- All Hallows Evil
I was working in a shop,
Selling coffee in the heart of the town,
And the Duke would come by with the apple of his eye,
But this fruit had a taste for the bad,
She liked cash, but wrinkles didn't match,
Her addiction to pleasures of flesh,
And when Duke found us bedded, he ordered the sheriff,
To kindly relieve me my head
- At War With The Thirst
When you go
Will you promise me the world
And make me cry
If you die
Bloody sheets
What I've give to make you bleed
And have you mine
Again
- Batten Down The Hatches
Wake from a memory
Old as a century
Evening beckons
With it's graces
Make for the rendezvous
Walk like I'm bulletproof
Start the clock!
- Bite Down On My Winchester
There was a boy I can recall
Fresh faced and sweet of soul
Never wanted anymore than to love and be loved
Until they beat him down and crushed
His spirits ground to dust
And they chased that boy away for good
Now I want my life
- Concede. Repent. Destroy
Just one taste a night
Is never enough to appease me
Cos I’m losing the fight
Oh honey you know it ain’t easy
To hide all my scars
You know I don’t want to scare you
But I’m falling apart
And I couldn’t stop it if I wanted to.
- Danger
Ohh, ohh, ohh.
The secret blackness of the winter snow
I remember summer
How we had such hopes
How our lives once worthless
We sure to change
How we spoke these words
With the joyful rage
- Diamond Dust
We meet at dusk outside the Manse Du Mirroir,
The Duke of Hearts arrives and through the looking glass we,
See the city right before our eyes,
And in the palace husk I sense your heartbeat,
And I would offer every breath of life I've claimed,
To have met you on some other day,
In some other world,
- Even Ghosts Forget
Even ghosts forget
We can't spend our time regretting
After all these moments
And every tower raised to the ground
To lay beneath that ashen sky
We promised not to fall in love
As the city cursed our blood
- Exploding Heart Disorder
Five drops of rainbow,
Bliss down my throat,
Like milkshakes on the dam,
The fires,
Grisly will-o’-the-wisps,
Laughing dead,
Out on the marshlands,
Cry out like the black,
- Maeby
Do you remember how he stole you away?
How he slit your throat and watched your spirit fade.
Do you remember how we kissed so breathlessly,
Like we were drowning in a cold and dying sea…
Draw back the curtain from my eyes
- Necromania
Take all you need,
Hope you enjoy it 'cos
The hang man you see
He dealt the cards I play
Ignore what you read
And I'm sure we'll get on swell
The life of the party as we burn in Hell
- Palace in Flames
Palace In Flames,
The king is dead a prince remains,
I will rise to rule,
The kingdom sees a brighter day...
Two days earlier sipping on some wine,
The cardinal, I'm told,
Is what they call a vampire
- Pleasure of the Pain
In the back alley cabaret
Where the girls and the boys are claimed
We'll find solace in the sticky floors
And the body heat of those aflame
Is it wrong of me to feel so much
In this climate of restraint
With every bottle drained a disapproving glance
- Say What You Want From Me
Out of dark into alleyways
Save your dreams and turn tail
Pray your demons lose scent of you
I'm comin' to get you!
I'm comin' to get you and gut you!
And then you must
Brace for impact and hell
I'm comin' to get you!
- The Pilot - P Train
For years I was told that I was worth no more than
Engine oil on my betters' boots
But I bore it all, their words laced with venomous
Envy steaming like opium in a junkie's pipe
I've seen idols fall, had my share of battles with
Higher powers taking everything I have
If in death I'm free then hip-hip-hooray
- The Thief - Merchants Of Decay
Here, not again
Tears hang in my throat I lose a breath
And bow my head.
Her, still asleep
Addictive like the moment of release
A little dying makes you feel.
Fall, of a day.
