1. BEAT THE DEVIL'S TATTOO

You have forsaken all the love you’ve taken
Sleeping on a razor there’s nowhere left to fall
Your body’s aching every bone is breaking
Nothing seems to shake it it just keeps holding on
Ah ah ah ah

Your soul is able death is all you cradle
Sleeping on the nails there’s nowhere left to fall
You have admired every man desires
Everyone is king when there’s no one left to pawn
Ah ah ah ah

There is no peace here war is never cheap here
Love will never meet it it just gets sold for parts
You cannot fight it all the world denies it
Open up your eyelids and let your demons run
Ah ah ah

I thread the needle through you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through you beat the devil’s tattoo

I thread the needle through you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through you beat the devil’s tattoo

I thread the needle through you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through you beat the devil’s tattoo


2. CONSCIENCE KILLER

I’m a constant sinner
A conscience killer
I’m a righteous heartache, never gonna let you get close to mine
I’m a punk every time, give me a little room and I’ll spit in your eye

Cause it don’t mean all that much does it boy
We never really had a choice
No it don’t mean all that much to us boy
We never really had a choice
We’re conscience killers

I’m a red-blooded sickness
There was no way around it
I’m a fine line teaser, never been nothing but a cheater
I’m a son of the night, give a little room and I’ll spit in your eye

Cause it don’t mean all that much does it boy
We never really had a choice
No it don’t mean all that much to us boy
We never really had a choice
We’re conscience killers
Don’t want no conscience at all

I’m nails
I’m a knife
I’m a preacher with a gun, I’m a one man lie
I’m a king
I’m a ruse
I’m born again with no life to lose

Cause it don’t mean all that much does it boy
We never really had a choice
No it don’t mean all that much to us boy
We never really had a choice
We’re conscience killers
Don’t want no conscience at all


3. BAD BLOOD

Everything just falls away, just give it back into your arms
So many pieces fall away, just give ‘em back into your heart
I feel that one more day is gone, you may never see the dawn
But nothin’ ever stays the same, it’s fighting you at every turn

Like a door that never opens wide, you just get kicked until your heart’s bled dry
The road is gone but there’s a line you cross, and I don’t think you’ll stop

I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
With bad blood and feelings
Just bad blood and feelings
Bad blood and feelings

So many pieces fall away, just give ‘em back into your heart
So many people fall away, just let them go into the dark
And every night I stay away, the feelin’ running through my blood
But all I’ve got is faith and science, a line that will only blur

Like a door that never opens wide, you just get kicked until your heart’s bled dry
The road is gone but there’s a line you cross, and I don’t think you’ll stop

I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
With bad blood and feelings
Just bad blood and feelings
Bad blood and feelings

I’m not slave to a world I could never save, as the light just disintegrates in the final hour
You never felt you were so alive, and you thought it could never die,
Now you just look back and wonder why it could never be

I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
I could see it in your eyes and now it’s gone
With bad blood and feelings
Just bad blood and feelings
Just bad blood and feelings
Just bad blood and feelings
Bad blood and feelings


4. WAR MACHINE

You just turned so white
Never needed you so bad
There’s nothing left to disguise
You never wanted it so bad
You don’t need your soul
They’ll keep you high
I keep chasing your ghost
But it all keeps us comin’ back for a little while

You don’t look so good
But you smell like you would
You don’t seem so proud
In the cries and thunder
And now the ones you beg
They won’t kiss it away
I just need your hand
When it all keeps comin’ down for a little while

Yeah I called my friend the doctor just to keep your heart alive
He said I ain’t too good at healing but I’ll make you stand
I need just one more line
I need you to stand
And it all keeps comin’ out into the light

You never seemed so cruel
It’s just a question of time
We used a war machine
Now it burns out your spine
You don’t prove your worth
You just make it obscene
Yeah it ain’t no crime to blow your mind
If it feels to you like a never ending dream


5. SWEET FEELING

Don’t say it’s over so soon
We’ve tied to the day every wrong
We can wait in the shadows of mourning
But to wait just betrays what’s to come
There’s nothing, there’s no one, no cause
And still we believed in it all

The sweet feeling’s gone
The sweet feeling’s gone

So they say with a pause
It’s just moving on
But I can’t see
No I can’t see
No I can’t see it at all

So they say with a pause
It’s just moving on
But I can’t see
No I can’t see it at all

The sweet feeling’s gone
The sweet feeling’s gone

So we say with a pause
We’re just moving on
But I can’t see
No I can’t see
No I can’t see it at all

The sweet feeling’s gone
The sweet feeling’s gone with you


6. EVOL

I'm waiting for you to say
The words to make me stay
As you're walking out the door
My heart steps on the floor
I never dreamed it'd be
You make me feel so free
Waiting for you to say
The words to make me stay
As you're walking out the door
My heart steps on the floor
I never dreamed it'd be
You make me feel so free

It sure feels like love again
I wanna feel again
It sure feels like love again
I wanna feel again

I'm waiting for you to say
The words to let me stay
Standing here alone
I should have never shown
I never should have dreamed
The feelings that are free

It sure feels like love again
I wanna feel love again
It sure feels like love again
I wanna feel love again

I'm waiting for you to say
The words to let me stay
Standing here alone
I never should have shown
I never was the one
To leave it so undone

It sure feels like love again
I wanna feel again
It sure feels like love again
I wanna feel


7. MAMA TAUGHT ME BETTER

Can you scream the words I could never hear
Can you feel the silence begin to tear
But it just takes so much to make it real that it hardly matters
And if you could see inside yourself your world would shatter

My mama taught me better than that, don’t play with angels
If my lost soul could be given back it would be fatal

Can you see a world you have never felt
When you sleep the nightmare becomes yourself
But it just takes so much to make you sick when your heart’s a bullet
But if you could fill some lead in me you would pass through it

My Mama taught me better than that, don’t play with angels
If my lost soul could be given back it would be fatal

Your soul keeps liftin’ away
My world keeps turnin’
And it brings me down, yeah it brings me down
Oh you’re so afflicted
Your love keeps burnin’
But it brings me down, yeah it brings me down

Can you scream the words I could never hear
When you speak the silence begins to tear
But it just takes so much to make you sick when your heart’s a bullet
But if you could reach the edge in me, you won’t break through it

My mama taught me better than that, don’t play with angels
If my lost soul could be given back it would be fatal


8. RIVER STYX

Will you lay me down, will you lay me down
Will you lay me down inside heavens walls, where every soul is a setting sun

Will you take my hand, will you take my hand
Will you take my hand down to the waters edge, where every sin has been washed away

But I can’t run if I can’t walk
And I won’t love if I can’t stop
Every minute the pressure drops
From your first breath ‘til your heart stops

Will you let them pass, will you let them pass
Will you let them pass across this killing floor, where every shadow is cast in stone

But I can’t run if I can’t walk
And I won’t love if I can’t stop
Every minute the pressure drops
From your first breath ‘til your heart stops

Carry me, carry me
But you take, take, it’s never enough
You just take, take, it’s never enough
You just take, take, every part of me, all of me


9. THE TOLL

I’d never known her to cry
But this time is different for sure
She’s shaking with tears in her eyes
As she picks up what’s left of the night
The hope for a reason seemed pure
As we leave what’s left on the wall

But oh how it’s taken its toll
Oh how it’s taken its toll
Everything’s taken its toll
Everything’s taken its toll

There was more then a break in the smiles
They rose and slowly they tired
As she turned and the moments were made
There were none that could prove where she lay
There’s a calm in the stories now told
And the distance will always be home

And oh how it’s taken its toll
Oh how it’s taken its toll
Everything’s taken its toll
Everything’s taken its toll

Everything’s taken its toll
It’s a moment we carry alone
With a cause there’s a cure for the soul
But oh how it’s taken its toll
Oh how it’s taken its toll


10. AYA

She’s a reckless lover with blood stained hands
‘round the neck of her, helpless man
She’s the midnight silence, an outbound train
She’s the glory of fallen names

Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore
Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore

She’s a patient killer, a timeless hand
The choke of the falling sands
She’s a proven saint with a witches tongue
The gods of war at her command

Sweet Aya bring it on, I wanna kiss you till they’re gone
Sweet Aya bring it on, I wanna kiss you till they’re gone
Till they’re all gone

Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore
Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore

She’s the broken shadows on the fallen walls
With no master there’s no call
She’s the faithful silence that visits all
With no mercy, no remorse

Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore
Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore

Sweet Aya bring it on, I wanna kiss you till they’re gone
Sweet Aya bring it on, I wanna kiss you till they’re gone
Till they’re all gone

Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore
Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore
Aya, Aya, we’re alone and there’s no room here anymore
Aya, Aya, we’re alone


11. SHADOW'S KEEPER

The shadow’s creepin’, only one way left to go
You hit the bottom where the silence only grows
It’s never alone

You feel the fire burnin’ sweet within your skin
You’re holding on to all the branches crashin’ in
It’s pulling you in

But you feel the light shine so bright
But you feel the light shine so bright

What is the purpose if you feel so incomplete
What is the reason if it beats you to your knees
What do you keep

Your eyes were wide but there’s a world that keeps you blind
A painted serpent turning water into wine
Seekin’ light

But you feel the light shine so bright
But you feel the light shine so bright

You’re beggin’ for the truth but now you’ve seen too much
You’re livin in your head but never feel their touch
And everything was buried by the deep blue sky
Help me to breathe ‘cause I don’t wanna see the light
Just tell me to breathe ‘cause I don’t wanna be denied
Just tell me to breathe ‘cause I don’t wanna be denied

Catch on fire
Catch on fire
Catch on fire
Catch on fire


12. LONG WAY DOWN

Don’t you try to explain all the words that you’ve made for love
But you can’t even pray ‘cause the words make you frail and hollow
Don’t you cry to yourself just to feel like someone who’s hit bottom
But you can’t run away ‘cause the hole that remains will follow

Don’t you care just enough
Don’t you feel your heart stop
But you can’t know what you want
But what matters now is enough

It’s a long, a long way down on your own
It’s a long, a long way out
It’s a long, a long way down on your own
It’s a long, a long way out

Don’t you sleep in the day just to dream it away for good
But I know you’re afraid ‘cause the best that you gave was not enough

Don’t you care just enough
Don’t you feel your heart stop
But you can’t know what you want
But what matters now is enough

It’s a long, a long way down on your own
It’s a long, a long way out
It’s a long, a long way down on your own
It’s a long, a long way out


13. HALF-STATE

We were close but we never made it home
We could see what we had and we let it go
Now it’s miles away and cast in stone
Now we’re miles away and casting stones

There’s a fire, there’s a fire on the road
It’s a cruel world that lets us go

It’s a place we can never call our own
It’s a falling wind that calls our souls
It’s a cruel world that lets us go
It’s a cruel world that lets us go

It’s a fool alone that carries gold
He’ll find his own when he finds alone
Now it’s miles away and cast in stone
Now he’s miles away and casting stones

There’s a fire there’s a fire on the road
It’s a cruel world that lets us go

It’s a place we can never call our own
It’s a falling wind that calls our souls
It’s a cruel world that lets us go
It’s a cruel world that lets us go

So where are they now to let us know
So where are they now to let us know
So where are they now to let me know

Falling through what’s left of the fractions
Waking up the silence passing
Holding on to something you can’t lose
Waiting for a sign of passion

I’m gonna catch them, I’m gonna catch them, never let go
I’m gonna catch them, I’m gonna catch them, never let go

Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now?
