SANCTIFIED
04:23

|

your soul laid at my altar
keep faith and never falter
each day, higher and higher
don’t stray, I’m your reminder
each sin I will deliver
no shame, I’m your forgiver
this sweat, your absolution
don’t fret, I’m the solution
didn’t believe
now you believe
when you’re down on your knees
I set you free
you’ve been sanctified
don’t you run away
from me tonight
this is our final flame
gave yourself to me
you’ll never be the same
you’re sanctified
won’t let you get away
receiving your confessions
exorcize your possessions
under this spell I bind you
heart swells, I will remind you
didn’t believe
now you believe
when I’m down on my knees
crucify me
you’ve been sanctified
don’t you run away
from me tonight
this is our final fate
gave yourself to me
you’ll never be the same
sanctified
your love won’t get away
this dark light shines upon you
as you search for the answers
heart beats faster and faster
when you pray for forgiveness
I’m justifying your penance
in my arms you’ll be set free
here with me
this is the final flame, we’ll never be the same
sanctified
you’ve been sanctified
and don’t you run away
from me tonight
feed this eternal flame
gave yourself to me
you’ll never be the same
you’re sanctified
your love won’t get away
your love won’t get away
you’ll never get away
your love won’t get away

When Daylight Disappears
04:27

|

let it be
this cruel menagerie
on display but never free
let it play
this ghoulish cabaret
when the night falls I’ll be me
and will you tell the lies
I want to hear
wrapped around your finger
no sense of fear
when daylight disappears
when daylight disappears
celebrate
this luminescent state
let it rain all over me
will you testify
to all you hold dear
in the dark it’s crystal clear
right here
when daylight disappears
when daylight disappears
when daylight disappears
when daylight disappears
stay right here
will you sympathize
with tragedy
eyes that pierce right through me
what do they see
will you tell the lies
I want to hear
in the dark it’s crystal clear
right here
when daylight disappears
when daylight disappears
when daylight disappears
right here
stay right here
one night to destroy
one night to be your toy
one night to destroy
one night to be your toy
one night to destroy
one night to be your toy
one night to destroy
one night to be your toy

they set you up
and sat you in the shadows
to shut you up
and feel like nothing matters
a simple time
a simple life in tatters
to lead you blind
and deal
with other matters
follow the signs to heal
they left you shattered
borrow the time the angels steal away
baby, I know the crimes you pay
I need you here, but you’re far away
borrow the time the angels steal
the way you feel
they sliced you up
it cuts right to the marrow
and just enough
to bleed
away the shallow
a distant place
can make it hard to swallow
without a trace
you lead your own tomorrow
follow the signs to heal
they left you shattered
borrow the time the angels steal away
cause baby, I know the crimes you pay
I need you here but you’re far away
borrow the time the angels steal
the way you feel
this weight you feel
let it all go
let it all fall away
let it all molt away
why go so far astray
a million years from yesterday
reminds of the time the angels steal
all you need to know
all you need to know right here
why go so far astray
a million tears of yesterday
I know the time the angels steal
the way you feel

Psychogoria
Psychogoria
Psychogoria
I can’t believe that this is real
can’t shake the way I feel
don’t look now, it’s crawling up behind
Psychogoria
spinning around inside a dream
sweat on my brow, it starts to sting
I’m frozen now and wrapped inside a shroud
Psychogoria
I don’t believe in my own eyes
cause what they see I can’t describe
there’s a damned and evil thing inside of my mind
Psychogoria
'goria
Psychogoria
swinging along to the latest scream
it takes an axe to watch you bleed
you get away to still breathe
all this seems advised
Psychogoria
I can’t wake up, it follows me
this is a wolfman feeding on everything
I’m not at the scene of crime
Psychogoria
'goria
Psychogoria
I won’t be sated
love to be hated
voices still taunt me
restless and haunting
lost in the fire
crept up beside her
only to melt in her eyes
Psychogoria
'goria
Psychogoria
no no, yeah yeah yeah
no no, yeah yeah yeah
no no, yeah yeah yeah yeah

she said
let me be your God tonight
letting go instead
put me on top tonight
let me free your mind
dry your crying eyes
(she said)
let me take your breath
count your stars tonight
I want to be your guy
she said
let me be your guiding light
knotted to your bed
be your top tonight
let me hear your cries
I’m in charge tonight
(she said)
let me free your head
of all thought tonight
I want to be your
dead right
she could read my last rites
better hold on real tight
she controls my ecstasy, yeah
stay high
good until the last bite
I could never deny
she said
let me free your mind
and count your crimes
I want to be your guy
I’ve got no words no more
she has me on all fours
let me free your mind
and count your crimes
I want to be your
dead right
she could read my last rites
better hold on real tight
she controls my ecstasy
stay high
good until the last bite
I could end up denied
she said
let me free your mind
I’m your guiding light
(she said)
let me in your head
you’re all mine tonight
(she said)
let me place the bets
I can drive tonight
(she said)
put it to the test
count your stars tonight
I want to be your guy

DEADLUST
04:14
|
|

I, I want to find your veins
run out on the streets again
fight, need to get to you
but I know that I’m just
victim to your voodoo
that you do
take another hit of me
don’t you go run for cover
open your eyes and see
it’s just me, deadly lover
take a hit of me
don’t you go run for cover
open your eyes and see
I’m your deadly lover
just try to mitigate your fears
and I can wipe away those tears
cry when the moon is full
cause I know that we both
live for the push and pull
we do
the darkest breed in the darkest night
we lost our souls with each tender bite
and let it go without a trace
one wolf to another
let’s try to be brave oh
rise from the grave
the darkest breed in the darkest night
we lost our souls with each tender bite
Deadlust for all eternity
the skin we scratch and the bones we break
this suffering leads to comforting
we both know there’s no escape
take another hit of me
don’t you go run for cover
open your eyes and see
it’s just me, deadly lover
take a hit of me
don’t you go run for cover
open your eyes and see
I’m your deadly lover
just try to be brave
oh I’m gonna change
(tell me all the things you dream about me)
take a hit of me
take a hit of me
take a hit of me
take another hit of me

Your Tell Tale Heart
03:02
|
|
||
you’re cold as ice, you don’t play nice
and you leave me hanging on your line
lost, alone, strung out to dry
I always pray for one more day
and I play the fool for just a taste
it’s never enough anyway
but your heartbeat gives you away
your heartbeat gives you away
yeah you’re mean and cruel with the things you say
but your heartbeat gives you away
you’re never soft, hard at all costs
but you cut your nose just to spite your face
who ya fooling anyway
your heartbeat gives you away
your heartbeat gives you away
yeah you’re mean and cruel with the game you play
but your heartbeat gives you away
your heartbeat gives you away
your heartbeat gives you away
pounding in your neck
throbbing through your veins
your heartbeat gives you away
when time stands still
paused at your will
will you break the spell
or leave me unfulfilled
I know still
your heartbeat gives you away
your heartbeat gives you away
yeah you’re mean and cruel with what you won’t say
but your heartbeat gives you away
your heartbeat gives you away
your heartbeat gives you away
pounding in your neck
throbbing through your veins
your heartbeat gives you away
and I’ll place the bet that you’re gonna stay
no matter how many times you stray
your tell tale heart has left you betrayed
your heartbeat gives you away

BLACKFALLEN
04:07

you’re the goddess on the hill
for whom I always will
illuminate and immolate
my body for your kill
there’s a distant memory
of who I used to be
but you took his place
without a trace
and now I’ve been set free
Blackfallen
your heathen
my soul to keep and agonize
Blackfallen
to breathe in sighs
the darkening of my light
you’re a toxic remedy
pressuring me
to worship at your feet
you’re a sinful living grace
a Pollyannish state
that I can never leave
now you’re here with me
Blackfallen
your heathen
my soul to keep and agonize
Blackfallen
to breathe in sighs
stay the night
Blackfallen
your heathen
my soul to keep and compromise
Blackfallen
to breathe in sighs
the darkening of my light
disintegrate
my helpless fate
wash over me
don’t leave me here with nothing
better believe I’m rushing
deep in your throes
I long to be
now you’re here with me
Blackfallen
your heathen
my soul to keep and agonize
Blackfallen
to breathe in sighs
stay the night
Blackfallen
your heathen
my soul to keep and compromise
Blackfallen
to breathe in sighs
(giving your life away)
the darkening of my light
(giving your life away)
the darkening of my light
(giving your life away)
the darkening of my light
(giving your life away)
the darkening of my light

Start the Night
03:27
|
|
||
let’s start a fire
and let it rise
when the feeling comes
we just let it burn
in the dead of night
let’s start a fire
and cast it high
if it starts to wane
we just feed the flames
till they multiply
let’s start the night
I wouldn’t heed this curtain call
it’s better to bleed than take the fall
in a case like this
it’s worth the risk
you can’t live life like this
you can’t believe in something
when there’s nothing at all
let’s start a fire
and let it rise
when the feeling comes
we just let it burn
in the dead of night
let’s start a fire
and cast it high
if it starts to wane
we just feed the flames
till they multiply
let’s start the night
our scarlet stain won’t be in vain
just strike the match and watch the blaze
with a fatal kiss
here comes the wish
you can’t feel love like this
you can’t believe in something
when you’re trapped in these walls
let’s start a fire
and let it rise
when the feeling comes
we just let it burn
in the dead of night
let’s start desire
and rev it high
if it starts to stall
we just kick it all
into overdrive
let’s start a fire
let’s start a fire
let’s start a fire
let’s start a fire
let’s start the night
