1. NEW RELIGION

Welcome to your life
We have got you in our sites
Where thoughts of God are better left alone
It's in your head black and blue
What they told you wasn't true
Come along and fight with the unknown
The army's grown

We'll pray to all the wrong decisions
(Whoa)
This time you'll show all you can be
(Whoa)
Grab your weapons now
We'll run against the crowd
Changing history
So
Let's take the world we will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is found be a saviour now
The battle's won for the new religion

No one can defeat what the congregation speaks
Bound together the flag we defend
They made a fool out of you
But you knew just what to do
Raise your fists up and stand until the end
(Fight back)

We'll pray to all the wrong decisions
(Whoa)
This time you'll show all you can be
(Whoa)
Grab your weapons now
We'll run against the crowd
Changing history
So
Let's take the world we will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is found, be a saviour now
The battle's won for the new religion

Come now and imagine with me
Taking back a world that was once ours
Let's regain the power and we will love what we've begun

Let's take the world we will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is found, be a saviour now
The battle's won for a new religion

We are unholy
We are the bastard sons of your media culture
Our minds, eyes and bodies were born in your exclusion
An illusion you hide behind
You don't love a God
You love your comfort
To you we are filth, we are dirty
So be it
We are dirty and unclean
A congregation of the unseen
Together we will set this world on fire
This is the new religion
Amen


2. SET THE WORLD ON FIRE

Saints born together to fight against their holy fables
The streets are where we pray
Hymns for the lonely, wretches and forgotten
The feeling in our hearts won't ever fade away

We stand tall (united)
Watch them fall (divided)
Break the chains and now we'll show them all (fight)

Fight for all you know
When your back's against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Sing out united against the ones you left behind in hatred,
Our message of today
Like children crying when all they knew was dying
And we will raise our flags up its time for them to pay

We stand tall (united)
Watch them fall (divided)
Break the chains and now we'll show them all (fight)

Fight for all you know
When your back's against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Whoah oh... So it sing it loud you hold the key
We're the rebels and we're free
Woah oh... It's time to burn all you see
Now the world belongs to me

Fight for all you know
When your back's against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Proud in all you are
Showing every scar
As your badge of honor
When you can't take anymore
Or what they're living for
Set the world on fire


3. FALLEN ANGELS

Scream, shout
Scream, shout
We are the fallen angels

We are the in between
Cast down as sons of war
Struck to the earth like lightning
On this world we're torn
We won't cause the pain
Of living out their law
Take joy in who you are
We know our wings are flawed

Whoa...

We're bored to death in heaven
And all alone in hell
We only want to be ourselves

We scream, we shout
We are the fallen angels
We scream, we shout
Woah oh, Whoah oh oh oh...

To those who sing alone
No need to feel the sorrow
We scream, we shout, whoa oh..
We are the fallen angels

Follow the mourning star
A light when darkness fell
The passion left unholy
Now you find yourself

We have nowhere to go
No one to wish us well
A cry to find our home
Our stories will tell

Whoah...

We're bored to death in heaven
And all alone in hell
We only want to be ourselves

We scream, we shout
We are the fallen angels
We scream, we shout
Woah oh, woah oh oh oh...

To those who sing alone
No need to feel the sorrow
We scream, we shout, whoah oh...
We are the fallen angels

Scream, shout
We are the fallen angels

Scream, shout
Whoah oh, whoah oh oh oh...

We scream, we shout
We are the fallen angels

We scream, we shout
Whoah oh, woah oh oh oh...

To those who sing alone
No need to feel the sorrow
We scream, we shout, whoah oh..
We are the fallen angels

We screan, we shout
Whoah oh, whoah oh oh oh...

Whoah oh oh oh...

We shout, woah oh...
We are the fallen angels


3. LOVE ISN'T ALWAYS FAIR

One look and I am sold
You go me on my knees
You steal all my innocence
A love sick melody

Take me...

You always want the one you can't have
'Cause love isn't always fair
You are the romance I've never had
'Cause love isn't always fair

Your kiss a withered rose
Your lips have buried me
Hearts race the moments gone
We shared this fantasy

Take me...

You always want the one you can't have
'Cause love isn't always fair
You are the best romance I've never had
'Cause love isn't always fair

Kneel and pray for closure baby
This is the ride we're on, oh
I'm taking what you give to me
Never want it to stop,
I want it all
In this temporary love

You always want the one that you can't have
'Cause love isn't always fair
You are the best romance I've never had
'Cause love isn't always fair

(Whoah oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh...)

Love isn't always fair!


5. GOD BLESS YOU

We're all told that when we die
We leave to a better place
All I know is what you left
A love I can't erase

All the same in love and war
But my name in ashes scorn

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So God bless you

God bless you

Shed those faded memories
This is your curtain call
I've had enough of sympathy
It's time to watch you fall

All the same in love and war

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So God bless you

So God bless you
God bless you!
God bless you!
God bless you!

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Go no more time for your goodbyes
So God bless you

So God bless you
God bless you!
God bless you!
God bless you!


6. REBEL LOVE SONG

I cannot hide what's on my mind
I feel it burning deep inside
A passion crime to take what's mine
Let us start living for today

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna' stop us
No not this time

So take you hand in mine
it's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

My outlaw eyes have seen their lies
I choke on all they had to say
When world collide what's left inside
I hold on tight and hear you pray

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna' stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom
(Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom)

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song


7. SAVIOUR

I never meant to be the one
Who kept you from the dark
But now I know my wounds are sewn
Because of who you are
I will take this burden on
And become the holy one
But remember I am human
And I'm bound to sing this song
So hear my voice, remind you not to bleed
I am here

Saviour
Will be there
When you are feeling alone, oh
A saviour
For all that you do
So you live freely
Without their harm

So here I write my lullaby
To all the lonely ones
Remember as you learn to try to be the one you love
So I can take this pen
And teach you how to live
What is left unsaid is the greatest gift I give

So hear my voice
Remind you not to bleed
I am here

Saviour
Will be there
Where you are feeling alone, oh
A saviour
For all that you do
So you live freely
Without their harm

Whenever I hear your cries
Praying for light
I will be there
When I hear your cries
Praying for light
I will be there
I will be there
I will always be there
I will be there


8. THE LEGACY

Racing faster, escape disaster
Partners in crime will leave their mark
We make our own way, not thoughts of yesterday
Black hearts with growing battle scars

Whoah, oh, oh, the legacy born from a dream
Long leather wings rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny

We came from nothing but promise one thing
We'll change the world with these guitars
So listen closely and don't stop growing
No one can tell you who you are

Whoah, oh, oh, the legacy born from a dream
Long leather wings rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny

The legacy born from a dream
Long leather wings rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny

Go, run, run, never looks back
Run, run, never look back
Run, run, run, never look back, run

The legacy born from a dream
Long leather wings rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny


9. DIE FOR YOU

The writing's on the fall
Your crimson touch is going nowhere
I'll hang on the every word you said
And sink my teeth into this nightmare

Woah oh oh oh...
I'm screaming out
Whoah oh oh oh...
Can you hear me?

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you!

I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you!

I feel your body crawl
Pale flesh for my devotion
True pain was all you ever meant
Love would be our last emotion

Woah oh oh oh...
I'm screaming out
Woah oh oh oh...
Can you hear me?

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you!

I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you!

With every breath I feel you there
Forbidden live is falling
You eyes sing despair

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake

I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you!

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you!

I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you!

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you!

I see the truth
I've given you my hear to break
I would die for you!


10. RITUAL

Praying for what your heart brings
Thoughts of escape and bloodshot eyes
You're barely sleeping, no longer dreaming
Now what you do to feel alive?

Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Singing songs of the old days
Try to remember what's gone by
Stronger in new ways, don't care what they say
This is your life, it's time to rejoice

Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Our destiny is what we learned
Together wanting something more
Their misery and demons burn
A feeling that's worth fighting for

Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual
Becoming one with our ritual


11. YOUTH AND WHISKEY

These words are burning inside of me
Spent years in liquid harmony
This dream is who I wanna be
Youth and whisky

I grew from those who hate me
Stand fast to a razor blade symphony
Cigarettes and lyrics made me
Youth and whisky

Can you see
Can you see me
I'm strong from what they made me
These angels
Who carry me
They taught me youth and whisky

Baptized in smoke and misery
A loaded gun and a bastard's history
My temple's for the crazy
Youth and whisky

No sorrow left inside of me
Celebrate the moments behind me
This shot is Holy Mary

Youth and whisky

Can you see
Can you see me
I'm strong from what they made me
These angels
Who carry me
They taught me youth and whisky

Hey, hey, brothers
Hey, hey, fighters
Hey, hey, bottles
Living for another round
Hey, hey, lovers
Hey, hey, liars
Hey, hey, throttle
Speeding towards a blackout

Blackout

Can you see
Can you see me
I'm strong from what they made me
These angels
Who carry me
They taught me youth and whisky


12. SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Quiet as I watch you falling
You become a pray again
I can see your skin is crawling
Lipstick cases and sins

Wake up wake up wake up
You're drowning
Same old song and dance
Wake up wake up wake up
My darling
Never stood a chance

Lost in another one
And it's just so far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors

I hear it in her voice, she's stalling
"You were just another man"
Your claims of love are falling
Now it's clear you can't win

Wake up wake up wake up
Heart's pounding
Praying for romance
Wake up wake up wake up
It's sounding

Time to try again

Lost in another one
And it's just so far
An Illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors


I'd rather be alone
Then watch you outgrow
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors

Black painted eyes
Cover the lies
It's time you threw away your cruel disguise

Lost in another one
Now it's just so far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors

I'd rather be alone
Then watch you outgrow
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors
