1. Oh, the Humanity
A false confession sprayed forth from the mouth of disdain
What words Spoken?
What Love Swayed?
And the mirror broken brings the faith of the damned to me
This is how the lost ones feel in love and in life
Close your legs when vanity's forlorn
Close your legs before I close them for you
Close your legs and in time properly behold...
Oh, The humanity
The heart of love bereaved with hllow eyes and a whisper waiting for words to fill the lies
A heart's rejection sprang quick and laid claim to me
Where's reason when love's swayed and the broken mirror brings the faith of the damned to me.
2. ...and the Blind One Came
Lugosi's child bears his namesake
Within in this monument we hide from shame, from uncontrolled emotions and untold atrocities
Be enlightened lonely angel
We're forever with you
And the blind one came in the likeness of you
And the blind one came to make timeless all that is you
Behind the walls of the is monument
Your tribute to deceit
All time is lost to the innocent
Your evil they must repeat
3. United in Regret
Courting with pain, the dirtiest whore
I laid my lips on the filthiest swine
Years later I'm still sipping
On the drippings of your spilt wine
Standing west of God
We are united in Regret
Your blemishes must never fade like portraits where ink and skin meet
Standing west of God
We are united in Regret
4. I Speak Through Shadows
Vanity found a home in heart of your embrace
Once was lost is mine again in the paleness of your eyes
Vanity tainted all of your lonely face
Indifference was welcomed in and fervor laid to waste
Once was lost is now mine again
Love found tarnished in the fists of enemies
Now I speak through shadows
5. Lust Before the Maggots Conquest
You whose amber eyes are the curse of all loneliness
Who greets life with a kiss of indifference
You whose vanity must guide the garden path and surely surpass your suffocating pride
Consummate in selfish ways have I lost my will?
Lost sense of self, it is done, I know I must be...
Falling forever when bonds start to sever
I know I'll hope and pray...
The promise of never was my oath forever
I know I hope and pray you've had your fill of lust before the maggots conquest
Your mark about my neck
A keepsake of your vanity and when swollen fears are forever mine
This is true I know I must be...
Forever touched by the fire
Was it your innocence that kept me at bay?
Time was not mine, I was forever
The wolf at the door shrouded with greed
6. The Marriage Bed
My reverence for you is gone, stand alone and be counted
My time with you was like time alone in a grave
Stand apart or unite in regret
To the west of god
Passion alone in the must
I am the wolf at your door
I am the wounds on your wrists
Vengeance is the marriage bed
I cower towards you in wonder
Was it your emptiness that pushed me away or your hatred that drew me near?
7. The Cold Resistance
Cobwebs reaching from the heavens to the lover's plague
A soul strung out on shadows and the killing words brings the fervor to a halt
Far beyond the solace of hatred that tarnished and banished all thoughts of you
A storm of ill-wishes brought the cold resistance, you were nice to know
Three words beaten into emptiness, never spoken the same
The size of my hatred can never equal your indifference
Now the fervor's at a halt when your past is a dirty whore, a fervor even wrought in steel cannot replace this monument
8. The Things You Said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
I never denied them
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
You tried them
I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I've never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
Thought that you liked them
They know me better than that
9. Hopeless Truth
You kept your roses better than you kept your promises
Those three words spoken can never be the same and as the winter drew near, the fervor faded with our past
Now the reasons are lost within indifferent eyes
And what vanity taints must be our parting gifts
Disease is forever yet diamonds fade with the past
Three words drifting with the calling of the rain
And as the winter drew the fervor faded at last
Now the reasons are lost within indifferent eyes
And what vanity taints must be our parting gifts for now, for forever...
We are the hopeless truth
With hatred absolute
We are the hopeless truth
