The End of The End

Let’s cut down every tree

Raise the mountains

Drain the sea

Let’s turn it all into dust

There’s nothing ‘bout nature

That I trust

Let’s dry out every riverbed

Leave every little fish there dead

There’s no balance anymore

We have won the war!

It’s the end of the end

It’s the end of the end

It’s the end of the end

It’s the end of the end…

And the gods just shake their heads

And rain down tears of snow

We have won this world

For our very own

Let’s build our new homes

On the bones of the old

Tonight we march upon

The broken back of love

Let’s cut tear down that sun and moon

For we have broken them too

And when there’s nothing left

We will break you! 

It’s the end of the end

It’s the end of the end

It’s the end of the end

It’s the end of the end…

The Huntress

I’m caught in your trap

And you’re dragging me back

Will I be set free

Or will you paint me black?

Will you cut me to pieces

With my head upon the rack

Will you love me tenderly

As you sharpen the axe?

Use my bones to build a bow

So you can shoot your arrows at the world

Just keep me in your heart

And don’t let go

They say this life is all about give and take

And I have given mine away

I tried to take your heart

But now I face the blade

Now I’m ready to be skinned alive

And I’m ready to be fileted by you

Now I really don’t mind

As long as you put my body to good use

Use my bones to build a bow

So you can shoot your arrows at the world

Just keep me in your heart

And don’t let go

No, don’t let go

No, no, no.

Don’t let go.

Drowning Men

What would you do

If you found a drowning man at sea?

Would you reach out

Or let him drown in his own dream?

Would you call out

And beckon to him?

Would you hesitate

Or dive right in?

What would you do

If you found yourself drowning too

Drowning in a sea of drowning men

Each one pulling you down with him

It’s hard enough to stay afloat

In this very modern world

It’s hard enough not to choke

When even your friends go for the throat

We’ve spent our entire lives

Fighting the tides

As one wave starts to crash

Another swells to rise

What would you do

If you found yourself drowning too

Drowning in a sea of drowning men

Each one pulling you down with him

What would you do

If you found yourself drowning too

Drowning in a sea of drowning men

Each one pulling you down with hie

Beautiful Losers

It’s been a Dorian Gray kind of day

Another broken man in a picture frame

Trying so hard to hold on

As the years just fade away..

I was always so Wilde about you 

I’d have been the John to your Salomé

We’re such beautiful losers 

In our own way

The Earnest approach

With my head on your plate

I’d have given you my heart

But you were just 7 veils away

There’s no control when there’s fate

We’re just dying nightingales led astray

We’re such beautiful losers (you and I..)

We’re the beautiful losers tonight

We’ll never win

For when we lose

We’re still beautiful

We never had a chance

This world was not meant for me and you

We’re too beautiful

We’re so beautiful

I was always so Wilde about you

I’d have been the John to your Salomé

We’re such beautiful losers 

In our own way

We’re such beautiful losers (you and I..)

We’re the beautiful losers tonight

Never Know

I am the spider who cannot sew

A starving dog licking an empty bowl

I am the cock without its crow

I am everything I don’t know

I am beauty left all alone

A love that cannot grow

I am flesh without the bone

I am everything I cannot know

Words are just words

Like “I love you” and “I told you so”

But there are some things

you can never know

I am now six feet under snow

An avalanche of all the low

I am lost to myself

I am everything I’ll never know

Words are just words

Like “I love you” and “I told you so”

But there are some things

you can never know

Words are just words

I know

I don’t know

Stay

Shake off the snow

Of your troubles and woes

It’s a frozen world

But it’s warm inside

I’ll take you in from the cold

Show you heat you’ve never been shown

Entire worlds you’ve never known

If you stay with me tonight

(Restez avec moi ce soir)

Stay with me tonight

(Restez avec moi ce soir)

It’s warm inside.. so…

Stay with me tonight

Je ne sais pas

Combien pouvez-vous payer

Give me your heart

And your frozen tears

Stay with me and I’ll

Melt your frozen fears

I’ll take you in from the cold

Show you heat you’ve never been shown

Entire worlds you’ve never known

If you stay with me tonight

(Restez avec moi ce soir)

Stay with me tonight

(Rester avec moi ce soir)

It’s warm inside.. so…

Stay with me tonight

Je ne sais pas

Combien pouvez-vous payer

Strange Violence

I gave her love I gave her blood

I gave her all I could bear

Her soft body wrapped in silk

No sense of danger in the air

I paid no mind to the tell-tale signs

And was deaf to the sirens everywhere

You could say that love is blind

But us blind boys just don’t care

She seemed so porcelain

My sweet little girl

But something changed within her

I dared not unfurl

I paid no mind to the tell-tale signs

And was deaf to the sirens everywhere

You could say that love is blind

But us blind boys just don’t care

A strange violence

A cold cold world

The Great Silence

Goodbye, little girl

Her teeth grew pointed

Her accent changed

She was no longer my love

Just a spirit enraged

As her claws raked my face

I dug my own grave

Still trying to embrace

A heart turned away

A strange violence

A wicked wind blows

Left broken and silent

That’s just how love goes

You could say that love is blind

But us blind boys just don’t care

A strange violence

A cold cold world

The Great Silence

Goodbye, little girl

We Are Waves

You are my trembling ocean

And I’m your raging sea

Here to rush to you

As you flow through me

I’d drive you to the shoreline

Riding liquid skin

Until you pushed back against me

And I drive you back again

We are waves

We are wind

You end where I begin

We are waves

We are wind

You end where I begin

I have risen from the greatest depths

Willed by a molten heart

And I will go back down to them

Once I’ve drowned in your arms

You are my lovely ocean

And I your longing sea

Forever rushing to you

As you flow through me

We are waves|

We are wind

You end where I begin

We are waves

We are wind

You end where I begin

Christopher Lee

I’ve been a soldier and a sailor

A prisoner and the jailor

I’ve been on the prowl and under cover

I’ve been a monster and your lover

I’ve been all over the world

I have seen all there is to see

I’ve worn a thousand faces

But I don’t know which is me

Sometimes I feel like Christopher Lee

I’ve been a pirate and a poet

A nobleman and a thief

I’ve been a heretic, a priest,

A beggar, and a king

I’ve been a crooked politician

A hero and a villain

The son of the dragon

A vampire and a victim|

I’ve led lambs to slaughter

Brought the devil your daughter

And all of this with such class and dignity

Sometimes I feel like Christopher Lee
