Bat Country

He who makes a beast out of himself Gets rid of the pain of being a man Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay. I tried to drive all through the night, The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights. No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me. Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone). Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction. My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone). No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention. As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights. My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite. Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right. Mental fiction follows me; show me what it's like to be set free. Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone). Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction. My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone). No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention. So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear. Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem. Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay. These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today. Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die, We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives. We may get some solutions but more just pass us by, Don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right. I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man. Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone). Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction. My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone). No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention. So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear. Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem. I've known it from the start all these good ideas will tear your brain apart. Scared but you can follow me I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.


Beast and The Harlot


This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence There's more than meets the eye round here look to the waters of the deep. A city of evil There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head Symbolic woman sits on his thrown but hatred strips her and leaves her naked. The Beast and the Harlot. She's a dwelling place for demons, she's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings. Fallen now is Babylon the Great. The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn. Destroyed in an hour Merchants and captains of the world, sailors navigators too Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky The Beast and the Harlot. The day has come for all us sinners, if your not a servant you'll be struck to the ground. Flee the burning, greedy city looking back on her to see there's nothin' around. I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell, but we made the wrong decision And it's easy to see. Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us your Welcome to the city where your future is set forever.


Afterlife


Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be Arrived too early And when I think of all the places I just don't belong I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife ’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall) No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall) So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign I've made up my mind Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife ’Cause this time I'm ready to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might take me back inside when the time is right Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they're already missing me I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be (I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy) Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live) *Solo* (Screaming) (Laughing) I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife ’Cause this time I'm ready to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might take me back inside when the time is right


A Little Piece Of Heaven


Before the story begins, is it such a sin, for me to take what's mine, until the end of time We were more than friends, before the story ends, And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design Our love had been so strong for far too long, I was weak with fear that something would go wrong, before the possibilities came true, I took all possibility from you Almost laughed myself to tears, conjuring her deepest fears Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times, I can't believe it, Ripped her heart out right before her eyes, Eyes over easy, eat it eat it eat it She was never this good in bed even when she was sleepin' now she's just so perfect I've never been quite so fucking deep in it goes on and on and on, I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever, with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever ’Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs and I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye and a word to the wise when the fire dies you think it's over but it's just begun but baby don't cry You had my heart, at least for the most part ’cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart let's make a new start ’cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah but baby don't cry Now possibilities I'd never considered, are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard, Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave, to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved Smiling right from ear to ear Almost laughed herself to tears Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times I can't believe it Ripped his heart out right before his eyes Eyes over easy Eat it eat it eat it Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave I gotta make up for what I've done ’Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven while you burned in hell, no peace forever ’Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs and I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye and a word to the wise when the fire dies you think it's over but it's just begun but baby don't cry You had my heart, at least for the most part ’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart Let’s make a new start ’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah But baby don't cry I will suffer for so long (What will you do, not long enough) To make it up to you (I pray to God that you do) I'll do whatever you want me to do (Well then I’ll grant you a chance) And if it's not enough (If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough) If it's not enough (Not enough) Try again (Try again) And again (And again) Over and over again We’re coming back, coming back We’ll live forever, live forever Let’s have wedding, have a wedding Let’s start the killing, start the killing Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life? (Yes, I do.) Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life? (I do.) I now pronounce you... ’Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs and I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye And a word to the wise when the fire dies you think it's over but it's just begun but baby don't cry You had my heart, at least for the most part ’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart Let’s make a new start ’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah But baby don't cry
