see the ones they miss Only lucky ones are not reduced to this Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain Running for the gold – run until you’re old South America – South America – South America © MCMMXCIV slot one entertainment, Inc. all rights reserved - ASCAP

Why Do We Come Here Sober? 05:37
lyrics
Why Do We Come Here Sober? Words & Music by: Rick Denzien And as they said there was no sky - I had to as myself Why do we come here sober? And as her tears began to dry - I had to as myself Why do we come here sober at all? I can feel it all I can feel the anger of the day I can feel the moment slipping away - yeah Why do we come here sober - Why do we come here sober Why do we come here sober at all? And as the smoke burned in my eyes - I have to ask myself Why don’t we just come over And touch the truth before the lie - Maybe we just can’t take it Why don’t we just come over at all Can’t you see it all? I can feel the hate just cracking away I can feel surroundings slipping away - yeah Why do we come here sober - Why do we come here sober Why do we come here sober at all? I don’t buy all this crap – that they’re selling me I can see through this electric glass – so easily And now we stayed up through the night - We try to catch the edge We dance till we fall over It sends me screaming my heart fright - I have to as myself Why do we come here sober at all Can’t you feel it all? I can feel the anger of the day I can feel salvation slipping away – yeah Why do we come here sober - Why do we come here sober Why do we come here sober at all?

Do You Love? 06:27
lyrics
Why Do You Love? Words & Music by: Rick Denzien We’ve been sitting here Half way through the night Hoping for the right words to say But we just cannot find them They seem to slip away And the walls echo back What lonely hearts will say Do you love – do you love – do you love? - tell me please All I ever wanted Is to be loved by you If it’s really true time will bear Sometimes love is kind Sometimes it isn’t there Empty conversations Tell me that you care Do you love – do you love – do you love? - tell me please I‘ve heard loving lines spoken Happens every time and hearts are broken I don’t know what you expect And I don’t know any more And I want to understand So tell me what it is You’re such a wiz I guess love is all we lack So we’re sitting here Looking for a way Night turns to day so frequently And you just cannot tell me What it was you meant Listen to the questions That lonely hearts invent Do you love – do you love – do you love? - tell me please © MCMMXCIV slot one entertainment, Inc. all rights reserved - ASCAP

Quick To Kill 04:17
lyrics
Quick To Kill Words & Music by: Rick Denzien & Bernie Capodici I can feel the pounding in my heart I can’t believe it’s true Don’t know just where you came from Don’t know what I should do You got me in your sites Don’t know what’s wrong or right And I got no place to hide But lord knows I tried You’re so Quick to kill my loneliness - Quick to kill my pain Quick to fill my empty heart - Quick to stop the rain Came into the canyons of new york A strange and lonely town I’m here to do a job But I see you all around You know I’d make up my mind But you can’t make me blind Nothings gonna get in my way Just hear what I say You’re so Quick to kill my loneliness - Quick to kill my pain Quick to fill my empty heart - Quick to stop the rain I didn’t want a showdown I guess I knew that I could loose Here you are in front of me Ready to shoot With sweaty palms I draw down A lonely man about to die Someone’s gonna loose this time around You’re so Quick to kill my loneliness - Quick to kill my pain Quick to fill my empty heart - Quick to stop the rain © MCMMXCIV slot one entertainment, Inc. all rights reserved - ASCAP
