Sweeter than blood
Softer than skin
Under this moon
Should love begin
Oh I caught this rabbit
I want you to have it
And I'll be praying don't forget me
When you go
I'll chew my fingers to the bone
Bring you the head of any throne
If that will prove i love you so
Sweeter than blood
Softer than skin
Promise me time
Will never win
My heart it dont beat
But I feel like its bleeding
So I shot a man in reno
Just to make you this coat
And I would build you a house of bones
If that would prove I love you so
Oh I'm begging baby please don't go…

Cold Steel on the Road
03:16
|
|||
|
Well my brother and I made my mother die
On the day that we were born
And she had no kin who could take us in
So we came up on our own
Grew up fast and mean in the Genoa streets
Never planned on getting old
Till he found a wife and I made a life
Out of cold steel on the road
And I’m gone
A few years, few fights, few sleepless nights
Then I rode back into town
Lookin to find sweet brother of mine
But he’s six feet underground
Said a rough-talking man and his brigand band
Did him in not a month ago
And I swore that night if it cost my life
I’d slit that bastard’s throat
And I’m gone
Moving on
Won’t return till I’ve fulfilled my bloody vow
Steady hands hold sharpened blades
Could be years, could be days
But I know his time is running out
In a house by a pond just south of Milan
Is where I found my man
I figure him the type to like company at night
So I hatched me up a plan
Well I strolled into town wearing rouge and a gown
He never did suspect
Till I left him for dead bleeding out on the bed
Two daggers in his neck
And I’m gone
Moving on
I still hear his screams, it’s such a lovely sound
Bloody hands hold bloody blades
Could be years, could be days
But I know my time is running out
Well I felt the sound coming through the ground
Of hoofbeats on the street
It was six and ten of the brigand’s men
All armed right to the teeth
I dove for the ground as they rode me down
I thought the end was nigh
Then I saw such a sight, it was a burning light
Coming down out of the sky
And I’m gone
Moving on
All my worldly cares they seem so funny now
Now I’m running through this maze
No more years, no more days
But I know that time will run me out

Suck Me Dry
02:14
|
|||
|
My dear it was over before we could start
No man can pull these three blades from my heart
No lifetime you could sate me so
Taste of blood in my mouth says it's time to go again
The world we walked must end
No lover nor a friend
So suck me dry then
I found him alone in the cold in the dark
A covenant sworn three stakes to my heart
My souls for my freedom your ring for my grave
I'm frozen in time but without a debt to pay
I'll see you again one day
Now you've become my prey
Dont suck me dry babe
Woah...
I peel your wretched coating
Flay you with my teeth
Drag you down in the soil
To the world that lays beneath
My sickness your hell
Til death to us part
No man can pull these three blades from my heart

Nature's Worst Crime
03:22

I saw you die
I saw you rise
Four needles to my eyes
A memory confined
I saw you die
I saw you rise
Where angels cry
My heart ignited
I saw you die
I saw you rise
Nature's worst crime
I witnessed for time

Calling All Monsters
03:08
|

|
All the demons I've slain
Curled up at my feet
I fought them with fire
Now its my hand that feeds
I am calling all monsters
All beasts of wrath
That creep from within
They will haunt you
They will keep you
They will eat you
From underneath your skin
Look here I've got
Five new pointy knives
I heard you're running
Out of reasons why
I already made up
My hungry mind about you
I will hold you
I will squeeze you
And I won't let go
Until your face is blue
I've got a knack for
Drawing out poison
I'll down in your throat
And pull out your organs
You can call me a monster
I'll call you detoxified
I will hunt you
I will harvest
I will react your life
Before your eyes
I just need a meal
I just need a meal
I just need a meal
And you look repulsing
I just want a taste
I just want a taste
I'll just get my fill
And leave you convulsing
Yea, woohoo
Get him girls...
All the demons I've slain
Curled up at my feet
I fought them with fire
Now its my hand that feeds
I am calling all monsters
All beasts of wrath
That creep from within
They will haunt you
They will keep you
They will eat you
From underneath your skin

Mercy I Cried
03:01
|
|||
|
Mercy, mercy I cried
To the hex of the sword
The healer devine
But mercy
Kept me marching
In line
Mercy, mercy I cried
To the deepest of voids
The wrinkles in time
But mercy
Couldn't undo
This bind
There's no time like the present
The future's coming fast
Darling, you're stuck living
In the past
There's no place like tomorrow
When you need to get away
Though i promise
That this time I'll stay
Mercy, mercy i cried
To the shapeless earth
Holy mother of mine
But mercy
Couldn't pay for
Your crime
Love me, love me so fine
A beast with no soul
But with human in her eyes
Shes never
Known mercy
In her life
There's no time like the present
The future's coming fast
Darling, you're stuck living
In the past
There's no place like tomorrow
When you have to run away
Oh i swear it
That next time I'll stay
And when I finally say I love you
You'll know that its a lie
Just another way of saying goodbye

Little Birds
02:06

I was brave and you were not
I hope you remember that
I walked through a wicked storm
Seven daggers in my back
You were stoned, better of alone
Pulling smokes from my pack
I was brave and you were not
Remember that
I was brave and you were not
Remember that
What's the word little bird
The worst cosmic joke I've ever heard
Break the wheel, little birdy's neck too
They say don't kill the messenger
But I got a match for every card
That told me I should open up to you
I wanna break all your cigarettes in half
And hide your debit card
I wanna replace your conditioner with ketchup
I'm feeling sorry for myself
And everything I've said thus far
And taking the lowest road to where you are
Is it cold that heart of gold
The worst cosmic joke you've ever told
I'm trying to fake a laugh
Little birds can't find the words
You can kill them with one stone I've heard
I was brave and you were not
Remember that
I wanna take the last two forks you own
And let the air out of your tires
I know I've got no choice but to be alright
But tonight I'm a liar
Who drives into the sun such a vengeful star
Can you see my body burn from where you are?

Prayers Gone Silent
02:51
|
|||
|
I'm on a spiral
Inward I slide again
Choking on bile
Discarded my own skin
I know where I am
But I don't know when
Cartilage collapsing
How can I breath through it
Hear my bones cracking
It's ringing through my head
I know where I am
But I don't know when
Running out of time
Running out of space
Can't even recognize
The sight of my own face
No matter how i try
I can't escape this maze
It flows from foundry
Eight points all around me
Pushing the limit
I break through the boundary
My prayers have gone silent
My prayers turn to violence
I tear down a wall
There's another one behind it
Oh, oh
Slipped out of my own
Slipped out of my own skin
Peel back the flesh
I climb from the chrysalis
I know where i am
I know where i am
I know where i am
But I don't know when

Perfect Sunrise
03:59
|
|||
|
Breathe out and in
I starve my skin
For knowing you
30 years now
I salt the ground
From which you grew
I've always been shallow
Never liked to be touched
I've always been evil
Never liked you that much
And even if its kills me
I will see the sunrise
Over every crooked house
In this town
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Bring me to the surface
Where the light meets the earth
Hold me at your center
Kiss my eyes as they burn
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Kills me this time
As above
I never knew love
But I knew you
So below
I'd madly go
To swallow you
I've always been impatient
And I've never been fine
I've always been sinful
You never seemed to mind
And even if it kills me
I will let the sunlight
Fill every porous hole
In my skin
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Bring me to my senses
I'll bring you to your knees
Kiss my scattered ashes
Let it nourish the trees
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Kills me this time
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Kills me this time
This might be the perfect sunrise
This might be the perfect sunrise
This might be the perfect sunrise
This might be...
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Oh god I hope it kills me this time
Bring me to the surface
Surround me with 9 blades
Hold me at you center
Kiss my lips as they say
Oh god I hope it kills me this time

Devour Me, Rosemary
05:19

(Cadence)
Another cold dawn
Another day spent
Another year gone
Don't know where it went
I'm bound to the wheel
And though i struggle
I'll never break free
Everything's rot
Everything's rust
I've seen your cities
All crumble to dust
Over and over again
There's no escape from entropy
In the night i remember
The feel of your teeth in my veins
I love you forever
Tomorrow you won't know my name
I'll pay the price
I'll take the blame
Your love and damnation
Are one in the same
We belonged to the fire
Since the first that i saw you bleed
What a wife you would be
What a life you would live
What sentence you’d carry
And never forgive
All these years I've stay silent
For a moment I've never unseen
In the morning i reach for you
But the sun has whisked you away
I love you forever
Tomorrow you won't know my name
Fall out of line
To the time
Where i saw you
And natures worst crime
On the ground
Bleeding out
To your mouth
Immortality flowed
Heaven knows
What you sowed
When the reaper was cheated
And i took this spike
And undid
My whole love
My whole life
For you walk in the light
I am toeing the line
Between terror and time
And now never to find you
Again
(Susanna)
Rosemary, rosemary
Bury me under the garden
They said i had a very good life
I was a very good wife
Cardamom, cardamom
I feel the starting of something
The end and beginning again
Over and over they said
And you
Will never find me
You won't
And you
Will never lie to me
Not it can help it
Rosemary
Devour me
Devour me
Devour me
(Cadence)
Another cold dawn
Another day spent
Another year gone
Don't know where it went
And so turns the wheel
Ten sickles surround me
If i dare to slide
They threaten my flesh
They tear at my skin
Pulling me back
Can end or begin
Traversing this loop
Forever decaying in my own mind
In the night i remember
The feel of your hollow frame
I love forever
Though you will never
Know my name
