End of the Line
01:16
|
|||
Brothers who yet are living mortal men
speak not of us with wrath and bitter tongue
since if your souls for us are filled with pain
the more will gods grace fall your hearts among
you see us here upon the gallows, hung
as dust and ashes now our bleached bones be
let no man than our hideous shapes decry
but pray that god may show us all mercy

Break the Chains
04:44
|
|||
I was born to break the chains
never run and hide
no laws that I'll abide
won'tcha join our side
no place to call my home
they took it away
locked me up to keep me safe
they say I'm not okay
now it's time to take what's mine
and whatever else I can find
take my hand and be my queen
together make our power seen
no remorse
and therefore
you'll know my name
I was born to bite the hand
feeding you these lies
don't trust a thing they say
look to my eyes
see the fire that lies within
it guards a soul that they can't win
I'll terrify and melt your brains
when its time for me to reign
now it's time to take what's mine
whatever else I can find
take my hand and be my queen
together make our power seen
When attention hits the screen
they do not know what they've seen
a single teardrop in the rain
our silent voices cry in shame
you are not like them x3
we are not the same
we've got no remorse
and therefore
we will break the chains

The Axe and the Tree
03:34
|
|||
caught me coming home from the liquor store
caught my foot in the back door
push, pull and knock me down
this tree falls with no sound
thought I had it all with the ace of spades
hook line and masquerade
prescription hindsight
ain't my type of game
to forget is half the battle
hear my hi-fi death rattle
caught me by surprise when you took a swing
everything, something or nothing
eyes dart side to side
ride the night with your gas light
shot for shot I'll stop
falling right in front of you
when I'm down cold and blue
I'll always remember you
to forget is half the battle
hear my hi-fi death rattle
as the story goes
memories do flow
the axe forgets
but the tree remembers

Step Closer
02:58
|
|||
late at night on empty streets
far beyond where eyes can see
things unknown to you and me
something strong will come to be
strangers from a time gone by
waiting just to realize
sun will set and moon will rise
when I look into your eyes
time is always on our side
won't you join me for the ride
all that I can ask of you
can ya
can ya
can ya
step closer

Little Evil
04:07
|

little evils of my own
been good for way too long
I ain't your sunny day
or topless cabaret
got a bottle in my hand
throw it at the baby grand
so easy
so tasteful
little evils
little evils
little evils of my own
been good for way too long
clean off my bowling shoes
on your red white and blue
so easy
so tasteful
little evils
I think I've heard this story before
a man of reason drive to be unreasonable
if war and violence is the way of man then what a man am I
little evils of my own
been good for way too long
this ain't your happy end
I'm not your good time friend
morals ain't so black and white
in the middle of a barroom fight
I'm a firebomb barbeque
exploding over you
so easy
so tasteful
little evils

A Town Called Doom
04:54
|
|||
wake me up
put me down
I've been sleeping way too long
I've been reeling
got a feeling
I'm stuck in a town called doom
floating slowly
I'm below me
I'm stuck in a town called doom
like a gear with no chain
spiral forever
til I can't spin again
bide my time
I'm consigned
in the window but the price is high
metaphysical
overcritical
turn it up baby you'll attune
floating slowly
I'm below me
I'm stuck in a town called doom
like a gear with no chain
spiral forever
til I can't spin again
emotion sick
that's that way
open my mouth but don't know what to say
when you're stuck in a place like this
the going's easy but you always miss
move with purpose
I'm above this
I'm stuck in a town called doom
like a gear with no chain
spiral forever
til I can't spin again
born to win but never learned how to play
everything that could go together falls apart

Burn
04:13
|

High and Dry again
comin off a pleasure cruise, I was born to lose
this time we'll take it by the reins
when we're done we'll never be the same
bridge aflame light my way
let me see another day
jump on in I swear the water's fine
ain't my first time walkin down the line
this time we'll burn the fucker down
light me up and spin me round
we're gonna burn this town to the ground
we're gonna burn it all away
light the match
try not to get attached
we're gonna burn it all away
flyin high again, not so easy to amuse
I've lived the ruse
this time we'll take it all and run
Start the car we're chasing down the sun
bridge aflame light my way
let me see another day
we're gonna burn this town to the ground
we're gonna burn it all away x3
we're gonna burn this town to the ground
we're gonna burn it all away
light the match
try not to get attached
we're gonna burn it all away

Long Way Down
03:34
|
|||
I've been stressing
second guessing
when the world will wait for me
I've been climbing
doubts arising
don't look now it's a long way
down the road and around the town
I'm trying my best just not to drown
shoot straight or wake up late
only one misstep
I've been waiting
contemplating
what's a risk with no reward
call me crazy
just not lazy
maybe the trip ain't worth the fall
it's a long way down from here
down the road ad around the town
I'm trying my best just not to drown
shoot straight of wake up late
only one misstep
lay me down or break my chains
living in a world of pain
I cannot, I will not
fall from here
I've been hiding
thoughts colliding
won't let fate decide for me
walking forward
give you my word
don't look now it's a long way
down the road and around the town
trying my best just not to drown
shoot straight or wake up late
it's a long way down from here

Gotta Get Back
04:30
|
|||
Thought I saw you in my dreams last night
to see you now is such a sight
and I might just let you in
tell me stories of futures passed
look into my heart of glass
I hope that this night comes to last
I'm afraid our time may have passed
Not all realizations
come to one in an instant
I stand the perfect example
gotta get back don't know why
so I'm staying at the heartbreak hotel
no vacancy except for me
can't you see
I gotta get back (x3)
stay away from my dreams tonight
I gotta get back (x3)

In Search of Lost Time
03:27
|
|||
Down on the city streets
electric eye is watching me
not sure what I wanna be
not what they want me to be
a slave to society
only working day to day
they tell me what to say
I won't listen anyway
and I know what they
want me to do
don't wanna be like you
it's all the same, nothing new
to be a part of their lucky few
I hear the horsemen coming
we're out of luck or maybe something
the gigs up so... happy hunting
in search of lost time
I'm working on my dime
in search of lost time
I'm working on my mind
down on the city streets
I've seen all that there is to see
people like you and me
fighting
because it's on your feet or on your knees
this world wont listen to your pleas
in search of lost time
I'm working on my dime
in search of lost time
I'm working on my mind

Tenebris en Extrimis
05:42
|
|||
Thought I saw your shadow
on the edge of town
fading like a memory
lost without a sound
I've been sleeping way too long
waiting for the day to come
destitute and downhearted
pleasantly departed
can't lose what you never had
so easy to let things go bad
I've been sleeping way too long
waiting for the day to come
transcendental, deaf or dumb
to change or become
I am the darkness
on the edge of town
one foot's in the grave
my hands are on a dream
bipolar coordinates
lead the way from bad to worse
pleasure and pain start the same
nocturnal premonitions send me home
if these pills are for me, I'll take them all and see what god wants me to be
I am the darkness
on the edge of town
one foot's in the grave
my hands are one a dream
I am the darkness
