Three Days After
You secretly laid a net as a trap before me,
And three days later you fell into your own trap!
So don't let your tongue speak any evil,
For the wicked borrows and does not repay.

Caught In A Trap
Sometimes you get caught in a trap and you dont know it
Sometimes its better to get out while you know it
Some people never learn they keep on falling
You can never get out if you keep on stalling
Then you get,
(chorus:) caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it cant go on
Caught in a trap
Sometimes you got to know where to run for cover
Sometimes your better out till the heat is over
Ah you get (chorus)
Caught in a trap
Dont know how it happened but then its too late
Then you gotta move on the times, you cant wait
Cus you got (chorus)
(chorus)

The problem was the journalists who also did not understand much of my music, but they wrote about it. I think you fell into the usual trap laid out by parts of the press and other writers: that the poor musician has always to fight the evil companies and managers.

Death Trap
I see you runnin
Youre gone
A million miles away
But you know Im comin
Violenz that
Blows you into space
And you think
Youre gonna get away
Like you did before
But youre the type
I never feel sorry for, so
Fall into my death trap
Fall into my death trap
Lifes paranoia
Youre hiding in
The dark all day
At nite I call you
Cause I know
Youre always wide awake
So you never
Sleep at all at nite
Extermination
Of youre wasted life
So now Ive got you
Youre cornered like a fool
I terminate you
Live by my golden rule
Task complete
And once again Ive won
Now I search
For another victim to come
I cant explain the sheer
Thrill of it all
Its such a chill
To watch the meek just fall
Death trap death trap
Death trap death trap
Fall in

Matt
A noose is laid down from me on the ground but,
I have a nose to smell this trap!
But death is hungry for all of us on this earth.
We have to move on with our various attitudes,
But let us always try to do the right thing;
And like the sweet birds singing to us aloud!
You have stripped me of my honour and,
You have stripped yourself bare before me!
But i escaped the trap only with the skin of my teeth!
I am ready for love and Matt is my lover in this town,
But there are traps set before me!
And i have to watch my steps in all the things that i do with Matt.

But She Painted Her Eyes
Stumble,
Tumble,
Fumble,
Humble;
The wicked borrows and does not repay!
Vanish,
Scorn,
Strangers,
Suffered;
From down under!
But she painted her eyes and fixed her hair,
And we were alike on this muse.

Less than an hour before he'd congratulated himself on escaping all the traps of Earth, all the snares of Man. Not knowing that the greatest trap of all, the final and the fatal trap, lay on this present planet.

Xadyah
You've eaten my bread of love but,
Yo've laid down a trap under me!
And like Xadyah who came along with some friends;
For your hidden things of love are now sought after.
Esau is Jordan and Jacob is Israel,
And like the robbers during the night!
But your close friends and guest have secretly sought out to destroy me.

The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game
Tracy thorn
Everyday brings change,and the world puts on a new face
Sudden things rearrange, and this whole world seems like a new place
Secretly I been tailing you
Like a fox that prays on a rabbitt
Had to get you and so I knew
I had to learn your ways and habits
Ooooooh, you were the catch that I was after
I looked up and I was in your arms and I knew that I was captured
Whats this whole world comin to
Things just aint the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
I had to lay such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me with a sudden slap
One kiss and then I knew it
Ooooooh, my plans didnt work out like I thought
cause I had laid my trap for you but it seems that I got caught
Whats this whole world comin to
Things just aint the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
Ah yeah, yeah yeah, hey yeah

Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window The guy looks out it, and if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like a regular window.

Were Not Going Back
Do you remember the good old days?
An empty stomach and a tear-stained face
Do you remember how it used to be?
The walking dead in the factory
I wont talk because
Its not as it was
You dont want the sack
Then dont doff your cap
{we are not going back} dont back pedal down a broken track
{we are not going back} Im alright jack is an easy trap
{we are not going back} no more need for wearing all black
{we are not going back} Im alright jack is an easy trap
Do you remember the dail pain
Of walking arouhnd with a ball and chain?
Do you recall when it was hard buyt fair?
You got your share on a line of a prayer.
Please put in my box
Some money for socks
Dont turn back the clocks
Its not as it was
{we are not going back} dont back pedal down a broken track
{we are not going back} Im alright jack is an easy trap
{we are not going back} no more need for wearing all black
{we are not going back} Im alright jack is an easy trap

I Will Overcome
You've set a trap for me but,
I will overcome it;
And like a rain in the fall.
The rain of the spring will bring me hope,
For this trap of yours is already seen by my neighbours;
Because, the stone is heavy and the sand is weighty!
But a fool's wrath is heavier to bear than both of them.

Trap and Bird
Birds flocking together
Blaming to the snared bird
Not for the trap
In the sense of knowing
Return not again to them
Find faults and blame him
Not to trap.
He has gone to go
A journey that never has gone.
If he crossed it
Birds would fly behind him.
Would and could be able
To eat and to taste
fruits and nuts
And to enjoy the freedom
Never have had

Love Potion
Chorus
I'll brew you a love potion
Even if it takes me five days
Five days would certainly be worth
All this pain you've secretly been giving me
But you didn't know it
End chorus
I'll wait for you by the fireside
Even if it takes me all night
All night would certainly be worth
Getting rid of this pain you've secretly been giving me
But you didn't know it
I'll brew you a love potion
Even if it takes me five days
Five days would certainly be worth
All this pain you've secretly been giving me
But you didn't know it
I'll sit with you, alone there
Sharing stories and trading laughs
Those laughs would all be worth
This pain you've secretly been giving me
But you didn't know it
I'll brew you a love potion
Even if it takes me five days
Five days would certainly be worth
All this pain you've secretly been giving me
But you didn't know it
Later on we'll sit there, old as dust
And you'll wish you could have willed me away
But I'll hold you close as we die
These days would certainly be worth
All this pain you've secretly been giving me
But you didn't know it
I'll brew you a love potion
Even if it takes me five days
Five days would certainly be worth
All this pain you've secretly been giving me
But you didn't know it
At the end of life I'll wish to bring
Those old days back from the dead
Relive them over and over again
When I brewed you that love potion
And it took me five days
Five days were certainly worth
All that pain you blasted me with
But you didn't know it
And now you know it
It's too late, you fell in love
You fell in love potion
Like the one I brewed for you
(Love Is) The Tender Trap
You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game
Every day brings change,
And the world puts on a new face,
Certain things rearange,
And the world seems like a new place.
Secretly Ive been trailing you,
Like a fox that preys on a rabbit,
I had to get you, and so I knew,
I had to learn all your ways and all your habbits.
Youre the catch that I was after,
I looked up and I was in yout arms,
And I know I was captured.
Whats this whole world coming to,
Things just aint the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.
I had laid such a tender trap,
Hoping you might fall into it,
But love hit me with a sudden slap,
Just one of your kisses and baby I knew it.
My plan didnt work out like I thought,
I had laid my trap for you,
But it seems, baby, I got caught.
Whats this whole world coming to,
Things just aint the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.
Youre the catch that I was after,
I looked up and I was in yout arms,
And I know I was captured.
Whats this whole world coming to,
Things just aint the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.

Angel Dont Cry
Uncanny woman
You weaved your spell on me
I was taken by the look in your eyes
For all the wrong reasons
You must have been a spiteful child
Full of anger
Raised by the hand of a duchess, a mother and a heathen
You laid your tender trap of crystals and wine
Your neck was sweetly laced with a scent I did not mind
I cant lie
I cant lie
I cant lie
Angel dont cry
Angel dont cry
Queen of darkness
You got your way with me
You caressed evry part of me soul
You got what you were after
A savage and an angel
You innocently hunger for love
Still shivering from the coldness of you laughter
You laid your tender trap of crystals and wine
Your neck was sweetly laced with a scent I did not mind
I cant lie
I cant lie
I cant lie
Angel dont cry
Angel dont cry
No, angel dont cry
Angel dont cry
No, no, no

The Trap (demo)
DON'T YOU WORRY, DON'T YOU WORRY
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
WELL LIFE IS THE TRAP, BUT IT SURE TASTES GOOD
AFAR FROM JUNK, IT AIN'T A FOOL
IT'S DARK, DARK AND LONELY
AND THERE'S NO ONE, NO ONE THERE
ALL THESE DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OF ITS FAIR
DON'T YOU WORRY, DON'T YOU WORRY
LIFE IS THE TRAP, IT'S COLD TO THE TOUCH
YOU GOT DIAMOND DREAMS, IT'S COLD TO THE TOUCH
IT'S DARK, DARK AND LONELY
AND THERE'S NO ONE, NO ONE THERE
DAYS OF ABANDON, NOTHING IS THERE
LOOSING REASON, LOOSING REASON
LOOSING REASON, LOOSING REASON TO CARE
WELL LIFE IS THE TRAP, BUT SURE TASTES GOOD
AFAR FROM JUNK THAN OF ITS FAIR
IT'S DARK, DARK AND LONELY
AND THERE'S NO ONE, NO ONE THERE
DON'T YOU WORRY
EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT

He Can Lift Me Up
Hard, have I endeavoured,
To lift myself up,
Mainly by my own bootstrap,
From this horrible trap.
The more I try,
The more I feel stranded,
‘Cos the reality is scary.
Strapped of opportunity,
Entrapped by paucity.
Can I ever lift myself up?
I can't run fast enough,
Just to remain where I am.
Getting out seems a phantasm,
A feat afar from a fantasy.
Can I ever lift myself up?
Somebody sold me a system,
Introduced me to somebody,
To whom there is no impossibility.
A celeb in critical cases,
A celebrity who can save anybody,
From even inconceivable condition.
He can lift me up
All He needs to change my fate,
Is to invest, in Him, my faith,
To qualify Him to alter my fortune,
And give me a bright future.
He can break this trap.
Only the Messiah,
The Ancient of Days,
Can set me free.
He can lift me up.
