1. The Evil Beside You (Edit Version)
As the day falls to the night
Then we take the stage
Play the game of life
Where everyone’s just trying to succeed
At dawn as the day begins
To weave our way through a world of sin
Temptation only leads to agony
And I can feel your tired, starving
Try to break through
Feel the weight of the world upon you
There’s nothing but Evil beside you
Watch out cuz they’re coming to get you
Another day just trying to get through
Live, love at times we grieve
But there’s so much more that we really need
Seems all there is are sketchy prophecies
Scratch, claw just to survive
Have to fight our way through this world of lies
Just so we can feed our families
And I can feel your tired, starving
Try to break through
Feel the weight of the world upon you
There’s nothing but Evil beside you
Watch out cuz they’re coming to get you
Another day just trying to get through
2. Time To Die
You have crossed the line
Your suicide, the final ride
You ignored the signs
A helpless fight it ends tonight
Your souls traveling on
All the twisted things you’ve done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it’s all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You’re not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It’s time for you to die
Time is all but out
Death calls for you, what can you do
Try to form a lie to buy some time
So you can run and hide
And beg and plead before the lord
You’ll be on your knees
All the twisted things you’ve done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it’s all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You’re not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It’s time for you to die
It’s time for you to die
All the twisted things you’ve done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it’s all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You’re not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It’s time for you to die
All the twisted things you’ve done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it’s all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You’re not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It’s time for you to die
It’s time for you to die
It’s time for you to die
3. The Evil Beside You (Full Version)
When we were young but never told
How the world could be so cold
As we change from young to old
The night takes us away
The night takes us away
As the day falls to the night
Then we take the stage
Play the game of life
Where everyone’s just trying to succeed
At dawn as the day begins
To weave our way through a world of sin
Temptation only leads to agony
And I can feel your tired, starving
Try to break through
Feel the weight of the world upon you
There’s nothing but Evil beside you
Watch out cuz they’re coming to get you
Another day just trying to get through
Live, love at times we grieve
But there’s so much more that we really need
Seems all there is are sketchy prophecies
Scratch, claw just to survive
Have to fight our way through this world of lies
Just so we can feed our families
And I can feel your tired, starving
Try to break through
Feel the weight of the world upon you
There’s nothing but Evil beside you
Watch out cuz they’re coming to get you
Another day just trying to get through
4. The Dark (Live)
The smoke from my last cigarette
Disappears into the lights
Waiting on something to make this feeling right
I twist and moan, and turn the other cheek
I wait for my moment to be free
I’m not alone
I’m not alone
The night is black it twists and turns
Inside it’s agony
It waits for you, it waits for me, in all its majesty
I can feel it, I can hear it, I can see it
Slowly coming closer to me now
It’s breathing, heart is beating, thoughts misleading
Reality has somehow broken down
Slowly slips away, slips into the grave
I don’t think I’ll ever, ever, ever get away
Somehow save our souls, as the darkness calls,
From beyond these walls
I feel something’s going wrong
The dark descends upon this
World of anger, hate and greed
Surrounding you, engulfing me
Now all that we can see
Lying, cheating, children bleeding
Mothers pleading
Will you stop it, will you stop it now
Can you feel it, do you hear it
It’s so near, it’s coming closer, coming closer now
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you know
Tell me can we ever really ever get away
Try to save our souls as the dark unfolds
All that’s still untold
I feel something’s going wrong
And as the dark begins to die into another day
And fate is testing once again all we can do is pray
To sweet Jesus, will you lead us, do you hear us
Calling to you, calling to you now
We’re praying, contemplating, situations
That can fall before us even know
Tell us what you need, tell us what you want
As the hands of time have all but exited the play
Tell us what’s in store, fall all that stand before
As the dark unfolds…
I feel something’s going wrong
5. People Say - Gimme Some Hell (Live)
I told you about the sirens
And the hunger for flesh
I showed you the dungeons
Beneath the city’s unrest
Feel the power of the night
Make the legions strong
And by the grace of the witch
I bring to you this song…hear the people say
Hear the people say… hear the people say
Hear the people say, just gimme some hell
We enter the halls of the mountain king
Beyond the doors of the dark
Flying on strange wings
From the streets to the gutter
In a summer’s rain
Do you hear the hounds they call
And tonight he grins again… hear the people say
Hear the people say… hear the people say
Hear the people say, just gimme some hell
Somewhere in time I believe
Visions off in a dream
Start as nothing turn to something
Look to the morning sun
Through the hourglass
One child turns to me
And says…Take a chance
Hear the people say… hear the people say
Hear the people say, just gimme some hell
Somewhere in time I believe
Visions off in a dream
Start as nothing turn to something
