[Verse 1]
You can't quit until you try
You can't live until you die
You can't learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you're the joke
There's nothing like a funeral
To make you feel alive
[Chorus]
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see
That life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry
At my funeral?
[Verse 2]
I know some things that you don't
I've done things that you won't
There's nothing like a trail of blood
To find your way back home
[Pre-Chorus]
I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral
To make me feel alive
[Chorus]
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see
That life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry
At my funeral?
[Breakdown]
[Bridge]
Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see
That life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry
At my funeral?
[Chorus]
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see
That life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry
At my funeral?
[Intro]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho
[Verse 1]
She lays down on the fresh lawn
She can make everything magical
But she tied one on big time
And it makes me wanna rewind
To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we're gonna win again
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you know we're gonna win again
Yeah, you know we're gonna win again
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the paranoid, yeah
[Verse 2]
She lays down on the sidewalk
Never very analytical
She is something simply beautiful
Re-appear when you feel magical
To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
Yeah, you know we're gonna win again
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the paranoid freak
[Bridge]
You're the one
You're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho
You're the one
You're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho
You're the one
You're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho
[Pre-Chorus]
Back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we're gonna win again
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the paranoid freak
[Outro]
You're the one (Maybe I'm the one)
You're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho (Maybe the one who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah)
You're the one (Maybe I'm the one)
I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho (Maybe I'm the one who is the paranoid freak)
You're the one
You're one who is the schizophrenic psycho
You're the one
You're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Crowded streets all cleared away, one by one
Hollow heroes separate, as they run
You're so cold, keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder, while strong men die
[Chorus]
Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well, that's alright, let's give this another try
[Verse 2]
If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry
You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me, one last time
[Chorus]
Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well, that's alright, let's give this another try
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well, that's alright, let's give this another try
[Outro]
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
[Verse 1]
If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?
Though I'm closer to wrong, I'm no further from right
And now I'm convinced on the inside, something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
No, there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie
But I'm tryin' to keep my intentions disguised
And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give
Deprived of my conscience, this all belongs to me (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
[Verse 3]
The deception you show is your own parasite
Just a word of advice, you can heed if you like
And now I'm convinced on the inside, something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
[Outro]
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me
And speak, but don't pretend I won't defend you anymore, you see
It aches in every bone
I'll die alone, but not for you
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing
I know it's me, you fear
[Pre Chorus]
If you want me, hold me back
Frail, the skin is dry and pale
The pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high
Just leave 'em where they lie
And tell yourself you'll be the death of me
[Verse 2]
I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away
So come, sit by the fire and play a while
But you can't stay too long
It aches in every bone
I'll die alone, but not for pleasure
I see my heart explode
It's been eroded by the weather here
[Pre Chorus]
If you want me, hold me back
[Chorus]
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave 'em where they lie
And tell yourself you'll be the death of me
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave 'em where they lie
And tell yourself you'll be the death of me
Bridge]
Hold your eyes closed, take me in
Hold your eyes closed, take me in
[Chorus]
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave 'em where they lie
And tell yourself you'll be the death of me
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave 'em where they lie
And tell yourself you'll be the death of me
Devon
Won't go to heaven
She's just another lost soul
About to be mine again
Leave her
We will receive her
It is beyond your control
Will you ever meet again
Devon
One of eleven
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little child
She was taken
And then forsaken
You will remember it all
Let it fill your mind again
Devon lies beyond this portal
Take the word of one immortal
Give your soul to me
For eternity
Release your life
To begin another time with her
End your grief with me
There's another way
Release your life
Take your place inside the fire with her
Sever
Now and forever
You're just another lost soul about to be mine again
See her, you'll never free her
You must surrender it all
If you'd like to meet again
Fire
For your desire
As she begins to turn cold for the final time
You will shiver
'Til you deliver
You will remember it all
Let it fill your mind again
Devon lies beyond this portal
Take the word of one immortal
Give your soul to me
For eternity
Release your life
To begin another time with her
End your grief with me
There's another way
Release your life
Take your place inside the fire with her
Take it away, yeah!
Give your soul to me
For eternity
Release your life
To begin another time with her
End your grief with me
There's another way
Release your life
Take your place inside the fire with her
Devon
One of eleven
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little child
She was taken
And then forsaken
You will remember it all
Let it fill your mind again, man
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with birth
No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow
Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound, it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with birth
Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope, end of love, end of time
The rest is silence
Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope, end of love, end of time
The rest is silence
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
End of all hope

[Instrumental break]
Verse 1]
If you were here
I'd whisper sweet nothings in your ear
And appeal to all your fears
If you were mine (if you were only mine)
I'd bring you so much further down
And twist your mind until the end of time
[Chorus]
You will never realize
What darkness lies inside, inside my mind
[Verse 2]
If you are down
I will come to chain you to the ground
And penetrate your mind
If you are lost (even if you are lost)
I'll be there to break your trust
And ravage all your lust for life, my love
[Chorus]
You will never realize
What darkness lies inside, inside my mind
Inside my mind
[Whisper] Memories, memories, memories
In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I prayed to the gods let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're ok
Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go on
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling, you know I love you
Till the end of time
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
All of my memories...
It's my red star
It's my red star (can't let go)
Best of cruel intentions
Binding what they fail to mention
No truth
All pretension
Raise your hand to give attention
You'd give it
We'd take it
You'd build it
We'd break it
You sign and we erase it
You'd feel it
We'd fake it
It's my red star (steal it)
It's my red star (can't let go)
It's my red star (conceal it)
It's my red star
Oh no...
Wasted education
Celebrating imitation
Misplaced admiration
Speaking for a generation
You'd give it
We'd take it
You'd build it
We'd break it
You sign and we erase it
You'd feel it
We fake it
It's my red star (steal it)
It's my red star (can't let go)
It's my red star (conceal it)
It's my red star
Oh no...
Hold it together, birds of a feather,
Nothing but lies and crooked wings.
I have the answer, spreading the cancer,
You are the faith inside me.
No, don't
Leave me to die here,
Help me survive here.
Alone, don't remember, remember.
[Chorus:]
Put me to sleep evil angel.
Open your wings evil angel.
A-ah.
I'm a believer,
Nothing could be worse,
All these imaginary friends.
Hiding betrayal,
Driving the nail,
Hoping to find a savior.
No, don't
Leave me to die here,
Help me survive here.
Alone, don't
Surrender, surrender.
[Chorus]
Oh.
Fly over me evil angel.
Why can't I breathe evil angel?
[Chorus]
Oh.
Fly over me evil angel.
Why can't I breathe evil angel?
Fall
Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover
I don't want to change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again
But I'm not giving in
I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away
Fall
Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to Heaven
All is lost again
But I'm not giving in
I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away
And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away
Open your eyes!
I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away
And I'll survive; paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away
Fall!
I pirouette in the dark
I see the stars through a mirror
Tired mechanical heart
Beats 'til the song disappears
[Chorus]
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Drop]
[Post-Chorus]
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Verse 2]
If only the clockwork could speak
I wouldn't be so alone
We burn every magnet and spring
And spiral into the unknown
[Chorus]
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Drop]
[Post-Chorus]
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Bridge]
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
(Only, only, only, only, only)
[Chorus]
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
[Drop]
[Post-Chorus]
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
God bless us everyone,
We're a broken people living under loaded gun.
And it can't be outfought,
It can't be outdone,
It can't be outmatched,
It can't be outrun.
No!
And when I close my eyes tonight,
To symphonies of blinding light!
God bless us everyone,
We're a broken people living under loaded gun.
Oh!
Like memories in cold decay,
Transmissions echoing away,
Far from the world of you and I,
Where oceans bleed into the sky!
[2x]
God save us everyone,
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hands,
The sins of our tongues,
The sins of our fathers,
The sins of our young.
No!
And when I close my eyes tonight,
To symphonies of blinding light!
God save us everyone,
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
Ooh!
Like memories in cold decay,
Transmissions echoing away,
Far from the world of you and I,
Where oceans bleed into the sky!
Oh!
Like memories in cold decay,
Transmissions echoing away,
Far from the world of you and I,
Where oceans bleed into the sky.
[10x]
Lift me up,
Let me go...
God bless us everyone,
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought,
It can't be outdone,
It can't be outmatched,
It can't be outrun.
No!
God bless us everyone,
We're a broken people living under loaded gun.
And it can't be outfought,
It can't be outdone,
It can't be outmatched,
It can't be outrun.
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy Name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us
Father please forgive me for the wrongs I have done
And for those I'm about to do
Tonight, there's gonna be a fight
So if you need a place to go
Got two room slum, a mattress and a gun
And the cops don't never show
So come right in because everybody sins
Welcome to the scene of the crime
You want it? Believe it? We got it if you need it
The devil is a friend of mine
If you think it's crazy, you haven't seen a thing
Just wait until we're going down in flames
We are, we are the saints, we signed our life away
Doesn't matter what you think, we're gonna do it anyway
We are, we are the saints, one day you will confess
And pray to the saints of Los Angeles
Red line tripping on a land mine, sipping at the Troubadour
Girls passed out naked in the back lounge, everybody's gonna score
She's all jacked up, she's down on her luck
You want it, you need it, the devils gonna feed it
Don't you say, it's crazy, you don't know a thing
Just wait until were going down in flames
We are, we are the saints, we signed our life away
Doesn't matter what you think, we're gonna do it anyway
We are, we are the saints, one day you will confess
And pray to the saints of Los Angeles
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
We are, we are the saints, we signed our life away
Doesn't matter what you think, we're gonna do it anyway
We are, we are the saints, one day you will confess
And pray to the saints of Los Angeles
I want a girl with lips like morphine
Knock me out every time they touch me
I wanna feel that kiss just crush me
And break me down
Knock me out!
Knock me out!
Cuz I've waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight
I want a girl with lips like morphine
Blow a kiss that leaves me gasping
I want to feel that lightning strike me
And burn me down
Knock me out!
Knock me out!
Cuz I've waited for all my life
To behere with you tonight
Just put me on my back
Knock me out again
Oh, I want a girl with lips like morphine
Knock me out everytime they touch me
I want a girl with lips like morphine
To knock me out
See I've waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight
Just put me on my back
Knock me out again.
[George:] This town has its claws buried in my neck
This town, it takes lives, without mercy, without hate
[Dallas:] The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies
[George:] The grass is growing on top of my feet
I'm sinking, won't be long, before I'm too deep to run
[Dallas:] The line up seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs.
[George:] We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break. Our steps seal our fate.
[Chorus:]
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).
[George:] Every step I take I leave a small piece
Of myself behind. Soon there will be nothing left.
[Dallas:] The cracks in the pavement,
Match the cracks in their weathered skin
[George:] The sky's a brick wall
The ground's a juggernaut
Each day they get a bit closer
Between them, I am caught.
[Dallas:] I stare in amazement,
I can't believe this is where I live.
[George:] Every breath I take I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass I'm more scars than skin
[Chorus:]
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).
[George:] Our steps seal fate, our steps seal fate.
This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls
[x2]
[Dallas:] This city, this city is haunted.
[George:] Oh! Walk with us. Oh! Down. Walk with us.
[Chorus:]
This city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).
Warn your warmth to turn away
Here, it's December every day (I like that)
Press your lips to the sculptures
And surely, you'll stay (Love like winter)
For of sugar and ice
I am made, I am made
(It's in the blood, it's in the blood)
I met my love before I was born
(He wanted love, I taste of blood)
He bit my lip, and drank my warmth
From years before, from years before
She exhales vanilla lace
I barely dreamt her, yesterday (Yesterday)
Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick trace
(Por siempre)
She said, "It seems you're somewhere far away," to his face
(It's in the blood, it's in the blood)
I met my love before I was born
(She wanted love, I taste of blood)
She bit my lip, and drank my warmth
From years before, from years before
Love like winter, oh-oh, oh-oh
Love like winter, winter
Three, four
(It's in the blood, it's in the blood)
I met my love before I was born
(He wanted love, I taste of blood)
He bit my lip, and drank my warmth
From years before, from years before
From years before
You could have been all I wanted
But you weren't honest
Now get in the ground
You choked off the surest of favors
But if you really loved me
You would have endured my world
Well if you're just as I presumed
A whore in sheep's clothing
Fucking up all I do
And if it's here we stop
Then never again
Will you see this in your life
Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs
You stormed off to scar the armada
Like Jesus played letter
I'll drill through your hands
The stone for the curse you have blamed me
With love and devotion I'll die as you sleep
But if you could just write me out
To neverless wonder... happy will I become
Be true that this is no option
So with sin I condemn you
Demon play, demon out!
Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
I'd do anything for you
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
Before I hope you die
Bound to your side and trapped in silence
Just a possession
Is the sex or only violence
That feeds your obsession
You send me to a broken state
Where I can take the pain
Just long enough
That I am numb
That I just disappear
So go on infect me
Go on and scare me to death
Tell me I asked for it
Tell me I'll never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
Does it feel good tonight
Hurt me with nothing
Some sort of sick satisfaction
You Get from mind fucking
Oh stripped down to my naked core
The darkest corners of my mind are yours
That's where you live
That's where you breathe
So go on infect me
Go on and scare me to death
Dare me to leave you
Tell me I'd never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
Without any faith
Without any light
Can dare me to live
Can dare me to lie
Inside I am dead
So go on infect me
Go on and scare me to death
I'll be the victim
You'll be the voice in my head
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
One last kiss before they cart me away
And just take one last look before my body decays
This is my last night on earth
My fucking hell
All my life, all I've wanted to say
This is love, love, love, while the symphony plays
Here in death, I would cut my breath just to stay
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
(Take the vision away)
You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser alive
On a suicide mission to die
You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser inside
Suicide
You're beautiful, yeah
I'm a suicide
Fuck, fuck, fuck, I wanna fuck 'til we bleed
And there's a time crunch, baby, I don't want to believe
This is my last night on earth
My fucking hell
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
(Take the vision away)
You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser alive
On a suicide mission to die
You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser inside
Suicide
You're beautiful yeah
I'm a suicide
You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser alive
On a suicide mission to die
You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser inside
Suicide

You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser alive
On a suicide mission to die
You're beautiful, beautiful

You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser alive
On a suicide mission to die
You're beautiful, beautiful
I'm a loser inside
Suicide
You're beautiful yeah
I'm a suicide
This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye 'round here, look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked
The Beast and the Harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great
The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky
The Beast and the Harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great
The day has come for all us sinners
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around
I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to hell
You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great
Ignorance breeds fear, breeds hate, breeds violence
Everything falls down and breaks in silence
We could forgive and then forget and start over
We could finally try it stone cold sober
No more dark clouds over the horizon
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
Loneliness is the curse of the broken hearted
I came undone and you just fell apart
Maybe some distance can heal us both now
We had it once but we lost it somehow
Maybe the dark clouds are finally behind us
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
Ignorance breeds hate breeds violence
Everything breaks down in silence
Your ignorance breeds hate breeds violence
Everything breaks down in silence
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
Burning here, in my room
Feeling that
The walls are moving closer
Silent scene
The dark takes me
Leads me to
The ending of another day
I'm haunted
Tell me who you are
I am spellbound
You cannot have this control of me
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
I will break the spell you put on me
Velvet drapes, glowing candles
Silent whispers
Of words inside of my head
The night-time comes
It waits for me
Leads me to
The ending of another day
I'm haunted
Tell me who you are
I am spellbound
You cannot have this control of me
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
I will break the spell you put on me
(On me, on me)
(Break the spell)
Tell me who you are
I am spellbound
You cannot have this control of me
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
I will break the spell you put on me
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
I will break the spell you put on me
I pull the switch, all systems down
and all that's left is the sound
of a know-it-all who's left in doubt
reaching for stars
you know you can't get far
if you don't know who you are
fame can leave a scar
And now I bite the hand
that's feeding me
cause that hand is so deceiving
is there a law against
believing in yourself
They say I'm going nowhere
and you know that I don't care
how I'm getting there
some things never change
in this endless game
they say I'm going nowhere
and you know that I don't care
how I'm getting there
I packed my bags, I wish you well
I found myself a brand new hell
You, in your suit and tie
try and dictate my life
with all your lies
no respect, no loyalty
nobody rides free
especially with me
And now I bite the hand
that's feeding me
cause that hand is so deceiving
is there a law against
believing in yourself
They say I'm going nowhere
and you know that I don't care
how I'm getting there
some things never change
in this endless game
they say I'm going nowhere
and you know that I don't care
how I'm getting there
I packed my bags, I wish you well
I found myself a brand new hell
Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been out of your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox, house of cards and glass
So don't go tossin' your stones around
You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been
Foot in mouth and head up ass
So what you talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'Til you pull it out, boy!
You must have been so high
You must have been so high
Steal, borrow, refer, save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung the jury with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high
You must have been high, high
Who are you to wave your finger?
So full of it
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Fuckin' hypocrite
Liar, lawyer, mirror, show me what's the difference?
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must've been!
So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind!
Weepin' shades of indigo shed without a reason
Weepin' shades of indigo
Liar, lawyer, mirror for you, what's the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned. He's guilty as the government
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye!
Now when you pissed all over my black kettle
You must've been high, high, high, high
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Your balls deep in muddy waters
Ganja, please, you must have been out your mind!
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it?
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it?
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get it back
The life we had
Won't be ours again
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late
And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground
And if they get me, take this spike to my heart and
And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me, take this spike and
You put the spike in my heart!
And if the sun comes up
Will it tear the skin right off our bones?
And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks
I saw you there
Someone get me to the doctor, someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole
And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat
And if they come and get me
What if you put the spike in my heart?
And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me, take this spike and
Come on!
Can you take this spike?
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless night time sky?
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black feeling?
And now the nightclub sets the stage for this
They come in pairs
She said, "We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey
They're always there"
Someone get me to the doctor and someone call the nurse
And someone buy me roses and someone burned the church
We're hanging out with corpses and driving in this hearse
And someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul
Can you take this spike?
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless night time sky?
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black now?
Let's go! Come on!
And as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over us
Tonight
And as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over us
Tonight
I'll never let them, I'll never let them
I'll never let them hurt you, not tonight
I'll never let them, I can't forget them
I'll never let them hurt you, I promise
Struck down before our prime
Before you got off the floor
Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
And these thoughts of endless night
(Bring us back into the light)
Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
And this venom from my heart
(Bring us back into the light)
(Bring us back into the light)
Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
(Bring us back into the light)
Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
(Bring us back into the light)
Can you stake me before the sun goes down?
And as always, innocent like roller coasters
Fatality is like ghosts in snow
And you have no idea what you're up against
Because I've seen what they look like
Becoming perfect as if they were sterling silver chainsaws
Going cascading
Sweet little words made for silence
Not so young, heartfelt love not heartache
Dark hair fall, catch in the wind
Not the will, the sight of a cold world
Kiss,
While your lips are still red
While he's still in silent rest
While bosom is still untouched
Unveiled on another hair
While the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
Compassion, its power's never are wasted wrong
The violin, the poet's hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss,
While your lips are still red
While he's still in silent rest
While bosom is still untouched
Unveiled on another hair
While the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
All that I've known
Is the love that she gave to me
Hands on my throat, oh oh
Oh she's making it hard to breathe
So far from divine
Evil personified
And I let her inside
Filling my nights
With our wicked games
Danger I wanna taste
Oh, we're both the same
Our love's sick and twisted
Just how I want (how I want)
Got me so addicted
I crave the rush (crave the rush)
She's got me on my knees without a touch
Our love's sick and twisted
And I can't get enough
Get enough
Nobody knows
All the ways that we live for the pain
Places we go, oh oh
Try to run but we'll never escape
So far from divine
Evil personified
And I let her inside
Filling my nights
With our wicked games
Danger I want a taste
Oh, we're both the same
Our love's sick and twisted
Just how I want (how I want)
Got me so addicted
I crave the rush (crave the rush)
She's got me on my knees without a touch
Our love's sick and twisted
And I can't get enough (enough)
Get enough (enough)
Our love's sick and
Twisted
Twisted (oh)
Twisted
Our love's sick and
Twisted (ah)
Twisted (it's sick and)
Twisted
Twisted
We're probably on a path to self destruction any day
But I know you love the rush, you need it running through your veins
Addicted to the pressure, we don't ever play it safe
(Ever play it safe)
Find myself
In this world made for two
Where only one gets the crown
Took a step (step)
Into something new (new)
I won't ever turn around
'Til I'm lost in your maze
I'm onto you
In love with the chase
Yeah, we're playing the most dangerous game
And I'm all in, all in
Yeah, it calls our name
We love being each others prey
Yeah, we're playing the most dangerous game
And I'm all in, all in
Poison in your touch, you're both the drug and antidote
We've been dancing with the devil trying not to lose control
Fire in your eyes yeah I can feel you getting close
Find myself
In this world made for two
Where only one gets the crown
Took a step (step)
Into something new (new)
I won't ever turn around
'Til I'm lost in your maze
I'm onto you
In love with the chase
Yeah, we're playing the most dangerous game
And I'm all in, all in
Yeah, it calls our name
We love being each others prey
Yeah, we're playing the most dangerous game
And I'm all in, all in
Maybe we'll beat the odds
But we don't know the cost
No, I won't ever stop
'Til I'm lost in your maze (maze)
I'm onto you
In love with the chase (chase)
Yeah, we're playing the most dangerous game
And I'm all in, all in (I'm all in)
Yeah, it calls our name (name)
We love being each others prey (prey)
Yeah, we're playing the most dangerous game
And I'm all in, all in (I'm all in)
You!
Why do they always send the poor?
Barbarisms by Barbaras with pointed heels
Victorious Victoria's kneel for brand new spanking deals
Marching forward, hypocritic and hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection, yet you feed us lies from the table cloth
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox, stealing our intentions
Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, "Freedom"
Handed to obsoletion, still, you feed us lies from the table cloth
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
Blast off, it's party time
And we don't live in a fascist nation
Blast off, it's party time
And where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why they always send the poor?
Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox, stealing our intentions
Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, "Freedom"
Handed to obsoletion, still, you feed us lies from the table cloth
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

They always send the poor, they always send the poor
His little whispers
"Love me, love me
That's all I ask for
Love me, love me"
He battered his tiny fists to feel something
Wondered what it's like to touch and feel something
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the window
That night he caged her
Bruised and broke her
He struggled closer
Then he stole her
Violet wrists and then her ankles
Silent pain
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
Time will
Hear their voices
I'm a glass child
I am Hannah's regrets
Monster
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down
Murder ears with pillow lace
There's bathtubs
Full of glow flies
Bathe in kerosene
Their words tattooed in his veins, yeah!
Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong
Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of You
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As You flew right through me
Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow last through this night
I'll take this piece of You
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As You flew right through me
And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel light
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of You
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As You flew right through me
And up into the stars
Joy will come!
There's something about you,
I can not explain
I just want to know you,
I just want to know your name
It's not what you said,
Not the way you said it
I'm under your spell and I don't regret it
Take my breath,
Baby reach inside my chest,
You can have whatever's left,
Cause baby I'm possessed
Don't you try to hide with those angel eyes
(If you let me inside, I wont hold back this time)
Such a deep disguise, the devil's right inside
(More than paralyzed, oh its the chase you like)
There's a darkness,
I can feel it in your touch
I should get away, get away
I want you way too much
Take my breath,
Baby reach inside my chest,
You can have whatever's left,
Cause baby I'm possessed
Don't you try to hide with those angel eyes
(If you let me inside, I wont hold back this time)
Such a deep disguise, the devil's right inside
(More than paralyzed, Oh its the chase you like)
I don't care how many times it takes to get through to you,
This is a force that not even God can stop,
You're fucking mine
You have this power over me
And there's no way to fight it
I cant help but gravitate towards you,
This is a force I can't defeat
Take my breath,
Baby reach inside my chest,
Don't you try to hide with those angel eyes
(If you let me inside, I wont hold back this time)
Such a deep disguise, the devil's right inside
(More than paralyzed, watch out the devil's inside)
It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching for any sign
Of the ones he used to love..
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left...)
And this time I think you'll know..
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
She's just like him
Spoiled rotten
Confused by the lies she's been fed
And she's searching for no one..
(But herself)
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy
That she is her
And this time I think you'll know...
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
(There is more to know)
We're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell..
(So tell me)
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
(Make it out)
You will live to tell
(Live to tell)
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
(And I know)
You can make it out
You will live to tell..
You are not alone
You're not, you're not alone
