Tracks



01. Godless

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
Godless
Feeling
In me
Night
After
Night
Godless
Feeling
In me
Borne
Of
Their lives

You gave me all of this
And more
Yea that's for sure
I can't believe in all your pain
Under the draining of a
Christian
Deities blood
You tell your children
They're insane

I couldn't love it anymore
I had to listen to my heart
I couldn't take it anymore
And so you leave me
Godless

Just spread your
Tentacles
Of hate
Around my life
I've taken more than you could ever give
You can't believe that someone
Challenges
Your right
I'm gonna send you back your pain

I couldn't love it anymore
I had to listen to my heart
I couldn't take it anymore
And so you leave me
Godless

I ask all who have gathered here to join me
In this feast may we always be strong in body
Spirit
And mind
And all of those who would try to harm us
Let them be cast aside

02. Anything

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
Anything you want
Anything
The world has to offer
I can give you
If you just reach out to me
Take my hand
Everything a kiss cannot bring
I will give you
If you just say you will

And it's freedom
In my arms
And it's freedom
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms

Anything you want
Anything
This world has to offer
I can give you
All this world
And its glories
And its sins
I will give it all
To you
Take my hand
If you just say
You will

Anything you want
It's in my arms
Anything you need
It's in my arms
Anything you want
It's in my arms
Anything you need
It's in my
Loving arms
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms

03. Bodies

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
(Chorus:)
Bodies
Please
Don't cry
Bodies
Don't die
Bodies
Please don't cry
Bodies

I been taking all the silver
I been saving all the gold
I'm gonna stuff it down the throat
Of a week old corpse
Save that doggone soul
I been saving up my pain
I'm gonna give it back in spades
I been strangling the cries
From the murder of love
Save your soul tonight

I been raising up the dead
Gonna send them to the house of Cain
I been praying in light
Of the warning moon
Slay your doggone soul
I been put upon this world
I been walking up and down
To and fro
Save your doggone soul

I got bodies on the left
I got bodies on the right
I got bodies
Up and down
All across town
Save your soul tonight

04. How The Gods Kill

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
If you feel alive
In a darkened room
Do you know the name
Of your solitude
If you ain't got the answer
If you don't know the truth
If you want the power
Then let it flow through

Would you let it go
Would you let it go
They cannot end this mourning
Of my life
Show me
How the gods kill

If you feel alive
If you got no fear
Do you know the name
Of the one you seek
If you want the answer
If you want the truth
Look inside your empty soul
There
You'll find the noose

Would you let it go
Would you let it go
They cannot end this mourning
Of my life
Show me
How the gods kill

05. Dirty Black Summer

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
No summer in the wintertime
Will keep you warm
Like a funeral pyre
And nothing
Like an august night
Drenched
In your loving
I got a dirty
Black summer

And nothing
In the coolest light
Cant stop the walking out across
The line
No holding back the summer night
I got a feeling

It's just a dirty
Black summer

06. Left Hand Black

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
Kinda like a dog
W/ seven pupils
In its eye
Kinda like a madness
That refuses
To subside
Kinda like everything you want
Just w/in your grasp
Kinda like
How a banshee-wail
Dances
On a living heart
I'm gonna stand
At the top of the world
Challenge the heavens
Gonna bring you god
Gonna bring you god
In the palm of the left hand black
Gonna bring you god

Kinda like
When the sun goes down
And darkness makes its climb
Kinda like all your muscle tissue
Starting to unwind
Kinda like
If you brave the hate
Feed it
To the left hand black

How I know
I can take their power
Send it back at
Triple times strength

How I see the battle
And the bleeding
Human race
How I miss the taste of it
It's sweet
And warm
Embrace

How I see
The world's demise
Its last
And final gasp
How I see
Reality
Explode
Into another kind of life

07. Heart Of The Devil

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
I am
Heart
Of the
Devil

I have
Heart
Of the
Devil

I can make a man
Freeze in his tracks
I can make a man
Fall to his death
I can make a girl
So eager to please
I can make a young girl
Lay down
For me
Because
I'm evil
And
Love is gone

I can make the skies
Thunder and shake
I can make the world
Tremble and quake
I can make your pulse
Pound in your veins
I can make your heart
Stop
And start
Again
Because
I'm evil
Love is gone

I can make the world
Tremble and shake
I can make the skies
Black in my wake
I can make a girl
So eager to please
I can make a young girl
Lay down
For me
Because
I'm evil
And
Love is gone
My love is gone

08. Sistinas

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
Take my hand
You'll
Never find
Another
Quite like mine
If you look
You'll
See that I'm
A lonely one

I
Lost my soul
Deep inside
And it's so
Black
And cold
Deep inside

Sistine smile
You'll
Never know
The trap it's set

And if you did
You'll
Never look
Into
Its eyes

The sun don't shine
The wind won't blow
When you go hide
Without your love
I'm lonely
Deep inside

09. Do You Wear The Mark

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
Devil on the left
Angel on the right
There's no mistake
Who'll I be w/ tonight
Over the fore
Lamb's head on my lap
Days
Pass like weeks w/o the sight

Then comes the fury of the lullaby
Then comes the fury of the lullaby

Heartbeat in a hole
An eyeball
Loose and wild
Dropping memories
Out upon the open tiles
And over to the left
There sit the loveless ones
Crying slowly and sucking on a gun

Do you wear the mark
Do you wear the mark
Darling
Darling
Do you wear the mark

10. When The Dying Calls

Music & lyrics by Glenn Danzig
Out
Of the night comes
A timeless thing
Calm
In simplicity
Whispers
Soft
A seductive voice
Meant for the human ear
Down
Down
Down
I'm gonna take you
Down
That's when the dying calls

If I look
In the dark of this world
If I lose
I don't mind
That's when the dying calls

Down
Through the ages
From the dawn of time
Roam
Through the world of dreams
Up
Drom the black
Of the Mississippi mud
Calling
Out to everything
Down
Down
Down
I'm gonna bring you
Down
That's when the dying calls

If I play
In the dark of this world
If I lose
I don't mind
That's when the dying calls
