Oh! Devil’s hour and I’m wide awake Pray the road my soul to take I know I can’t outrun my mind But that don’t mean I can’t fucking try Light up, I wanna go driving Hit the road just to feel alive Yeah, the pavement’s good for my racing mind But my thoughts don’t brake like my ‘85 Oh, when I hit the gas You’ll hear me comin’ Burnin’ down the road in my black Trans Am I won’t stop for nothing On the prowl under city lights V8 purring, hot summer nights One-eleven in a seventy zone Yeah, I’m burning down Swishers while I’m smoking up Bridgestones Oh, when I hit the gas You’ll hear me comin’ Burnin’ down the road in my black Trans Am I won’t stop for nothing

Red lips, sharp tongue I got a mouth like a loaded gun Last light, day’s done Hit the city looking for some fun Whoa~ When it’s getting hot, oh yeah K-k-k-kick it up Don’t stop when I get on top, whoa You gotta keep it up (Yeah) I got bad habits; got no self-control Mary burns in a Khalifa cone Sometimes life just cuts to the bone So I do what I got to if it means I get stoned I’m on fire; live wire I feel it now but I feel like getting higher Get free; that’s my desire I’m dressed to kill, rocking all designer Whoa~ When it’s getting hot, oh yeah K-k-k-kick it up Don’t stop when I get on top, whoa You gotta keep it up Block my T & I pop my E Get right where I’m supposed to be yeah, I’m a trap queen Baddest bitch in the scene If you know what I mean

I should be on my way I should be on my way I should be on my way I should be on my... (Oh Sonora, Sonora~) You take & take til I got nothing to lose (Oh Sonora, Sonora~) Your every move another turn of the screw (Oh Sonora, Sonora~) I love to gamble, I just hate to lose (Oh Sonora, Sonora~) I play the odds & they play me too My heart of hearts Falling apart You cut me off & now it's back to the start All in good time I'm outta sight It's open season, I just try to survive You hear a demon with an angel's voice The holy ghost is your new weapon of choice Lie after lie you try to bide your time And I flip the script & read between the lines (Oh Sonora, Sonora~) You take & take til I got nothing to lose (Oh Sonora, Sonora~) Your every move another turn of the screw (Oh Sonora, Sonora~) I love to gamble, I just hate to lose (Oh Sonora, Sonora~) I play the odds & they play me too Yeah, no quarter from our nation Just a dead girl walking in isolation Asphyxiation at the hands of the state The autocratic way in the U.S.A. See you in Hermosillo If I ever see you again Long gone by the end of the night I let my wheels spin See you in Hermosillo If I ever see you again Long gone by the end of the night I let my wheels spin

The summers never last They're slow to come and quick to pass So walk with me down by the lake We'll take a stroll all through the night You'll take my hand and everything will be alright Don't mind me when I fall I'll just stay up all night waiting for you to call I'm down here on my knees for you For you Oh baby, please save me And say you feel the way I do Oh baby Oh baby Amor, yo no puedo dejar de pensar en ti Tal vez... Tal vez tú sientes lo mismo... ¿No? I can't get you, no I can't get you, no I can't get you outta my mind I can't get you, no I can't get you, no I can't get you outta my mind Let my love find you Your heart's beside you Just let me blind you I'll always be true Let my love find you Your heart's beside you Just let me blind you I'll always be true I'll always be true I'll always be true, be true Won't you walk with me Won't you walk with me Won't you walk with me Won't you walk with me Won't you walk with me

We're coming up I'm gonna take you down Yeah, tonight we got a lot to see We'll be sittin' pretty 'Neath the lights of the city, baby Come and take a ride with me I wanna show you how to see the night In a way you ain't ever seen So come along and I think you'll see Just exactly what I mean (Yeah!) I close my eyes, and open them To see the world has changed But I can't complain I mean I never asked for all the shit That comes along with the ordinary Day-to-day anxieties of an XY girl In a fucked up world It's all so clear Or at least it is to me Parked out here Watching the city from the lakeside Time moves ever-slower to a crawl And I fall further in love with this new cosmic view Further in love with each new thread That's sewn from me to you You, you... I fall in movements In movements I fall in movements (Solo) Yeah! I been waiting all night for this Supercharged with a limited slip I dunno, I dunno if it's you or the feeling Makes a girl keep coming around But something's got me runnin' around And around all over this town Think it's 'cause I'm crushin' on you Oh, what's a girl to do? Think I know better but I know I want you Oh, what's a girl to do? Coming up On the viaduct now, baby Pulling up I'm 22nd and Stockholm, baby On the viaduct when I hit my peak You feel me? Oh! Nights like this forever more Sometimes, sometimes I dunno anymore But at least I know what I'm looking for Sometimes I get laid right out at the door But at least I know what I'm looking for Sometimes, sometimes I dunno anymore But at least I know what I'm looking for Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes Sometimes~ Yeah! Pulling up I'm 22nd and Stockholm, baby On the viaduct when I hit my peak You feel me?

Shit! A mind like a haunted home When I'm on my own, I never feel alone It's like no matter where I go Never feel at ease, think I'm seeing ghosts No sleep; just try to go with the flow Keep those eyes wide open 'cause you never know I just get stoned, now I'm in my zone Yeah, hell for leather racing on my chrome Alter my state I'm staying wide awake Curses to break Widows to make I raise the stakes Holding the hand of fate Ante up Aces and eights Yeah, I do what I can do But thanks to you my fears keep coming true I'm feeling dead, seeing red Wishing I was anywhere but in my head Claustrophobic in the hotel room Check my six and check again Before I'm checking in, yeah Not neurotic, it's metempsychotic High road or low You're gonna reap what you sow Bleak repetition My fears constant Riptide current paranoia But I'm not dead yet Yeah! Alter my state I'm staying wide awake Curses to break Widows to make I raise the stakes Holding the hand of fate Ante up Aces and eights

Factores Ambientales 05:00
lyrics

A veces un lugar puede enseñarte de tú mismo No quieres verte condicionado por ti entorno Sin embargo, aquí estás Toma mi mano si algo sale mal No intentes nada Tú no quieres caerme mal Yo nací y crecí justo aquí No olvides Toma mi mano si algo sale mal No intentes nada Tú no quieres caerme mal Jajajaja Odio decir que ya lo te dije Mira, mira hacia arriba ¿Puedes ver lo que puedo? Casi como jinetes en el cielo Toma mi mano si algo sale mal No intentes nada Tú no quieres caerme mal Deberías escucharme Odio decir que ya lo te dije Ja~jajaja ¡Odio decir que ya lo te dije, pendejo! Factores ambientales Ellos nos hacen lo que somos Factores ambientales No lo torcido, no Factores ambientales No olvides de donde viniste Factores ambientales No olvides No olvides Factores ambientales Factores ambientales ---Translation--- Sometimes a place can teach you about yourself You don't want to be a product of your environment Yet here you are Take my hand if something goes wrong Don't try anything; you don't wanna cross me I was born & raised right here Don't you forget it Take my hand if something goes wrong Don't try anything; you don't wanna cross me Hahahaha Hate to say I told you so Look, look up Can you see what I can? Almost like...riders in the sky Take my hand if something goes wrong Don't try anything; you don't wanna cross me You ought to listen to me... Hate to say I told you so Ha~hahahaha Hate to say I told you so, asshole! Environmental factors They make us who we are Environmental factors Don't get it twisted, no Environmental factors Don't forget where you came from Environmental factors Don't forget, don't forget Environmental factors Environmental factors

The Hunter 05:17

Cursed blood; the city's plight Bleed you dry by the light of the moon As I hunt through the night Here from a far away land I'm the reaper's black hand, come to take you under I know right where you stand Exactly what you have planned I'll lead you asunder I'm never lonely in the house of the holy I keep my friends in the cathedral ward We can unravel slowly There's safety in numbers & blood on my sword 1, 2, 3, 4 Step to me I know your every move Shots fired but I counter smooth I want your worst I got nothing to lose Death won't hold me while I'm gunning for you Strut these streets, Cursed blood in my veins Blunderbuss & a threaded cane Death is just another part of the game Yeah, me & my prey are all one in the same There are no heroes in this city tonight We are all but beasts in each other's eyes Oh, the hunt is on We hunt With blood lust Blood lust Blood lust O, blood lust O, blood lust

Gravedancer 06:20

Warheads tear across the sky Deliverance of eternal night Harbingers of our doom impending Winter never-ending The godless wrath of time's passage Ruination strikes the doomsday clock Dogmatic greed, assimilation A dying earth in necrotic rot The pachyderms dealing their arms Armageddon in the year of the fox United states of avarice Angels of death standing in our midst The boy-king lurks beyond the pale Uroboros consumes its tail Warheads tear across the sky Deliverance of eternal night Harbingers of our doom impending Winter never-ending Becomes the tyrant the matador Gored and skewered on the toro's horns Hear the sirens, the reaper's knell Man has wrought this earthen hell The conquered mountain never seems to fail The summit unveils greater peaks to scale Wasteland survivors Like specters circumambulating They once were alive So fare thee well O, fare thee well See you in hell Oh! This American nightmare Never gives what it takes Apocalypse is coming Damnation in the home of the brave Your days are growing numbered Death's hand grants no escape Put beneath the mire I'll dance atop your grave
