Here I chased my lover through these ancient tombs My desire led my sweet love into her doom A cosmic dreamer lay in wait for her innocence to violate Vines enfold Behold the accursed child of the outside rise up from primordial clay Ride the sky on malevolent winds of decay and in the nothingness from whence it came Hell is reborn Flesh in it's final grips The soul goes cold Breathlessly slipping into the vastness of the interdimensional Never ending nightmares drape unending nights On the other side of a rain streaked window church bells chime Walls drip wine

Strange, girl Strange you don't seem to notice love leaving no trace Just a time and place meant to fade Hung in effigy at the county line Another casual crime There's a carnival and the night to kill Fascinations under such bright stars We still wonder what we are Trapped inside a moment we can't remember so well Hey, boys Crazy days laid to waste Erase that internal locus of control Let it go Hung in effigy at the county line where a sound splits the sky There's a carnival and the night to kill Fascinations under such bright stars We still wonder what we are Trapped inside a moment we can't remember at all Follow the muse into each compulsive maze it leads you into Borrow the flame and set what's inside ablaze Burn forever Unread words, unheard music Alive unknown Vaunted works in some circles still stand alone A renewed commitment to our wasting no fucking further time The less you know the more impressions might be formed Reveal the real and manifest Reveal the real The manifestation of this intent The will to live is my souls monument Carved in stone

Soulless bastard masters Disaster state What do we inherit but a future laid to waste? Sold in self interest Truly this is the kind of crime I can't forgive They played us and they win There's only so much a thing can take before it breaks under the weight The strain of its own insatiable will to dominate I know castles crumble as all great pride in time is humbled Times of trouble are mile markers History stumbles You never meant to be here, nor did I and yet here we are Towers tumbling down The monolith will crumble, brought down to its knees Its true face will be seen Once mighty mechanisms grind themselves to dust A probing look Expose the fault line An overload of media, the facts in doubt Nobody reads beyond the headline and now so much seems to be all about identity and that's you and me so come on now Strike when ready to ignite Explode! Destroy! Fight for freedom, Fight for life Now for the few For all of you There's a day and age dawning at the darkest edge of night The future is calling and that's why I moved downtown There's a day and age dawning at the darkest edge of night I will fight... or will I?

Passed the time just fine now time is up It's getting late and lately things are only coming clearer as the past stares back out from a darkening mirror as you stand there straining to recall how you could let it go so easy Why you could never come close enough I wanna know Don't it sting like a bitch getting old and living the lie you were sold and sold to (and swallowed) I wanna know, does it dim your luminous rebirth? Misfortunate sons We are the ones nobody told you about Nobody told you Death rattle n' roll Devoured whole by the untenable dreams of these modern extremes This is all I have in this world are my brothers and my lovers name Gonna give it all I can til I can't With the sweet taste of desperate belief on my tongue Battles are lost and won and it's not Rock n' Roll burning a hole through me, no It's the booze It's the way that I lose when I lose There's no turning back Fuck that

So pretty but you could tell her mother certainly never loved her No sir, never even heard that name before now Once in a while she'd come around to rock n' roll but it was nothing Just someone touching someone else They tell me she got away too clean We knew eventually she'd split the scene The lady kills what she can't defend ever since that john cut Christine and now I'm not so sure she'd die for anyone Crashing where she lands Her only other is a gun She better make a friend of the ghost cuz it's not going anywhere and it's so hard to chase away what we can barely face, let alone change Got some black dripping down my back Hell over my shoulder Death on my track She came, she went Like a wildflower A shot rings out She'll never really get away She'll live a lie like all the other wasted seekers that I've known She'll tell herself it's what she wants Everything happens for a reason but she's always bleeding for no reason at all
