Darling don’t be scared
Come lie down by the fire
You got nothing to fear
We’re all alone out here
You know you’re safe with me
Chorus
I won’t let no one do you harm
I’ll never take my eyes off you
I will keep you safe and sound
You’ll be just fine as long as I’m around
So have another drink
Try to close your eyes
You’re gonna need your strength
We’re leaving in the morning
Babe you’re safe with me
Chorus
I won’t let no one do you harm
I’ll never take my eyes off you
I will keep you safe and sound
You’ll be just fine as long as I’m around
Babe you’re safe with me
Babe you’re safe with me
Darling don’t be scared
Come lie down by the fire
You got nothing to fear
We’re all alone out here

Don’t dismiss the fourth estate
Numbers have their way
Call me Manichean
God loves me just the same
They say the end is near
The end is here
No man can tell you when the world will end
Man don’t have no master plan
Best watch who you believe in
Understand the upper hand’s been
Known to be deceiving
They say the end is near
The end is here
No man can tell you when the world will end
I don’t care what you believe
Inside we’re all the same
Ain’t no getting even
In the end we’re all to blame
They say the end is here, the end is here
They say the end is near, the end is here
No man can tell you when the world will end
No man can tell you when the world will end
Since the day man learned to speak
It’s endless times been said
The end is here, the end is near
How many thousand years?
The end is near, the end is here
How many thousand years?
No man can tell you when the world will end
No man can tell you when the world will end
No man can tell you when the world will end
No one knows when it’ll end

Master And Margarita
03:45
|
|||
|
Hope I can drink myself to sleep
Before the sun it gets to rising
I beg the Lord my soul to keep
Every time I close my eyes
Nobody I know is a wise man
I’m pawning my collection of friends
Ain’t no use in saying what we believe in
Cause nowadays the war never ends (2x)
Chorus
I’m your master you’re my margarita
You know I got the heart of a dog
I laugh at every other disaster
That man and god they send my way
Whatever man and god may send my way
The one thing you can always depend on
Trouble waits around the bend
The more defenseless that they can descend on
Is the less time that they have to spend
Somebody wake me up if I am still sleeping
Go on and call me terrible names
They’ll shear the sheep and use ‘em for kindling
Cause it’s hard to start a fire in the rain (2x)
Chorus
You ask me about my trip to the labyrinths
An I can’t think of nothing to say
Like you , I think They’re magically tragic
In their own Mephistophelian way (2x)
Chorus (2x)

An Invisible Hand
04:58
|
|||
|
I am that I am
Forget where I’m from
Been changing my name
For hundreds of years
I come and I go
I do as I please
An I can bring kings and queens
To their knees
Chorus
I got a skeleton key
And an invisible hand
And you got the supply
That I demand
I am the disease
An I got your cure
I’m behind both sides
Of the war
Some say I’m to blame
But I got no shame
And I will defend
My means to the end
Chorus/solo/Chorus
I knew who you were
Before you were born
I know where you go
I know what you do
I’m here and I’m gone
Whatever I please
An I can bring kings and queens
To their knees
Chorus

Before I Die
04:53
|
|||
|
You know it’s true
You are right, I am wrong
What are you gonna do?
You know that I, I’ll go along with you
As long as you want me to
For as long as you want me, too
Chorus:
I know I gave you a rocky ride
But even if we fail, I’m glad (at least) we tried
If I ever see you with another,
I’ll try an treat him like a brother
And wait to walk away before I die
I’ll wait to walk away before I die
We were so young
We had the good, we had the bad
After everything we’ve been through,
Your mind and mine will always be entwined
Don’t wanna be the one to drag you down
I don’t wanna be the one who drug you down
Chorus/Solo
I was a fool
To think my hollow heart could do enough for you
You could’ve done much better than me
Your family and all your friends agree
But you’re the only one I’ve ever loved
You’re the only one I will ever love
Chorus (2x

Friends Like Mine
03:33
|
|||
|
It’s time to shine my devices
Before I put on my Sunday best
Cause every moment is priceless
And every movement is planned beforehand
Chorus
Ain’t no need for any enemies
If you got friends like mine
Friends like mine
Somebody’s out to get me
I think I’ll hide or even run
Somebody’s coming to get me
And I don’t know who it is or what I’ve done
I can feel ‘em creeping up from behind me
They’re never gonna stop till’ they find me
Chorus
Ain’t no need for any enemies
If you got friends like mine
Friends like mine
Solo/Chorus
I can feel ‘em creeping up from behind me
They’re never gonna stop till’ they find me
Chorus
Ain’t no need for any enemies
If you got friends like mine
Friend like mine
It’s time to update the shitlist
Put a big X next to every name
I got a never forget list
I call the adversary hall of fame
Some of my enemy’s enemies
Are my enemies too
In my memories some of my enemies
Were once friends like you
Friends like you

Siren Song
03:57
|
|||
|
Dark clouds all around
Cannot hear the siren song
My sweet Lorelei
She’s singing from the shore
Chorus
We got lost at sea
Some say we been out here
For several years
Seems like a lifetime
You killed your albatross
And now we’ll all have to pay the cost
With this curse of thirst
I think I hear a siren song
I think I hear a siren song
Solo
Dead souls all around
Cannot hear the siren song
Chorus
We got lost at sea
They say we disappeared
For several years
Felt like a lifetime
Now I hear the siren song
Now I hear the siren song
Chorus
We got lost at sea
Some say we disappeared
For several years
Felt like a lifetime
Felt like a lifetime
Felt like a lifetime
Felt like a lifetime

Phantoms In The Rain
03:08
|
|||
|
You don’t seem the same
Ever since you saw
What you still hesitate to say
Seven days you’ve had no sleep
I all seems like a dream
Apparitions, haunted visions,
Sounds you cannot explain
Flashing lights on foggy nights
And phantoms in the rain
Phantoms in the rain
Phantoms in the rain
Phantoms in the rain
Phantoms in the rain
You’re not the only one
Many more have seen their share
And fear can fan the flame
Everything is everywhere
They’re called by many names
Apparitions, haunted visions,
Sounds you cannot explain
Flashing lights on foggy nights
And phantoms in the rain
Phantoms in the rain
Phantoms in the rain
Phantoms in the rain
Phantoms in the rain

Your Vacant Eyes
04:29
|
|||
|
Life takes its course
And time takes its toll
I found myself
In the depths of a hole
Half the size of your two vacant eyes
I remember you now
Before I got lost
When you were half the size of your two distant eyes
Chorus
There’s always angels all around
That we don’t see
Most folks they don’t know till they hit the ground
What to believe
We all make mistakes
And learn from the cost
The chances we take
The coins that we toss
Well they were half the size of your two hollow eyes
Half the size of your two hollow eyes
Chorus/Solo
I got to the top
The top of the pile
I can count on the stars
To see where we are
And they were half the size of your two empty eyes
I remember you now
And I always will
When you were half the size of your forsaken eyes
Chorus (1.5)
Life takes its course
And time takes its toll
