01 ASHES

Ring a ring of roses
A pocket full of posies
Atichoo atichoo
We all fall down
Ashes in the water
Ashes in the sea
Ashes on the riverside
One two three

02 RATS

In times of turmoil
In times like these
Beliefs, contagious
Spreading disesase

This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls
Never to let go
Never to let go

Them rats

Into your sanctum
You let them in
Now all your loved ones
And all your kin

Will suffer punishments beneath the wrath of God
Never to forgive
Never to forgive

Them rats
Rats
Rats
Rats

This devastation left your cities to be burnt
Never to return
Never to return

Them filthy rodents are still coming for your souls
Never to let go
Never to let go

Them rats
Rats
Rats
Rats
They're still coming after you
There is nothing you can do
They're still coming after you
There is nothing you can do
Rats

03 FAITH

There is a scourge in the guise of sanctity
A perpetrator with a quill
Although it's often steeped in well spun mystery
The accuser sends a bill, yeah

I am all eyes, I am all ears
I am the wall and I'm watching you fall
Because faith is mine

The luddites shun the diabolical
A fecal trail across the land
Although it stinks, feels and looks identical
A pack of fools can take the stand, ha

I am all eyes, I am all ears
I am the wall and I'm watching you fall
Because faith is mine

I am all eyes, I am all ears
I am the wall and I'm watching you fall

I am all eyes, I am all ears
I am the wall and I'm watching you fall

I am all eyes, I am all ears
I am the wall and I'm watching you fall
Because faith is mine

04 SEE THE LIGHT

Many a sin I have witnessed
and in many indeed I have been
Many a rat I've befriended
And so many a thorn stood between

But of all of the demons I have known
None could compare to you

Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light
Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light

Many a mind I have haunted
And in many a way I have been
Often the one to have flaunted
An image grotesque and obscene

But of all these dark roads that I roam
None could compare to you
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light
Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light

Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light
Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light

06 DANCE MACABRE

You will soon be hearing the chime
Close to midnight
If I could turn back the time
I'd make all right

How can it end like this
There is a sting in the way you kiss me
Something within your eyes said it could be the last time
Before it is over

Just want to be
I want to bewitch you in the moonlight
Just want to be I want to bewitch you all night

It keeps on giving me chills
But I know now
I feel the closer we get to the last bow

I don't want to end like this
But the sting in the way you kiss me
Something within your eyes said it could be the last time
Before it is over

Just want to be
I want to bewitch you in the moonlight
Just want to be
I want to bewitch you all night

Just want to be
I want to bewitch you
One last time in the ancient rite

Just want to be
I want to bewitch you all night

Just want to be
I want to bewitch you in the moonlight
Just want to be
I want to bewitch you all night

Just want to be
I want to bewitch you in the moonlight
Just want to be
I want to bewitch you all night all night, whoa

07 PRO MEMORIA

Lucifer whispering silently into your mind
Who walks behind, who walks behind

Standing strong invincible
But do not forget your knives
To save your lives, to save your lives

Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend Death
Don't you forget that you will die

Don't you vomit savage slurs
Spewed out wickedly
To hide from me, to hide from me
Navigate all alone on this tempestuous sea
To ride with me, to ride with me

Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend Death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend Death
Don't you forget that you will die

Lucifer whispering silently into your mind
Who walks behind, who walks behind
Had you had the chance today
You could have sold out too
Ain't that right, Swede Saint Peter

Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend Death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend Death
Don't you forget that you will die

Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend Death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend Death
Don't you forget that you will die

08 WITCH IMAGE

You have never stood this close
To where you want to be
You have always waded in the shallows
between me and the deep blue sea

You never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
You never want it to reach out to the edge of time
While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you've done, you can not undo

I have always kept you closer than you've known
I, I am riding in the shadows
Behind you on a pale white horse

You never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you've done you can not undo

While you sleep in earthly delight
Still your soul will suffer this plight
Like your father in hell
What you have sold you can not unsell

While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you'e done you can not undo
While you sleep in earthly delight
Still your soul will suffer this plight
But like a mother would save
Her own child from digging a grave

10 LIFE ETERNAL

Can you hear me say your name forever
Can you feel me longing for you forever
Would you let me touch your soul forever
Can you feel me longing for you forever, forever

I know the light grows darker down below
But in your eyes it is gone before you know
This is the moment of just letting go
She said if you had life eternal

Can you hear me say your name forever
Can you see me longing for you forever, forever
Would you let me touch your soul forever
Can you feel me longing for you forever, forever

We dance once more
I feel your hands are cold
Within your heard, a story to be told
This is the moment of just letting go
This is the moment of just letting go

This is the moment of just letting go
This is the moment of just letting go

Can you hear me say your name forever
Can you see me longing for you forever, forever
Would you let me touch your soul forever
Can you feel me longing for you forever and ever

Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever

If you had life eternal

11 IT'S A SIN

(Originally recorded by Pet Shop Boys)

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school, they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father you fought me
Cause I didn't care and I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

It's a sin
It's a sin, It's a sin

12 AVALANCHE

(Originally recorded by Leonard Cohen)

Well, I stepped into an avalanche
It covered up my soul
When I am not this hunchback that you see
I sleep beneath the golden hill
You who wish to conquer pain
You must learn, learn to serve me well

You strike my side by accident
As you go down for your gold
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
Is neither starved nor cold
He does not ask for your company
Not at the center, center of the world

When I am not on a pedestal
You did not raise me there
Your laws do not compel me
To kneel grotesque and bare
I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at which you stare

You who wish to conquer pain
Must learn what makes me kind
The crumbs of love that you offer me
They're the crumbs I've left behind
Your pain is no credential here
It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound

I have begun to long for you
I who have no greed
I have begun to ask for you
I who have no need
You say you've gone away from me
But I can feel you, feel you when you breathe

Do not dress in those rags for me
I know you are not poor
You don't love me quite so fiercely now
When you know that you're not sure
It is your turn, beloved
It is your flesh that I wear
