LYRICS: Beautiful Dead Little Girl

LYRICS: Beautiful Dead Little Girl

Dec 08

she cries whenever light gets in her eyes
she laughs whenever anybody dies
she dances with bliss through the dark club metro mist
she moves in close and seals my doom with a kiss

and she is my, too death to die
beautiful dead little girl
beautiful dead little girl
beautiful dead little girl

watch out she’s out for blood tonight
she’ll bite your neck and fill your filthy heart with fright
she’s a death machine and she will poison you like lead
and if you make it past her fishnet stockings
my friend you’re as good as dead

and she is my, too death to die
beautiful dead little girl
beautiful dead little girl
beautiful dead little girl

she’s sad because she killed her mom and dad
she’s happy when her heart gets broke she’s glad
she’s a sharp stilletto blade and into blackest night she’ll fade
whenever lightning crashes she’ll be there
within the tomb where she gets laid

LYRICS: Song 13

LYRICS: Song 13

Dec 08

whips crack for you upright child / dream with torn dark eyes
spit hope up heaven’s aisle/ laugh with hell’s disguise
best intention plans mislaid / shelter the misunderstood
life’s devotion hearts betrayed / flailing in the flood

shut your eyes and die for awhile
lose yourself in the sandman’s song
there’s a place where you belong

helpless heroes sapphatic mire / mend this broken toy
angel doom fell demon desire / where did you learn joy
torrents of passion swimming clear / washing through your soul
plutonic strangers drenched in fear / wonder how they lost control

bite your lip and learn how to smile
embrace your newfound faith
turn your screws and take your place

youth’s deception lights your crown / save the hidden path
shun illusions of reknown / blindness to their wrath
split indulgence burning tongue / swallowed deeper sea
mute choir cries you’re too young / learning to be free

open your eyes and crush their denial
turn your back on apathy’s crime
take a breath for the first time

LYRICS: Dawn Begone

LYRICS: Dawn Begone

Dec 08

raised eyes / shining like wolven cries
bone blackening skies / bloody at the borderline
come ye here / there’s nothing for you to fear
it’s wickedly clear
….I’m your never falling tear

piper’s paid / ridding rats from the beds you’ve made
dead parade / heaven is a black charade
restless one / daughter of Oberon
kingless pawn
…destruction awaits your innocence
…obliteration shall commence
…farewell to light you pray repents upon
Dawn Begone

without doubt / your master has let you out
no need to shout / you walk the serpentine route
shiver with fear / all the angels disappear
shed no tear
…chills your heart as you’re standing near
…effortless evil makes it clear
…farewell to light your life depends upon

radiate / you’ve come to celebrate
tempting fate / shake a fist at heaven’s gate
linger on / godless pantheon
precious non
…you embrace the final prayer
…look for saviors I’m not there
…brush the light out of your hair and run

LYRICS: Calling All The Children of The (Night)

LYRICS: Calling All The Children of The (Night)

Dec 08

there will be shadows in your heart
whenever light decides to part
and all the world will fade away
you’ll be left alone, and I will hear you say

calling all children of the night
curse the sun and kill the light
shut your eyes and shut them tight
calling all children of the night

the blackness deviates from your aura
no lover’s flame ignites this sinister mennora
and when in doubt you pout like Pandora
your kamikaze heart cries Tora! Tora! Tora1

so read my runes and learn the sacred spell
and toss a coin on down your darkest wishing well
will blackest night prevail? only time will tell
I call my armies to do battle (with all the minions of Hell)

LYRICS: Release The Hounds

LYRICS: Release The Hounds

Dec 07

You scream in midnight light / you howl you kick and you bite
I pray forgiveness but I know it won’t be with us tonight
Incensed, you flee from our chamber / Outside, there waits only danger
I frantically seek to find you, as the dark falls down around you

And so I climb the tower to find the old man keeper of the grounds
He says he saw you running through the fog beside the ancient burial mounds
I don’t like how that sounds… Release the Hounds

You laugh alone in my dreams / This swamp is not as it seems
No sign of daylight coming / We must divide into teams
I searched the Crimson Black Bog / I searched the Marshes of Night
Pray hope for you my Lady / until the dawn’s early light

And so I tear up every branch and thorn to find my precious wayward bride
Soon I’m consumed by Mother Earth and battle shadow on every side
I pray she hasn’t died… Release the Hounds

What’s this? I hear something stirring / Is it my lady in white?
I find a tattered bloody gown / My heart recoils from the sight
Two steps away do I find her / face down and bare to the bone
She’s left this world for another / She walks to Heaven alone

And so I climb the tower and stand atop it, overlooking all my grounds
And as I leap to join her, I listen closely as my final heartbeat pounds
And the Death Knell sounds…. Release the Hounds

LYRICS: Broken Things

LYRICS: Broken Things

Dec 07

Through night, a hope / give wings to my prayers
let it fly free or come back to me / if there’s no angel who cares
I’d die for a touch, I don’t ask much / that’s what Stephanie said.
I take all I can, or all I can stand / Don’t let it go to my head.

Don’t waste your emotion on broken things
I’ll waste your devotion, I’m a broken thing

If you don’t have time, or you lose your mind / you can always have mine
Strange little girl, lost in the world / find me down by the sea
give me some wine, white like my eyes / that’s what Stephanie said.
Stares in the air, I’ll you see up there / I’ll have the sky for a bed.

Don’t waste your emotion on broken things
I’ll waste your devotion, I’m a broken thing

Wind whips through my eyes, it cools my mind
Why did you leave me here? with nothing to feel, nothing to fear
I strain for your voice, absence of choice / I don’t see you up there
Can’t feel your flesh, can’t feel the air.

Dreams visit for pain, run like the rain
I’ll always be here / With nothing to feel, nothing to fear

I have no more emotion, I’m a broken thing
You’re lying with my devotion, we’re broken things
Through night, a hope / give wings to my prayers
let it fly free or come back to me / if there’s no angel who cares
I take all I can, or all I can stand / Don’t let it go to my head.
I’d die for a touch, I don’t ask much / that’s what Stephanie said.

LYRICS: Bruise Knife

LYRICS: Bruise Knife

Nov 08

too close to Barstow
too far from home
you left me heartless
left me alone

you rock and rollers
you’re all the same
you get your fuck on
you kill again

I stab your picture
you stab my life
I stab your door down baby with double-edge bruise knife

bruise knife

your mouth is bleeding
your bones are broke
jezebel with the heart of a jackal come and dangle from the end of my rope
you took my black heart
and made it white
said it would last forever then you killed it at the end of the night

bruise knife

so there you are now – so dressed up so fucking cool
you got your sycophant boys and all they got is love for you
walk walk away girl, you I’ll not follow
kiss kiss all the love you need but you better not swallow
