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 with Me Tonight
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
