1.	The Crossroads 04:53	lyrics	buy track
Made the deal at the crossroads Sold my soul at the crossroads baby I made the deal for ten years of fame Gave my soul away with no shame The man in black said “you know that you should” I signed on the bottom line in my blood Made the deal at the crossroads Sold my soul at the crossroads baby Now it looks like it’s all coming true The promise that he made has come through Give me just a little bit more time I ain’t quite ready to give up my mind Made the deal at the crossroads Sold my soul at the crossroads baby My ten is done, but baby I want more I’m running now to keep from the killing floor Looks like I got the hellhounds on my trail I’d beg for a new deal but I think I’d fail. Made the deal at the crossroads Sold my soul at the crossroads baby
2.	Woman In Black 04:19	lyrics	buy track
She came to me in the dark of the night Her eyes were burning, the flame was so bright The heat of her touch just felt so alive Mystery woman come and love me tonight Where is my woman, my woman in black Somebody find her, she’s got to come back Don’t really know her, but she’s sure got the knack I need that woman, the woman in black She opened my window like a thief in the night The moon lit her body, an unbelievable sight She took me and shook me until it was light Love me and left me, one helluva night Was she real or maybe she’s make believe The way that she loved me was no strange fantasy Ain’t no way I can live without her love again Craving her love is gonna drive me insane where is my woman, my woman in black where is that woman, she needs to come back somebody find her, my woman in black I need that woman, the woman in black
3.	Dead Man's Hand 03:19	lyrics	buy track
A pair of aces, and a pair of eights That’s the hand I’m holding at the pearly gates I know you’re cheating, I can see it in your eyes You got nothing up your sleeve, I know you’re telling lies You’re trying to deceive me with your poker face But I know I’ve got you beat when I draw the final ace I’m counting all my winnings and what’s left in my stack I never see you coming, you shoot me in the back Playing the Dead Man’s Hand You might as well fold and stand I’m gonna win, so wipe off that grin ‘Cos I’m playing the Dead Man’s Hand The game is five card stud, when you take your seat You’re already drunk and you’re already beat I take all of your money, winning fair and square But you keep on playing, you act like you don’t care Even though I’m Wild Bill, I’m just being nice But you just keep on losing, won’t listen to my advice You get offended and say you want me dead And when I turn my back you shoot me in the head Playing the Dead Man’s Hand You might as well fold and stand I’m gonna win, so wipe off that grin ‘Cos I’m playing the Dead Man’s Hand

No one’s comin’ for me I’m the one thing you won’t see A surprise attack, Like a knife in the back No one’s comin’ for me No one’s comin’ for me I’ll get you when you sleep I’m in too deep, There’s no time to weep No one’s comin’ for me I’m the one you’re scared of I’m the one who’s mean I’m the one you run from Twisted and obscene No one’s comin’ for me I’m innocent don’t you see It wasn’t me, That made you bleed No one’s comin’ for me I’m the one you’re scared of I’m the one who’s mean I’m the one you run from Twisted and obscene No one’s comin’ for me I’m the one thing you won’t see A surprise attack, Like a knife in the back No one’s comin’ for me...

Come lift the weight from off my shoulders I’m walking tall as I get older Love’s in the eyes of the beholder Come keep me warm when I get colder Had no friends for such a long time They’re making me go out of my mind Everybody treating me so unkind And you, saved me from hell Always tried to be a winner Always wound up as the sinner I saw the light begin to shimmer Anger and fire start to dimmer Always felt the devil in me You came along and let me be me Unleash the demons and help set them free And you, saved me from hell Yes you, saved me from hell Always felt the devil in me You came along and let me be me Unleash the demons and help set them free Cos you, saved me from hell Yes you, saved me from hell saved me from hell saved me from hell saved me from hell
6.	Tear Me Down 06:01	lyrics	buy track
You can try and criticise, All your people hypnotised with your rumours and your lies, Your opinions I despise All your words are filled with hate, Cos your ego says you’re great But I can see through you, And I will see that you are through You can tear me down I will wear your crown You can fight me ‘til the end I will beat you again and again I will never let you go, And there’s one thing you should know For this promise I will make, My spirit you won’t break You say I’ve had my time, So drink up all your wine I believe I’ve had my say, I’ll see you on your way I will never let you go, And there’s one thing you should know For this promise I will make, My spirit you won’t break
7.	Hard Road 07:37	lyrics	buy track
You’re gonna break my back All this shit that you’re piling on me You’re gonna make me crack What is it you wanna be You can never come back You wanna walk this road with me It’s the courage you lack Take this first step with me Your stagnant mind Bores me time after time You got a blinkered view Is that the best you can do Your stupid ways Leave my brain in a daze You think it’s all about you But no one loves what you do Every step I take is down the hard road Every move I make is on the hard road Every step just leads me down the hard road Every move I make is on the hard road Now can you see me I’m free to do as I choose It’s not the easy way out But I know I ain’t gonna lose I wish you all well I’d like to say it’s been fun I’ll leave you behind I’ve learned how to walk and to run
8.	Baptised In The Flames 05:54	lyrics	buy track
I was baptised in the flames The future says I’ll die the same My father says I was to blame My mother left me with no name Burning me, baptising me Burned by flames of destiny Burning me, baptising me Wash my sins away Shied away from at my birth Said I wore the devil’s curse Scars upon me left their mark Blackened soul and death cold heart Burning me, baptising me Burned by flames of destiny Burning me, baptising me Wash my sins away Turned away from my own home Left outside to die alone Learned survival on my own Afraid of nothing but the unknown Burning me, baptising me Burned by flames of destiny Burning me, baptising me Wash my sins away
9.	What We're Living For 03:39	lyrics	buy track
You can’t stop me from reading the stories You can’t make me believe You can show me the lies and the fiction I know you’re trying to deceive I will make up my own mind, believe me You’ll be the first one to know I will do anything that I want to I won’t go with the flow Dreaming, believing, it’s what we’re living for Seeing, breathing, it’s what we’re living for Trying, dying, it’s what we’re living for Fighting, surviving, it’s what we’re living for I’m not here just to make up the numbers I’ve got too much to give I won’t let you stop me from dreaming This life is too good to leave You can’t stop me from reading the stories You can’t make me believe You can show me the lies and the fiction I know you’re trying to deceive
