We stand for the revolution,
and you sit with your folder arms
Well, we've all bled out too far
*Take the killer's "love me" *
Pardon me with the crucifixion,
I tried it once, but now i'm resistant
we never meant you harm
*Take the killer's "love me" *
We light it up for a world of emotion
Pop it in, Pop it in when you've got the devotion
Rack it up, break it down, there's enough to go around
The I.V. in, plug me in, send the poison right on down
Yeah send the poison right on down
My mind's made up.
They're gonna kill us, time to break out the spears
My God! The children cry and the world's in tears
We've all bled out too far.
*Take the killer's "love me" *
Pardon me with the crucifixion,
I tried it once, but now i'm resistant
we never meant you harm
*Take the killer's "love me" *
We light it up for a world of emotion
Pop it in, Pop it in when you've got the devotion
Rack it up, break it down, there's enough to go around
The I.V. in, plug me in, send the poison right on down
Yeah send the poison right on down
My mind's made up.
You can't teach me something I already know
You can't tell me something I already know
You can't force me, something I already know

Popping pills over expiration
I wouldn't have it any other way
Gotta Clear my head of attention
Help me...
Kiss me lover, like no other
They're gonna take me away
and Mother says she's OK
Another psycho parade
(help me)
I don't need nothin
(save me)
I don't need saving
They're still gonna take me away
We don't look too far
into the future
My mind doesn't reach that far,
Blame it on the teachers
I gotta straight jacked and a reputation
They held me down and told me not to pray
Give me something to relieve the tension
Help me
Kiss me lover, like no other
I'm being taken away
and Mother says she won't pay
Another psycho parade
(help me)
I don't need nothin
(save me)
I don't need saving
They're still gonna take me away
We don't look too far
into the future
My mind doesn't reach that far,
Blame it on the teachers
and my lies never looked so dark
blame it on the preachers
Getting higher than heaven
These walls are my friends
Be my friend
Be my friend
Be my friend til the end
I put the blame on everyone else
but myself

She's too cool to catch me
Running around,
When broken glass and bottles is all she really needs
They're too proud to please me
They're wiping their mouths they should be
sucking those that think they have it down
We take pleasure in making you give up
Down on your knees
*don't give up*
It don't matter the songs you can sing us
We've heard them all before
*and on and on and on*
You get back, when you put out
The devil's aching for you
but i'm the on that you have to please
We take pleasure in making you give up
Down on your knees
*we don't give a fuck*
It don't matter the songs you can sing us
We've heard them all before
*and on and on and on*
I will
Make you mine
After I make you...

They're rolling in their graves I'm a,
Little drunk and I won't be saved I got,
Four rounds and a bottle of jack
but I only saved one.
I only need one.
Suicide what a beautiful place its just
Me choking on my stupid mistakes
Laying down with a gun in my bed
Anything to get you out of my head
Mother lover and her bastard son
are screaming down the hall
Begging me to save them
as if I really cared at all
Their graves are where they're safe
From me and the devil's final plague
Three rounds and a bottle of jack
but I only saved one.
I only need one.
Once you're down you've been reclaimed
No use in bargaining with me
Here's your chance to meet the lord
Be sure to put in a good word.
Traveling the sewers not my idea of fun
Gutting my sisters friend is not how I had in mind
Ripping tearing blood and swearing
Share the same idea
Praying saving outward caring are useless
1 2 3 Shots left
3 2 Rounds in the chamber
Here comes 1
Would they tell us that we'd never survive
If the dead could talk again
Would they tell us what its like to die
If the dead could be my friend
Whats the difference if we're dead inside
I might be taking aim
Had I known I'd make my father cry
Out of spite and out of mind
One bullet for your memory,
Two shots and I'm back up on my feet,
To smart to chalk it up,
I'm to fucking drunk
1 2 3 Shots left
I got 3 2 Rounds in the chamber
1 2 3 Shots left
I got 3 2 Rounds in the chamber
Here comes 1
Would they tell us that we'd never survive
If the dead could talk again
Would they tell us what its like to die
If the dead could be my friend
Whats the difference if we're dead inside
Well I might be taking aim
Had I known I'd make my father cry
Out of spite and out of mind
Fear doesn't need a wink of sleep,
Creeps up and down these winding streets,
God laughs when you're on the run,
but he doesn't know that I'm having some fun,
Crawling up in a liquor store to dry the devils eyes
Smoke a couple of cigarettes to clear my sense of pride
No sinning in killing women
Children most of all
Loving, trusting, killing and suffering are useless,
Love to place my bets and I'm
Free to see whats next

What keeps you here my child?
Take my hand, I'll be your guide
Flowing gently close behind
We shall be defined.
Our last goodbyes never found
Now we're Spectres of the night
fallen angels you and I
We're searching for life, but no one's there
Alone and Scared
What are we now, cannibals of love?
Feeding on the flesh and bone of each other?
Never been this far away from the Father
No silver for our cover
What are we now, cannibals of love?
Feeding on the flesh and bone of each other?
No traces of our races, new places, and no faces
God please help us now
Lord get me out
Chaaron:
Hello
Hello
Are you out there?
I've been waiting for you.
Hurry now, you hold us back.
I'm the only way through.
Drop the jewels from your mouth my friend,
Don't be the first to lose
Wasting my new life
Just waiting for your call
Been deranged by time
I'm just waiting
Listening
Now I see a world in front of me
Mist clears all the shadows and disbeliefs
Found my way out, nothing more to be said
He'll soon be dead.
I grabbed his hand, no smile from me
I caught his eye, my knife unleashed
My blade goes swiftly in
Commit my final sin.
Wading through the tide
His vessel now my own
With romance left aside
and I'm done with dreaming
One thousand faces glow in the night
Protruding limbs ripping at my side
Jealousy sinks the eyes of the dead
until they're fed
The vision fades
Like fallen leaves
My heart grows cold
and hair recedes
The shore comes into
Just another attractive reverie
Can't be.
That my intentions are not true
To Cheat the Ferryman
With Hell between my toes
and completion in my head
Well i'm lost where no one knows
and the voices are me
No more fooling around
I'm lost and always found
and the forces keep me bound
Well I can't get on the ground
My life's undone
Like a setting sun
Chained to my feet
Is my destiny
My life's undone
Like a setting sun
Chained to my feet
Is my destiny
