1. We Bury Our Dead At Dawn
Their whispers become like cries tears fall from blinded eyes ninty nine
have burned as embers ninty nine have lost their lives tired arms now fight
for life amidst the crashing waves they're drowning will you hold me until
mornings light and i'll tell you what its like to die tonight, its too late
to cry now she sees her face and screams was once so beautiful now kissed by
flames and showered with glass so beautiful, yet so cruel the way love tends
to be her beauty so cruel the way love tends to be
2. Habeas Corpus
stabwounds will take their toll murderer with her smile and as an
afterthought she kept the heart he gave her beauty can be so cruel she once
swore him forever to make good on her word ensured he'd never leave her she
lies and whispers loving words he lay bleeding on this floor a sigh a kiss
will end his pain and (she) drives the blade deeper still come closer to me
crimson streaks the pale skin of her face from the spray of blood from his
throat his eyes ever questioning why she swore never to leave him
3. Judas
they shut their eyes now that night has fallen and pray the wolves are kept
at bay for now the mist hangs arms wide open like some cruel depiction of
Christ for now the silence comforts lost souls who in this moment hang
gracefully by the dead hidden by shadows who've come to take them in their
sleep falling farther in darkness eyes wide lacking comprehension as
sillouettes dance in the flames their limbs bound by the shadows that seem
to stare back from the pits of black for now the silence comforts lost souls
who in this moment hang gracefully by the dead hidden by shadows who's
screams echo for eternity awakened by their screams like something of a
nightmare lacking the desire to breathe wishing for the end
4. Lines of Suicide
my heartstrings cease to strain i've aquired a taste for poisoned lips drank
deep of this disease in me adored with prying eyes beneath a mask made of
flesh and thorns collected from the ones she'd loved before her eyes were
opened wide she now could see forever traced deep the marks she'd made with
her razor the lines of suicide
5. Eyes Sewn Shut
dead skin weathered lifeless and torn the eyes sewn shut and tounge form the
mouth she lay bleeding scarlet stains ripped out the stiches his hands
blasphemy
6. Nausea
7. Shotgun Wedding
she wasn't born in that brothel i'm told well aware of where she was well
aware of where she'd end up in what position dressed in red down on her
knees she'd done this sort of thing before choaking back on this disease
dressed to kill to die for her pretty face hides the demons inside the kind
that haunt her in her sleep she was found face down in that ditch her skirt
hiked up dressed in red down on her knees she'd done this sort of thing
before make up chases the tears down her face the handprints left on her
throat he hits her she'd ask for more he hits her she'd ask for...
8. Vivid
in the midnight hour we wished for dawn alas we've reaced the final gaze
pull the pins from beneath my skin kissing each of your eyelids closed
murderer she looks beautiful bleeding and the tears fell down so tired i
crawl deep inside of her i stole a glance of your heart beating i watched
until your lungs ceased bleeding, breathing
9. Paint It Black (Rolling Stones cover)
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
10. The Damned
songs made of whispers silent screams like a choral of the dead needles
prick the softest skin and the breeze screams bloodlust these eyes gazing
over the hilltops burning red the night skies seem to follow me blanketing
me with crowds of grey and black the crowd of the damned screams eyes shown
red raise the dead the breeze screaming over the whispers in the dark
setting the leaves in sway hanging there like a body from the raftors
smiling back at me they wait in eager circles for me to stagger into the
darkness these images that i have seen they still burn inside of me
