Take

There’s nothing here like the rule of law
There’s nothing here except hell’s gaping maw
We were laced in innocence
Now we’re choking on lavish decadence
All you see is yours to keep once you take it from your fellow man
There’s nothing here like decency
There’s no one here like you or like me
There is a hunger that grows inside
Every moment of every life
All you see is yours to keep once you take it from your fellow man

Dead Men
03:01
|

|
She was a pretty little thing, ruthless as could be
She took me to the riverside on a cool summer’s eve
She led me to the water, told me to dive in
She plunged that knife into my back again and again
You don’t know where the dead men go
Where do all the dead souls go
I know you had mother once upon a time
She must have been an angel, must have been divine
You tried to follow in her footsteps, didn’t do too well
She’ll be singing in a choir while you’re burning in hell
You don’t know where the dead men go
Where do all the dead souls go
There is no escaping the relentless march of time
Though we don’t like to admit it no one makes it out alive
The wheels of fate start turning and it makes an awful sound
The world will still be burning while we’re rotting in the ground
You don’t know where the dead men go
Where do all the dead souls go?

Ghost Of Stephanie Hall
03:08

|
I know your bones are under this house
Who put you there so deep underground
Your suitors come calling, seems you’re never home
But you’re always home for me
Come hell or high water you’ll be by my side
My saddest companion for all of my life
I couldn’t have you, you chose to die
When you said you didn’t love me
They’ll never find you, I hid you away
To make me happy the rest of my days
The doting husband and his rotting wife
Oh why couldn’t you love me
I know your bones are under this house
I buried you there so deep underground
My love is undying, eternally so
And now I’ve made you mine ‘til the end of time

The Devil Loves Me So
02:56
|
|||
|
There’s a sickness in the hearts of man
And it permeates throughout the land
Innocence and goodness be damned
It’s the perfect execution of our savior’s plan
Praise be unto the morning star
Who hath delivered us into the dark
He wraps me up in his loving arms
And I know he will never do me harm
I know the devil loves me so
I hope he never lets me go
Come on baby don’t you be so blue
I know for certain that he loves you too
Just look around you if you need some proof
Take his hand and he’ll see you through
In his house the whiskey flows like wine
May we forever drink, dance and dine
For I am his and he is mine
And I will love him ‘till the day I die
I know the devil loves me so
I hope he never lets me go

Doubt
03:17
|
|||
|
We are all so full of doubt
Staring intently at the ground
Knowing that’s where we are eventually bound
We are all so full of doubt
We are all so empty inside
No, there is no inner shining light
Knowing that we’re balanced on the edge of a knife
We are all so empty inside
We are all so very alone
We prayed to god but nobody was home
Knowing that the world is just a cold, spinning stone
We are all so very alone
We are all so needlessly blind
Patiently biding our time
Hoping that we’ll wake up from two thousand years of night
We are all so needlessly blind

Murder In The Valley
02:32
|
|||
|
They found him out beside his house sprawled on the ground
A bullet in his back, killer nowhere to be found
He was the first but he will not be the last
With a bullet in his back and his blood on the grass
We dug him a grave, laid him to rest
His broken heart buried still in his chest
There’s a first time for everything
With time and all the change it brings
There’s nowhere to safe to hide
Not even by my side
They found her down by the river, drenched to the bone
Carried by the current five miles from her home
She didn’t leave a letter, no there was no need
Made to take her own life by the weight of her deeds
I don’t know just what he did to his darling wife
To deserve being killed with his own .45
There’s an explanation for everything
With time and all the change it brings
There’s nowhere safe to hide
Not even by my side

Burn
02:54
|
|||
|
Come sit with me if I may be so bold
My darling girl down at the watering hole
We’ll drink and sing all through the night
I’ll tell you that I love you when the time is right
I’d burn the whole damn world for my darling girl
Let’s get lost out on the edge of town
Search for our savior in his fiery crown
Ask him to bless our eternal love
There’s only one girl I’m always thinking of
I’d burn the whole damn world for my darling girl
My baby’s got a heart so true
She loves the darkness and she loves me too
Behind her eyes there’s burning coal
There’s only malice down in her soul
Yes I’d burn the whole damn world for my darling girl

Limb From Limb
02:19
|
|||
|
I get it wrong more than I get it right
Everybody knows I’ve been a damn fool tonight
I’ve had one drink too many, my world is spinning ‘round
You clean up well and you look alright
But now I hear you telling one of your filthy lies
You may not be bound for heaven but you’re not even trying
This life will tear you limb from limb
It will take all that you have and leave you nothing
I love you baby and you know that I do
But I can’t stop loving all those other women too
I’ve hade two drinks too many, my world keeps spinning ‘round
So take my hand and follow me into the night
We’ll spend forever talking underneath the moonlight
We may not be bound for heaven but we’re not even trying
This life will tear you limb from limb
It will take all that you have

Adeline
04:06
|
|||
|
Her hunger grows and grows until it swallows you whole
She’ll never be satisfied as long as she’s alive
It grows and grows, consumes you body and soul
Her thirst for vice will get you every time
Oh, Adeline
She’ll love you and she’ll leave you when all your time is gone
She’ll love you and she’ll leave you when all your time is gone
She’ll leave you by your lonesome, that’s what she had planned all along
She’ll seduce you and she’ll ruin you and promise you the world
She’ll seduce you and she’ll ruin you and promise you the world
She is hellfire and brimstone wrapped up inside a little girl
Her hunger grows and grows until it swallows you whole
She’ll never be satisfied as long as she’s alive
It grows and grows, consumes you body and soul
Her thirst for vice will get you every time
Oh, Adeline
Every man who ever loved her was strung up by his neck
Every man who ever loved her was strung up by his neck
She’s the worst of all the plagues god could have sent
No one knows just where she came from or what her real name is
No one knows just where she came from or what her real name is
She will steal your heart and seal your fate with a kiss
Her hunger grows and grows until it swallows you whole
She’ll never be satisfied as long as she’s alive
It grows and grows, consumes you body and soul
Her thirst for vice will get you every time
Oh, Adeline
Her hand blotted out the sun
And on the wind great evil comes
A rider on a pale horse
Hell rejoiced the day she was born
Her hunger grows and grows until it swallows you whole
She’ll never be satisfied as long as she’s alive
It grows and grows, consumes you body and soul
Her thirst for vice will get you every time
Oh, Adeline
I swear on my mother’s grave I will always curse the day I met Adeline
