How was I to know that she was taken
I'd had her so many times before
She was on my mind and she was on the floor
She ain't no girl next door
She never said a word about you
Her tongue was too busy working overtime
She never stopped me as I made her mine
I didn't mean to do it, but I'd do it again
Do it in a heartbeat, Oh it's a sin
It's burnin' you up, but still I call you a friend,
But I didn't mean to do it (I didn't mean to do it)
I didn't mean to do it, but I'd do it again
Over and over and over again
It's burning you up, but still I call you a friend
I didn't mean to do it, but I'd do it again
You've seen the way she looks, how could I say know
Been dead and buried, six feet underground
It�s my resurrection
Long forgotten rhymes, long forgotten times
Raise the dead
Hit me, hurt me, beat me, bruise me
Throw me on the ground and break me
What kind of world was left behind?
What kind of world was underground?
What kind of world has been and gone?
Can you see the colors landing? - landing on the wall
Keystone's cold, the Mescal's flowing through my veins
Take me to a place where your mind runs free
I've tried, he's tried, you've tried and tried
Tried the best I can to take on all the sins of man
Tried to walk the narrow path and fight the holy fight
The highest angel in the sky can only fly so high
The deepest demon down below will feast upon your soul
It's a long way down
I don�t want you unaware - I don�t need you to be so scared
You Cry
I don�t want you unimpressed - I don�t need you, I confess
I won�t accept the fact I fear,
Black and White like day and night
There�s something here alone with me
And just as quickly as it came (it�s gone)
'The King is dead - long live the King' - a stranger in the end
Yesterday has blown away, faded from my mind
Memories marching one by one
'cause Today is what tomorrow left behind
The world we knew was torn in two, thrown into the fire
Memories burning to the ground
I watched in horror as your towers fell
Look around you, you can see a thousand signs
Your priests can study what the good book says
This may be the last time that you hear from me
If I told her "stop", all she heard was "go, go, go!"
Climbing on my head and screaming out for more
RESURRECTION
Been nearly 20 years since I�ve made a sound
Been waiting for a sign
Now I think it�s time to raise the dead
So far gone I may as well be deaf, dumb and blind
You never heard a word I said
Now I think it�s time to raise the dead
It�s my resurrection
raise the dead
Tie me up and use me
gag my thoat so I won�t make a sound
Nail me to your tree and take me
Nothing you can do will hold me down
That paradise is only in my mind, now
What kind of world have we become?
All things we did have come undone
So far below, it can't be found
What kind of world is in the sky?
Was it only a lie?
What kind of world have we become?
What kind of world is yet to come?
HIGH SOCIETY
Will you catch me, brother, If I start to fall?
Eyes are red, party, braindead, see the lights come flashing
Ceiling's breathing - thinking nonstop
"7's the magic number" as she sought out the reigns
Wild horses always pull me down
Twist my arm and slam another round
Silly me, laughin' in the face of tragedy
You wanna be livin' in the lap of luxury
You gotta be talkin' 'bout High Society
But you just can't see it
She ain't all that, but she's fun for the night
Better do it 'till you get it right
LONG WAY DOWN
Felt your lash across my back your iron in my hand
'Though I've screamed a thousand times, I've never made a sound
And through it all tried not to fall, cause it's a long way down
But every time it seems I end up worshipping the night
It seems I've tried a hundred years to turn my life around
And through it all tried not to fall, cause it's a long way down
When he lands upon the ground you clip is wings
And try to hold him down
In fading light the name of salvation is now a
Name you'll never know
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
CRY
I won�t waste away the coming days for you
This simple phrase, in fact, is true
As I sit and watch and wait reborn, and you
No, me - Not I
I won�t let you in
The downward spin begins to sanctify
You Cry
I don�t see the scars that only run skin deep
To me the voices are asleep
But you feel the force of voices as they creep
SCHIZOPHRENIA
No matter how, year after year
It�s too late to make the change;
To separate my worlds so strange
Can�t seem to get my head that straight,
Less all the things that just can�t wait
I let the sun shine on my face,
But still I feel I�m out of place
Two different worlds I try to fight
They both thrive; my will is might
They, too, alive. My mind, my sight.
In my heart and in my soul
And every part of me untold
In every right and wrong I see
Just like a tragic comedy
There�s something here alone with me
And nothing; no one shares the blame
There�s only me, and I alone
My bootstraps and my grinding stone
Highed up on possibilities
Brought back down to reality
Stumbling in ecstasy
Changing the way that I breathe
THE PHEONIX
Like days forgotten with the wind, you'll never see your King again
Nobody cared, nobody cried, nobody even said goodbye
Said goodbye
Never seen again
and it's too late to change your mind
'cause Yesterday is what today has left undone
the song is sung
Yesterday is Dead and Gone
Will the Phoenix rise from the flames?
From the flames
Never make a sound
THE END OF TIME
I see you standing at the gates of hell
Death is all around you, but you can't smell
When you're locked in your shell
Look around you, can't read between the lines
You're living at the end of time
But who will light the candle at the end of days?
Your kings are dying, and who will take their place?
Who will take their place?
This may be the last face that you'll ever see
You could be all you'll ever be
So make the most and soon you'll be forever free
