02. Dying To Breathe

I've seen this sickness once before
The kind that rots and leaves you wanting so much more
Though I could believe you something calls me to come forth
You sit and lie in wait with something that we all adore

Oh

And I bet you're dying to breathe
And I bet you're dying to breathe
I've seen it all come crashing down
The blood the mire it reeks and sifts right though your crooked crown
Though I could believe you something calls me to come forth
You sit and lie in wait with something that we all adore

Oh

And I bet you're dying to breathe
(More than anything)
And I bet you're dying to breathe

And I bet you're dying to breathe
(More than anything)
I bet you're dying to breathe

And I bet you're dying to breathe
I bet you're dying to breathe

03. Black Swan

I'm the only one like a black swan calling sing on sing on
You've got thunder, heart, and on and on

But you're the only one who sits at the back of the mass
And I'm the only one with the bullet
And you're the only one who can feed this desire
Running around your head
Cause he was asking for it

I'm the only one who can be on time at all
You've got spirit can you hear my call

But you're the only one who sits at the back of the mass
And I'm the only one with the bullet
And you're the only one who can feed this desire
Running around your head
Cause he was asking for it

But you're the only one who sits at the back of the mass
And I'm the only one with the bullet
And you're the only one who can feed this desire
Running around your head
Cause he was asking for it

04. The Lion's Den

Alone again beneath the lion's den
Where we have found a place to hide
And dream of death
While you awake in life
And I'm still dreaming of the other side

In a dream where I felt so young
Well so much can fade away
And awake into the afternoon
You're better off alone
In a dream where I felt so young
So much can fade away

You're not dreaming
You are not alone
Feel the cold chill of your final stone
While they ask you to enjoy all earth's delights
We are brothers we refuse and choose the knife

In a dream where I felt so young
Well so much can fade away
And awake into the afternoon
You're better off alone
In a dream where I hurt someone
Well so much can fade away
And awake into the afternoon
You're better off alone
And I feel it in my bones

In a dream where I felt so young
Well so much can fade away
And awake into the afternoon
You're better off alone
In a dream where I hurt someone
Well so much can fade away
And are we all the same?
With different chances different dances

06. The Falcon

It doesn't matter whether we win or lose my love
Now draw your sword I'll lead the charge
I'm just as good as
Just as good as
Dead

I feel a loathing
I'm feeling so unusual
A boiling marrow in my bones
I'm just as good as
Just as good as
Dead
Dead

A sickness hanging over me
What's hanging over you?
For the one who sets us free
They often bring a noose
Lord it's hard to be grateful
I won't be running but I wont be watching you drown
Over our head the falcon's coming down

The crash of hoof beat the roar of men
Reform the line
A poison dripped into a glass
I'm just as good as
Just as good as
Dead
Dead

A sickness hanging over me
What's hanging over you?
For the one who sets us free
They often bring a noose
Lord it's hard to be grateful
I won't be running but I won't be watching you drown
Over our head the falcons coming down

A sickness hanging over me
What's hanging over you?
For the one who sets us free
They often bring a noose
Lord it's hard to be grateful
I won't be running but I won't be watching you drown
I won't be watching you drown
(Watching you drown)
I won't be watching you drown
(Watching you drown)
Over our head the falcon's coming down

07. The Silent Bell Toll

Fear of the silent bell toll
Fear of the silent god
Although your heart is burning
They will not applaud
Though I am my own believer
Get in line
Tired hungry lost his fever
Feel alive

Fear above me be my guiding hand
Cause I still believe in you
I still believe in you
Come what may
Catch the mystery
I hope you understand
I still believe in you
I still believe in you

Come to the light my son
You're the fire the chosen one
At first a temperate glow
A chill now overcomes
Though you walk through shadow nonbeliever
Keep in mind
Your torture makes it all the sweeter
Don't be blind

Come what may
Fear above me
Be my guiding hand
Cause I still believe in you
I still believe in you
Come what may
Catch the mystery I hope you understand
I still believe in you
I still believe in you

I'm sorry for the anger
And I'm sorry for the pain
I double crossed your strength your virtue
Let me die in vain
And I'm sorry
I'm just sorry that
My hearts so full of doubt
When you call on me don't act too slow
But know I'm not burning out

09. Oh Madrigal

How many voices
Get lost beyond the tide?
No room in heaven
They must sacrifice their lives
How many come to know the wicked in their own eye?
Cast out with cruelty
It wears its own disguise

How many lovers
Share their last embrace?
On deathbeds shallower
Then the time they now erase
How many come to know the meaning of it all?
Our will is ancient
Will someone hear the call?

Oh madrigal
The life you live
Is given to
Into the wind

My will is set
My heart it rages on
For all who died here
We play an aged song
One life unbroken and as complex as the maze
The path you've chosen
Now vanished in the haze

Oh madrigal
The life you live
Is given to
Into the wind

Bathe me in fire
An everlasting sea
Wash it away all time
Reality
Because you will see
That you have chosen death
Because you will see that you have chosen

Cast out astray and banished beyond the sea
A letter for no one
A plea to nobody
Because you will see that you have chosen Death
Because you will see that you have chosen Death
Because you will see that you have chosen Death
