GODLESS
-------
Godless feeling in me
Night after night
Whoa, godless feeling in me
Born of their lies
Oh, oh, yea

You gave me all of this and more, yea, that's for sure
I can't believe in all your pain
Under the draining of a Christian diety's blood
You tell your children they're insane, yea

I couldn't love it anymore
I had to listen to my heart
I couldn't take it anymore
And so you leave me godless

Just spread your tentacles of hate around my life
I've taken more than you could ever give
You can't believe that someone challenges your right
I'm gonna send you back your pain

Yea
I couldn't love it anymore
I had to listen to my heart
I couldn't take it anymore
And so you leave me godless

I ask all who have gathered here
To join me
In this feast
May we always be strong in body
Spirit
And mind
And all those
Who would try
To harm us
Let them be cast aside
Oh


ANYTHING
--------
Anything you want
Anything the world has to offer
I can give you
If you just reach out to me
Take my hand
Everything a kiss cannot bring
I will give you
If you just say you will

And it's freedom in my arms
And it's freedom in my arms
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms, yea

Anything you want
Anything this world has to offer
I can give you, yea
All this world and its glories
And its sins
I will give it all to you
Take my hand
If you just say you will

And it's freedom in my arms
And it's freedom in my
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms

Anything you want
It's in my arms
Anything you need
It's in my arms
Anything you want
It's in my arms
Anything you need
It's in

In my arms
In my arms
In my arms

Anything you want
It's in my arms
Anything you need
It's in my arms
Anything you want
It's in my loving arms
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms


BODIES
------
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies, don't die
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies

I been taking all the silver
I been saving all the gold
I'm gonna stuff it down the throat
Of a week old corpse
Save that doggone soul

I been saving up my pain
I'm gonna give it back in spades
I been strangling the cries
From the murder of love
Save your soul tonight

Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies, don't die
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies

I'm gonna save

I been raising up the dead
Gonna send them to the house of Cain
I been praying in light
Of the waning moon
Slay your doggone soul

I been taken out of heaven
I been put upon this world
I been walking up and down
To and fro
To save your doggone soul

I got bodies on the left
I got bodies on the right
I got bodies up and down
All across town
Save your soul tonight

Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies, don't die
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies

I got bodies on the left
I got bodies on the right
I got bodies up and down
All across town
Save your soul tonight

Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies
I'm gonna take 'em up
I'm gonna take 'em up
I'm gonna take 'em up
Oh yea
I'm gonna take 'em up


HOW THE GODS KILL
-----------------
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

If you feel alive
In a darkened room
Do you know the name
Of your solitude

If you ain't got the answer
If you don't know the truth
If you want the power
Then let it flow through

Would you let it go
Oh, would you let it go
Oh, would you let it go
Oh, oh, would you let it go

They cannot end this mourning of my life
Show me how the gods kill

Yea
If you feel alive
If you got no fear
Do you know the name
Of the one you seek
If you want the answer
If you want the truth
Look inside your empty soul
There you'll find the noose

Would you let it go
Oh, would you let it go
Oh, would you let it go
Oh, oh, would you let it go

They cannot end this mourning of my life
Show me how the gods kill

Yea, yea

Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh


DIRTY BLACK SUMMER
------------------
No summer in the wintertime
Will keep you warm
Like a funeral pyre
And nothing drips like an August night
Drenched in your loving

I got a dirty black summer
Yea, my dirty black summer
Yea, gimme black summer
Yea, my dirty black summer

And nothing in the coolest light
Can stop the walking out across the line
No holding back the summer night
I got a feeling

It's just a dirty black summer
For the world
A black summer time
For the world

Dirty black summer
Yea, my dirty black summer
Yea, gimme black summer
Yea, my dirty black summer

Yea, come on, bring me

Dirty black summer
Yea, my dirty black summer
Come on, gimme black summer time
Yea, my dirty black summer

No summer in the wintertime
Will keep you warm
Like a funeral pyre
And nothing drips like an August night
I got a feeling

I'm on a dirty black summer
For the world
Yea, my summer time
For the world
Yea, my summer time
For the world
Yea, my summer time
For the world

Dirty black summer
Yea, my dirty black summer
Yea, gimme black summer
Yea, my dirty black summer

Yea, gimme black summer time
Yea, my dirty black summer
Yea, gimme black summer
Yea, my dirty black summer
Yea


LEFT HAND BLACK
---------------
Kinda like a dog with seven pupils in its eye
Kinda like a madness that refuses to subside
Kinda like everything you want, just within your grasp
Kinda like how a banshee-wail dances on a living heart

I'm gonna stand at the top of the world
And challenge the heavens
Gonna bring you god
Gonna bring you god
In the palm of the left hand black
Gonna bring you god

Kinda like when the sun goes down and darkness makes its climb
Kinda like all your muscle tissue starting to unwind
Kinda like if you brave the hate, feed it to the left hand black
How I know I can take their power, send it back at triple times its strength
Yea

I'm gonna stand at the top of the world
And challenge the heavens
Gonna bring you god
Gonna bring you god
In the palm of the left hand black, yea
Gonna bring you god

How I see the battle and the bleeding human race
How I miss the taste of it, its sweet and warm embrace
How I see the world's demise, its last and final gasp
How I see reality explode into another kind of life, well

I'm gonna stand at the top of the world
And challenge the heavens
Gonna bring you god
Gonna bring you god
In the palm of the left hand black, yea
Gonna bring you god

Gonna bring you god
Gonna bring you god
In the palm of the left hand black, yea
Gonna bring you god


HEART OF THE DEVIL
------------------
I am heart of the devil
I have heart of the devil

I am heart of the devil
I have heart of the devil

I can make a man
Freeze in his tracks
I can make a man
Fall to his death
I can make a girl
So eager to please
I can make a young girl
Lay down for me

Because I'm evil
And love is gone

I can make the skies
Thunder and shake
I can make the world
Tremble and quake
I can make your pulse
Pound in your veins
I can make your heart
Stop and start again

Because I'm evil
Yea, love is gone
Because I'm evil
Yea

Because I'm evil
Yea, love is gone

I can make the world
Tremble and shake
I can make the skies
Black in my wake, yea
I can make a girl
So eager to please
I can make a young girl
Lay down for me

Because I'm evil
And love is gone
My love is gone

Because I'm evil
And love is gone
My love is gone
Yea
Yea yea


SISTINAS
--------
Take my hand
You'll never find another quite like mine
If you look
You'll see that I'm a lonely one

I lost my soul deep inside
Oh, and it's so black and cold
Deep inside

Sistine smile
You'll never know the trap it's set
And if you did
You'd never look into its eyes again

I lost my soul deep inside
Oh, and it's so black and cold
Deep inside

Yea, the sun don't shine
The wind won't blow
When you go hide
Yea, without your love
I'm lonely deep inside

You'll never find another quite like it
And if you do
You'll see that I'm a lonely one

I lost my soul deep inside
Oh, and it's so black and cold
Deep inside

Yea, the sun don't shine
The wind won't blow
When you go hide
Yea, without your love
I'm lonely deep inside


DO YOU WEAR THE MARK
--------------------
Devil on the left
An angel on the right
There's no mistake
Who I'll be with tonight

And over in the fore
A lamb's head on my lap
Days pass like weeks
Without the sight

Then comes the fury of the lullaby
Then comes the fury of the lullaby

A heartbeat in a hole
An eyeball loose and wild
Dropping memories
Out upon the open tiles
And over to the left
There sit the loveless ones
Crying slowly
And sucking on a gun

Then comes the fury of the lullaby
Then comes the fury of my lullaby

Yea
Do you wear the mark
Do you wear the mark
Darling, darling
Do you wear the mark
Darling, do you wear the mark
Darling, do you wear the mark
Darling darling
Do you wear the mark

Yea
I've got a new trick to show you
I think you're gonna like it


WHEN THE DYING CALLS
--------------------
Out of the night comes
A timeless thing
Calm in simplicity
Whispers soft
A seductive voice
Meant for the human ear

Down, down, down
I'm gonna take you down
That's when the dying calls

If I look
In the dark of the world
If I lose I don't mind
That's when the dying calls

Down through the ages
From the dawn of time
Roam through the world of dreams
Up from the black
Of the Mississippi mud
Calling out to everything

Down, down, down
I'm gonna bring you down
That's when the dying calls

If I play in the dark of the world
If I lose I don't mind
That's when the dying calls

That's when the dying calls, yea
That's when the dying calls

If I play in the dark of this world
And if I lose I don't mind
That's when the dying calls

That's when the dying calls
That's when the dying calls
When the dying calls

Up from the black of night
That's when the dying calls
Down from the dawn of time
When the dying calls

If I play in the dark of the world
And if I lose I don't mind
That's when the dying calls, yea
