Love Where have you gone? ‘Cause I can’t feel you in my heart Have you moved on? Love Why you so strange? I don’t wanna play along This wicked game ‘Cause I will never I will never Be the same Love In slow decay At the bottom of my heart There’s no escape Love The bitter taste I still taste you on my tongue I get no relief I will never I will never Be the same Oh the truth can hit so hard Lies will leave a nasty scar The heart ruptures and deranges Her love is strange I will never I will never Be the same Ever I have changed Never Be the same Never Ever Love is strange Love is strange Her love is strange Her love is…

My Weakness 04:19
I woke from a dream I heard angels calling me over To the other side of heaven’s door I had to wake couldn’t take it no more ‘Cause I brood and I seethe I lust and I feen A love that’s pure unnatural I can’t restrain myself no more She’s my weakness Oh my weakness The scratch I gotta itch Oh lord I must confess My weakness My heart’s a mess Just thinking ’bout that kiss She’s a drug I want so hard to wanna kick Out on the ledge she loosens my grip Now I rust and I bleed I’m sick and diseased I’ll never knock on heaven’s door When I’m dead lay me deep n’ low She’s my weakness Oh my weakness The scratch I gotta itch Oh lord I must confess My weakness Girl I need you I would bleed for you Deep red blood until my well runs dry She’s my weakness Oh my weakness The scratch I gotta itch Oh lord I must confess Oh my weakness She’s my weakness The scratch I gotta itch Oh lord I must confess The smack I gotta hit She knows I can’t resist Scratch that itch Confess She is my weakness

I could creep into your mind If you would welcome me inside I could slip in through a vein Relieve your pain for a while We all need to escape The tension of real life Release the rat from the maze Or let the pressure build inside The Boogie The Boogie The Boogie The Boogie Woogie Woogie The Boogie I’ll be your Your Boogie Woogie Woogie So are you hip to the scene Partake in the sickest disease Yeah with the kids it’s a hit Lose your mind just to forget I’m just the latest craze You know I’m all the rage Knocking door to door Sweeping through your town I go The Boogie The Boogie The Boogie The Boogie Woogie Woogie The Boogie I’ll be your Your Boogie Woogie Woogie So now I got my talons sunk in And the habit worn your soul thin Chemical parasite I’m leeching underneath your skin I am the latest craze You’re just a rat in a maze Knocking door to door Sweeping through your town I’m calling ya The Boogie The Boogie The Boogie The Boogie Woogie Woogie The Boogie I’ll be your I am the Boogie Woogie Woogie

The Hurt 03:42
I can’t hold back The hurt Momma, my baby Oh the hurt That awful pain My poor heart strains Oh the hurt I can’t go on The hurt Living like this Oh the hurt I’ll go insane My worn mind strays Oh the hurt You cut me down With your whipping switch Blow after blow I feel bewitched But momma can you feel The winds of change I’m gonna leave you girl But never be the same Oh the hurt Oh the hurt You cut me down With your whipping switch Blow after blow I feel bewitched But momma can you hear That midnight train I’m gonna leave you girl You know i must refrain Oh oh oh from the hurt Oh the hurt The hurt

The river is wide When the tide is high Harboring you Innocence hides The devil inside Deep in you From the sea Through the reeds Creatures take you Piece by piece And there he lays Just under the waves Through and through The river she cries And the willow replied Don’t weep for him Now the hour is late The witch will awake To stir her brew Mosquitos are rife Eat you alive Prick by prick They stuck you dry A lone violin For the killer within Cries for you The amber it bleeds Down from the trees In a silent hue Above in the sky The all-seeing eye Glares down at you Only heaven knows What in hell bellows And it pulls you down Bone by bone And there you’ll stay In a fiery grave Sealed in doom

Satan trade my soul Sex, drugs, alcohol I can’t get my fill The thrill of the kill Yeah Blow it away Blow it away Blow it away Everything always Excess overflows Roll it, smoke it all Never-ending trip My head on a stick Yeah Blow it away Blow it away Blow it away Everything always I can’t stop now tasted forbidden fruit Life on high I’m drunk on the juice Taste it! Serpent tempt’ the brutes Doe-eyed n’ strung out from God’s noose Everything always Everything always Everything always Everything oww Satan trade my soul Sex, drugs, alcohol I can’t get my fill The thrill of the… Blow it away (Everything always) Blow it away (Everything always) Blow it away (Everything always) Blow it away (Everything always)

The Slew 05:17
I was a man, who’s name, has escaped me Caught in the grip, of a death, I’m erasing And as I flew, I could see, all my failings One step removed, from the slew, I am fading out Fading Swooning the slew, endless dream, of new being Formed on the wind, the first breath, of born babies Almost could see, came to be, how you made me Thrust from her womb, un-cocooned, I came pouring out Pouring out Pouring out Pouring out Pouring Deep in my bones, through my soul, ruminating Now I foresee, it’s but a dream, my own making Calls from the slew, déjà vs, recollecting This will repeat, c’est la vie, spiral round And then? And then? The slew is calling you The slew The slew is calling you The slew The slew is calling you The slew The slew is calling you The slew I was a man, who’s name, has escaped me Caught in the grip, of a death, I’m erasing And as I flew, I could see, all my failings One step removed, from the slew, I am fading out And out The slew is calling you The slew The slew is calling you The slew

The Highway 03:46
Out on the highway A killer broods in everyone The world in decay In flames under burning sun We scattered our thorns now run barefoot There’s an ill wind blowing that blows no good Out on the highway baby Will the good in us overcome? Out on the highway There’s salvation through a loaded gun Whatever it takes To escape from what is coming Wolves come out of the deep dark woods When the smell of fear just tastes too good Out on the highway baby Could you do it when the time comes? Yeh the highway The worst in man has overrun The world has derailed At the hands of devil’s sons The horse has run, slipped through our reins Step out of the pan and into the flames Yeh the highway baby The nightmare has just begun

Angler 05:16
Over the fortress wall Head down the darkest hole Travel the dead end road Your trail has long gone cold Journey into the deep A dream within a dream Your mind dialed And I answered the call The longest corridor Leads to an unhinged door The point of no return Plunge to oblivion I’ve waited centuries Sharpening ten thousand teeth And just when You thought all hope was gone
