You promised that we would never part
Then you ran roughshod over my heart
How could you take it all away?
In the span of just one day
What am I supposed to use to fill this hole
We were perfect and everything was right
My hope died with you
Then you slipped away into the night
My faith died with you
You left me alone
I wish I'd died with you
Now I have nothing left of you
Except cold chisled stone
And pictures from a better time
Graven Images
If you hadn't gone out that night
Everything would have turned out bright
I was waiting and pacing for you to arrive
But, you never made it back alive
We were perfect and everything was right
My hope died with you
Then you slipped away into the night
My faith died with you
You left me alone
I wish I'd died with you
Now I have nothing left of you
Except cold chisled stone
And pictures from a better time
Graven Images
We were happy and everything should have been alright
My hope died with you
Just living through this is an uphill fight
My faith died with you
You left me alone
I wish I'd died with you
I can't bare to see you
Underneath the stone
So I burn
I wish I'd died with you
And I burn
I wish I'd died with you
And I burn These Graven Images

I can see in the mirror.
Where it was that I went wrong.
But, every step forward leaves me two steps behind.
I'm not sure of much.
But I know I'm not so strong.
If I look inside myself, I'm afraid of what I may find.
So, tell me what the hell I'm supposed to say.
I'm Okay.
Don't try to fix me
Don't try to pick up the pieces
Just leave them lying on the ground
I'm Okay Broken
Don't ty to put me back together
Don't try to pick up the pieces
Just leave them lying on the ground
I'm Okay Broken
I'm broken, I'm broken
Don't try to pick up the pieces
I'm broken, I'm broken
Don't try to fix me
I'm broken, I'm broken
Don't try to pick up the pieces
Just leave them lying on the ground.
I'm okay broken.
I can try to fill my life.
And put on a happy face.
And self medicate until I'm numb.
It's not about what I've got.
It's more about what I'm not.
And like a puzzle with missing parts, The picture's not complete.
And, I'm not satisfied.
But, I'm okay.
I always try to do my best
But in the end, I make a mess

Last Night
05:24

She was a little mad, But aren't we all?
She said she wanted to jump but, I wanted to fall.
The flesh is willing but, not the spirit at all.
Then she gave me bump and told me to crawl.
Got on my hands a knees and said a little prayer.
She howled at the moon with a handful of hair.
With blood in her eyes she cried are you there?
She lifted her head, smiled and said
This could be the last night of our lives
And as I watched how she danced, I felt alive.
My drink almost gone, I checked the time.
She said, I don't want to go home, Can I come with you?
The night is still young. There's plenty to do.
So we got in a cab, And hit the town.
At memory Grove she started to frown.
I held out my hand. Penny for your thoughts.
With a tear in her eye she said
What if it's th e last night of our lives?
I woke to the rain and she laid there.
Just a song in her head and perfume on the air.
She caressed my cheek and started to stare.
She said she'd nowhere to go and she doesn't care.
I asked for her name and she just winked.
And I knew she'd vanish even if I'd blink.
But she said you and me. What do you think?
We can make every night.
The last night of our lives.

Beautiful Nightmare
04:15
|
|||
|
Here we are lying in blood stained sheets
My heart may explode from the way that it beats
I can't remember how we even got here
covered in satin and black lipstick smears
She looked me in the eye and said there's nothing to fear.
The sound of blood rushing is filling my ears
She kicked her head back with a sinister grin
And fought back a laugh as she sank her teeth in
Try not to fall asleep
keep your eyes open
You'll only wake up in a beautiful nightmare
I just can't get away
Can't stay away
I fell in love with a beautiful nightmare
She sought to control and I thought it was bliss
An infinite beauty with a serpent's kiss
I woke with her fingers wrapped in my hair
The sent of blood and perfume in the air
She looked me in the eye and whispered so sweet
"Hope is just a stop on the road to defeat"
I think I understand and I'm dying for you
Won't you die a little for me too?
Walking arm in arm and dressed to kill
It's too late to deny, the blood has spilled
She asked me "how'd you like a little fun?"
Horror and extasy all rolled into one.
What could I do but aquiese to her whim?
I'm in the deep end now. And it's sink or swim
I could try to get away. or try to quit.
Ah, fuck it. I'm a monster. I admit it.
Try not to fall asleep
keep your eyes open
You'll only wake up in a beautiful nightmare
I just can't get away
Can't stay away
I fell in love with a beautiful nightmare

Back From The Dead

Crawl out of my grave
Yes, I have risen
May the living be my slave
'Cos I have Risen
You can't believe your eyes
But I have risen
There's no heaven in the skies
so I'm back from the
Dead Yet still alive
Yes, I have risen
Looking for my bride
'Cos I have risen
Look into my eyes
I have risen
There's no heaven in the skies
so I'm back from the
Dead man walking
Dead ringer for the boy you used to know
Dead man stalking
At night be careful where you go
One little sound
And I see how high you jump
Don't be afraid
I'm just the things that go bump
Rise, rise, rise
you know what you have to do
Rise, rise, rise
Hello black skies
Rise, rise, rise
As the night crawls in, I'm coming fo you
Crawl out of my grave
Yes, I have risen
May the living be my slave
'Cos I have Risen
You can't believe your eyes
But I have risen
There's no heaven in the skies
so I'm back from the
Dead Yet still alive
Yes, I have risen
Looking for my bride
'Cos I have risen
Look into my eyes
I have risen
There's no heaven in the skies
so I'm back from the
I'll make you one of my kind
Sink my teeth and now you're mine

Haunted
07:54

Such beautiful terror
Horror never felt so good
With every creak and crack
I am looking over my shoulder
Psychological torture
With a forbidden taste
with every new surrender
Death with come with haste
We kiss with silent longing in a damned Embrace
We share our sighs in compliance
We tempt the hand of fate
And if the sun never shines again
Because we are together
I'll live in pleasure and darkness
And die for your touch
Let's savour every moment
As we yield to desire
'Cos all I want is you
And all you want is me
Haunted
Haunted by you
Haunted
Haunted by you
And my sins aren't forgiven
with sweat and saliva
We intertwine ourselves
Just wanting to feel a little death
We intertwine ourselves
Bewteen the light and the dark.
Between the living and the dead
And if the sun never shines again
Because we are together
I'll live in pleasure and darkness
And die for your touch
Let's savour every moment
As we yield to desire
'Cos all I want is you
And all you want is me

Nothing Left But Tears
05:26

Sometimes I cant Escape
All these Ghosts that haunt me
Circustance Determining fate
And all the pain that haunts me
You, with your precious eyes
And skin so white
Now the end is here
We fade into the night
There is nothing left of me here
Nothing left but tears
I don't know why I did it
And I'll never understand
The candles no longer lit
Now I have blood on my hands
You with your precious eyes
And pale skin so white
I know this is the end
We fade into the night
There is nothing left of me here
Nothing left but tears

Goodbye Ballerina Part 2

I'd die for your smile. One more time
Shining like a diamonds in the sky
This can't be real. Because I still feel
Dance in the sky my dear
Hush now, There's nothing left to fear
Light up the night my dear
If I close my eyes, You are still right here.
Goodbye Ballerina Goodbye
I always knew that heaven was missing an angel
But I never thought they'd get you back
Crying aloud. There are no more demons to quell
So dance, my angel. And shine. Your light cuts through the black
Dance in the sky my dear
Hush now, There's nothing left to fear
Light up the night my dear
If I close my eyes, You are still right here.
Goodbye Ballerina Goodbye

Scare Me To Death
04:08
|
|||
|
To stand alone
Your Ghost can't hide the pain inside
The words you say
They fall on ignorance
Amongst the Spirits of the dead
It's you and me
Tonight - Haunt me so I don't feel alone
Tonight - Scare me. Scare me
Scare me to death...
It's un-natural to feel like this
I remember when nights weren't so cold
When I had the means to carry on
I think its time to realise
My soul is yours and always has been
Tonight...

Talk In Your Sleep
05:00

Spilling all your secrets.
That you tried so hard to keep from me.
Open up your heart.
And tell me that we were never meant to be.
Give up all your lies.
And tell me how you really feel.
Lighting all the candles.
The light shines on all the truth you tried to kill.
Words are like daggers.
That deepen the cuts.
You're armed to the teeth and I never knew.
You turned me to dust.
And the wind blew me away.
Even though I told you I was here to stay.
Baby don't you know.
You told me all your secrets.
Now I can see in the dark.
Because you talk in your sleep.
You beg and you plead.
"Please honey, Don't let me go!"
There are no ears quite so deaf as mine.
Fool me once. Fool me twice. Fooled me too many times.
I can hear our song in my head.
As I watch you Walk, Walk, Walk, Walk away.
For just a moment I imagine asking you to stay.
"We're just Dumb enough for it to work."
Instead I turn on heel. And smoke another cigarette.
And just keep walking in the rain.

A Place Among The Dead
06:03

Where has all of the time gone?
The years pass like seconds
Dripping off the clock
I try to take a breath and slow things down
Staring death in the eye again
No explanations
No mistaking
The reaper has crossed me off the list
I try to find the right words
These could be my last words
It's so different now
It's all different now
So say goodbye - Goodbye for the last time
It's not a story. A tale that you've read
Say goodbye - Goodbye for the last time
We're going down down down
A place among the dead
With all things said and done
Is it better to reign in hell
After it all what have we become
Demons to some Angels to others
Will you waste the chance
That you've been given
Or will you wear your wounds with pride
Try to find the right words
These could be your last words
It's so different now
It's all different now
So say goodbye - Goodbye for the last time
It's not a story. A tale that you've read
Say goodbye - Goodbye for the last time
We're going down down down
A place among the dead

Our Day In The Sun
05:08

Once bitten
I cannot reconcile myself
It's written
Written in the blood of those who came before
You've damned us all
And cursed all of those who followed your call
By the bones of God.
I'll rid myself of this wretched misery
Let the light crawl in
Feel the warmth of the sun on my face
Let the light crawl in
Let the wind erase every trace
I'm going down and you're coming with me
Going up in flames
In the light of the morning
Dust is all that we will be
We'll have our day in the sun
Once haunted
Now cast aside from her
I've shuffled off this mortal coil
But not yet free
A form of flesh still driven by the night
No longer. I'll join my spectral love
So dance with me
One last dance before we burn
So dance with me
Once more. Once more until we burn
I'm going down and you're coming with me
Going up in flames
In the light of the morning
Dust is all that we will be
We'll have our day in the sun

Was it all just a dream? Am I going mad?
I could swear by the moon, I'd given all I had
I turned on the news and there was her face
10 Years ago. Vanished without a trace
If I see her again, I'll never let go
And we'll make everynight.
The last night of our lives.
