1. THE BONDAGE SONG

Innocent child,
How you thought you knew me,
Understood my ways,
My dark needs,
The hunt is not the thrill I'm after,
I want the kill, the conquest,
To be your master,
Wrap your arms around my pale skin,
It's too late to back out you're in,
On your knees and praise your new lord,
Deeper now, and here's your reward,

Take me to bed and rip me apart...


2. KISS

You'll never understand,
The meaning in the end,
We're standing at the gate,
You'll meet the darker fate,

Your purity and rage,
Your passion and your hate,
You promised more than bliss,
With your God and with your kiss,

I'm on my knees,
I beg your mercy,
My soul is my loss,
I'm well hung from your cross.

Take me,
Take me in your arms my love and rape me,
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me,
And always will,

You're my possession,
Of that my love there really is no question,
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
And always will,

My better half it's true
Has seen the darker side of you,
Innocence stripped away,
At least I've the brighter fate...


3. WHERE GOOD GIRLS GO TO DIE

Step into this picture
Release all your light
I think God has gone mad... here tonight

You can't believe your eyes,
Control is so hard to keep
Obsession can be hell
From which you'll never be free
It's all for the taking, here tonight

Where good girls go to die
That's where I'll be
Waiting for my love with my heart on my sleeve

Forget about the future
Forget about the past.
My heart beats so,
My hands are cold
Please God make this moment last

You seek to fill me
With virtues I lack
I'll turn your pure white wings to pure black.

You've pushed too far and now
You've lost control can't you see?
You thought you were the master
But you're down on your knees.
It's all for the taking, here tonight

Where good girls go to die
That's where I'll be,
Remembering our love as if it were a disease.

Forget about the future
It wasn't meant to last
My heart beats slow my hands are cold
Oh God it's the end at last.


4. PSYCHO MAGNET

Such a wretched waste of time
Such a fool to be so blind
Serpents hide behind your eyes
And I'm their prey tonight

Can we end this mind fuck please, your treachery's beyond Belief
Must you bring us to our knees with your psychopathic Tendencies?
Please be gone and rest assured I see you as you are, Perverse
With all your lies and empty words- I fear for you there Is no cure.

Here we go another game
Designed to butcher someone's brain
Is that emotion I see feigned?
All reason's lost on the insane

Can we end this mind fuck please, your treachery's beyond
Belief
Must you bring us to our knees with your psychopathic Tendencies?
Please be gone and rest assured I see you as you are, Perverse
With all your lies and empty words- I fear for you there Is no cure.

Sincerity has not been found
Beneath your self appointed crown
These bitter tears in which I drown
Will soon be yours to drag you down

Can we end this mind fuck please, your treachery's beyond Belief
Must you bring us to our knees with your psychopathic Tendencies?
Please be gone and rest assured I see you as you are, Perverse
With all your lies and empty words- I fear for you there Is no cure.


5. SHATTER (ALL MY DEAD FRIENDS)

You're telling me
That I'm the most important thing to you,
But can't you see?
You're killing me with all the things you do,
And I really want to believe it's impossible
I really want to believe it's all a dream,
But I just can't seem to wake up,
I just can't seem to turn on the light,
One step off the edge
And the world will seem all right

You did it again,
Yes you in the mirror,
You put your faith in a cruel world,
All my dead friends come to haunt, harm and hinder, never Letting go,
Here to drag me down to Hell,
Just say goodbye...

Just answer me,
What was the point of all that treachery,
And soon we'll see
The truth behind all of your blasphemy,

No never again
I'll never trust no one again,
I'd sooner slit my wrists and risk discovery of Hell,
Than stay another moment here where certain Devils Dwell...


6. A LETTER TO GOFD

Is this life this degradation
This pointless game, humiliation
Born to die, we're born to lose
And not one choice we make we choose
And when this life is at an end
We find that Death's our only friend
Must we suffer through your games, oh Lord?
Can God really be so bored?

We waste our lives destroying, hating,
While beneath our flesh a skull lies waiting
Blind to beauty blind to love,
We fear of our loving Lord above
Some live their lives to play their games,
Some live as victims, the insane
Your experiment oh Lord has failed
And I trust that when we meet you will forgive us

It's futile so I'll end this note
And find a knife and slit my throat
And come to track you down oh Lord
You better watch your back,
Be sure that when we meet you'll be surprised
No loving praise, no glee filled cries
Just pain and hate and tear filled sighs
And the question in the end is "Why?"


7. CARRY ON SCREAMING (LIVE)

I've knelt at your alter
I've cut out my heart
I've lived in your Ruins
My pain is your art

My wrists are bound tight so as not to bleed
My eyes were so dark so as not to see
The memories of the past
Are fading like a bad dream

I've never been so alone than with you,
I've never been scared to dream until now,
I can't close my eyes,
I'll carry on, screaming

Your words are like ice,
They melt in the heat
The cold and the pain
Which you seem to breed
Have become what you are
And left your ruins empty...


8. HATE !

Oh the witching time,
Like a blackened pearl.
Oh how useless seem
The offers of this world.
A shroud is wrapped and bound,
To Gallows led away
Though innocence is mine.
The dog will have his day.

All the Love turned to Hate,
The blade is in too deep and your repentance comes too Late.

Oh wits misery,
The madness of your stay.
The best revenge,
A price which you must pay.

The children hide behind,
Behind their little masks.
They are, at their games,
The only ones who laugh.

All the Love turned to Hate,
The blade is in too deep and your repentance comes too Late.

So did I deserve,
Your lies and treachery.
The curtain closes now.
The bell, it tolls for thee.

All your lies, all your shame.
And it drives you even madder that you've got yourself to Blame.


9. Blessing

10. THE CHRISTMAS SONG

In this world of snow and cold I'll hide
In this world of ice I've built with pride
Of all things that I'd most like to receive
There's just one thing I really want this Christmas Eve
I believe, I believe it's you

I know youre out there waiting in the cold
All shimmering and blue and warm to hold
But if I try and really do believe
I'll get just what I'm waiting for this Christmas Eve
I believe, I believe it's you

Nothing can compare
Nothing can come close to you
Nothing can compare
Nothing else will ever do

Buried in the snow I'll wait for you
And keep on wishing 'till my dreams come true
I feel your touch, it melts the world away
And we'll be together in the light of Christmas Day
Far away, far away with you.

12. ATMOSPHERE (LIVE)

Pale and Dark and Tortured Blue,
Behind a veil you find serenity.
I guess that's something we share,
Violently fading into nothing to find peace,
Or escape it.

Curious, majestic black strands cover you entirely,
Yet I may there.
Always being tested,
An eternal game that must leave your soul in shreds,
As it does mine.
You have my sympathy,

But forget about everything just for tonight
For this moment in life,
This moment in time
Could be your first,
Or your last.
You abandoned hope long ago,
You abandoned love,
Or it abandoned you,

But now is the time for beauty,
Violent beauty so pure it's scary,
The past is over,
This is something new,
Altogether alien, exotic, and welcome,
Erasing what came before,
With a blink of her amazing eyes...


13. A LETTER TO GOD (LIVE)

(See lyrics on track 6)


14. UNTITLED

Twilight... the leaves fall,
The ground... is oh so cold.
Sing about God,
Sing on his death!
Sing about love
And sing about sex.
Your great mystery's a lie,
Hypocrisy's the rule. Sing on.
The. Death... of God!

Of darkness and light,
Of heaven and hell,
Of sinful delights.
Beneath our feet lie shattered wings,
Our screams bring the awakening of God...

So say goodbye to torture and lies,
And if there's a God pray he opens his eyes.
His angels aren't the master race,
We'll tell him when we're face to face with God.
