if i had a bat
he would be my friend
i would take him to the park
let him fly around and around again and again
imagine the faces
imagine the faces on all the squares
when i arrive with my bat
i want a bat
i want a bat
bat
a little brown bat
bat
most people say they want a dog
most people say they want a cat
most people say they want something ordinary
i want some thing a little more unique than that
something exotic
something strange
something mysterious
i want a bat
i want a bat
a little black bat
i want a bat
gimme a great big brown bat
like the kind in australia
looks like a fox
hangin' around
sharing mangos
and making friends
with other bats
i want a bat
i want a bat
me and my sweetheart
hanging out at petsmart with our bat

red words
05:50
|
|||
|
all these words
speak into my heart
speaking truth
tell me how to play my part
speaking love
speaking peace
speaking hope
written on prophetic pages
i read the red words...
false interpretations
selfish opinions
fueled by pride
and blind ambition
but the red words are yours and never foster darkness
when i don't know what to think
when i don t know who to trust
i trust the red words...
if truth is relative
unique to one's perspective
tell me what worth can it possibly have
how can it have the power or authority to
help you on your way
erasing the line
of what we need as morality
claiming that the truth is all but a lie
and a lie is the truth
but lies cannot be true
the author of confusion
claims another generation
i believe the red words...
don't feed me doctrine
don't feed me opinions
don't feed me legality
don't feed me religion
i read the red words
i read the red words
i trust the red words
i trust the red words
i believe the red words

i don't care
05:40
|
|||
|
your possession
used to control me
illusion of freedom
in my obsession
beautiful abomination
and vile degradation
i don't care anymore...
everything
i've ever wanted
has been promised
by the father of light
but the darkness is louder
and has polluted our minds
we no longer hear
above the hatred and fear
and as a captive to id
i must carry on here
i don't care anymore...

if i should die
05:27
|
|||
|
as i lay me down to sleep
i pray the Lord the Lord my soul to keep
if i should die before i wake
i give the Lord my soul to take
as i lay me down to sleep
i pray the lord the Lord my soul to keep
if i should die before i wake
i give the Lord my soul to take

descend
04:59
|
|||
|
in his righteousness descend
with your wings all spread
draw your sword
through the sky
place your heal
on the monster's head
the day of his defeat
is at hand and he knows
though his reign will soon begin
his reign is oppression
his reign is seduction
his reign is perversion
his reign will be short
his reign is deceit
and we will see his defeat
we will see his defeat
we will see his defeat
descend...
in his righteousness descend
with your wings all spread
draw your sword
through the sky
place your heal
on the monster's head

snakes and spiders
04:34
|
|||
|
i got snakes
growing in my soul
twisting and churning
and they're telling me things
telling me things
that i don't want to know
i should not believe
but i knew they would know
i got spiders
laying their eggs
under my skin
don't know how long it's been
don't know how long it's been
and they're showing me things
and they're showing me things
i don't need to see
showing me things
i don't need to see
i don't even know their name
i don't even know their name

is there anything left
is there anything left
that has not been said
that has not been said
is there anyone left
is there anyone left
who has not heard
who has not heard
is there anyone left
who has not tasted the dream
who has not tasted the dream
is there anyone left...
is there anyone left
is there anyone left
who has not tasted to see
who has not tasted to see
taste and see
taste and see

hunt

i'm on the hunt
for a beast
that's been killing
everyone
everything
i'm on the hunt
i'm on the hunt
have you heard
growling growling growling
have you seen
teeth
fangs
claws
blood
violence violence violence
anger
rage
i'm on the hunt
i'm on the hunt
vicious
snarling
evil
glowing red eyes
i'm on the hunt
for a beast
and i fear
that beast is me
i'm on the hunt
for a beast
evil
savage
if you hear it
run
if you see it
it's already too late
lock your doors...
i'm on the hunt
for a beast
and i fear
that beast is me

another song
05:27
|

|
here's another song about love
a story we've all heard
one thousand times before
how can you not see
how can you not feel
how can you even dare to ask me that
here's another song about love
a song that we've all heard
one thousand times before
the sorrow is familiar
betrayal and deceit
heartbreak so unbridled
devestation's incomplete
here's another song about love
the same song that we've all heard
one thousand times before
a song about commitment
a song about trust
what God has joined together
let it not be undone
how can you not see
how can you not feel
how can you even dare to ask me that
after all the distance we have gone
after all the battles we have won

tremble all ye oppressors of the world
you cannot keep the world in darkness
in darkness...
tremble all oppressors of the world
you must restore
you must restore
unto mankind
their God-given rights
their God-given rights
tremble all oppressors of the world
you must consent
you must consent
to the correction of abuse
to the correction of abuse
before they and you
are destroyed
forever...

lilith

lilith often comes to pull me under
lilith often comes to tell me lies
lilith often tries to take me over
lilith often tries to twist my mind
and is a touch a horrible thing if i give in
to let her have her way and just pretend
counting all the different ways i've tried to kill her
after all this time she still gets in
her words smell like death but taste like wine
as long as i'm alive she just won't die
she just won't die...
and is a touch a horrible thing if i give in

her words smell like death but taste like wine
as long as i'm alive she just won't die
she just won't die...
why won't she die...

Leper Chicago
Hundreds of years ago, Leper emerged from the cold clay of a long-forgotten grave in a forested fog somewhere between Skotland and Sveden. The pulsating rhythm from within the tomb still in the chest, the now-breathing creature –reanimated, stunned, staring down – remembers.... how a lifeless wretch lives again. ... more
