Dig Her Up
02:59
|
|||
I felt the urge in the pale moonlight
I couldn't sleep that lonely night
No living girl would ever satisfy
Like the dead that I desire
It's time to dig her up
'cause I can't give her up
Out in the grave I tried to find
The little sex that marks the spot
Her touch is cold yet the love is golden
You're the one I still desire
It's time to dig her up
'cause I can't give her up
Forever since the day she passed
I could never find my way
But my love ain't far, not far at all
I'm headed for the grave
So I'll share a kiss with my morbid bliss
Then I'll finally find my way
But my love ain't far, not far at all
I'm headed for the grave

Sing Alone
03:29
|

Born through the light when I was young
Whether or not I would succumb
I guess early on my soul was spun
Through eerie things unknown
And I remember the nights when they would come
Yeah, the shadows would sing through slithering tongues
Saying, child there is no need to run
Don't wind up on your own
They will follow me down to the grave
They will follow me down to the grave
As they sang in the night I will sing another day
They will follow me down to the grave
The Devil's gonna catch me hiding under that stone
Way down in a hole on my way home
And to echoes delight I might join in song
But I'd rather sing alone
They will follow me down to the grave
They will follow me down to the grave
As they sang in the night I will sing another day
They will follow me down to the grave
I was born through the light when I was young
Now I sing a verse through a withering lung
And way back to the night that song was sung
Hell, I'd rather sing alone
But I'll never sing alone

There are men though few are righteous
All of us could find the light but
We have gone so rotten in our skin
Out of luck for the dark has hexed us
Raising hell in the heart of Texas
There's a crooked smile in my grin
I mean no wrong and I mean no right
But I'm dwelling in the night my friend
We ain't no good
We ain't no bad
But sure ain't no good
We are the grim
Every man has a story
And every preacher has a hymn
But I don't sing for the glory
I just want your screams
And to haunt your dreams
Just want your screams
We ain't no good
We ain't no bad
But sure ain't no good
We are the grim
Ghastly things fall in my likeness
Horror, death and screams are priceless
We have gone so rotten in our skin
Out of luck for the dark has hexed us
Raising hell in the heart of Texas
There's a crooked smile in my grin
I mean no wrong and I mean no right
But I'm dwelling in the night my friend

Brew-jeria
03:36
|
|||
Can't break this temptation
Nevermore like once in my sober past
I was mistaken her intentions
As she passed me the glass
One after the other I fell deep into her trance
She vanished from the bar upon my thirteenth empty glass
Drinking up the curse
(Brew-jeria) memories start to burn
Drinking up the curse
(Swallow it down) my world it starts to turn
One after the other I fell deep into her trance
She vanished from the bar upon my thirteenth empty glass
Oh, I been so lonesome
Oh, my liquid friend
Oh, damn my addiction
Then everything starts fading away
Can't remember past yesterday
And never again will I be a sober man
'cause the voice in my head
Is whispering for me to drink until I die
My liver is rotting away
Unto me she beholds her brew
Her brew-jeria
One after the other I fell deep into her trance
She vanished from the bar upon my thirteenth empty glass

Jackal Spirit
04:46
|
|||
I feel a trembling
Underneath my skin
Last night I dreamt I had a thirst for blood
Tore through the flesh of men
Blood and saliva
Were dripping from my fangs
And when I awoke I realized my crimes
What have I become
Well I pray they win for all the best
They've heard my call from east to west
I'll feel this hunger rage again
As this ancient curse it howls
They speak of what they've witnessed
That a devil is in their land
A prowler is in the darkness
And I'm a wanted man
I've terrorized the village
The blood is on my hands
I've devoured men and women
I was captive in their bounty but the wolf inside was bound
Then I took a load of buckshot, no they couldn't bring me down
But when the silver strikes my veins will I be free again
Will this jackal spirit flee outside of me
When the silver strikes my veins will I be free again
Will this jackal spirit flee outside of me

To the Gallows
03:16
|
|||
In the woods do they gather
And to whom do they roam
Have you danced with the Devil
Hell, well I should've known
To the gallows
I can see it in her eyes
To the gallows
And the blood will never run dry
In the name of God
I condemn you to hell
In the depths of the water
Will she sink, will she float
Is there blood on the dagger
Hell, well I should've known
To the gallows
Where the souls forever cry
To the gallows
And the blood will never run dry
In the name of God
I condemn you to hell
Now we gather here today
Your sentence leads to death
So take your last breath and repent
Or save your words for the fire
And now we gather here today
Your deeds are soon to test
So take your last breath and repent
Or save your words for the fire
There's a place I haunt
And I'll call out for you
Everything I lost
Shall burn down with you
Every day and night we stalk the streets of Salem and all
The places we were martyrized while you were in the wrong
And I may bleed and die but your ropes and fire will damn you all the same
Remember all the victims lost while you were playing God
When the night is cold then you will know
The blood has not ran dry
You'll hear our cry deep in the night
From the gallows where we died

Ghost Town
03:46
|
|||
At the moment I passed
I arrived in the land
Where shadows black the horizon
No sign of light in my path
Now alone and abandoned
By all the ones that I've known
Will I be damned here forever
As my name in the stone
Now as I curse aloud to the blackened clouds
An echo grows through the town
I've cried for help, gotta leave this hell
No one's left around
Now I've arrived
In the ghost town
Now I wander far, I wander wide
No longer hope to be found
No paradise, no land of fire
I'm nowhere bound
Now I've arrived
In the ghost town

Drunkard's Prayer
04:06
|
|||
I lay staring at the ceiling
As the walls start to spin
I don't remember when it began
But I know that it won't end
'cause there's the sun on the horizon
What a day to drink again
Oh, not a day to have an empty glass
Forgive me Lord, I'm a drunkard
Been so damn long since I've been sober
Hear my words despite the slurring in my prayer
Forgive me Lord, I'm drowning under
How this life is bittersweet
After a whiskey straight and a pint of ale
But I've got the feeling
I'll soon be needing some water
Lord make it wine, I'm a drunkard
I'll drink myself to the bottom
What a task of wretchedness
And I've lost count of all the bottles
Not a day to have an empty glass
Forgive me Lord, I'm a drunkard
Been so damn long since I've been sober
Hear my words despite the slurring in my prayer
Forgive me Lord, I'm drowning under

Burning Down
03:04
|
|||
Tonight I took a look around
And I could see tomorrow
And I've been told where we are bound
But I won't settle down
Come on and have another round
A thick smoke fills the air now
We're all burning down beneath the ground
Lord be with me and my brothers
In this dark time like no other
There's just one place I once called my own
And it's burning down
Yeah, it's burning down
With that Devil down
I am lost but I have found
The bitter taste of sorrow
Although I know where we are bound
I can't lay that bottle down (I can't lay that bottle down)
Bourbon whiskey all around
Toast your feet upon the fire now
We're all burning down beneath the ground
Church bells are ringing
But our heads still hang low
So tonight we'll burn it on down
Back to the bar room I told the boys then
Where we let it all go
So tonight we'll burn it on down
While church bells are ringing
Our heads still hang low
So tonight we'll burn it on down

I woke upon the terror of apocalyptic dreams
Where the saints of which you prayed were tumbling down
All failed below cathedrals where they couldn't seem to free
Bearing holy loads of wine they tumbled down
I'd like to feel the fire cleanse me to the bone
I'd like to see empire fall before the throne
