Tell me what it is that I′m supposed to do. I aint here for everybody, but I aint here for you, You said it isn′t right, but you said it isn′t wrong. I wish somebody could tell me, what it is that I′ve done wrong.
The best things in live aren′t given, these things aint for you and me, Every time you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see. The best things in live aren′t given, these things aint for you and me, Every time you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.

Can you see me, are you near me? Can you hear me crying out for life? Can you tell me, where′s the glory? Ride the days and sail the nights When it′s over you′ll find the answer Running in the whispering rain Anno Mundi? Can you wonder! Truth of thunder, life or blame
Do you see a vision of a perfect place? Does it make you laugh, put a smile on your face? Do you need a mirror, do you see it well? Does the hand of God still toll the bell? There are people laughing They′re all laughing on you If only they could see what you′re saying is true Still generals fighting, making war on the world Don′t they know, don′t they know? No, no, no
The wind in the night blows cold Your eyes are burning As the sands of our time grow old Anno mundi
Do you follow the path that so many tread? Are you among the blind so easily lead? Do you join the war, do you fight for the cause? Depend on another to fight it alone
Can you see me now, can you hear me now? Can you tell me, where′s the glory? Ride the days and sail the nights When it′s over, you′ll find the answer Runnin′ in the rain
There′s a hope that′s growing and a vision too All those angry hearts now reach out for you Do you look to the dawn, see a new day begun? No longer the fool, the vision is done
He saw the world, dim with the glow of the vertical sun His skin crept cold knowing that this was the hours of dying Misguided mortals, you′ll burn with me Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls – This is the hours of dying When Death Calls – The spirit of man cannot be freed When Death Calls – There′s no tomorrow When Death Calls – Just an evil shadow
Tell me not fear of the flames means that heaven is closer For I believe Satan lives, in the souls of the dying Misguided mortals, you′ll burn with me Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls – Heaven is closer When Death Calls – Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying When Death Calls – here it comes, here it comes, here it comes When Death Calls – You′re gonna burn
Don′t look in those sunken eyes Don′t look and you′ll stay alive Don′t laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister Can′t die until Satan says you die And Satan takes your soul In the face of death or your toungue will blister
Don′t look in those sunken eyes Don′t look and you′ll stay alive Don′t laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister Can′t die until Satan says you die The Devil takes your soul With all his wrath he calls the reaper
When Death Calls – This is the hours of dying When Death Calls – The spirit of man cannot be freed When Death Calls – There′s no tomorrow When Death Calls – Just an evil shadow When Death Calls – Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying When Death Calls – You′re gonna burn, burn, burn When Death Calls – Heaven is closer When Death Calls – I can feel it, gonna take you down
What you gonna do? Time′s caught up eith you Now you wait your turn, you know there′s no return Take your written rules, you join the other fools Turn to something new, now it′s killing you
First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm Disillusioning, you push the needle in From life you escape, reality′s that way Colours in your mind satisfy your time

Head starts spinning ′round, you fall down to the ground Feel your body heave, Death′s hands starts to weave It′s too late to turn, you won′t want to learn Price of life you cry, now you′re gonna die!
We sail through endless skies stars shine like eyes the black night sighs The moon in silver trees falls down in tears light of the night The earth, a purple blaze of sapphire haze in orbit always
While down below the trees bathed in cool breeze silver starlight breaks down the night And so we pass on by the crimson eye of great god Mars as we travel the universe
Oh what are you gonna do When there′s a part of you That needs to run with the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays Can only light the way To lead you from The garden of the dark Stay out of shadows
Now look like the change is on Tomorrow′s never gone Today just never comes
Go on and jump, yeah Into the hurricane You will forget the pain It′s only there To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world When you′ve open up your eyes You′ve got to see the promises they′ve made They′re bloody lies and broken dreams Your silence screams
You′re living in a time machine And you can choose just who you are Someone that you′ve never seen Somewhere you′ve never been You′re living in a time machine
Oh what are you gonna do When every part of you Just needs to catch the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays Can only light the way To lead you from The garden of the dark
Looking for the world When you′ve opened up your eyes You′ll see you′ve got invisible chains They′re only lies Not what it seems I hear your silent screams
You′re living in a time machine Nobody cares just where you go Taken where you′ve never been ??? somewhere you don′t know
You′re living in a time machine Why do you stay who you are Be what you′ve never been Someone you′ve never seen You′re living in a time machine Yeah
Say you don′t know me, you′ll burn You can refuse, but you′ll lose, it′s by me Say you don′t want me, you′ll learn Nothin′ you do will be new, ′cause I′m through
Call me a liar, you knew You were a fool, but that′s cool, it′s all right Call me the Devil, it′s true Some can′t accept but I crept inside you
So if a stranger calls you Don′t let him whisper his name ′Cause it′s Voodoo, oh!

Go the tiger, burn in hate You know you have to, Johnny Blade He′s the meanest guy around his town One look and he will cut you down Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade

You′re searching for your mind don′t know where to start can′t find the key to fit the lock on your heart you think you know but you are never quite sure your soul is ill but you will not find a cure.
Your world was made for you by someone above but you chose evil ways instead of love. You made me master of the world where you exist the soul I took from you was not even missed.
Lord of this world Evil possessor Lord of this world He′s your confessor now!
The chapter is opened and the pages are turned The writting say many things but who was concerned
Where can we run to now, when will we learn? When it′s lost gone forever
For years they told me what I should to do Down to the places I go and who I should talk to But that don′t matter no more since I found out the truth And it feels good to me
The world is turnin′ Forever turnin′ Forever yearnin′ For the love of life And you′re wrong if think that I′m afraid to love
I wonder, I wonder does it not seem strange to you Just how the tables have turned on me and you?
How long can we go on livin′, livin′ the way we do? When it′s lost it′s gone forever
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah
We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending Don′t sleep or you′ll find me gone, just an image in the air
In dreams I think of you I don′t know what to do with myself Time has let me down She brings broken dreams, fallen stars The endless search for where you are (Sail on, sail on)
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh!
Don′t sail away on a crimson tide! Don′t leave your heart on the other side! Her eyes are an endless flame Desire with a special name Don′t ever fall in love! Don′t give your heart away! No never, never fall in love with a country girl!
Cold is the night Lonely till dawn Cry for the light For the love that won′t come You said that you′d never Leave me alone
I gave you my heart You cried for my soul An angel won′t come This devil won′t go Something is wrong I just can′t get away
Living on the street, I′m no stranger to love Why can′t you see I′m no stranger to love But I′m a stranger in your arms Yes, I′m a stranger in your arms
Maybe it′s right But I just can′t understand The hurt that I feel For my love second hand I know I should leave But I just can′t walk away
Living on the street, I′m no stranger to love Why can′t you see I′m no stranger to love Living on the street, I′m no stranger to love I′m a stranger in your arms Living on the street, I′m no stranger to love Why can′t you see I′m no stranger to love
Soon it′s never more When you′ve got to pay for Promises – made in the night
Call the magic one And with the magic comes Forever chained to the flame
It′s too late Too late – for tears Too late – And no one hears you Do you feel a touch of evil (then) It′s too late
To wish and make it so To feel the power growing Stronger – blessed by the dark
And when the candle fades You can say it was a joke you played So you must let me go – no
It′s too late You′ve said the word Too late – something heard you Too late – now the race is on And you′re run out of road Too late – for tears Too late – and no one hears you Can you feel the touch of evil It′s too late
Oh oh oh save me I believe in your name Oh oh I′ve fallen down But now I′ve found Nobody to take the blame
Misery It′s come to drag me away And when the hunter cries No alibis Get ready for judgement day
As the candle fades You can say it was a game you made So you must let me go, let me go
It′s too late – you′ve said the word Too late – something heard you Too late – the spell is gone And this time you′re the fool
It′s too late for tears Too late – and no one hears you Welcome to forever Welcome it′s too late Too late
People going nowhere, taken for a ride Looking for the answers that they know inside Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme Snow White′s mirror said "partners in crime!"
Don′t they ever have to worry? Don′t you ever wonder why? It′s a part of me that tells you Oh, don′t you ever, don′t ever say die Never, never, never say die again
Sunday′s satisfaction, Monday′s home and dry Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go Hold back, ′till it′s ready, taking it slow
Don′t they ever have to worry? Don′t you ever wonder why? It′s a part of me that tells you Oh, don′t you ever, don′t ever say die Never, never, never say die again
Don′t you ever say die Don′t you ever say die Never say die
Panic, silver lining, writing′s on the wall Children get together, you can save us all Future′s on the corner, throwing us a die Slow down, turn around, everything′s fine
There′s no need to have a reason There′s no need to wonder why It′s a part of me that tells you Oh, don′t you ever, don′t ever say die Never, never, never say die again

Nightwing has stirred, and taken to flight The silence is over, he′s shattered the night No other hunter has the power or the grace He is the master of this place
Tell every creature of the night The kill is around the bend So listen my friend Nightwing flies again
They say he comes for those whose souls are weak and call his name upon the wind The night is cold and thick with mystery Oh I can feel his beating wings
Tell every creature of the night The kill is around the bend Nightwing flies again
Tell every creature of the night The kill is around the bend Nightwing flies again
Nightwing has stirred, and taken to flight The silence is over, he′s shattered the night Life ain′t for giving and forgiving ain′t free No soul will rest while the hunted run free
So tell every creature of the night The kill is around the bend listen my friend Nightwing flies again
Livin′ in the fast lane is easy Till you run out of road Friends will turn to strangers When you′re out of control A slip of the tongue when It′s done, is often hard to See it thru So never let your words be lies Or they′ll come looking for you
It′s a hard life to love
For the price of glory you left And threw your fortunes away Never really cared too much for The job or the pay
You′re standing in the rain with No cover but you never complain You′re an angry young man face to Face but your mirrors insane It′s a hard life to love
I′m simply refusing a part in your world And I see how it burns See how it burns And you′re simply denying the fact That you′re blind and I see no more I see red – I only see red
Think of all the times I was Hurting but you felt no pain Think of all the lies you told me Again and again And still you see the truth From those who continue to lie And now you′re seeking life From those who are living to die It′s a hard life to love
I′m simply refusing a part in your world And I see how it burns See how it burns And you′re simply denying the fact That you′re blind and I see no more I see red – I only see red
Livin′ in the fast lane ain′t easy When you run out of road Friends will turn to strangers When you′ve nowhere to go Don′t give a damn when you′re lost Cause you′ll die from it all Laws were made to be broken And you do it for the thrill of it all It′s a hard life to love It′s a hard life to love
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!
Some people say my love cannot be true please believe me, my love, and I′ll show you I will give you those things you thought unreal The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret leaving the life you led before we met You are the first to have this love of mine forever with me ′till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real before you know the way I′m going to feel I′m going to feel I′m going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me, under my power Our love grows stronger now with every hour Look into my eyes, you will see who I am my name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Revolution in their minds – the children start to march Against the world in which they have to live and all the hate that′s in their hearts They′re tired of being pushed around and told just what to do They′ll fight the world until they′ve won and love comes flowing through
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way? Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear? Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
So you children of the world, listen to what I say If you want a better place to live in spread the words today Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave Or you children of today are Children of the Grave, Yeah!
Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all, Or if he moves will he fall? Is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head? We′ll just pass him there why should we even care?
He was turned to steel in the great magnetic field Where he traveled time for the future of mankind
Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance that he will soon unfold
Now the time is here for Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again!
Finished with my woman ′cause she couldn′t help me with my mind people think I′m insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I′ll lose my mind if I don′t find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain? Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can′t find I can′t see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it′s too late
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
Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait ′till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning as the war machine keeps burning No more war pigs of the power Hand of god has sturck the hour Day of judgement, god is calling on their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings ALL RIGHT NOW!

I don′t need a generation of burning on the ledge, Don′t need your ancient wisdom, Two things I′ll live without. [x2]
Relax, (As children rest) Patience people, There′s no need to react so desperately tonight. (You don′t need to know the things I know) In fact, (as children rest) All of you will be sleeping with honesty intact, (Our innocence intact) So just give up tonight. (If I knew then what I know now, I′d stay six years old)
If you lost everything in a moment, would you notice? Could you rebuild something so hopeless? Are you hopeless? And when you wake alone, with no one left to hold, You wont need to know all the things I know.
Paradise in every swimming pool, Paradise in every playground slide, Paradise, fresh baked in a cookie jar. If I were you, I would defend my innocence visually. I would fight all that tried to rob me of that. Because there′s some things you just don′t need to know.
Tragedy in the dentist′s office, Tragedy in every skinned knee, Tragedy spilled all over the kitchen floor.
I don′t need a generation of burning on the ledge, Don′t need your ancient wisdom, Two things I′ll live without. [x2]

This is really only all we have: (Bury all of me) Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light. (Before I have a chance) Coldest eyes, and the softest touch. (To open my eyes and see you laughing.) Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light. These typed letters. (Is this all we have?) Beneath me. (Or is this all just twilight beyond the skyline) Fuck with these buttons and knobs long enough (Blinding me) And maybe things will... turn out fine.
Hide behind your crystal screen And blow kisses at me. ...Said wouldn′t happen.... Go. Write your name on my chest in kerosene. Spark a match, and you, won′t, be cold again.
This is really only all we have: Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light.
Coldest eyes. You had the coldest eyes, and the softest touch.
Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Light!

A man sits at his desk One year retirement And he′s up for review Not quite sure what to do Each passing year The workload grows
I′m always wishing, I′m always wishing too late For things to go my way It always ends up the same Count your blessings I must be missing, I must be missing the point Your signal fades away and all I′m left with is noise Count your blessings on one hand
So wait up I′m not sleeping alone again tonight There′s so much to dream about There must be more to my life
Poor little tin man Still swinging his axe Even though his joints are clogged with rust
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away Safe in monotony, so safe, day after day Count your blessings My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away Cold wind blows off the lake and I know for sure that it′s too late Count your blessings on one hand
So wait up I′m not sleeping alone again tonight There′s so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
Can′t help but feel betrayed, punch the clock every single day There′s no loyalty and no remorse Youth sold for a pension cheque And that makes him fucking sick He′s heating up, he can′t say no
So wait up I′m not sleeping alone again tonight There′s so much to dream about, there must be more to my life So wait up So wait up I′m not sleeping alone again tonight Between the light and shallow waves is where I′m going to die
"So make sure you love like you′ve never been hurt and when you dance, dance like there′s no one watching you"
′Cause you can waste your time, redefining the day that music died Or you can spend your life, guilt free and ostracized ′Cause all the fashion in the world can′t save you now It′s something, I′ll write it down for you
′Cause this shit is not about pants And this shit′s not about shirts And this shit is definitly not about hair This shit is having a good fucking time Maybe music isn′t dead Maybe music isn′t dead Maybe we all just forgot what it fucking sounded like They forgot! They forgot!
′Cause you can waste your time, redefining the day that music died And you can spend your life, guilt free and ostracized ′Cause all the fashion in the world can′t save you now It′s something, I′ll write it down for you
My greatest gift to you is a dance floor free from insecurity
I′m thinking that it′s time to get out My patients are fading fast The mind bruises just a little bit easier Dark times and shadows cast
What are you suffering for? Your pride or some kind of personal war? And will you throw it away? For nothing more than the simple taste?
I′ll stay in time and watch you pass by [paranoia woven deep beneath my skin] And I′ll draw this line (breath slow) And hope you take my side (breath slow) You shouldn′t have to fight alone [you shouldn′t have to fight at all] Its nobody′s battle but your own
Panic holds me like a gun Firm and steadfast bleak and cold I think it′s time to kill the drama This life style′s getting old
Faces threaten from behind closed doors Eyes spy from dark windows Plotting minds that seek to harm me, or maybe not I don′t really know
There is something waiting For me In the darkest Part of My ima gi na-tion
I′ll stay in time and watch you pass by [paranoia woven deep beneath my skin] And I′ll draw this line (breath slow) And hope you take my side (breath slow) You shouldn′t have to fight alone [you shouldn′t have to fight at all] Its nobody′s battle but your own
This is just self-induced terror There′s more to come This is just a glimpse I tell myself that it′s all in my head But im pretty hard to convince
Oh, there′s no relief Oh, this world can offer Oh, there′s no relief Oh, this world can offer me
I stay in time and watch you pass by I draw this line And hope you′ll take my side You shouldn′t have to fight alone It′s nobody′s battle but your own
Was I left behind? Someone tell me, tell me I survived And don′t look so surprised that I′m home, but just for tonight With rough hands and sore eyes So don′t speak, I am tired Let′s just live through this lie
She says I swear too much She says a lot of things Well I′d swear every other word if I could For her, I′ll make an attempt
Sometimes love isn′t about how much someone suits you But how much you′re willing to change to suit them
All my bones are dust two people too damaged too much too late And my heart sealed with rust two people too damaged too much too late These hands will always be rough two people too damaged too much too late I know this won′t count for much two people too damaged too much too late
One day my hands were too soft One day she said, I′m tired One day her clothes were on my floor One day, empty bottles
I′m not saying she′s my last I′m just saying that she could have been It doesn′t matter how rough these hands get It doesn′t matter ′cause I′m not her man
Rough hands, rough days Rough hands, rough nights Rough hands, rough season Rough hands, rough fights
All my bones are dust Rough hands, rough days two people too damaged too much too late And my heart sealed with rust Rough hands, rough season two people too damaged too much too late These hands will always be rough Rough hands, rough days two people too damaged too much too late I know this won′t count for much Rough hands, rough season two people too damaged too much too late
So this is continuous happiness You know, I always Imagined it something more With the right drapes, the right paints The right frames, this could really work What a great day to spend indoors
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
In a hail of sparks And a tangle of wires Everything went wrong
So where has all the day gone? And why are my lungs aching when I breathe? Is there something wrong with the heat? Why am I so cold? And my heart feels sick And it hurts when I speak And this is not what I hoped for
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for? Was this what we hoped for?
I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you was your friends You can always make new friends Oh well oh well But when you sell them out will they be worth as much? (oh no)
Now this bridge is ashes It might as well have never been built It might as well have never been built And the river that it crossed Looks like an ocean now, looks like an ocean now
Times change and people change with them Some people love to play the victim (Love to play the victim) You threw caution to the wind Washed away these few last years for nothing (Was it all for nothing) Keep it on wax
Your not the only one Who′s had to make sacrifices Who′s had to make sacrifices And time won′t heal shit When you got your hands in my pocket When you got your hands...
Kick, Kick, Kick Scream, Scream, Scream It wont change a goddamn thing It don′t change a god damn thing Kick, Kick, Kick Scream, Scream, Scream
Kick, Kick, Kick Scream, Scream, Scream It wont change a goddamn thing It don′t change a god damn thing Kick, Kick, Kick Scream, Scream, Scream
I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
OOOHHH, what a fucking shame OOOHHH, that you had to mess things up this bad
Times change and people change with them Some people love to play the victim (Love to play the victim) You Threw caution to the wind Washed away these few last years for nothing (Was it all for nothing)
It′s gone, it′s gone There′s nothing left Keep it on wax It′s gone, it′s gone There′s nothing left Keep it on wax
All blossoms die in the light of our new culture Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered Countless lessons lie in every fever dream A million voices asking, what does it all mean?
I’ve lost all direction I’ve lost all my direction And now I wish, that I would have believed Could have believed
Escape, escape Nature’s indifferent hand Retreat, retreat To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised To live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird from the north Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Two hands come together to pray for greater yields Two poles of a compass guided by a field In the mind of every man, two ghosts dance Was this place made, or was it here by chance? I’ve lost all direction I’ve lost all my direction And now I wish, that I would have believed Could have believed
Escape, escape Nature’s indifferent hand Retreat, retreat To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised To live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird from the north Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god’s face Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith From birth to death, we search for what’s yet to be known We and hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown
Born and raised to live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird from the north Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Go! Strange things happen in the nighttime hour Yesterday′s buds are tomorrow′s flowers Those who speak numbers, refuse the great forgiver And powerful men raise their hands and deliver All the superstitions to which we all cling While high minds in Geneva ponder e8 vs. string The sun hides itself concealing its grin And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again.
Oh young cardinals Nesting in the trees Oh hear our songs Reign your innocence on me
One, two, three, four!
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours White tails graze and wolves devour Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines Nicotine babies being born with no spines The god of the sea is swinging his trident We stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
Oh young cardinals Nesting in the trees Oh hear our songs Reign your innocence on me
Young cardinals take flight Return to nest in the black of night There are things you were not meant to know
Young cardinals take flight Return to nest in the black of night There are things you were not meant to know
Oh young cardinals Nesting in the trees Oh hear our songs Reign your innocence on me
Oh young cardinals Oh young cardinals Oh young cardinals Oh young cardinals Oh
We won′t forget that girl possessed We won′t forget that girl possessed Possessed
Who knew her legacy would destroy her future? You had such promise before your rape You had such promise before your rape
Born innocent but something had to give Exploitation, erotica and horror Even a spread in Oui magazine And then your habit of getting caught What a frightful night Born innocent but something had to give
We won′t, we won′t, we won′t We won′t forget you (What a frightful night) We won′t, we won′t, we won′t We won′t, forget you (What a frightful night)
You painted a picture so graphic That no one could see past it You painted a picture so graphic That no one could... They can′t see past it
We won′t, we won′t, we won′t We won′t forget you (What a frightful night) We won′t, we won′t, we won′t We won′t, forget you (What a frightful night) We won′t, we won′t, we won′t We won′t forget you (What a frightful night) We won′t, we won′t, we won′t We won′t, forget you (What a frightful night)
We won′t forget that girl possessed We won′t forget that girl possessed Possessed.
Your mail′s not safe in this town Your mail′s not safe in this town Your mail′s not safe in this town Your mail′s not safe in this town
I strike a red bird on your face And pour the kerosene in your mouth I watch the match fall down your throat I burn all your precious bowels I watch the smoke pour from every crack And breathe in your secret lives All your bills, pay, and welfare cheques But I don′t think I can stay for long There′s lots more mail that′s not yet ash
Your mail′s not safe in this town Your mail′s not safe in this town Your mail′s not safe in this town Im taking this town back
I watch the smoke start to rise One hundred homes One hundred fires Everything you own now burns away
This town is no longer mine It′s fucked with me for the last time How I wish that I could see your face
When the sky is streaked with plumes Know that it′s my signature Upon this wretched fucking city
Mailbox Arson My sweet revenge
Mailbox Arson My sweet revenge
I′ll strike a match and burn away- Every tie that binds me to this place
I′ll strike a match and burn away- Every tie that binds me to this place
I will strike a match and burn away- Every tie that binds me to this place
Strike a match and burn away- Every tie that binds me to this place
When the smoke clears, You can consider us even
Your mail′s not safe in this town Your mail′s not safe in this town Your mail′s not safe in this town Im taking this town back
I watch the smoke start to rise One hundred homes One hundred fires Everything you own now burns away
This town is no longer mine It′s fucked with me for the last time How I wish that I could see your face
Pregnant teens on the Barton street bus Hard-up people living off crust And there’s a beat-up town car - it’s starting to ruse Hard soles are kicking up dust Half a million people living in the corpse of the brown brick 50’s To the north, all the small town outcasts are now big city bourgeoisie
All the boys in the halfway houses Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
The desperate, downtown stealing bikes Drunks in the village are picking fights
So, police like the streets to read them their rights No controlling hot summer nights The sun goes down on the edge of town, at the end of everyday We sit and watch the stacks, on fire, to the east across the bay
All the boys in the halfway houses Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
There’s something in the church belfry On the corner of Victoria and king And it screams out into the night It sings this city’s plight
All the boys in the halfway houses Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
The temperature′s through the floor Your fingers are turning black There′s a crisis knocking at your door
One nine seven seven One nine seven seven
You had better try to make it home The snow is getting too deep to drive Your car might be your coffin
One nine seven seven One nine seven seven
We′re never gonna see the summer, This season is coming, long and hard. Yeah this town is going under This season′s going to kill us all.
Catch the snowflakes little children Count them as they bury you alive Count them as they choke the road ways A blizzard′s coming in the year punk died
One nine seven seven
This season has left us all helpless I can′t see and even God is blind And deaf to all your prayers
One nine seven seven One nine seven seven
There′s nothing that you can do The weathers stronger than us all The sky is going to crush you
One nine seven seven One nine seven seven
This season′s growing cold I fear that this could be the end There′s no sign of hope We′ve got a crisis on our hands.
The junkie is stuck indoors Pretty soon he′s gonna need a fix But the weather′s not gonna let him He′s starting to get the itch
The season′s holding us all hostage Better do whatever it demands Nature knows that we′ve got a crisis Weighing on our frost bitten hands
(One) There′s nothing that you can do The sky is gonna crush you. (Nine) There′s nothing that you can do The sky is gonna crush you. (Seven) There′s nothing that you can do The sky is gonna crush you. (Seven) There′s nothing that you can do The sky is gonna crush you.
This season′s growing cold I fear that this could be the end And there′s no sign of hope We′ve got a crisis on our hands
Old crows ride in the mouth of the beast Sleep beneath its tongue, cradled by its teeth We roam from shore to shore From the open sky to the ocean floor The more we move the less we are ourselves And when we finally stop, we′ve changed to something else
As rapid as a river flows As frigid as the cold wind can blow As devious as the devil′s grin Our blood is cold and we′ve shed our skin
Now, we are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday We are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday we are not the kids we used to be Ooooh oh oh We are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday
The crows are calling - seems the end is near They′re spelling out their names, yet we have no fear Oh, the damage a man can do When ambition takes over his search for the truth
Sometimes life just gets the best of us Some things in life will get the best of us
Now, we are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday We are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday We are not the kids we used to be Ooooh oh oh (Stop wishing for yesterday) We are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday
Every skyline beats in my chest Somewhere between love and sadness This is our fate, this is our test We ride in the mouth of madness
As rapid as a river flows As frigid as the cold wind can blow As devious as the devil′s grin Our blood is cold and we′ve shed our skin
Now, we are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday We are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday We are not the kids we used to be Ooooh oh oh (Stop wishing for yesterday) We are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday Wishing for yesterday Wishing for yesterday
I find myself concerned For the common man, these days Evil are the minds That push the divide Forced to live a life In fear that his future is on the wane Midnight regulations Midnight regulations Burns his candle down Working to make ends meet Old hearts, we need to mend It’s time to start again Fingers to the bone Ready to admit defeat Midnight regulations Midnight
Brother! There is no charity For the common man When he is in need of relief
And now he’s hanging on To his final stitch of faith So, here’s to all the years Of deaf ear fallen prayers Rich men behind closed doors Try to keep him in his place Midnight regulations Midnight regulations Oh, all you common men You need to fight for a new way But what can be done About the way things have become? Palace walls dismantled Brick by brick, you will have your day Midnight regulations Midnight
Brother! There is no charity For the common man When he is in need of relief
They say just hold onto your hope But you know if you swallow your pride You will choke
Brother! There is no charity For the common man When he is in need of relief
When I first met you, didn′t realize I can′t forget you, for your surprise you introduced me, to my mind And left me wanting, you and your kind
I love you, Oh you know it
My life was empty, forever on a down Until you took me, showed me around My life is free now, my life is clear I love you sweet leaf, though you can′t hear
Come on now, try it out
Straight people don′t know, what you′re about They put you down and shut you out you gave to me a new belief and soon the world will love you sweet leaf
I said, "cover me if there is a fire, ′Cause I want you to burn first" She screamed at me, "I want to be desired" I said easy girl, "I know it hurts"
Let′s all give thanks That I am a liar, ′Cause I′ve got a feeling I just might get worse Now there′s nothing wrong with you I′m just tired And im in a mood for a brand new curse
You burn first, You burn first, You burn first, You burn first
Cover me if there is a fire, ′Cause I want you to burn first She screamed at me "I want to be desired" I said easy girl, "I know it hurts"
Let′s all give thanks That I am a liar ′Cause I′ve got a feeling I just might get worse Now there′s nothing wrong with you I just grow tired And im in the mood for a brand new curse
