Here they come It's a mauling We're running blind. We've lost our minds This is a christening The rule of emperors who've risen from the grave This wound is deep. She'll never heal. We stood & fought, we tried, but still No one can ever stave the terror of the dead Be quiet. They'll hear your heartbeat. One bite, no life, that's the way that it goes Be quiet. They'll hear your heartbeat One bite, no life, feel your soul slip away My God it must be tough, living out your life from the grave My God it must be tough, living out your life from the grave Now these are the times It's a calling to arms. Stand and fight for the right to live These are the times I might die today but I'm taking you with me, bitch I saw them. They're coming by the thousands There's no soul in their eyes Here they come Here they come I saw them. They're coming by the thousands There's no soul in their eyes

Bounce Now baby girl, can you riddle me this? You said your eyes were only, eyes were only For me, for mine But it seems that story was just another pretty lie Now I'm left, thinking here to myself This is what my gut has told me, gut has told me You're a Jezebel, you wear it well With a face so cute, eyes full of hell And I can't sleep at night with you Running 'round those city streets Heading right to those bedroom sheets I tried to separate myself from the world That made me this way I'll see what we can become in a world That made me this way "Baby, why don't you believe in me?" "Why you don't you believe in me?" See what this is, and what this has to be Aren't the words that you're wanting to hear I let you in, you let me down So don't you cry when you look and I'm not around See what this is, and what this has to be Aren't the words that you're wanting to hear I let you in, you let me down So don't you cry when you look up and I'm not around So don't you cry when you look up and I'm nowhere to be found I tried to separate myself from the world That made me this way I'll see what we can become in a world That made me this way These are the paths we choose. These are the lives we lead These are the secrets that we keep These are the paths we choose. These are the lives we lead These are the secrets that we keep And I can't sleep at night with you Running 'round in those city streets Being chased right back to those bedroom sheets And I can't sleep at night with you Running 'round in those city streets Being chased right back to his bedroom Right back into his bedroom, his bedroom Killing me softly with every word Killing me now Now baby girl, can you riddle me this? You said your eyes were only, eyes were only For me, for mine But it seems that story was just another pretty lie And now I'm left, thinking here to myself This is what my gut has told me, gut has told me You're a Jezebel, you wear it well With a face so cute, eyes full of hell And I can't sleep at night with you Running 'round those city streets Heading right to those bedroom sheets I tried to separate myself from the world That made me this way I'll see what we can become in a world That made me this way That made me this way (x4) "Baby, why don't you believe in me?" "Why you don't you believe in me?"

Enough When it all comes down, crashing around Can you look at the stars and tell me? Is this really the way, that you wanted to say How you wanted this thing to be? When it all comes down Tell me will you wonder, will you ponder how you lost the way? When it all comes down Tell me will you think and will you say As the fire slowly dies so will the passion Of everything that we have ever loved (what we stood for) And all I ask of you is to remember the night where you walked away (the night you walked away) Do you remember when I swept you off your feet Do you recall the promise you made to me I still dream about the day You shut the door on everything we could have been And now I'm left here with these hopes inside these dreams As the fire slowly dies so will the passion Of everything that we have ever loved (what we stood for) And all I ask of you is to remember the night where you walked away (the night you walked away) Do you remember when I swept you off your feet This will be the last time that I'm screaming your name As the tides wash away the presence of love itself It's the final time It's the final time Do you recall the promise you made to me I still dream about the day Is this way (is this the way) that you want it to be (that you want it to be) Is this way (is this the way) that you want it to be (that you want it to be) When it all comes down, crashing around Can you look at the stars and tell me? Is this really the way, that you wanted to say How you wanted this thing to be? When it all comes down Tell me will you wonder, will you ponder how you lost the way? When it all comes down Tell me will you think and will you say As the fire slowly dies so will the passion Of everything that we have ever loved (what we stood for) And all I ask of you is to remember the night where you walked away (the night you walked away) Do you remember when I swept you off your feet Do you remember when Do you remember when Do you remember when I swept you off your feet Do you recall (do you recall) Just take my hand You know it's all in good fun Just take my hand You know it's all in good fun In good fun

They came down, descending from the heavens Kidnapping the poor girl right up from her sleep In her they gave the world its dying message "Surrender, you Earthlings, we're breaking you piece by piece" No survivors Not a one that will live to say No survivors Not a one that will live to say They will erase us all Not a one that will live to say The people laughed as the poor girl tried to warn them They locked her up and they threw away the key That's when it rained, a fire of a fury A slaughter for the ages They won't stop until we're deceased This is the end A better price to pay, than be left to see All the slaughter unbeknownst to me They took every poor soul that their eyes did see And washed this whole world over in misery Our home's been slain Our blood is the price we pay And my soul can't sleep. It gently weeps For the terror to cease, for a better day They came down, descending from the heavens Kidnapping the poor girl right up from her sleep In her they gave the world its dying message "Surrender, you Earthlings, we're breaking you piece by piece" No survivors Not a one that will live to say No survivors Not a one that will live to say They will erase us all They will erase us all

Sucker! It's occurring to me That this has to be another horror Just another painful tragedy Got me spread so thin. Where do I begin? Falling apart Walking down your bridge of solid lies Lies (x3) C'mon pretty girl. You know the world is watching We wanna show that pretty face the love and praise it deserves C'mon pretty girl. You know the world is watching We wanna show that pretty face the love and praise it deserves So obvious to all who see To everyone but me That your ways will be the end of me Your kiss erases all my courage to leave It makes me weak to my knees Now I see, we'll never make it out alive We won't make it out alive We won't, we won't make it out We won't make it out alive tonight I think we've been right here before (before) Because your palms are sweating So I'll take my chances and fall deeper into this Am I the only one who can't see through to your lies? (x3) Just take off your mask C'mon pretty girl. You know the world is watching We wanna show that pretty face the love and praise it deserves C'mon pretty girl. Don't you know the world is watching? We wanna show that pretty face the love and praise it deserves Lie (x2) Do you know she's burning? She's burning alive in a sea of her lies Do you know she's burning? She's burning alive in a sea of her lies Will I ever be free?

Realize I'm setting you free This is the provocation For what? For me? This is the longing for the freedom that your heart seeks Abandon the false doctrines you were taught to bear Realize behind your eyes a fire begging to be shared You've been sleeping too long Now it's time. Wake up from your slumber You came here on a special mission I've got your attention. Time to get it done Can you really just sit idly by? Can you not feel the calling to come alive? You came here on a special mission I've got your attention. Time to get it done You know it's true Remember! Open your eyes. You will remember Open your eyes. You will remember Can you really just sit idly by? Can you not feel the calling to come alive? You came here on a special mission I've got your attention. Wake up and get it done Time waits for no one This is the provocation For what? For me? This is the longing for the freedom that your heart seeks Abandon the false doctrines you were taught to bear Realize behind your eyes a burning fire begging to be shared You've been sleeping too long Now it's time. Wake up from your slumber You came here on a special mission I've got your attention. Time to get it done Can you really just sit idly by? Can you not feel the calling to come alive? You came here on a special mission I've got your attention. Time to get it done You know it's true Open your eyes. You will remember Open your eyes. You will remember Can you really just sit idly by? Can you not feel the calling to come alive? You came here on a special mission I've got your attention. Wake up and get it done

Open your eyes It's about time you know I thought I saw you by the wishing well You're heart was begging for my sorrow A tragedy This is the last time "my friend" That this treachery will persist While I burn bright as a supernova You'll evaporate into the dust I should've seen it coming Such a long, long time before I can see straight through the mask you wear You're not a second worth my time I should've seen this coming This storm silently brewing You smile in the fakest fashion Two faced in the darkest passion As you hide behind You're ego and state of mind Who do you think you are? Driving things to points this far I'll never fail to see The ones who are truly here for me You call out, you cry out my name You martyr yourself to conceal your own shame Enough Move! As you hide behind You're ego and state of mind

Move! So here we are, on a beaten road These dreams consumed the hopes You know the love we shared is the most I've cared You brought me back to life from a ghost But there you stand in front of me With your bag in your hand Tears run down your cheeks My heart quakes as you speak You've tried so hard but it's taking its toll You can't live with your heart on the road Now baby please, if you believe in me If you believe in our love then why can't you see You told me live for my hopes Now it's the noose that's around my throat If I was your favorite one Where were you when I (where were you when I) Was coming undone? If I was your favorite one Then where were you when I finally found my way back home? (Finally found my way back home) You said you'd stay the same I always knew you'd change We can't let these chance here pass us by We'll regret it 'til the day we die So hard we tried, but it was never meant for you and I We'll always have the summer in our minds Different times We're still together in the parallels We never will divide If I was your favorite one Where were you when I (where were you when I) Was coming undone? If I was your favorite one The where were you when I finally found my way back home? (Finally found my way back home) You said you'd stay the same I always knew you'd change I always knew you'd change Go! You said you'd stay the same I always knew you'd change You said you'd stay the same I always knew you'd change If I was your favorite one Then where were you when I was busy coming undone? You turned your back on me And said you couldn't understand why I needed these dreams If I was your favorite one Then where were you when I finally found my way back home? You turned your back on me And said you couldn't understand why I needed these dreams If I was your favorite one Where were you when I (where were you when I) Was coming undone? If I was your favorite one Then where were you when I finally found my way back home? (Finally found my way back home) You said you'd stay the same I always knew you'd change I always knew you'd change

Well honestly she's been bugging me for days With a bag full of dynamite & alcoholic drinks Hot mess with a tight little body and I can't put her out As the whole city screams My body sleeps I'll burn this motherfucker down I said, burn baby burn! I said, burn baby burn! She's never looked so good before Now that she's strapped with enough bombs to tear apart The whole world (now that you're all ears) The whole world, yeah I just can't stop undressing you Cause I know you want it anyway I gripped the thighs of the devil And I made 'em shake up under me Cause I just can't stop undressing you Cause I know you want it anyway I gripped the thighs of the devil And I made 'em shake up under me Up under me, c'mon! Girl rock that body like boom Girl shake that ass like boom Girl rock your body like you're a ticking time bomb and you're ready to blow Girl rock that body like boom Girl shake that ass like boom Girl rock your body like you're a ticking time bomb and you're ready to blow Come on! I just can't stop undressing you Cause I know you want it anyway I gripped the thighs of the devil And I made 'em shake up under me Cause I just can't stop undressing you Cause I know you want it anyway I gripped the thighs of the devil And I made 'em shake up under me Up under me, c'mon! I said, burn baby burn! I said, burn baby burn! If you're strapped with a good time baby c'mon Girls scream cocaine, rock 'n roll If you're strapped with a good time baby c'mon Girls scream cocaine, rock 'n roll Bitch you best be running We're on your heels Bitch you best be running We're on your heels Bitch you best be running We're coming for those heels Oh shit!

Apparently we're not safe here my dear and it's clear We're paying double for mistakes we've made We've gotta find a way out. But there's not one here it seems The nightmare's always worse when it escapes from your dream Oh dear God such a terrible price we've paid I can't believe how this is happening Eternal dancing round this labyrinth There's no way to resist the eclipse casting over our minds And I was hoping for love, not despair, in my mind We knew this day was coming We felt it for some years We knew the day would come when we would have to face our fears We knew this day was coming We felt it for some years We knew the day would come when we would have to face our fears Now I just can't get the latch on this cape to lock Can't be your Superman. I'm nobody's hero Got us dancing like we're puppets. I see the strings Pantheons of terror living inside the dream And I was hoping for love, not despair, in my dream Apparently we're not safe here my dear and it's clear We're paying double for mistakes we've made We've gotta find a way out. But there's not one here it seems The nightmare's always worse when it escapes from your dreams I'm guessing that we've reached the end of our rope I hear the Reaper's call sounding out into the night Goodbye my love, I think the iceberg just struck the ship While we're locked lip in lip, begin our frozen descent Just as he reached for her My mind regained its consciousness and fire to live You won't take our lives here now, oh no You're the one who's gonna wind up dead These comments brought Him humor As the sound of laughter resonated forth from his head With a wicked wink and a grin He took in my final breath of courage and with it that foul beast said Just relax while I watch you die Victory shall be mine There is no escape for what I have planned for you to- There is no escape for what I have planned for you tonight

To all my friends These are the times we won't forget We watched the hands of God Take the life of a desperate, hopeless man So lifeless, and so desperate This is a sickness And it claims the body of us all We can't hide the fact that we're dying slowly Slowly, but surely oh, death has a number for us all Where will you be at the curtain call? To all my friends (to all my friends) These are the times that we won't forget We can't forget As the fire burns In the hearts of those Who have suffered the consequence We won't forget We won't forget the fire in the eyes [Of a man] Of a man with a passion to survive [Goodbye my friend] Goodbye my friend. I pray to God I see your face [In the end] In the end, I just can't understand If you could only see See through eyes of a dying man So lifeless Its something we can't understand Its hard to think that death can sneak up so silently Its safe to say that we're out of control You can't sit still, oh no, and watch this life here pass you by Some of us won't even get the chance to try Get the chance to try and escape such horrible fate We won't forget We won't forget the fire in the eyes [Of a man] Of a man with a passion to survive [Goodbye my friend] Goodbye my friend. I pray to God I see your face [In the end] In the end, I just can't understand Just can't understand To all my friends, these are the times we won't forget I never had a chance to say goodbye To all my friends [to all my friends] These are the times we won't forget. I never had a chance to say Goodbye, I never had the chance to say This sickness eats us alive from the inside Don't ever take this life for granted. This sickness eats us alive from the inside Don't take this life for granted.
