Long Dark Car
02:38
|
|||
|
Long dark car drive through the night,
God-long way to go.
The moon hath hid, the sky alight,
For miles you’ve been alone.
On this bend, on this stretch, a wicked wind did blow.
Long dark car drive through the night,
Will you make it home?
Hold on tight!
Long dark car drive through the night,
Will you make it home?
The moon hath hid, the sky alight,
And now you’re not alone.
From the black, a head of light,
A phantom rear and close.
Long dark car drive through the night,
Never made it home.
Hold on tight!
Long dark car drive through the night.

Black Magic
03:21
|
|||
|
Black magic in your eyes,
Dark manners in disguise,
Black dreams of you and I,
Dead fantasies alive,
Bending me to your will, haunting me for the thrill,
Dark magic deep inside,
The black magic deep inside.
Indeed! Sister,
I'll give you what you want, what you need.
Dark beams of inner light distort the moonlit night,
Circles of salt deny,
The creatures you cannot hide,
The keys to another world,
Oh please let my life return,
The dark magic deep inside,
The black magic deep inside.
Indeed! Sister,
I'll give you what you want, what you need.

Distant Stars
03:06
|
|||
|
Lost in space where he can't be seen,
Lives an ancient dream.
And he came like a tidal wave,
On the shore, up the land,
Through the air,
Through the cities,
And he knows where I am,
Always to be.
And he looks,
And he says to me, "Haunted is all I see."
Then I shook,
Something ran through me,
Something took, took ahold,
Crawled inside, took ahold of me.
And he knows what I am,
Always to be,
Lonely little helpless thing, standing in the dark,
Have you loved the light from distant stars?
Lonely little helpless thing, standing in the dark,
Have you loved the light from distant stars?
Lonely little helpless thing, standing in the dark,
Have you loved the light from distant stars?

Alive, He Cried
02:21
|
|||
|
A hell-made storm is on its way,
A man-made form its power takes.
Oh, you’re terrible, you’re terrible today.
Oh, your stare is full of dead men and decay.
"It's alive!" oh, he cried.
He cried "Oh, it's alive!"
Heavy thumps outside your door,
Ghostly steps upon your floor,
You know who waits for you has waited for this day,
And oh, who waits for you will take you far away.
"It's alive!" oh, he cried.
He cried "Oh, it's alive!"

The Strain
05:13
|
|||
|
The strain is always there to find.
It came when we drew the lines,
A force from another time,
That preys always on our lives.
The strain’s never gone for long.
It calls like a siren’s song,
And breaks men who hear her call,
And stands them against a wall.
Better run when bloody murder's on the way.
The strain’s down a winter road,
That drove men into the cold,
And warm days were left behind.
The strain’s always there to find.
Better run when bloody murder is on the way.

Vampyre
02:53
|
|||
|
How strange the light when night fall comes,
It frees the mind and cruels the blood.
(Vampyre) He stays forever.
(Vampyre) You’ll be his pleasure.
(Vampyre) I’ll die or sever.
(Vampyre) (I’ll leave but my blood’s in you).
You’re so alive, I feel your will.
You come in dreams and drain your fill.
(Vampyre) He stays forever.
(Vampyre) You’ll be his pleasure.
(Vampyre) I’ll die or sever.
(Vampyre) (I’ll leave but my blood’s in you).

Graverobbers
03:42
|
|||
|
Fingers numb,
Death has come tonight.
Empty some,
Others hide from sight.
Bodies deep,
Secrets keep.
How we want,
How we make all our money robbing graves.
Lift this one,
Feel the body slide.
Golden rings bring my heart delight.
Bodies deep,
Care if we...
How we want,
How we make all our money robbing graves.
How we want,
How we make all our money robbing graves.

Demons
02:45
|
|||
|
Let them in and you'll rue the day,
They creeped inside.
With demons you lay.
I'm not letting my demons escape.
I'm not letting my demons get away.
Break a spell and a new one is cast.
Live in hell where your future's fading fast.
I'm not letting my demons escape.
I'm not letting my demons get away.
Let them in.
Let them in.
Let them in.
Let them in.
I'm not letting my demons escape.
I'm not letting my demons get away.

East of Adelaide
03:39
|
|||
|
With your heart all full of flame and your night sky on the wane,
When the morning breaks the day on the darker side of town,
Where the drugs can drag you down and the gold ain't layin’ around,
And a fall would save you now, yeah a fall would save you now.
Nobody cares what happens E.O.A.,
'Cuz no one sees you east of Adelaide.
With your heart all full of flame set on fire by solar rays,
And your mind so full of rage when you think it’s all a loss,
And you think what it has cost - your arm and your age,
But your heart’s a solar flame.
Nobody cares what happens E.O.A.,
'Cuz no one sees you east of Adelaide.
With your hearts all full of flame and your “nice-guy” gone away,
And your mind so full of rage but your heart is so afraid,
Yeah, your heart is so afraid.
Nobody cares what happens E.O.A.,
'Cuz no one sees you east of Adelaide.

Brain To My Body
02:59
|
|||
|
Inside of me, a monstrous mind,
It makes me mad and so unkind.
You’ll see my smile,
And you’ll see my eyes,
Three empty half-moons without a sky.
Give back my brain to my body,
Destroy the darkness I know,
Give back the mind that has let me go.
Heaven or hell? A trick or treat?
While people watch me in the street.
I’ll make a scene and I’ll scream and shout,
And I want to see your teeth fall out.
Give back my brain to my body,
Destroy the darkness I know,
Give back the mind that has let me go.

Ghosts
11:55
|
|||
|
I’ll let you in on a secret, love. Now, where to begin what I’m thinking of?
These ghosts of mine are all wanting some scraps of time,
But they’ll get none.
These lifeless limbs that weigh me down,
These bare-bone shins and grimy gown,
These deafened ears that don’t know sound,
And empty eyes that creep around.
Hey, you're fading away.
Life ends too soon in a silent squeal,
And graveyard blues have no appeal.
They’ll pull you in and make you feel,
That truth is a lie and the lie is real.
Hey, you're fading away.
