The desert stretches forever and ever
And I guess I should say now
It's not an endeavor I'd put on whomever
But here I am, sand between my toes
Going where God only knows
I thought I'd kill myself by now
Give one last wave, and say ciao
Hold on, hold me close
Look me in my eyes and give me hope
Help me stand, help me cope
Hold on, hold me close
Show me the light, show me the way
Give me hope
Why am I going down this lonely path
Of hurt and misery
Is it really brighter with this noose tighter
Or am I leaving myself behind
Going where God only knows
I thought I'd kill myself by now
Give one last wave, and say ciao
The desert isn't endless
Death is senseless
I'm going to hell with clean hands
I know this warmth
It feels, it feels
Like love
Oh, why would I leave
Oh, why would I stay
My heart is torn

Demons
03:42
|

Oh lord, forgive us
We're going to war
I'm talking to my demons
They say it's time for war
I've looked inside of me
I don't want to see no more
I’m talking to these demons
They say it’s time for war
Like vultures, they’re feeding
Clawing at my core
Oh lord, forgive us
We're going to war
No more, they scream
As we shoot them down
Baby, this darkness
Is burning in my soul
Hold me, release me
I don’t want to feel this no more
I've done things I'm not proud of
I've been so self-destructive
My demons, they bait me
They beg for more and more
My demons, they're hungry
Hungry for a fight
I put up my gloves
I won't go down tonight
Bloodied and bruised
The fight rages on
I’ve lost some battles
But I won’t lose this war
Oh lord
We're going to war

I Put A Spell On You
04:39
|

I put a spell on you, because you're mine
You better stop the things that you're doin'
I said, "Watch out, I ain't lyin'", yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your, foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your, puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, yeah, all right
You cast a spell on me, because I'm yours
You cast a spell on me, because I'm yours
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
You better stop, the things that you're doin'
I said, "Watch out, I ain't lyin'", yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your, foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your, puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine

Gentlemen and Gangsters

My mama said
That there's no heaven
My papa said
There's no hell below
So when I die
Where am I to go
We'll find out tonight
Time for some trouble
You know it's coming
We've made our peace
It's a gangster's life
Gentlemen and gangsters
We make the world run
Lay out your dollars
It's time for fun
But we're not playing
We're here for your lives
Because mama said
There ain't no heaven
My sister said
That I am no good
My brother said
I'll have a dog's death
That won't stop me
The world is my due
All the money and hooch
Tonight we're kings
Tomorrow we're gods
We've made our peace
It's a gangster's life
Oh Mr. Gangster
I like how you play
Why don't you take me out all day
Show me how you run the world

Lost on the Moon
04:38
|
|||
We are lost on the moon
The race has ended
Oh what do we do
The ladder has run out
No more rungs
Only doubt
Succumb to the bait
Lose it to vibrancies
Imprisoned in light
Stricken with shade
Oh what do we do
In an ancient prison
Do we remember
Where to go

Nocturne
02:02
|
|||
Between the stars and the clouds
The crescent rises high
I hold you in my very eye
Our secretive hearts sing
Beneath the sun's reflected light
Your essence lingers here
Lost in the trances of each other
The world just disappears

Devil Eyes (Sin Sin Sin)
08:20
|
|||
Oh, he has a secret
A secret, he will keep it
There's a pretty flower
Magenta, oh her power
Her hips rock a rhythm
She's up there with him
He can feel his own demise
As he looks up into her devil eyes
Devil eyes burning
My soul is yearning
You're bad for me
Oh baby I want you
I can't feel myself
No more, no more
Baby you're a hellfire
She holds him in her grasp
Smoke billowing from her clasp
Her eyes are hazy red
His arms and legs powerlessly spread
Magenta is her name
He repeats it like a game
It's the prayer she lusts for
And she wants oh so much more
Tell yourself what you want
Is what you need
Then damnation will feel right
Lay your head in my lap
Let me sing you
Let me sing you
Let me sing you
To sleep
Sin, sin, sin, sin
Everybody start to sin
La dee da, ho, ho, ho
Now you're sinning with a swing
Sin, sin, sin, sin
Everybody start to sin
La dee da, ho, ho, ho
Now you're sinning with a swing
And when the music goes around
Everybody goes to town
But here's something you should know
Ho ho baby ho ho ho
The fall of Adam hath made us heirs of the vengeance and wrath of God,
And heirs of eternal damnation; and hath brought us into captivity and bondage under the devil
And the devil is our lord, and our ruler, our head, our governor, our prince, yea, and our god

Fire in their Hearts
03:40
|
|||
The fire in their hearts
It burns the night away
The six: life imitates art
The princess who'd restart
Four of mortal blood
Two of ancestral breed
He who hungered for more
The books, he swore
Musician and the singer
Their play so enchanting
One to two to one
The other who tagged along
The red one made fearless
Cousin to the bridge
One with armour of light
One with veins of sap
Last was the echo
Who neither was nor is
Set against ancient threat
The remnant already met

Take Me To Church
04:13
|
|||
My lover's got humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick", you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only Heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
A-, Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Oh, oh, Amen, Amen, Amen

Juggernaut
01:48

Juggernaut, go to sleep
The dreamcatcher in the sky
Let it swallow your night terrors
Lay down your weapon and rest your eyes
Come to tomorrow with this reprise
Juggernaut, go to sleep

Howling Victorious
04:34
|
|||
Spit in your eye
Go ahead and try
You're a no one
Bloody face to the sun
Knocked down hard
Never on top
Your face mops the floor
You're out the door
You're a nobody
No one cares
You've got a talent
They're all flair
Sing it to the sky
No one hears
Throat goes dry
Better luck next time
Oh they're howling, howling
For your blood
You better be victorious boy
The hounds are coming
Oh they're howling, howling
For your blood
Woah, woah, victorious
Pick yourself up
And try again
One of these days
You'll have your way
But not today
Cause they're all here
Fake smiling fools
All afraid of you
You're something special
No place here
You're too different
Can't fit in
Not a popstar
So who cares
You've got real skin
We can't have that
Howling victorious

Darkness
03:10
|
|||
There's a darkness inside of me
There's a light so far away
There is someone I'd rather be
Hiding tomorrow
Hiding my heart
I want to be alright
Again
Bring me back to
Me
This darkness is in my soul
And I can't breathe no more
It clouds my mind
Beyond help, beyond help

Broken Unspoken
03:42
|
|||
Momma was a druggie
Papa didn't show
Came from school bloody
Let no one know
Oh, I'm a travesty
We're living in a broken world
All seeking cures
We're searching for a savior
Signed, truly yours
Broken, I'm broken
I'm broken, unspoken
I'm broken, I'm broken
Unspoken, unspoken
Crystals all around me
No food in the pantry
Twelve and going hungry
And her undying disease
Oh, I’m a quiet kid
I'm learning from your mistakes
I'm not like you
I'm not like you
Momma was a drug addict
(I'll be sober and clean)
Papa didn't exist
(I'll always be there)
