Well they say that we are tragic
And they say we're born to lose
You're the misfit, I'm the sinner
You're the heathen, I'm the fool

But today you'll be the master or the slave
It's up to you
Oh, my beautiful disaster
Take me any way you choose

Don't fight it
Ignite it
This much I'm sure

I think it's time to set this world on fire
I think it's time to push it to the edge
Burn it to the ground and trip the wire
It may never be this good again

It's like a new religion
Speak in tongues
Come see the light
Do not trip on inhibitions
That will only waste my time

Let me tempt you with the evils
Of the flesh and so much more
Like a Babylon redeemer
Like a pusher, like a whore

Just try it, you'll like it
I'll give you more

I think it's time to set this world on fire
I think it's time to push it to the edge
Burn it to the ground and trip the wire
It may never be this good again

It's so dark, I can't see
All the truth inside us
All I want is to feel something
That's real before the end

Close the door
Turn the key
Do you like what you see?
Kill the lights
Come to me
Set it off tonight
Baby, just like fire and gasoline

I think it's time to set this world on fire
I think it's time to push it to the edge
I'm so fucking bored, so trip the wire
It may never be this good again

Just trip the wire
This world's on fire
Just trip the wire

It may never be this good again

A shadow life
Will only break your heart
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark

I know you're living in a shadow life
Better watch your step
Should you stumble
You're gonna fall

Cause dirty secrets are the killing kind
Rope around your neck
It's a wonder you breathe at all

You turn a blind eye and I hold on
You're a fool, will it ever change?
Why can't you ever see?

The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark

I can feel it when you're under me
There is something else
There is something I can't let go

Never silence to the misery
Feel it in your sex
Every time that we're all alone
And still you just deny it all
But I can't take this anymore
But I can't turn away

The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark

It's coming
It's coming
It haunts us and tears us apart

Just like a shadow in the dark
You're a shadow in the dark

The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark

I feel it when you're under me
There's a dirt secret to this misery, yeah

The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like a shadow in the dark

You're a shadow in the dark

My baby's high
She's in overdrive
She's a fiend out on the floor
She's a shot of pain
She's a drop dead paramour

She comes around and she turns it out
Her disease I can't ignore
Puts it to the red like I've never seen before

But it's alright
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive
Rolling all night
Never slowing down 'til she sees the light

She always says she's sick and tired
Of the pressure and the pain
Bearing down on her like a ten ton suicide
How many times I tell her
If she keeps running at this pace
She'll be long run out before she can ever reach the line

But it's alright
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive
Rolling all night
Never slowing down 'til she sees the light

She's runnin' free
She's runnin' hot
That's all she needs to reach the top
She's so obscene
She's all I've got
My motor queen don't ever stop
Oh I wanna do it again

Cause it's alright
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive
Rolling all night
Never slowing down 'til she sees the light

But it's alright
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive
Rolling all night
Never slowing down 'til she sees the light

But it's alright
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive
Rolling all night
She ain't slowing down til she scores tonight

Last night in paradise
I can feel it down in my bones
Left the good lord behind
Now I die on the vine
Waiting for my redemption song

I am never safe
Just a walking bomb
In a midnight rage
Then I'm gone

I'm getting off this wicked stone
Cause I can't see
And I can not deny that all I want is lost
No I can't face another night on this wicked stone

I roll and tumble down
And I curse 'til the morning light
From the mountain I fell to the depths of a hell
I was destined and born to find

Once a rolling stone
Now a falling star
Was so close to home
Now so far

I'm getting off this wicked stone
Cause I can't see
And I can not deny that all I want is lost
No I can't face another night on this wicked stone

You might say I'm good for nothing
And I might say that you are right
Can I crawl away from this ball and chain?
It's got me tethered to a world of pain
I'm digging my own grave this time
On this wicked stone tonight

I'm getting off this wicked stone
Cause I can't see
And I can not deny that all I want is lost
No I can't face another night on this wicked stone

So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For what could be your destiny
You never know

I never meant to be here
I never even tried
But I tell you now when you're lost and down
You'll come to trouble in time
It was a cold December
A Rip City night
In a steel-toed rage, made a big mistake
Now I'll be doing time

I was running with the order
I was running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna die

Serving 30 years to life
What I did, I can't deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade
I remember it so well
The night I sent that boy to Hell
Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways

They sent me on a mission
Out to earn my stripes
Should've known damn well when the curb stomp fell
Things would never be right

I was running with the order
I was running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I don't wanna be here
I'm really not surprised

Serving 30 years to life
What I did, I can't deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade
I remember it so well
The night I sent that boy to Hell
Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways

'Cause now I know, now I know
I was wrong and I can't let this go
I know, now I know
I am sorry, what a wretched soul
Oh, what a big mistake

Now I'm growing old
18 years with more to go
I waste away in this cage
I'm all alone
That's how the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For what could be your destiny
You'll never know

'Cause when you're running with the order
You're only running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I didn't wanna be here
I don't wanna die

Serving 30 years to life
What I did, I can't deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade
My regret, I know it well
But it's too late to save myself
Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways

So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For the sorrow in my heart will never fade
So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
Yes, I'm sorry for the error of my ways

Mama don't you cry
Don't you worry
I can not stay here any longer
The time has come to find a distant calling
That only seems to get much stronger
And I know it's hard
To see the one you've come to lean on make his way
Far beyond the womb
But I can't stay

I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama I'm bent to fly

Remember yesterday
Before the storm
Before the innocence was lost
I promised I would stay forever more
But every boy, in time, moves on
Your wounds will heal some day
This I know
But I am restless and so torn
Mama I can't stay here anymore

I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama I'm bent to fly

I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
Gotta say my last goodbye
Mama I'm bent to fly

Mama don't you cry
Don't you worry
I can not stay here any longer

I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama I'm bent to fly

Mama I'm bent to fly

I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
I gotta say my last goodbye

Stone blind
In the dark
Vision of beauty with an ugly heart
Stone blind to everything about her
Oh yeah!

She pulled the wool over my eyes
Put the last nail in my coffin and robbed me blind
It's the truth, I can't deny
Only feeds off good intentions
Has you beg for second sights

She's got me stone blind
In the dark
Vision of beauty with an ugly heart
Stone blind to everything about her

She always comes on way too strong
And the world fills up with fire
Man, she's gone
My double-talking debutante
In a hustle she will own you
'Til she gets all that she wants

She's got me stone blind
In the dark
Vision of beauty with an ugly heart
Stone blind to everything about her

She's such a wicked thing
And though I've seen it all before
I'm in the dark again
The woman's gone away

She's got me stone blind
In the dark
Vision of beauty with an ugly heart
Stone blind to everything about her
About her

She's got me stone blind
In the dark
Vision of beauty with an ugly heart
Stone blind to everything about her

Stone blind
She pulled the wool over my eyes
Stone blind
She shot me down and robbed me blind
Stone blind
And now I'm begging her for second sights

She's got me stone blind

A kingdom lost, a ransom paid
A dying wish, you got your way
Your foolish pride, a bitter rage
Brought to dust and laid to waste
Your empire lost with nothing gained
How could you let it fall?

Now it's all been decided
There is nothing you can do
You're too far gone
But it's always the same old song
There ain't nothing left to prove
You're too far gone

Burn your bridges to the ground
Throw your tantrums, scream out loud
Play the martyr, play the fool
Tell the world it wasn't you
Who pulled the trigger in the end
Like you know you always do

Now it's all been decided
There is nothing you can do
You're too far gone
But it's always the same old song
There ain't nothing left to prove
You're too far gone

Now it's all been decided
There is nothing you can do
You're too far gone
But it's always the same old song
There ain't nothing left to prove
You're too far gone

You're too far gone

It was a blood red summer
One I can't forget
When you took the one thing
All in this world I had left

For I will remember
Until the end of time
If it takes forever
Retribution will be mine
This I know
In the end
But I wanted you to know that I won't forget
No

In the fields you hear us crying
For the ones we lost and loved
Underneath the savage sun

How many killing seasons can you justify?
How many dead and bleeding
Only for an ivory lie?
Was it for the money?
Or was it for the thrill?
If I could have my way
Yours would be the blood I'd spill
But I won't
Not today
'Cause revenge is best served cold
This I know
So I'll wait

In the fields you hear us crying
For the ones we lost and loved
Cause the evil never stops, and we keep dying
Underneath the savage sun
Underneath the savage sun

How many bleeding and how many die?
All for the greed of an ivory lie
When will they see what they've done isn't right?
Blood that they spill can not be justified
How many bleeding and how many die?
Blood that they spill can not be justified

This I know
In the end
But I wanted you to know that I won't forget, no

In the fields you hear us crying
For the ones we lost and loved
Cause the evil never stops, and we keep dying
Underneath the savage sun
Underneath the savage sun

You are the clown for what you are
You had to break out every trick you can pull
But there comes a time when everything must turn off
Back to the start again
Back to the place where you come from

Stuck out of view
My withered Delilah
You know it's true that no one cares anymore
Stuck out of view
You had your time and
Now your moment is all but gone
Oh it's gone

Lost in a daze
What have you done?
Digging a grave to be your own
You're soon to fade
But just too blind to let go
Of what you had and what you were
Irrelevance hurts but you're not alone

Stuck out of view
My withered Delilah
You know it's true that no one cares anymore
Stuck out of view
You had your time and
Now your moment is all but gone

So pack your diamond rings
All your pretty things
And just move along
Cause there's always somebody else to replace you
When you are gone

Stuck out of view
My withered Delilah
You know it's true that no one cares anymore
Stuck out of view
You had your time and
Now your moment is all but gone

Stuck out of view
My withered Delilah
You know it's true that no one cares anymore
Stuck out of view
You had your time and
Now the moment is all but gone

The moment is all but gone
The moment is all but gone
Oh, it's gone

One more shot across the bow
One more bullet through the heart
You got me bleeding on the ground
I got you wounded in the dark
Why do we always take this way too far?

Surrender tonight this time
Save tomorrow
Mama, don't you let me down
This broken alliance leaves me so hollow
And wondering how did the bed that we made
Become a battleground?

Well the damage has been done
I know you hurt, so don't pretend
Where we're used to making love
Mow we're making war instead

Before it's too late
Lay your arms down
Let me in

Surrender tonight this time
Save tomorrow
Mama, don't you let me down
This broken alliance leaves me so hollow
And wondering how did the bed that we made
Become a battleground?

Just hold your fire
Long enough to see
This ain't how it's supposed to be

Once all that we've got is lost
The walls will fall
Please don't let them fall on me

I wanna lay you down
Surrender all the sorrow
The sorrow
Wanna lay you down
Surrender 'til it's gone

I wanna lay you down
Surrender 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow
Wanna lay you down
Surrender 'til it's gone

Just surrender 'til it's gone
Just surrender 'til it's gone

I don't wanna fight no more
I can feel it all there
I want to tell you right just then and there

I don't wanna fight this battle anymore

I can't wait to see it
You just won't believe it
The things she does

There may never be two ways about it
Everything she do just turns me on
Anything I need, she gonna find it
And put it where I know it don't belong

She gonna go all night
She does like it when you take it real slow
Online, my dirty girl
She make me feel alright, yeah
She runs clean until the lights are down low
Say online, my dirty girl

I can't wait to see it
You just won't believe it
The things she does

Anything you like, she's gonna show it
From behind a pix elated view
Drop another dime, she will expose it
And do the things that no one else will do

She gonna go all night
She does like it when you take it real slow
Online, my dirty girl
She make me feel alright, yeah
She runs clean until the lights are down low
Say online, my dirty girl

My dirty girl
She gets the best of me
But I keep coming back for more, yeah

She come with electric lovers
She got me winded, got me losing control
She come like there ain't no other
Say I-I-I don't wanna let it go

She come like a distant lover
She got me feeling whatever I want
She come like there ain't no other
Say I-I-I don't wanna let it go

My dirty girl's online again

All night
She does like it when you take it real slow
Online, my dirty girl
She make me feel alright, yeah
She runs clean until the lights are down low
Say online, my dirty girl
My dirty girl

I can't wait to see it
You just won't believe it
The things she does
But she ain't free, so when you own it
You better not own it too long

I wanna sail into the calm
Where skies are blue and never gone
But the rain keeps coming down
Tell me, will it ever stop?
These waters raise but I stay strong

Into the iris of the storm
Rise and fall with the tide
Carry on

Sometimes it's hard to find my place
To face the fears that all must face
But I keep on holding on
I won't let this take me down
I'll risk it all to find my way

Into the iris of the storm
Rise and fall with the tide
Carry on

Cause there will come a day
I know it won't be long
I'm gonna prove to the world
That I belong

No more hurting
Skies are breaking
The tide is turning
I can feel it changing

Into the iris of the storm
Rise and fall with the tide
Carry on

Into the iris of the storm
Show the world that I was right all along

Through the miles
I can not escape
My fate I know will come in time
With my back to the wind
I cheat it again with a smile

Forged in blood
Billowing up
The truth I can not speak
But I made it back one last time

Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone

Tales untold
Never to know
Unspeakable until the end
All these mysteries
I'll never speak of again

But, my love
I hope you believe
Now I'm gonna give you every part of me
I am home

Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone
But please keep holdin' on

Stay tonight
I need your love
Don't say goodbye
My sweet Avalon

Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone

My sweet Avalon
It's been way too long
Avalon
It's been way too long
Avalon

And it's not that I'm afraid to die
I stand up for my own
There are some things that I can't deny
Deep within my soul

Don't believe at all
In what we're fighting for
And I can see that we were wrong

And all the bombs keep fallin'
In the dead of the night
I'm singin' whoa oh oh
I guess I never stopped believing that love can survive
I'm singin' whoa oh oh

Father said it's time to be a man
To serve for what you know
But my father does not understand
My conscience won't let go

Don't believe at all
In what we're dying for
Now I can see that we were wrong

And all the bombs keep fallin'
In the dead of the night
I'm singin' whoa oh oh
I guess I never stopped believing that love's still alive
I'm singin' whoa oh oh

Wanna turn away
Wanna turn and walk away
Just leave it all
'Cause it's not a place
No, it's not a place to stay

And all the bombs keep fallin'
In the dead of the night
I'm singin'
Whoa oh oh oh
I guess I never stopped believing that love can survive
I'm singin'
Oh oh oh oh

And all the bombs keep fallin'
In the dead of the night
I'm singin' whoa oh oh
I guess I never stopped believing that love's still alive
I'm singin' whoa oh oh

I'm not afraid to die
I stand for my own
But I can't deny
That we are so wrong

[Instrumental]

Evil shadows, they are falling
And the misty-eyed are calling
To a god so far
People, troubled times are coming
Still you wonder why I'm running
I will take no part

I know it was you this time
I know it was you this time (evil)
I've seen with my own two eyes
You lied
You lied

Unholy, so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes until the end of time
Oh why
It's you that should be crucified

Echoes of your true intentions
Well I guess you failed to mention
What was in your heart
Now I see it all so clearly
What you did to them has nearly
Torn us all apart

I know it was you this time
I know it was you this time (evil)
Took them like a sacrifice
You lied
You lied

Unholy, so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes until the end of time
Oh why
It's you that should be crucified

You say on your knees if you don't believe now
Don't question a thing at all
Just receive what you're meant to see
Now fall on your knees

Evil shadows, they are falling
And the misty-eyed are calling
You will break their hearts

Unholy, so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes until the end of time
Oh why
It's you that should be crucified

The broken, how they cry
They only gave you heart and mind
How can you justify
They loved you
Oh father, don't deny
You took them like a sacrifice
We finally know the truth about you

You're unholy
So vile
How can you justify
Oh my, how they loved you
Concealing your crimes
But now they see this time
The blind will deny you
