An Eye for an Eye
03:00
|

Aaaaaah yeah, aaaaah
They say he gave his life for you
An eye for an eye, they say
He gave you life
He gave you a chance to live
Hear what I say
He says obey my law
They say his dearly beloved son
Gave his life for you
But are they telling you wrong?
So you walk, a straight line, you do
Blind faith leading you to what you believe is true
Better watch what you say, watch what you do
Or the gates of hell will find you, they say
Soon enough the day will come when all evil is gone
And as for sinning we'll be rid of it all
The time is not so far away
Said this forever and a day, they say
Soon he will end it all
An eye for an eye
And all evil will be gone
An eye for an eye
And with the powers from above
An eye for an eye
The world will be filled with love
Still waiting?

Neath Stormy Skies

Neath the stormy skies
Deception and lies
Bring us to this point
Neath the stormy skies
Above us all is dark
What was once so bright
Darkness upon our hearts
Giving a vision a night
Grey clouds cover our hearts
Once as bright as the sun
Laughter leaves our very souls
We used to have such fun
It's gonna rain like hell
Guess it's just as well
Nothing lasts forever
Only time will tell
Neath the stormy skies deception and lies
Bring us to the point
Neath the stormy skies
Troubled hearts and troubled minds
We were once as one
Our souls went their separate ways
And the damage is all but done
Shot in the back
Stabbed in the heart
Has Cupid made a mistake?
Foolish I fell in love
With a woman I love to hate
It's gonna rain, oh yeah
Downpour for sure
As for our love
It exists no more
Neath the stormy skies
Deception and lies

Suhn Hu Taha
Suhn Hu Taha
Suhn Hu Taha
Suhn Hu Taha
Take you back a long time ago
There was a man I used to know, heart of gold, this I know
Me being seventh of seven, done planted his seed and gone to heaven
Though we didn't bond much when young was I
Bonded real well as time went by
He'd say
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Now you know just who I am
Suhn Hu Taha
Takasuki, Comonchero
Suhn Hu Taha
The king, Roberto
Suhn Hu Taha
Gone too early and it's a shame
Suhn Hu Taha
Robert was his name and living was his game
He'd go around the neighborhood taking kids to get some food
Like a celebrity in Hollywood
A living rock star helping whom he could
He'd give you his heart, but he'd straighten you out if you got smart
I gotta say you raised me right
Now you rest in peace pop, goodnight
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Now you know just who I am
Suhn Hu Taha
Comonchero, the Chief
Suhn Hu Taha
The King, Roberto
Suhn Hu Taha
Gone too early and it's a shame
Suhn Hu Taha
Robert was his name and living was his game
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Take this dollar from my hand
Now you know just who I am
Suhn Hu Taha
Takasuki, Comonchero
Suhn Hu Taha
The King, Roberto
Suhn Hu Taha
Gone too early and it's a shame
Suhn Hu Taha
Robert was his name and living was his game

Show Yourself
03:01
|

Someone please explain
How she worked so hard for years for you
And her retirement, was so painful, what a reward
Hello are you there?
She had so many prayers, none answered
All ignored, or do you care, about your slaves?
If you want me to believe all the way, then show yourself, show yourself
If you want me to believe all the way, then show yourself, show yourself
Huh
If you want me to believe all the way, then show yourself, show yourself
If you want me to believe all the way, then show yourself, show yourself
Huh
Spirit in the sky
Years go by I never see you
Perhaps my faith is gone, or never there, were you
Someone please explain
How she worked so hard for years for you
And her retirement, was so painful, what a reward
If you want me to believe all the way, then show yourself, show yourself
If you want me to believe all the way, then show yourself, show yourself
Oooh

Believe
03:41
|
|||
You can read the book
And believe the scriptures are real
Though it speaks of a spirit, you never, touch, see, or feel
And here I stand before you, giving you my all
And I've always been there for you but it's not my name you call
No you won't believe in me
No you won't believe in me
Been here all along
Gave you strength to carry on
Still you won't believe in me
Oh
You can believe in destiny
Or believe in the stars above
Or believe in the power of love
And so I stand before you
Giving you my all
And I've always been there for you but it's not my name you call
No you won't believe in me
No you won't believe in me
I been here all along
Gave you strength to carry on
Still you won't believe in me
Oh
What's it gonna take for you to just believe in me
Just a little faith in me is all I ask
Maybe it's too much for you
Oh
You can read the book, and believe the scriptures are real
Though it speaks of a spirit
You never, touch, see, or feel

Martyr
02:35
|
|||
In the mirror, I see a broken man
Worn out and tired
Future looks bleak
Feeling so weak
Time to wave the flag
I've grown tired, mind is weary
Llife seems a waste
Suddenly life, as I know it
Has a bitter taste
Need to stop, thinking this way
Need to stop
But I wasted so much time
The Grave, I'm one step closer to
The Martyr I am
Or so I been called
But who really cares?
Cause suddenly life, as I know it
Is going nowhere
Need to stop, thinking this way
Need to stop
But I wasted so much time
The Earth, and the Martyr, will be one
The Earth, and the Martyr, will be one

Landslide
03:54
|
|||
I should've known better
But live and learn
Now I know the feeling
Of having been burned
And I wonder
Why things went down
Like they did girl
It all went south
Now I'm so much better
On my own
And what comes around goes around
This I know
Cause he did you
Oh so bad
Like you did me
Imagine that
So do you feel it
Catching up with you?
Like I felt it
Now you wear my shoes
Caught in a landslide
Tumbling down on you
Karma's got you
Believe it's true
So you fell in love with another man, he's the one you really care for, he's your right, your his left hand, he's the one you would die for, now your world crashing down, cause he just screwed you around, now it all tumbles down like rocks in a landslide, now you know how I felt inside
Caught in a landslide
It's tumbling down on you
Karma's got you
Believe it's true

You'll Feel It
03:04
|
|||
Spent all my time
Spent all my money
I wasted all my time on you
Oh and you thought
It was so funny
Just everything you put me through
You had your cake
You ate it too
But you bit off a little bit more than you can chew
And now you know
It's not so funny
And you feel like a fool
You'll feel it baby
Oh you will feel the hurt
Aaaaah yeh
You'll feel it baby
And you'll know just how I feel
Aaaaah yeh
You picked me up
You set me down again
You thought you put me in my place
You had your strings
Attached to me
But now I'm in the driver's seat
You called the shots
For the last time
I'm pushing all the fog to the side
I'm not confused anymore
It's all clear to me
The way you took me for a ride
You'll feel it baby
Oh you will feel the hurt
Aaaaah yeah
You'll feel it baby
And you'll know just how I'll feel
Aaaaah yeah
Once upon a time I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
But that's before I found out who you were
Who you were
Aaaaah yeah
Aaaaah yeah

Walked Away
02:53
|
|||
Ooooooh it's been interesting here
Some sunshine some tears
And my love for you is true
And your love for me is too
Yet I walked away from you
Yes I walked away it's true
Love lives in our hearts
Yet we managed to be apart
But don't think that I don't feel
That my love for you's not real
Though I walked away from you
Should I have walked away?
Called it through

I should be taking back
All I gave
Oh cry me a river, you gold digger
You never deserved them anyway
Once upon a time, I was in love
Bought her all kind of things, from houseshoes to rings
And she did me cold
As time went on, she did me wrong
Engaged for the whole time, running that old line
That I'm the only one
You could have won an award
In fact an Oscar
All the lies that you told, and the acting job too
You're a real good actress
But do you have a conscience?
I sure hope you do
All the things that went on I hope you regret because I don't forgive and I don't forget
CC you will remember me
CC you will remember me
I should be taking back
All I gave
Oh cry me a river, you gold digger
You never deserved them anyway
CC you will remember me
CC you will remember me
You will remember me
You will remember me

The Hurt
01:59
|
|||
Love like you never felt the pain of your heart breakin
Cause maybe that wasn't love
Maybe you're mistaken
No one can break your heart
Just hurt your feelings inside
It's not the kind of pain I want
Still my heart cries
And the rage inside
Though a fire lit inside
Something just died

No More
03:31
|
|||
You can't expect the world to play by your rules
No no no
Spoiled we like to be sometimes
And you
No no no
Throwing fits like little babies crying
No no no
It's the truth and I ain't lying
No no no
No more no more no more no more
I want no more
Would you like a little cheese to go with that whine go go go
Gonna spend your whole life constantly crying no no no
Stop and look at things for what they are no no no
Either accept the darkness
Or shine bright like a star oh oh oh
I want no more
I want no more
No more whining and fighting
Time for a new start oh oh oh
And keep a cool head and a steady heart oh wo wo
Future's uncertain and life's too short yeah yeah yeah
Live your life unlike a spoiled sport no no no

Love...look what we've done, aaah yeah
We....said it wouldn't be so
But look at us now
And you said through the years
So many times, could you be my friend?
Then you say, we could be more babe
So, I distance myself, for some time
Now...things are just fine, aaaah yeah
There's a love in my heart
And yes it's for you
Though we're apart
Apparent yeah
When we're together
And it really feels good
There's a love in my heart
And yes it's for you
Though we're apart
Apparent yeah
When we're together
And it really feels good

Don't Judge Me
04:30
|
|||
So I choose to follow my own path
You're telling me I'm gonna face God's wrath
I don't believe in fate or destiny
But that's no reason for you to judge me
You judge me, but don't judge me, you don't know me, you think you do
You judge me, but don't judge me, you don't know me, you think you do
Road was rough, here and there
Let's just say that life's unfair
Trust is earned, and I don't trust you, unless you give me reason to
You judge me, but don't judge me, you don't know me, you think you do
You judge me, but don't judge me, you don't know me, you think you do
Been with a woman who's been untrue
Had a side lover once upon a time too
What comes around, goes around this I say
Just leave it alone, no more games played
You judge me, but don't judge me, you don't know me, you think you do
