The Cross
04:20
|

|
who makes you bow down
on your knees?
who judges all your deeds?
who riddles you with doubt?
who will answer all your prayers?
go look on the cross
and tell me who you see
oh, sweet mother of god
what if he forgot?
to what illusion do you cling?
what will will take away your pain?
what promises you keep?
who will save your sorry soul?
go look on the cross
and tell me who you see
oh, sweet mother of god
what if he forgot?
subscribe to the illusion
illusion of salvation
cling to your cross
who will save your sorry soul?
go look upon the cross
and ask yourself
just what you believe
oh, sweet mother of god
what if she forgot?

Stormbound
03:56
|

|
Hark!
Grey daylight
Sea lashed to fury
Stormbound
No sign of life to be seen
Clock stopped
No keepers here
signal flare
no response
steamers horn
no reply
lighthouse dark
empty beds
storm is over
sea is calm
god is over all
seaboots & oilskins on
nightfall coming on
this time we cannot wait
drowned to secure a crane
these poor men lost their lives
something as to fate

My Last Breath
05:00
|
|||
|
Dead or alive
Means the same to me
The image of death is all I see
Nothing left
No one to be
No more pain
No more free
What is this?
It can’t be real
Your will to live is what I steal
Pain
Agony drains my mind
Forget what’s left
Don’t look behind
My last breath
Who is next?
What is life?
What is death?
I am life
I am death

Curse Of The Prince
01:56
|

|
Escape before the night
Save your only life
Fight until you die
Escape before the night
Save your only life
Curse of the prince
No one survives
Play my games
Step inside
Pull my card
Look alive
Now you’re trapped
No one to help
No one left
Suit yourself
Off your aces
Show your hand
Break the spell
It’s your last chance
Sweet revenge
No more pain
Can’t deny
You know my name
Escape before the night
Save your only life
Fight ‘til you die
Escape before the night
Save your only life
It’s the curse of the prince
and no one survives
Diamonds have mercy
it’s the curse of the prince

in the hollow of the shadows
and the darkness of the night
no burden of tomorrow
when the sun goes down to die
…to die
and the sun goes down to die
and we have no reason why
in the hollows
of the shadows
through the narrows
to the shallows
and the sun goes down to die
and we have no reason why
and the sun goes down to die
in the hollows
of the shadows
through the narrows
to the shallows
left to borrow
my tomorrow
...and the blood
...and the night
...and the light
...keeps bleedin’
where is my tomorrow?
there is no tomorrow
in the valley of the shadow

The First Hex
03:09
|

|
these gifts i give to you
all this i swear
if promise left unbroken
i'll take you there
black candles
carved with your name
to cast the spell
one faded photograph
I know too well
black string tied
recite three times
your name chant undenied
call it payback
call it homicide
revenge sweet
falling pride
I paint these circles on barns
I paint them with my hands
the first hex i cast
I learn from you, my friend
bad luck jinx broken charm
so sweet and warm
enchanting curse anew, failed
be not alarmed
I paint these circles on barns
I paint them with my hands
the first hex i cast
I learned from you, my friend
the first hex i cast will be on you
the first hex i cast will be on you
the first hex i cast will be on you
be on you
be on you
beyond you
the first hex is on you

blood
It flows through my veins
fire
It burns in my brain
desire
it cuts through the pain
sacrament
It now leaves a stain
take, eat
this is my body
broken for you
hatred
it can't be denied
deliverance
it cuts through the pride
take, drink
this is my blood shed for you
the body and the blood
shed for you
the body and the blood
shed for you
the body and the blood
shed for you
the blood of the new covenant
shed for you
greed
It’s drunk just like wine
like fruit of the vine
sacrifice
both yours and of mine
take, eat
this is my body broken for you
blessed are we that dine
testament
to all those that shine
wash those ties that bind
retribution for all those who find
cleanse, heal & purify
chalice
pour blood of christ
take, drink
this is my blood shed for you
the body and the blood
shed for you
the body and the blood
shed for you
the body and the blood
shed for you
the blood of the new covenant
yell your blood out of your body
yell your blood out of your body
yell your blood out of your body
yell your blood out of your body

The Escape Artist
02:31
|
|||
|
“...and now for my greatest trick of all...”
This is not an illusion
Transmutation phenomena
Spirit teleportation
Psychic power
Contortion escapology
Nothing up my sleeve
Say the magic word
Sleight of hand gone horribly wrong
The ghost walks...
Death by drowning
Death by suffocation
Death by drowning
Death by electrocution
Death by hanging
Escape or die
The door of death

Scarred For Life
01:55
|

|
it seems
you've always got the time
to worry about me
instead of you
It seems
you've got plenty of ways
to improve me instead of you
all the time
your actions flow
with anger all over me
all the time time
you’re looking for the wrong
instead of the right
inside of me
it might be better
if you would just
keep those thoughts
to yourself
seek the good and not the bad
in whoever you may know
It seems
you've got an excuse
for every fucking thing
that you do
It seems you like to deal it out
but never can take it can you
all the time
you talk about me
when im never there
all the time
you shit on me
and pretend that it's not there
It might be better
if you would just
keep those thoughts
to yourself
seek the good and not the bad
in whoever you may know
forever marked with open sore
(it’s not there)
I cannot take it anymore
(it’s not there)
scarred for life by what you say
(it’s just not there)
watch me bleed
watch me pay

my duty is to go to hell
my duty
go to hell
my duty is to go to hell
my duty is to go to hell
my duty is to go to hell
my duty...
the hell i hide
til death i ride
the hell i hide
oh, the hell i hide
til death i ride
the hell i hide
like hell, I...
...losin’...
If i lose my mind
at least i tried
cuz if i died
I’d swallow my pride
for this i died
was it not a good shot at man?
(I’ll never tell)
the hell i hide
til death i ride
the hell i hide
oh, the hell i hide
til death i ride
the hell i hide
like hell, I...
like hell
death I ride
the hell i hide
til death i ride
the hell i hide
oh, the hell i hide
til death i ride
the hell i hide
like hell
