The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

When you're weary

Feeling small

When tears are in your eyes

I will dry them all



I'm on your side

When times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down



When you're down and out

When you're on the street

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you



I'll take your part

When darkness comes



And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down



Sail on Silver Girl,

Sail on by

Your time has come to shine

All your dreams are on their way



See how they shine

If you need a friend

I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

When you're down and troubled

And you need a helping hand

And nothin, oh nothing is going right



Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest night



Chorus:

You just call on my name

And you know where ever you are

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer and fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there, yes I will

You've got a friend





If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind should begin to blow

Just keep your head together now

And call my name out loud

And soon I will be a knocking upon your door



Chorus



Hey ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

When people can be so cold

They'll hurt you, they'll desert you

They'll take your soul if you let them

Oh baby don't you let them.



Chorus

She was born at 6am on New Year's Day,

In an alley right at the heart of where the homeless children play,

And the truth is that we will never even know her name,

Cos as long as we can fill our glasses up, we will look the other way.



And it's not that far from here, to New Orleans,

Where the seemingly forgotten people are still foreclosen on their dreams,

And we'd just as soon keep on staring at the TV screen,

While this world just bleeds to death like some romantic end to a movie.



Oh my God, this is insane,

How'd it get like this, or has it always been this way,

Oh my God, I'm so ashamed,

When we try to close our eyes and make this go away.



And we sit in our highrise apartments and complain about things that don't matter,

And we race through this life just to see who can die with as much as we can gather,

And a few blocks away a teenage mother plays Russian Roulette with her daughter,

Is this the best that we can do, is this the best that we can do.



Oh my God, this is insane,

How'd it get like this, or has it always been this way,

Oh my God, I'm so ashamed,

When we close our eyes to make this go away.

Laughing like we're crazy

Nothing mattered

Nothing fazed me

We were younger then

So much younger then

Everything seems rotten through

The eyes of the forgotten

And we were dumber then

So much dumber then



Well have I judged a book by how its bound

Am I lost or am I found

And are you with me

Are you with me now

Come back from the dead

You've been inside your head for too long

Are you with me now

Find the places that scare you

Come on I dare you

Are you with me

Are you with me



The years they took their toll

And all the things I can't control

Come back to haunt me now

Almost taunt me now

Whats left to be afraid of

We found out what we are made of

And we've come this far

We both have the scars



Have I ever judged a book by how its bound

Am I lost or am I found

And are you with me

Are you with me now

Come back from the dead

You've been inside your head for too long

Are you with me now

Find the places that scare you

Come on I dare you

Are you with me

Are you with me

Are you with me

Are you with me



Well have I judged a book by how its bound

Am I lost or am I found

And are you with me

Come back from the dead

You've been inside your head for too long

Find the places that scare you

Are you with me now

Come back from the dead

You've been inside your head for too long

Are you with me now

Find the places that scare you

Come on I dare you

OH

Come on I dare you

Are you with me

Are you with me

Are you with me

Are you with me

Are you with me

Are you with me

Well this ain't no sideshow

This is the great unknown

This is the poison we take

Yeah



Outside the velvet rope

Standing there all alone

Are the grotesque and ashamed

Yeah



Well if you think real beauty's on the outside

Well that's a far cry

From the truth



Maybe all the information you received

Well you should not believe

There's no proof



Save yourself from all the lies of the beautiful people

It's time to run from the lies of the beautiful people



I feel so traumatized

Doped up and televised

Life can be cruel and insane

Yeah



But we've got these ugly scars

On our infected hearts

Maybe it's time for a change

Yeah



And if you think real beauty's on the outside

Well that's a far cry

From the truth



Maybe all the information you received

Well you should not believe

There's no proof



Save yourself from all the lies of the beautiful people

It's time to run from the lies of the beautiful people



Save yourself from all the lies of the beautiful people

Just run and hide from the lies of the beautiful



Save yourself from all the lies of the beautiful people

It's time to run from the lies of the beautiful people

Feels like your life is over

Feels like all hope is gone

You kiss it all away

Maybe maybe

This is a second coming

This is a call to arms

Your finest hour won't be wasted wasted

Hey hey hell is what you make make

Rise against your fate fate

Nothing's gonna keep you down

Even if it's killing you

Because you know the truth



Listen up listen up

There's a devil in the church

Got a bullet in the chamber

And this is gonna hurt

Let it out let it out

You can scream and you can shout

Keep your secrets in the shadows and you'll be sorry

Everybody's getting numb

Everybody's on the run

Listen up listen up

There's a devil in the church

Got a bullet in the chamber

And this is gonna hurt



You got your hell together

You know it could be worse

A self-inflicted murder

Maybe maybe

You say it's all a crisis

You say it's all a blur

There comes a time you've gotta face it face it

Hey hey hell is what you make make

Rise against your fate fate

Nothing's gonna keep you down

Even if it's killing you

Because you know the truth

Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call

Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh



You've nothing to say

They're breaking away

If you listen to fools...

The Mob Rules

The Mob Rules



Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same

Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh



It's over, it's done

The end is begun

If you listen to fools...

The Mob Rules



You've nothing to say

Oh, They're breaking away

If you listen to fools...



Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground

Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around



You're all fools!

The Mob Rules!

Sing me a song, you're a singer

Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil

The Devil is never a maker

The less that you give, you're a taker

So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell, oh well



The lover of life's not a sinner

The ending is just a beginner

The closer you get to the meaning

The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming

So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on

It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell

I can tell, fool, fool!



Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion

For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life

Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer

And it's on and on, on and on and on....



They say that life's a carousel

Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well

The world is full of Kings and Queens

Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams

It's Heaven and Hell, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white

The moon is just the sun at night

And when you walk in golden halls

You get to keep the gold that falls

It's Heaven and Hell, oh no!

Fool, fool!

You've got to bleed for the dancer!

Fool, fool!

Look for the answer!

Fool, fool, fool!

Generals gathered in their masses

Just like witches at black masses

Evil minds that plot destruction

Sorcerers of death's construction

In the fields the bodies burning

As the war machine keeps turning

Death and hatred to mankind

Poisoning their brainwashed minds... Oh Lord yeah!



Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that role to the poor, yeah



Time will tell on their power minds

Making war just for fun

Treating people just like pawns in chess

Wait 'till their Judgment day comes, yeah!



Now in darkness, world stops turning

Ashes where the bodies burning

No more war pigs of the power

Hand of God has struck the hour

Day of Judgment, God is calling

On their knees the war pigs crawling

Begging mercy for their sins

Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

Oh Lord yeah!

In the misty morning, on the edge of time

We've lost the rising sun, a final sign

As the misty morning rolls away to die

Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky



We sailed across the air before we learned to fly

We thought that it could never end

We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run, run

Now it seems our world has come undone



Oh they say that it's over

And it just had to be

Ooh they say that it's over

We're lost children of the sea, oh



We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played

Hiding in our corner of the world

Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore

Threw away the key and locked the door



Oh they say that it's over, yeah

And it just had to be

Yes they say that it's over

We're lost children of the sea



In the misty morning, on the edge of time

We've lost the rising sun, a final sign

As the misty morning rolls away to die

Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky



Oh they say that it's over, yeah

And it just had to be

Oh they say that it's over

Poor lost children of the sea, yeah



LOOK OUT! the sky is falling down!

LOOK OUT! The world is spinning round and round and round!

LOOK OUT! The sun is going black, black

LOOK OUT! It's never never never coming back, LOOK OUT!
