1. A Constant Reminder
We awoke in the midst of a vicious cycle,
Becoming the satellites whose transmissions are static served
As of late, it seems my audience has been lacking
I can only pray that you're tuning in during a moment of clarity,
Just to hear me utter these spiteful words before the signal fades
(chorus)
Here's hoping this becomes the soundtrack to your misery
The hook that rips right through your chest
Enjoy this constant reminder of your fickle nature
And the hideous facade you wear so well
The crowd gasps in awe as my head began to swell
And the whites of my eyes slowly turned to red
Just then did gravity created such a dramatic end
I can only pray that you're tuning in during a moment of clarity,
Just to hear me utter these spiteful words before the signal fades
Here's hoping this becomes the soundtrack to your misery
The hook that rips right through your chest
Enjoy this constant reminder, my double standards
And the hideous facade I wear so well
The twilight, projects this message, to a populous who's turned their backs
The twilight, screen my words across the sky, Look up in wonder
(chorus)
Fade as we burn (x2)
2. A Port In Any Storm
Fearful and numb, I can now accept
Deceit and dependency are my preeminent assets
Defined, a word etched in skin
Sweet host I'll feast within
(chorus)
Oh, how one taste will haunt the senses and my dreams
I fiend the touch of your flesh, A lust which brings us no end
Dissolution quenched on fleeting hands
Drowning myself in seas of compromise
Fair ladies and harlots submerge with this sinking ship
Black urge, I swore to dismiss
Your minions keeps on starving
(chorus)
One taste of impure blood has left a bitter taste
Pending a lust which brings us closer to false heaven
(chorus) (x2)
3. The Bacchanal Affair
Tonight, we're drunk upon our nostalgia
So raise a glass to the black maria
Through laughter seems to soothe the pain of adoring what I violate
I'm sick to death by the irony and all the lies that we create
When we're feigning every red letter day
(chorus)
The chemicals aid in our neglect, feigning all of adoration
Destined it seems for this disease, becoming all I loathed
Feigning all our adoration
Dissembling passion, Our foreplay to debauchery
A perfume of zinfandel and coffin nails
Intoxicates, fair Judas goat, now you've got your sheep
I'm sick to death by the irony and all the lies that we create
When we're feigning every red letter day
(chorus)
Track marks and a trail of hearts will guide you home,
There is a bleak horizon everywhere I roam (x2)
(chorus)
Track marks and a trail of hearts will guide you home,
There is a bleak horizon everywhere I roam (x2)
4. Sacred Heart (Sacre Coeur)
From the gutter, the diamond seemed far to bright to see
The gleaming eyes always tend to turn away, just turn away
Every innocent wish has granted tragedy
And our hands have since been soild in the blackest of coal
(chorus)
Most days I'd sit and wish for this place to fall into the bay,
Its greatest offense being thievery
A nightmare awakaned by the boundless waters
Will see a broken vow thrust ino the arms of hell bound cowards
And I've found the perfect accessory to that beautiful gown
The handsome ghost of me
(chorus)
Most days I'd sit and wish for this place to fall into the bay,
Its greatest offense being thievery
And I will wash away the sins of former lovers
A trail of stillborn conquest in my wake, tonight
Take this four fingered salute
I gave the fifth for you, my dear
May it beckon you to the salts below
(chorus)
5. Sixth of June
Been waiting for and end in a life filled with all those little stories
(Say what you want, say what you need)
Our last encounter still stings like alcohol
And all the stones and prison bars that stood in the way of my amends
Forgive me
(chorus)
I know you killed for me, you're sailing with the rock, Aileen
Promise you'll come for me the sixth of June will bring you home
Say what you want, say what you need cause tonight is your last chance to reach me
Hope and love seem to be a wasted in this mortal reality
Say we'll meet again on the sixth of June
There won't be a heart to break this time
And all the souls of fallen men won't stand in the way of our love again
Forgive me
(chorus) (x2)
I know you killed for me, you're sailing with the rock, Aileen
Promise you'll come for me the sixth of June, our lord will guide you home
Say what you want, say what you need cause tonight is your last chance to reach me
6. Reignite the Fires
These bones are brittle and fragile to the touch
Farewell, the dear departed
Bury all vices and these tired metaphors before our time is over
The chest aches and swells though in eternal sleep
Fret not, my dear
We'll meet again at Saint Peter's gates
Reignite the fires in this frigid heart of mine
Wake me from this slumber
(chorus)
But it was circumstance that was flirting with disaster
And destiny was sharing your bed
Welcome the discontented and fix this sorry soul
With tactfulness and grace
The end starts a new cycle of pain, never-ending pain
In time, you'll see the destroyer of all that's holy
Reignite the fires in this frigid heart of mine
Wake me from this slumber
(chorus)
I'll surrender to flames you started and use them to light my way
I'll remember the thrill of romance, as long as you light my way
(chorus)
But it was consequence
Just promise to light my way
7. Black Bile, White Lies
He's reigning down on the shadow lands again
Born as the bastard son, lost in his own pretension
Dastardly concerned, yet chipped away in time
You'll come to find out that your boy is never coming back
(chorus)
He's reared himself a throne, so bow to your king of nothing
Drowned himself again in black bile, bow to your king
His majesty, the wretch
He's drenched himself in the sweetest of all sin
Just one more rail he cries, as one foot graces his grave
Fearlessly inept, a failure from the womb
Apologies but your boy is never coming back
(chorus)
He's failed you all once again, conquered by the poisonous bliss
There will be no revival this time around
He's failed you all once again, conquered by the poisonous bliss
Well, he's far too gone now, too far gone to save
(chorus)
8. Sirens
Pessimism aside, I'll search to the edge of the earth just to find the
Enchantment of her voice in perfect rapture
Steered by the sound of persuasive song, seeking my dear absolution
With tears to match my plaintive woes, we'll create our own truths
Through these timeless fables, for this I've waited so long
(chorus)
The fates have spun a noose, it seems
Please siren set me free
And ravish me with seraphic song
Seduction leaves the lips of the exquisite siren
Attired in white, leaving me in a asphyxiated reverie
Can we re-write history?
Develop an ending without you drowning in the black depths
(chorus)
With each note and word I fell victim to the sound of her resplendence personified
Set me free, siren, set me free
(chorus)
With each note and word I fell victim to the sound of her resplendence personified
Oh, siren, set me free, ravish my with seraphic song
9. Through Leaves, Over Bridges
And so it erodes, from the septum to a numbed aorta
Yet I longed to run as I watched you grow smaller
And finally fade into the long perspective
This time you won't be calling out and I'll keep on longing
As you keep on walking
(chorus)
We'll never walk together through leaves and over bridges
Or hear the sound of bells ringing out from that lone tower
Steps strive towards forever
Yet broken limbs keep this child where he lies
Awol and choking on the bitter taste of desperation
The leaves still turn
This time you won't be coming back
A lifetime of longing, we all saw it coming
I longed to run
(chorus)
Remember me from time to time
And all I'd sacrifice in my life to share just one last walk with you
Remember me, remember virtue
Remember me
I won't fade away, just long for another day
10. On the Road (To Damnation)
Through the shadow of night, the lost and the sullen
Pariahs ignite the skies, leaving our worlds behind
Pillaging life beneath a western sky
Not one soul to spare, falling to their knees
Praying to idols who are no more than vagrants spreading disease
But we're just feeding the frenzied, luring them in and quenching an insatiable thirst
For the grim and despairing lay
(chorus)
We're on the road to damnation, upon horses pale we ride
Plaguing the earth everlasting, as the hounds of hell do bite
Through the piles of flesh, the damned and putrid
These mavericks will now descend, leaving our brides behind
Demoralize beneath a western sky
Not one soul to spare, falling to their knees
Praying to idols who are no more than vagrants spreading disease
But we're just feeding the frenzied, luring them in and quenching an insatiable thirst
For the grim and despairing lay
(chorus)
We're on the road to damnation, upon horses pale we ride
Plaguing the earth everlasting, forever we will ride
11. Turn Loose the Doves (Bonus track)
How's the air up there? With the faithless and aborted souls
And when the worms carried it away
Did you cry? Did you feel? Did you see me pray?
To gods and demons all alike, to those who would lend an ear that night
Three thousand miles high, these wayward wanderers fly
Halfway to heaven, yet a stones throw from hell
Through infinite sorrow soars our exquisite belle
(chorus)
Turn loose the doves and marvel at their flight with fractured wings
Turn loose the doves and listen to the morning chorus start to sing
Anthems of loss, all for you, they are all for you
My muse, I never wanted this to fall apart
Choke on the air up there, from the acid and reviled clouds
And when we glance down upon our shrine
There?s no viol, violet, and no vine
Nor rays from holy heaven bright
Sweet muse, how far have we strayed from this guiding light?
Halfway to heaven, yet a stones throw from hell
Through infinite sorrow soars our exquisite belle
(chorus)
Scarlet drenched and song less birds, deliver us from the underworld
Halfway to heaven, yet a stones throw from hell
Through infinite sorrow soars our exquisite belle
(chorus)
This was what I've got!!
Hope I helped!
