LYRICS: 

You go on about the same old stories of where you've been and what you've done but someone's had enough of your shit and they want you gone 

Time is up for you, your life will transcend 
All of your sweet dreams must come to an end 
Left in the ground with no voice to be heard 
You'll never find out if anyone cared 

You won't see me coming 
There's no warning call 
You can't run or hide, your back's against the wall 

Flee from the scene 
Dead body - leave it be 
It's nothing new for me 
I'm too cold for misery 
A fateful guarantee, contracted killing spree 

For every time that you walk on the streets, you ruin lives as they fall at your feet, poison the innocent and walk away as soon as they pay 

Tables have turned and now you are the prey 
Death is upon you, today is the day 
This is a deal that will never fall through 
I don't get paid until I bury you 

You won't see me coming 
There's no warning call 
You can't run or hide, your back's against the wall 

Flee from the scene 
Dead body - leave it be 
It's nothing new for me 
I'm too cold for misery 
A fateful guarantee, contracted killing spree 

You will pay blood money 
Now you're the victim, no-more will you breathe in this life! 

[Samples of Richard Kuklinski from HBO documentary, ‘The Iceman Tapes: Conversations with a Killer’ in 1992.] 
"...You wouldn't be safe anywhere if I was mad at you. 
You could pull a gun on me and if I'm mad at you, I'm coming forward... 
…You'd have to shoot me to stop me and if you don't kill me, you're stupid, ‘cause the next time you see me...ha...I will kill you.” 

You won't see me coming 
There's no warning call 
You can't run or hide, your back's against the wall 

Flee from the scene 
Dead body - leave it be 
It's nothing new for me 
I'm too cold for misery 
A fateful guarantee, contracted killing spree

LYRICS:

Broken pieces mended by time

This new sense of direction,
A profound resilience,
Will lead me to an even greater height

If we stop pretending to be strong and allow ourselves to be loved in our weakness,
Then we become strong
Our wounds and scars are the cracks that most brightly reflect just who we are inside

The gaps of vanity,
Of pristine appearance and fractured manifestation,
Of mortal fate,
Deepens the appeal...
"You are more beautiful for being broken..."
You are more beautiful for being broken!

True life begins the moment you hit the bottom,
Broken pieces are mended by time

LYRICS:

Shut your eyes and follow the voices blindly to your demise
Stray from the light and hide your soul under lies

What's to save?
When you're half way in the grave, adrift in poison seas 'til all that's left is the emptiness from the birth of no father
Defective since the first sight of light
This infection eats away at the transparent weakening shell into nothing but the spirit of the weak and inauspicious

Worship your saviour in an organised temple then answer to the God of addiction to bring you home

Shut your eyes and follow the voices blindly to your demise
Stray from the light and hide your soul under lies
Your soul under lies

Michael Trainor
