Come Down
04:11
|
|||
Lord forgive me for I have surely sinned. I can’t promise I won’t transgress again.
The taste is still fresh off of my tongue, dripping off of my forehead
I put the final stamp on this broken dream, least I did something right if not the righteous thing
The writing was on the wall you didn’t believe it.
Begging the question too long gets the answer you dreaded
You better believe it
Let ‘em come down, let the tears hit the ground. I won’t change my mind if they’re yours or mine
You never cared if we were going up or down, always scared I might turn myself around
The writing was on the wall you chose not to see it. Blowin out still walkin tall, you better believe it
Let ‘em come down, let the tears hit the ground. I won’t change my mind they’re yours or mine.
Let ‘em come down, let the tears hit the ground. I won’t change my mind, if they’re yours or mine

Empty As My Pockets
05:01
|

My head is light and it’s getting bad, but I ain’t got time to think about that.
Hands on the wheel, tight on the heel, eye’s fixated on the dotted line.
No second guessin, time is of the essence tonight
One more dead-head drive through the ice yet to come. One more evening to breath the fire out of my lungs
Oh, empty as my pockets. Oh, this change of pace don’t aim to please.
Oh empty as my pockets but I don’t care where this road is gunna lead me
My legs are weak but I gotta run. I’ll get some sleep when my work is done.
Turn up the music, light a new cigarette, more conversation gunna do me fine.
One hour more, half again before I close me eyes
Scratch one hour off the difference between the times to a new hotel bed,
to sleep off all the dope and the wine
Oh, empty as my pockets. Oh, this change of pace don’t aim to please.
Oh, empty as my pockets but I don’t care where this road is gunna lead me

Shadow In The Storm
03:15
|

The blood in its veins is a lie. Deadly remains forgotten by time.
The last of my kinsmen am I, alone in the cold I must kill or die
I think this thing is alive, no trace of the man inside. One taste is all it needs, life in this death abides
The dogs are wound so tight. A shadow in the storm of unearthly might,
changing the shape of its frame. Man against man in the mounting flame
I think this thing is alive, no trace of the man inside
Fear is your new god and fire it’s right hand. Flesh has become one, no one is innocent
No one is innocent x 3
Fear is your new god and fire it’s right hand. Flesh has become one, no one is innocent
No one is innocent x 2

World Of Sorrow
03:35
|
|||
It’ll hide your tears if you bury your head, money got nothing to do with it you can live large or you can play dead
Nobody has the answer to this world of sorrow
Found your freedom in a hole like you always do, voices on the radio remind me of you.
Can’t put your finger on what’s troubling you now that you’ve found a new way to shut the world out
The truth don’t care what the preacher said it’s the only thing for you in the end.
Up and alive or paralyzed with dread the universe is a jagged edge
Nobody knows which way the wind gunna blow tomorrow
Found your freedom in a hole like you always do, voices on the radio remind me of you
It’ll hide your tears if you bury your head, you can live large or you can play dead
Found your freedom in a hole like you always do. Voices on the radio remind me of you.
Can’t put you finger on what’s troubling you now that you’ve found a new way to shut the world out

Blood Drunk
02:52
|

You try to talk some sense into him if you can.
But you’re reasoning with a brick wall of a man
You don’t know why he gets home from the tank every day,
he’s blood drunk, you best stay out of his way
You best stay out of his way
You don’t know why he never listens to you.
You know you’re right and you’re hoping he sees that too.
You’re in between a lion and his prey, he’s blood drunk, you best stay out of his way
You best stay our of his way x2
He’s blood drunk, you best stay out of his way
You best stay out of his way
He’s blood drunk x3
He’s blood drunk, you best stay out of his way

Enemy
02:33
|
|||
Freedom is a nightmare to a poor soul who just don’t care.
Son of father’s despair walkin on ice nose in the air
Come back to me, tonight destiny is your enemy
Stake your claim in this mess, too afraid to raise the flame.
Young but weak and useless, lived or died and nothing changed
Come back to me, tonight destiny is your enemy
Come back to me, tonight destiny, look out!
Come back to me, tonight destiny is your enemy

Our Love Is Murder
03:10
|
|||
Broken bones and ligaments. The pain clouds my judgement. Like wild eyes that can’t be denied.
Father comes and goes like wind, a candle extinguished. It burns bright and leaves in the night
Before we get carried away with these old words, spoken in haste my regret won’t be unlearned
I, master of the slow goodbye and you the poor soul who is hypnotized
I’ll be back to make it right, down with a will to fight. I scapegoat, teeth to the throat
Before we get carried away with these old words, spoken in haste my regret won’t be unlearned
I, master of the slow goodbye and you the poor soul who is hypnotized.
Leave, there’s nothing for you to learn. Leave, together this love is murder
I, master of the slow goodbye and you the poor soul who is hypnotized.
Leave, there’s nothing for you to learn. Leave, together this love is murder

Shores Of The Sun
04:45
|
|||
Across the sea under black sail to the shores of the sun, to the hall of the arrow and redemption
Eyes wide in the sunlight, jaws locked in the din. White hide on the outside, hearts hardened within
On the shores of the sun
My foe stands before me, now he lies in the sand. My banner and glory, to another man
Eyes wide in the sunlight, jaws locked in the din. White hide on the outside, hearts hardened within
On the shores of the sun
Land on the horizon, the walking dead, blood sweat, a glorious death and two coins for the boatman
Two coins for the boatman x2
Fists clenched as I carry on into the abysmal dawn. Sword met by a swords reply, on steel and strength rely.
White-hot rays that blind and sear, no mercy or compassion here. It’s all lies as I close my eyes and I feel no fear
Land on the horizon, the walking dead, blood sweat, a glorious death and two coins for the boatman
Two coins for the boatman x2
On the shores of the sun
