lyrics

R E D E M P T I O N D A Y
Reprimand me not, for the things I've got or the things I may not
It's just another way, so that you can say things
that·s not worth saying
A thought from a mind of that self righteous kind
Is an illy inclined way to see
And if your view has been blinded by all that·s golden and shining
Then its time to start looking again
CHORUS
Break down those walls along the way
Break down those walls inside your head
And when your doubts come clouding your beliefs
And you have nothing left to say
Break down those walls along the way
That·s heading for redemption day
VERSE
Institute not me, to this hyped hypocrisy
In this patriotic cover for your greed
When the day is done
There you sitting on your throne
May you reap from every seed that you have sown
For all the wrong reasons
There you sitting supreme

CHORUS
In every thing that you say and you do
And if your sons or your daughters
Ran like lambs to the slaughter
Tell me then, would it matter to you
Bre4ak down those walls along the way
Break down those walls inside your head
When your doubts come clouding your beliefs
And you have nothing left to say
Break down those walls along the way
That·s heading for redemption day
Break down those walls along the way
Break down those walls inside your head
EXTENDED CHORUS
Break down those walls along the way
Break down those walls inside your head
When your doubts come clouding your beliefs
And you have nothing left to say
And you know the price of freedom
Is a price you cannot pay
Break down those walls along the way
That·s heading for redemption day.

S L I P T H R U M Y H A N D S
I·ve got to get away out of here
I·ve got to bail out before it·s too late
I·ve taken more than my fair share of this same old shit
I·m going to jump on an opportunity
To make an escape from this captivity
Because I·ll not be blinded by that kind of line
That I·ve heard so many times before
CHORUS
Because if I stay here any longer
If I don·t right all that is wrong
How can I continue on
Before every dream I·ve ever had
Like sand is going to slip right thru my hands
I·m going to be on my own merry way
No matter what the weather for worse or for better
Awake and embrace every day
I·ll throw my cards on the table and play
I·ll be going like the wind before the break of day
Because I·m not one to be hanging around
For that type of vibe that·s going to bring me down
CHORUS
All these familiar faces and these same old places
Are causing inside me these empty spaces
I want to retreat out of this rat race
I want to pick up all of this wasted grace
I·m going back to the basics
To rumble thru the jungle
Because I·ve had enough of all this mumbo jumbo
I·m going to cut to the chase before I·ll be damned
And let these dreams slip thru my hands
DOUBLE CHORUS to fade.

T E N T I M E S L A T E R
Think I should have waited
Where I was situated
But I hesitated
So I guess I·ll never know
Perhaps I could have gone reverse
If only just to change a verse
Then I could have made it worse
So I·ll just let it go.
PRE CHORUS
You can look at it
Try and make the pieces fit
But it·s all the same
Doesn·t really matter
If it turns out worse or better
Just don·t forget one thing
CHORUS
The next time it·s going to be bigger
The next time it·s going to be better
But if it·s ten times worse
Or ten times greater
I·m still standing here ten times later
VERSE
It started as a story
But now its wound its way around me
Beholding life I·ve tasted
And begrudging time I·ve wasted
I·m still juggling with my memory
And keeping bitter from the sweet
Never seem to ever get a grip on what is real
PRE CHORUS
You can look at it
Try and make the pieces fit
But its all the same
Doesn·t really matter
If it turns out worse or better
Just don·t forget one thing
CHORUS
The next time it·s going to be bigger
The next time it·s going to be better
But if it·s ten times worse Or ten times greater
I·m still standing here ten times later.
BRIDGE
If you·re ever of the mind
And you wish you could rewind
The hands of time
Because the time that you have been given
Hasn·t proved itself to be so kind
If you done it all again
Would you do it all the same
Every bend and every wind
Just forget about regrets
Kick it in the net
And bear in mind
CHORUS
The next time it·s going to bigger
The next time it·s going to be better
