Devildriver : Pray for Villains
Lyrics
1. PRAY FOR VILLAINS
Bitter blood on the blood-stained highway
We're brothers in arms 'til we get it right
You're gonna want it your way, it's gonna be done now
Don't take it too far, gonna get it right
Move on, from the past, agree to disagree
Every sorrow has its source, and your conscience isn't free
In the dog days of Summer, on another sober September
This, was, meant, for, you
Am I not my brother's keeper? all is what it seems to be
I'm a strong rival, a bitter enemy, best friend
(Best friend), till the end
(Till the end), the, man, you, wish, to, be, yeah
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let them down
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let, them, down
Let them down, let them down
The ties that bind, he clock that winds
As the oceans meet the sky, on the hour of my death
Will you be standing by
Every sorrow has its source, and your conscience isn't free
In the dog days of summer, on another sober September
This, was, meant, for, you
Am I not my brother's keeper? all is what it seems to be
I'm a strong rival, a bitter enemy, best friend
(Best friend), till the end
(Till the end), the, man, you, wish, to, be, yeah
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let them down
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let, them, down
Let them down, let them down
Bless, the broken road, as we limp back home
You get off, on the sound, of everything coming down, so down
Down, down, down, walk down the broken, road
They pray for villains
(They pray for villains), when their heroes, let them down
(Let, them, down)
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let, them, down
Let them down, let them down.
2. PURE SINCERITY
Dying is easy, it's living that's hard
It's so disturbing to hear what you're fearing
Rain of terror out in the cold
Give em what they want, give em what they need
Pure, sincerity, pure, sincerity
It's what made me born from, insanity, pure, sincerity, pure
Questions asked, the answers come quickly
Remorse can be so dangerous, wolf in the fold
Terror within, out in the cold
Give em what they want, give em what they need
Pure, sincerity, pure, sincerity
It's what made me born from, insanity, pure, sincerity
The things I am, the things that I've become
The wings of honor, son, of father
Don't know if I can stand, where I once fucking stood
If I could, if I could, don't you think I fucking would
Things, to come, it must be from the heart, things, to come
Are these shadows, of things, from the past?
Are these the shadows, of things to come?
Things come, to come, things to come
Where do we go?
(Where do we go?), where do we go?
Pure, sincerity, pure, sincerity
It's what made me born from, insanity, pure, sincerity.
3. FATE STEPPED IN
Fate
Peddlers, pushers, insects, the chants, charms
Blow sweat and beer, I've got bones to throw
It's no secret, secrets aren't, bought and sold
You gotta pay, with your heart and soul
We're all laid low by the hand, so get your head up
Get your head up outta the sand, so get your head up
The lion, will eat the heart, serpents coil from the start
What did you hope to achieve?
Along side rides, one with great, destiny
Fate stepped in to, lend a hand again
Fate stepped in to, lend a hand (x2)
Echoes, from, the, grave
Potions, oils, insects, their chants, charms
Blood sweat and beer, I've got bones to throw
It's no secret, secrets aren't bought and sold
You gotta pay, with your heart and soul
We're all laid low by the hand, so get your head up
Get your head up outta the sand, so get your head up
The lion, will eat the heart, serpents coil from the start
What did you hope to achieve?
Along side rides, one with great, destiny
Fate stepped in to, lend a hand again
Fate stepped in to, lend a hand (x2)
Echoes, from, the, grave
Watching, the vultures, swarm
Like being tied down, in the midday sun
(In the midday sun)
Echoes, from, the, grave
From the grave, from the grave (x2)
From the grave, from the grave.
4. BACK WITH A VENGEANCE
From counted out to feared, some say
That I'm back with a vengeance, I never left
I smell your fear, cause I'm back with a vengeance
Bruised, tattered and torn, if it's punishing
Overtimes even the score
Don't start thinking that, you've got the best of me
I've got some news for you, you ain't seen the last of me (x2)
No
One foot in Hell, up on the highway
Now I'm back with a vengeance, no matter what I've said
The vendetta's not dead, I'm back with a vengeance
Bruised, tattered and torn, if it's punishing
Overtimes even the score
Don't start thinking that, you've got the best of me
I've got some news for you, you ain't seen the last of me (x2)
No, the last of me, no, the last of me
No, I've got some news for you, you ain't seen the last of me, no
I've been waiting all this time, because time is on my side
Not in the future, time is now, because time is on my side
On my side
Don't start thinking that, you've got the best of me
I've got some news for you, you ain't seen the last of me (x2)
No, the last of me, no, the last of me
No, I've got some news for you, you ain't seen the last of me
No, the last of me, no, don't you ever think
No, I've got some news for you, you ain't seen the last of me
No, don't you ever think, no, you have, seen the last of me.
5. I'VE BEEN SOBER
Lord I miss the highway, running against the wind
Blessed are the stoned, and all the places they've been
Shadow of a man at home, beating a dead horse
Home too long, cross to bear
Methods of the past mold the future
You can't fall short as you get, older
Being run around is being trapped
(Trapped, trapped), seized up
(Up, up), kept
Wear the chains you forged in life, link, by link, by link (x2)
I've been sober, 13 days and 7 nights
I know next time I'll get it right, you tried to make me stay
I said, no way, grabbed my bag and hit the highway, highway
Echoes in the dark, new faces bring the sun
Comfort and disturbed, always think the worst
You live and die by your own decisions
You live and die by your own religion
Being run around is being trapped
(Trapped, trapped), seized up
(Up, up), kept
Wear the chains you forged in life, link, by link, by link (x2)
I've been sober, 13 days and 7 nights
I know next time I'll get it right, you tried to make me stay
I said, no way, grabbed my bag and hit the highway (x2)
Sobriety suits you so well
It suits you so well (x3)
It suits you so well, so well
(Suits you so well, suits you so well) (x4).
6. RESURRECTION BLVD.
She brings me nails and turpentine
All of this time, the girl was mine
I am in love, like a rusted dog
All of the time my head in the fog
Cats in the corners, dogs on the floor
Phone keeps ringing, she's asking for more
The spaces between places, I'm not worthy, leave me alone
You should have never, left me alive
You should have sat, and watched me die, die
Isn't it hard, living on Resurrection Boulevard?
Isn't it hard? Isn't it hard? (x2)
He bring me life, so full of smiles
All of this time, been friends for miles
Logging hours, laughing for days, talking shit, on others ways
Cats in the corners, dogs on the floor
Phone keeps ringing, she's asking for more
The spaces between places, I'm not worthy, leave me alone
You should have never, left me alive
You should have sat, and watched me die, die
Isn't it hard, living on Resurrection Boulevard?
Isn't it hard? Isn't it hard? (x2)
Isn't it hard? (x3)
Isn't it?
(You), you should have sat, and watched me die
(On Resurrection Boulevard)
(You), you should have never, left me alive
(Left me alive, alive)
Isn't it hard? Isn't it hard? on Resurrection Boulevard
Isn't it hard? on Resurrection Boulevard
Isn't it hard? Isn't it?
7. FORGIVENESS IS A SIX GUN
33rd degree, on the corner of Quit street
And Temptation Avenue
On the road to redemption, outside of Heaven
Pride can be dangerous and you knew
Method of Execution, length of duration, at what cost?
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a, six gun
The streets from the start, have been filled with doubt
And they, are set free, you needed someone to carry you
Fighting and counting the days, the error of your ways
Methods of execution, length of duration, at what cost?
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a, six gun
(Forgiveness is a six gun)
In cold blood, dressed in black, tombstones and tumbleweeds
Left the dead behind, watched em falling
Let Smith and Wesson do the motherfucking talking
Dust in my eyes, dust in the street, shotguns and broken dreams
Now we left the dead behind, watched em falling
Let the Smith and Wesson do the motherfucking talking, now
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun
There is no forgiveness (x4).
8. WAITING FOR NOVEMBER
A pain by any other name, is death before its time is due
You survived and made it through
Still inside the loss is buried deep
With what you went through at the funeral
Don't know how, you pushed on, buried your creator
Took
(Took), good care, such
(Such), kind care
You look so beautiful, at your funeral
Laid out and dressed your best
As your daughter put you to rest
You have such faith in life, can't tell you how many times
You've given me my backbone
Took
(Took), good care, such
(Such), kind care
You look so beautiful, at your funeral
Laid out and dressed your best
As your daughter put you to rest (x2)
Waiting for November, trying to make you smile
A birthday shared by two, Scorpio, child
You look so beautiful, at your funeral
Laid out and dressed your best
As your daughter put you to rest (x2)
To rest, so rest, so rest
Buried in, a far away place (x3).
9. IT'S IN THE CARDS
Between the head and hands, must surely be an heart
Time and space is an illusion for man
One foot in the grave, and one to start
Walking against the wind, living by the night
We're all thick as thieves sometimes, and I know it ain't, right
It's in the cards, written in the stars
Scratched on the walls of the bars, man
Where demons dwell, where demons dwell
Got scars in bars
(Knife fight), broke bones in arms
(Ducked a gunfight), it's hunters moon and I'll be gone soon
You stare like a goat, with a twisted smile
There's another motherfucker wants a fist fight
Bringing knives to a gun fight
We're all thick as thieves sometimes, and I know it ain't, right
It's in the cards, written in the stars
Scratched on the walls of the bars, man
Where demons dwell, where demons dwell (x2)
It's in the cards, written in the stars
Scratched on the walls of the bars, man
Where demons dwell, where demons dwell (x2)
Where demons dwell (x3).
10. ANOTHER NIGHT IN LONDON
Laying down the law, listen to the hammer
Mouth of madness, watch the wicked gather
Streets of stone, underneath the Grey skies
Nights come, they speak of Devils in disguise
It takes, people like you, to make, people like me
It takes, people like me, to make, people like you
Let's start a riot, another night in London
Let's start a riot, while the night is still young (x2)
While the night is still young
Shadows of light, not a glimpse of the sun
Going 'til morning, 'til the battles won
Streets of stone, underneath Grey skies
Nights come, they speak of Devils in disguise
It takes, people like you, to make, people like me
It takes, people like me, to make, people like you
Let's start a riot, another night in London
Let's start a riot, while the night is still young (x2)
Shots
(Shots), fired
(Fired), the sound of a new generation
No, future, no, revolution, for you, for you, for me
No fucking revolution for you
It takes, people like you, to make, people like me
It takes, people like me, to make, people like you
Let's start a riot, another night in London
Let's start a riot, while the night is still young (x2)
Shots
(Shots), fired
(Fired), fights
(Fights), while the night is still young.
11. BITTER PILL
Turn your tired eyes home, put the sword to stone
Death by boredom, the reach man bears the burden
That the poor man seeks to chase, the chase is certain
Did not see it coming, better stand for something
They're wicked as they come, break the cycle
Racing down the flames, while building the coffins
Iron unbroken, break the cycle
It's a bitter pill, such a bitter pill to swallow (x2)
I've broke the cycle, after all these years
Death by boredom, not afraid to reveal
What the world is sensing, the chase is certain
Did not see it coming, better stand for something
They're wicked as they come, break the cycle
Racing down the flames, while building the coffins
Iron unbroken, break the cycle
It's a bitter pill, such a bitter pill to swallow (x2)
Silence is my, companion
With pride it's going worldwide
It's spreading worldwide, across the great divide (x2)
Healer,
(Healer), believer
(Believer), on the bended knee, when push comes to shove
Healer,
(Healer), believer
(Believer), time and time again, you push me too far
It's a bitter pill, such a bitter pill to swallow (x2)
It's a bitter pill, such a bitter pill (x3)
Such a bitter pill to swallow.
12. TEACH ME TO WHISPER
Trouble is on its way, it's, on, it's, way
Another day, another decision
One that eventually, affects us both
Teach me to whisper, cause I feel like screaming
Teach me to whisper
Anger and hatred are their oars
Revenge their vessel, be strong, be patient
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
This is your conscience speaking, spare your spirit
Trouble is on its way, it's on its way, teach me to whisper
Cause I feel like screaming, teach me to whisper
Anger and hatred are their oars
Revenge their vessel, be strong, be patient
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
Behold the destroyer, by the hand of man
Death be delivered (x2)
Anger and hatred are their oars
Revenge their vessel, be strong, be patient
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of.
13. I SEE BELIEF
Death rides a horse, full force, burning bridges
Put asunder, this I'm under, one face, one oath, one truth
Easy money consorts with easy virtue
Sing you sinners, silent thunder, the joy of rapture
Riding the bullet, It can't be captured
One face, one oath, one truth
Easy money consorts with easy virtue
No methods to their madness, It's gonna be a long hot winter
I, see, belief, when no one else does
I, see, belief, when no one else does
Hope dies, better off think of one
Hope dies, these rules are for fools
One face, one oath, one truth
Easy money consorts with easy virtue
Sing you sinners, silent thunder, the joy of rapture
Riding the bullet, It can't be captured
One face, one oath, one truth
Easy money consorts with easy virtue
No methods to their madness, It's gonna be a long hot winter
I, see, belief, when no one else does
I, see, belief, when no one else does.
BONUSTRACKS (SPECIAL EDITION)
14. SELF-AFFLICTION
Words never heal, deadly unreal, just to be glad to be alive
Just to survive, turn pain into glory, glory
When the earthquakes and the words don't come
And all reason is gone, and hope has left you fleeting
Goddamn bleeding, like a stray dog, brought back to the fold
Out in the cold, brought back to the fold, but I still, stand by
You'll never justify, better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify, your self, affliction
After hours, late night courage, we should have a one to one
The powers at be, have brought us together man, so bro
When the earthquakes and the words don't come
And all reason is gone, and hope has left you fleeting
Goddamn bleeding, like a stray dog, brought back to the fold
Out in the cold, brought back to the fold, but I still, stand by
You'll never justify, better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify, your self, affliction (x2)
You'll never justify, better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify, your self, affliction
Your self, affliction, your self, affliction.
15. DUST BE THE DESTINY
Run to the river, run to the sea
Cast my body down, baptize me
He came for my sorrow, he came for my pain
Through the sun, he came for the rain
Over the ocean and the black to the sea
A new day is dawning and hope caries me
There's a hole in my head that lets the rain in
There ain't no laws for the brave ones, oh no
There ain't no silence now for the crazy
There ain't no help for the lazy, oh no
I ain't never stole, to get high
I ain't never done wrong, to get by
Dirt, is what made me, so dust, be the destiny (x2)
As we walk now with cross to bare
It's a rough game, ya gotta play fair
Revolt, against the reason, the man is coming, any season now
I ain't never stole, to get high, I ain't never wrong, to get by
I think therefore I'm dangerous, I ain't never stole, to get high
Dirt, is what made me, so dust, be the destiny (x2)
Goddamn, a Goddamn
Dirt, is what made me, so dust, be the destiny (x2)
Be the destiny.
16. DAMNING THE HEAVENS
Midnight, the midnight sky brings the star alive
Makes my soul thrive, as the desert is calls me home
heavy the sin, and the that it brings
Death, don't keep me from my door
Are you afraid to die? Have you been sanctified?
By the blood purified? keep me from my door
The October moon, couldn't come to soon
So damn the summer, get the Devil in all of ya
Damning the Heavens, keep, damning the Heavens, keep
Damning the Heavens (x2)
Cold wing sings, dark kiss on her back
His mark upon the bow, guided us along
When you bury the beast, better cover his blood and bones
Deep, and point his eyes down, seen in the starts last night
Read in the cards today, this, will, wash away, keep
Damning the Heavens, keep, damning the Heavens, keep
Damning the Heavens (x2)
(You are, you are living in this world, this shall pass)
You, who are living in this world, shall have, day and night
You, who are living in this world, shall do, wrong and wright
Damning the Heavens, keep, damning the Heavens, keep
Damning the Heavens (x2)
Damning the Heavens, damning the Heavens
Are you afraid to die? Have you been sanctified?
By the blood purified? keep me from my door
The October moon, couldn't come to soon
So damn the summer, get the Devil in all of ya.
17. WASTED YEARS
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm traveling on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else
I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by, in the night, ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it till it's gone away, and my heart is lying there
And will be till my dying day
So, understand, don't waste your time, always
Searching for those, wasted years, face up, make your stand
And realize you're living in the, golden years
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Cant easy this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it just makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
So, understand, don't waste your time, always
Searching for those, wasted years, face up, make your stand
And realize you're living in the, golden years
I'm traveling on
I'm traveling on, traveling
So, understand, don't waste your time, always
Searching for those, wasted years, face up, make your stand
And realize you're living in the, golden years (x2)
Golden years.
Bitter blood on the blood-stained highway
We're brothers in arms 'til we get it right
You're gonna want it your way, it's gonna be done now
Don't take it too far, gonna get it right
Move on, from the past, agree to disagree
Every sorrow has its source, and your conscience isn't free
In the dog days of Summer, on another sober September
This, was, meant, for, you
Am I not my brother's keeper? all is what it seems to be
I'm a strong rival, a bitter enemy, best friend
(Best friend), till the end
(Till the end), the, man, you, wish, to, be, yeah
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let them down
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let, them, down
Let them down, let them down
The ties that bind, he clock that winds
As the oceans meet the sky, on the hour of my death
Will you be standing by
Every sorrow has its source, and your conscience isn't free
In the dog days of summer, on another sober September
This, was, meant, for, you
Am I not my brother's keeper? all is what it seems to be
I'm a strong rival, a bitter enemy, best friend
(Best friend), till the end
(Till the end), the, man, you, wish, to, be, yeah
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let them down
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let, them, down
Let them down, let them down
Bless, the broken road, as we limp back home
You get off, on the sound, of everything coming down, so down
Down, down, down, walk down the broken, road
They pray for villains
(They pray for villains), when their heroes, let them down
(Let, them, down)
They pray for villains, when their heroes, let, them, down
Let them down, let them down.
2. PURE SINCERITY
Dying is easy, it's living that's hard
It's so disturbing to hear what you're fearing
Rain of terror out in the cold
Give em what they want, give em what they need
Pure, sincerity, pure, sincerity
It's what made me born from, insanity, pure, sincerity, pure
Questions asked, the answers come quickly
Remorse can be so dangerous, wolf in the fold
Terror within, out in the cold
Give em what they want, give em what they need
Pure, sincerity, pure, sincerity
It's what made me born from, insanity, pure, sincerity
The things I am, the things that I've become
The wings of honor, son, of father
Don't know if I can stand, where I once fucking stood
If I could, if I could, don't you think I fucking would
Things, to come, it must be from the heart, things, to come
Are these shadows, of things, from the past?
Are these the shadows, of things to come?
Things come, to come, things to come
Where do we go?
(Where do we go?), where do we go?
Pure, sincerity, pure, sincerity

5. I'VE BEEN SOBER
Lord I miss the highway, running against the wind
Blessed are the stoned, and all the places they've been
Shadow of a man at home, beating a dead horse
Home too long, cross to bear
Methods of the past mold the future
You can't fall short as you get, older
Being run around is being trapped
(Trapped, trapped), seized up
(Up, up), kept
Wear the chains you forged in life, link, by link, by link (x2)

You live and die by your own decisions
You live and die by your own religion
Being run around is being trapped
(Trapped, trapped), seized up
(Up, up), kept
Wear the chains you forged in life, link, by link, by link (x2)

She brings me nails and turpentine
All of this time, the girl was mine

The spaces between places, I'm not worthy, leave me alone

Isn't it hard? Isn't it?
7. FORGIVENESS IS A SIX GUN
33rd degree, on the corner of Quit street
And Temptation Avenue
On the road to redemption, outside of Heaven
Pride can be dangerous and you knew
Method of Execution, length of duration, at what cost?
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a, six gun
The streets from the start, have been filled with doubt
And they, are set free, you needed someone to carry you
Fighting and counting the days, the error of your ways
Methods of execution, length of duration, at what cost?
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a, six gun
(Forgiveness is a six gun)
In cold blood, dressed in black, tombstones and tumbleweeds
Left the dead behind, watched em falling
Let Smith and Wesson do the motherfucking talking
Dust in my eyes, dust in the street, shotguns and broken dreams
Now we left the dead behind, watched em falling
Let the Smith and Wesson do the motherfucking talking, now
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun
There is no forgiveness (x4).
8. WAITING FOR NOVEMBER
A pain by any other name, is death before its time is due
You survived and made it through
Still inside the loss is buried deep
With what you went through at the funeral
Don't know how, you pushed on, buried your creator
Took
(Took), good care, such
(Such), kind care
You look so beautiful, at your funeral
Laid out and dressed your best
As your daughter put you to rest
You have such faith in life, can't tell you how many times
You've given me my backbone
Took
(Took), good care, such
(Such), kind care
You look so beautiful, at your funeral
Laid out and dressed your best
As your daughter put you to rest (x2)
Waiting for November, trying to make you smile
A birthday shared by two, Scorpio, child
You look so beautiful, at your funeral
Laid out and dressed your best
As your daughter put you to rest (x2)
To rest, so rest, so rest
Buried in, a far away place (x3).
9. IT'S IN THE CARDS
Between the head and hands, must surely be an heart
Time and space is an illusion for man
One foot in the grave, and one to start
Walking against the wind, living by the night
We're all thick as thieves sometimes, and I know it ain't, right
It's in the cards, written in the stars
Scratched on the walls of the bars, man
Where demons dwell, where demons dwell
Got scars in bars
(Knife fight), broke bones in arms
(Ducked a gunfight), it's hunters moon and I'll be gone soon
You stare like a goat, with a twisted smile
There's another motherfucker wants a fist fight
Bringing knives to a gun fight
We're all thick as thieves sometimes, and I know it ain't, right
It's in the cards, written in the stars
Scratched on the walls of the bars, man
Where demons dwell, where demons dwell (x2)
It's in the cards, written in the stars
Scratched on the walls of the bars, man
Where demons dwell, where demons dwell (x2)
Where demons dwell (x3).
10. ANOTHER NIGHT IN LONDON
Laying down the law, listen to the hammer
Mouth of madness, watch the wicked gather
Streets of stone, underneath the Grey skies
Nights come, they speak of Devils in disguise
It takes, people like you, to make, people like me
It takes, people like me, to make, people like you
Let's start a riot, another night in London
Let's start a riot, while the night is still young (x2)
While the night is still young
Shadows of light, not a glimpse of the sun
Going 'til morning, 'til the battles won
Streets of stone, underneath Grey skies
Nights come, they speak of Devils in disguise
It takes, people like you, to make, people like me
It takes, people like me, to make, people like you
Let's start a riot, another night in London
Let's start a riot, while the night is still young (x2)
Shots
(Shots), fired
(Fired), the sound of a new generation
No, future, no, revolution, for you, for you, for me
No fucking revolution for you
It takes, people like you, to make, people like me
It takes, people like me, to make, people like you
Let's start a riot, another night in London
Let's start a riot, while the night is still young (x2)
Shots
(Shots), fired
(Fired), fights
(Fights), while the night is still young.
11. BITTER PILL
Turn your tired eyes home, put the sword to stone
Death by boredom, the reach man bears the burden
That the poor man seeks to chase, the chase is certain
Did not see it coming, better stand for something
They're wicked as they come, break the cycle
Racing down the flames, while building the coffins
Iron unbroken, break the cycle
It's a bitter pill, such a bitter pill to swallow (x2)
I've broke the cycle, after all these years
Death by boredom, not afraid to reveal
What the world is sensing, the chase is certain
Did not see it coming, better stand for something
They're wicked as they come, break the cycle
Racing down the flames, while building the coffins
Iron unbroken, break the cycle
It's a bitter pill, such a bitter pill to swallow (x2)
Silence is my, companion
With pride it's going worldwide
It's spreading worldwide, across the great divide (x2)
Healer,
(Healer), believer
(Believer), on the bended knee, when push comes to shove
Healer,
(Healer), believer
(Believer), time and time again, you push me too far
It's a bitter pill, such a bitter pill to swallow (x2)
It's a bitter pill, such a bitter pill (x3)
Such a bitter pill to swallow.
12. TEACH ME TO WHISPER
Trouble is on its way, it's, on, it's, way
Another day, another decision
One that eventually, affects us both
Teach me to whisper, cause I feel like screaming
Teach me to whisper
Anger and hatred are their oars
Revenge their vessel, be strong, be patient
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
This is your conscience speaking, spare your spirit
Trouble is on its way, it's on its way, teach me to whisper
Cause I feel like screaming, teach me to whisper
Anger and hatred are their oars
Revenge their vessel, be strong, be patient
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
Behold the destroyer, by the hand of man
Death be delivered (x2)
Anger and hatred are their oars
Revenge their vessel, be strong, be patient
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of
Making the best of a bad situation, making the best of.
13. I SEE BELIEF
Death rides a horse, full force, burning bridges
Put asunder, this I'm under, one face, one oath, one truth
Easy money consorts with easy virtue
Sing you sinners, silent thunder, the joy of rapture
Riding the bullet, It can't be captured
One face, one oath, one truth
Easy money consorts with easy virtue
No methods to their madness, It's gonna be a long hot winter
I, see, belief, when no one else does
I, see, belief, when no one else does
Hope dies, better off think of one
Hope dies, these rules are for fools
One face, one oath, one truth
Easy money consorts with easy virtue
Sing you sinners, silent thunder, the joy of rapture
Riding the bullet, It can't be captured
One face, one oath, one truth
Easy money consorts with easy virtue
No methods to their madness, It's gonna be a long hot winter
I, see, belief, when no one else does
I, see, belief, when no one else does.
BONUSTRACKS (SPECIAL EDITION)
14. SELF-AFFLICTION
Words never heal, deadly unreal, just to be glad to be alive
Just to survive, turn pain into glory, glory
When the earthquakes and the words don't come
And all reason is gone, and hope has left you fleeting
Goddamn bleeding, like a stray dog, brought back to the fold
Out in the cold, brought back to the fold, but I still, stand by
You'll never justify, better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify, your self, affliction
After hours, late night courage, we should have a one to one
The powers at be, have brought us together man, so bro
When the earthquakes and the words don't come
And all reason is gone, and hope has left you fleeting
Goddamn bleeding, like a stray dog, brought back to the fold
Out in the cold, brought back to the fold, but I still, stand by
You'll never justify, better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify, your self, affliction (x2)
You'll never justify, better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify, your self, affliction
Your self, affliction, your self, affliction.
15. DUST BE THE DESTINY
Run to the river, run to the sea
Cast my body down, baptize me
He came for my sorrow, he came for my pain
Through the sun, he came for the rain
Over the ocean and the black to the sea
A new day is dawning and hope caries me
There's a hole in my head that lets the rain in
There ain't no laws for the brave ones, oh no
There ain't no silence now for the crazy
There ain't no help for the lazy, oh no
I ain't never stole, to get high
I ain't never done wrong, to get by
Dirt, is what made me, so dust, be the destiny (x2)
As we walk now with cross to bare
It's a rough game, ya gotta play fair
Revolt, against the reason, the man is coming, any season now
I ain't never stole, to get high, I ain't never wrong, to get by
I think therefore I'm dangerous, I ain't never stole, to get high
Dirt, is what made me, so dust, be the destiny (x2)
Goddamn, a Goddamn
Dirt, is what made me, so dust, be the destiny (x2)
Be the destiny.
16. DAMNING THE HEAVENS
Midnight, the midnight sky brings the star alive
Makes my soul thrive, as the desert is calls me home
heavy the sin, and the that it brings
Death, don't keep me from my door
Are you afraid to die? Have you been sanctified?
By the blood purified? keep me from my door
The October moon, couldn't come to soon
So damn the summer, get the Devil in all of ya
Damning the Heavens, keep, damning the Heavens, keep
Damning the Heavens (x2)
Cold wing sings, dark kiss on her back
His mark upon the bow, guided us along
When you bury the beast, better cover his blood and bones
Deep, and point his eyes down, seen in the starts last night
Read in the cards today, this, will, wash away, keep
Damning the Heavens, keep, damning the Heavens, keep
Damning the Heavens (x2)
(You are, you are living in this world, this shall pass)
You, who are living in this world, shall have, day and night
You, who are living in this world, shall do, wrong and wright
Damning the Heavens, keep, damning the Heavens, keep
Damning the Heavens (x2)
Damning the Heavens, damning the Heavens
Are you afraid to die? Have you been sanctified?
By the blood purified? keep me from my door
The October moon, couldn't come to soon
So damn the summer, get the Devil in all of ya.
17. WASTED YEARS
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm traveling on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else
I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by, in the night, ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it till it's gone away, and my heart is lying there
And will be till my dying day
So, understand, don't waste your time, always
Searching for those, wasted years, face up, make your stand
And realize you're living in the, golden years
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Cant easy this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it just makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
So, understand, don't waste your time, always
Searching for those, wasted years, face up, make your stand
And realize you're living in the, golden years
I'm traveling on
I'm traveling on, traveling
So, understand, don't waste your time, always
Searching for those, wasted years, face up, make your stand
And realize you're living in the, golden years (x2)
Golden years.
