We Come Undone
My life upon your faith as we steal across this night
The gods and monsters light our way
To see through these eyes is to seize on the surprise
that turns to dust in the light of day
And now that I've made you mine,
it's a curse I take to heart
Got a need to destroy, maladjusted little boy
Disregard your every boundary
To see if you're the one I can push over the edge
that comes crawling back to me
So we ride, one step ahead
of the beast we can't outrun
And we love what we can't have
'til the day we come undone
The 3 Wishes
Buried in my skin
Sweating out my sin
My three wishes
are all that's keeping me alive
Broken by temptation
Alive in paradise
Swallowed in the landslide
or dancing in the light
This twisted ecstasy
One love in heresy
I pray you'll never
lose your hold on me
I could play the part
Scarab on your heart
My three wishes
are all that's keeping me alive
No Need to Wonder
Now may be the only time we get
to share the smallest part
of the loneliness
that makes us who we are
It seems to be the way
You never seem to stay too long
When your work is done,
you leave me high and dry
And God only knows why
I just can't get enough
There's no need to wonder
why you pull me under
'cause I can't stop to think about
coming to my senses
And I can't stop to think about
truth or consequences now
You know I can't refuse
And even if we lose,
I'll stand this ground with you
Your ever-watchful eye
Whatever fortune falls,
remember we are flesh
for just a moment's time
but spirits evermore
If we only knew what for...
'cause I can't get enough
Scarab
Can't do right for all your doing wrong
You're just as fearless in your evil
as the day is long
Your name, I call you spite-your-face
I'm just another demon seed
born of your disgrace
You made my mother turn her back on Heaven
And now your day has come
You've got to pay for what you've done
You made my mother turn her back on Heaven
Bring down the murder
Make it feel like a love embrace
A leech here in the House of Love
a bloodsucker devil,
scourge of the lord above
You made my mother turn her back on Heaven
Blackest Hour
You come like a pistol prayer
A faithless friend in need on a double dare
Cut down from the cross you bear
But as you hit the ground nobody's left to care
Long is the blackest hour
But I'm so lonely I just can't walk away
Long is the blackest hour
But I'm too far-gone to turn back now
Slapped down like a crying clown
A vestal virgin broken at the edge of town
And I'm screaming inside
Give it to me I can take it
Smoke and Mirrors
Your love brings me to my knees
Rapes my memories
Kills me by degrees
Your love owns my heart and mind
Leaves no peace to find
Pulls me out of line
And every breath you take
is a siren song that's got me spinning
out of control
I'm scratching at your door
Holding out for more
I'm solid in my faith
But shaken to the core
And in your darkest hour
I will see you through
I'll lay down my life
the way true lover's do
And build a bridge to you
Your love chants the crying curse
Rings my nightmare nurse
Drives a diamond hearse
And every touch I feel from another
just leaves me wanting
what you won't give up
Unhinged
Break through the dead air space
And burn every tender trace
I'm numb to the air I breathe
I killed everything I needed
And now I'm dusted
Claw my way to the Kingdom Come
Crushed like a bone in the teeth of God
I am One in the name of Love
Throw a smile to the ages
Cross all my names off the pages
And now I'm dusted
Claw my way to the Kingdom Come
Before the Fall (tablature)
My secret sharer
I feel the thorn twist in your side
I know why they fear you
They see the love behind your eyes
And they can't stand your vision
Because they thrive on collision
So I will raise you up
Before the fall
My falling flower
The lamb inside the lions' lair
But you have the power
To free us all with just one prayer
For the heavens that bore you
can never ignore you
And I will raise you up
Above their stones
And their arrows
And the crosses they would nail you to
And the evil in the words they say
And the laws they write but don't obey
And the mirrors they'd never dare look through
And the lies they try to sell to me and you
