1. PROLOGUE

Know now there is no time, space between the Well & Unknowing. Our story starts there. Well into our future, yet far beyond our past. In a romance between a pair of Unheavenly Creatures.

The Five Houses of the Star Supremacy have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy. These planetary prison pits reassembled from the cracked worlds of the Great Crash. Which brings us to our stage. Where the light must learn to love the black. The Dark Sentencer.


2. THE DARK SENTENCER

It begins with them, but ends with me. Their son, Vaxis

Here, emotions behold
You've entered a Hell where the Devil is made of gold
Please, don't run your mouth
The questions before have no place in his haunted house
Reveal your selfish pleasure
One more time round for good measure
In the answer you hold
Time would be better off if our souls had been sold

Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease

Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back

Here, dig me a grave
And toss in the lives that you can't be bothered to save
With their blood on your hands
You enjoy the sun while you shit in the purest sand
Kiss your lover with that filthy mouth you fucking monster
Here as evil now gropes
It's caught us off guard with its hand reaching for our throats

Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease

Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back

There's no telling when the truth is clear
Pay it no mind
Lines were drawn for us
For all sides
In the afterglow
Echoes of time unfold
Give me your word my dear
And promise you won't let go

It's a shame I fear
From end to start
We walked their lines
Born to play the fucking part
Shame I fear
From end to start
We walked their lines
Born to play the fucking part

I fear we got all we had wanted
Close your eyes and believe it didn't happen
Now shut your mouth beyond your lies
The world knows to stay away from you
In the blood you let run
They march as you lead
We laugh in the sun
Maybe that's all we need
I, and I, and I'm sorry
You can't escape

Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease

Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back

Welcome home

Welcome home


3. UNHEAVENLY CREATURES

We were young and had it all figured out
She was the quiet one and I had the mouth
Until she fell to to me
We escaped through the alley in the back
Judge told me, Creature, don't you dare go back
But I couldn't dodge the ringing in my head
Her lonely, solemn voice, through the echoes as it said:
"Please don't leave me here, my love"

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

There was something I forgot to tell her then
Between the kiss and "knock em dead, kid"
There will be no other like you
Now I can't keep the guilt from my heart
These stuttering emotions keep me fixed to fall apart
I know I'm leaving all this sweat in our bed
A broken heart bleeding with a gun to my head

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To open and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

Like a son of a gun
A son of a gun
The weight of the world on the shoulders, can you feel the thunder?
All Unheavenly Creatures (oh, oh all the Unheavenly Creatures)
All Unheavenly Creatures
On the way to the car, I heard her voice a little louder
"Please don't leave me here, my love"

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody teach you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody teach you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun


4. TOYS

We can't dwell on what could've been
All apologies
The road that stretches out is calling us to find our way back home
You said it yourself, you said it yourself

I know I'm hard to stomach
But we need to move and get out of here
Before this joint erupts
And anywhere we go, we'll feel stuck

Oh, what you want from me is not impossible
Just give me some time to figure a way out of this mess
For you and me and I will, I will

Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me

All apologies won't make things right with you tonight
Oh, can't you see, you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy

Now it's hard for me to come clean and I'll tell you why
I'm too damn ashamed, too damn ashamed
Did you miss me? Don't you lie
See, I told you so

Your broken heart is all my fault
There's no room to disguise
Oh, don't you cry, don't you cry

Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me

All apologies won't make things right with you tonight
Oh, can't you see, you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy

Your favorite boy, your favorite boy
Your favorite boy, your favorite boy
Your favorite boy, your favorite boy

Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me

All apologies won't make things right for you tonight
Oh, can't you see , you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy


5. BLACK SUNDAY

You leveled everything I ever loved
Disown me, disown me, disown me
You can't be everything that I ever wanted
Can't stop me, stop me, stop me

Hate, cause I am multiplying
Hate, cause I am multiplying

Who knew giving up would feel so good?
I, I lose, I lose
Keep pretending it's trust and see what that gets you
Your move, your move

I'll be the air you need when your lungs give out
Teasing, teasing, teasing
You'll be the care when I'm without
Loving, loving, love me

Hate, cause I am multiplying
Hate, cause I am multiplying

Who knew giving up would feel so good?
I, I lose, I lose
Keep pretending it's trust and see what that gets you
Your move, your move

Black Sunday, Black Sunday, Black Sunday

I'm tired of lying to you
And letting you down (Black Sunday)
The situation has turned raw from abuse
I'll be your clown
I'll be the one for you to use, Black Sunday

Cover over my eyes, cover over the lies
For you to use, Black Sunday
Cover over my eyes, cover over the lies
For you to use, Black Sunday
(We're here to catch the bomb)

La de da de da


6. QUEEN OF THE DARK

Baby, I will be your falling star
The one that got away, the one you'll be dreaming of
Maybe we have been here once before
The darkness rearranged, you're hitting well below the waist
Wait, just relax
Now, behave, the past is all you have

All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went out, there was no Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark

Maybe things could be just like before
No more that I can say before the world awakes again
Is this everything you hoped for?
Lost in the lines between, the darkness found its queen

All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went, when the lights went out

Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, oh
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, oh

All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went out, there was no Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark


7. TRUE UGLY

Oh, when the lights go out
Abandon reason, listen to them shout
Divine, these monsters of flesh and bone
Oh, they make hate look so easy, no kind

Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal
We are the animal

Oh, how the times run out
(Everybody down on the ground, now, everybody down, down, down, down)
Burn yourself here in the heat of the sun
Pray it comes undone
Scream your loudest, no one's coming

Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Who raised these animals?
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
(Bang, bang, bang, bang)

Broken migrant, knife through heel
Sing your praise so Hell can hear
Where did you come from?
The strange we walk, the touch we feel
Could you find a way to love us all?
Don't wake up
Show me stolen love
Everything, I need
Take away from me humility
Over and over I fuss, but I can't seem to sleep as they cut
Oh, no, you can't hurt me

Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, can you hear me?
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Can, can, can you hear me?

Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done (The good you've done)
(The good you've done)
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal
You fucking animal
Don't feed us the animals
'Cause we're not done with you
There's no good you've done
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal


8. LOVE PROTOCOL

You locked a knife inside my heart
Buried a key inside my mind
The maps surveyed, the X you chart
Where our hands go to hide

Will our needs stay level
As the terrain starts to grade high?
Should I remain unsettled?
Watch goodnight turn to goodbye
Goodnight turn to goodbye

Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

The soundtrack placed over this heart
It shares no rhythm of mine
It juts and sways, it ends and starts
All in and out of our time

Oh, I can be your dancer
The one you set within your sights
When I admit surrender
Then maybe goodbye will turn to goodnight
Goodbye will turn to goodnight

Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

Oh no, we have been cursed
The stage set for a tragic verse
Our love protocol romance
Our air drained of happenstance

What have we turned ourselves into?
This abstract personnel

Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

Oh, watch me float
Oh, watch me float
Watch me float as I fall


9. THE PAVILION (A LONG WAY BACK)

Carried them over your shoulders, you fear
The absence, the void you'll cause
When you choose to leave them all here
There's no turning back, it's time that you steer

The wide open stares back alone at the cusp
The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rust
You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough

Believe me, when I say
It's a long way back from here

Goodbye for now
Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
Over and over, the light hits the dust
It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road
The clamoring hands and the bus you call home
This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit

The same day repeats with the things that you see
Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs
Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
Over and over, the light hits the dust
It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

Goodbye for now, echo, echoes
Mile marker, minutes, hours

If this is it, and there is no more
And you believe that's true
Its a long way back from here
There's no going home

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
Over and over, the light hits the dust
It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay
(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay
(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay
(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay


10. NIGHT-TIME WALKERS

Night-time walker, keep your distance
Stay away from us, stay where you are
History repeats her story, awakened by the sounds of long before

I don't wanna see you, I don't wanna believe you're here
But it's too hard not to when your songs I hear
And all the sweet repeats that make her so beautiful

Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite
What you believed is now all upside down
Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite
What you believed is now all upside down
Upside down, upside down, upside down, upside down

A shattered silence into spinning
The panic as you learn, there was nothing here worth living
Hidden from this, an end, middle, beginning
Imprisoned to watch a play where strangers stare, forgiving
I believe that you and I have slowly made it to our final goodbye
And when they ask, we'll stray to omit
Only truly knowing that this us was how we want it

Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite
What you believed, it's now all upside down
Go on, here in the sound I drowned, our nerves broke down
What you believed is now all upside down

She is sailing safely inside my head while we lay in comforts of our own bed
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
Here, playing dead
She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed
It will be alright, we'll be alright
Here, playing dead

She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed
It'll be alright, we'll alright
Here, playing dead
She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed
It'll be alright, we'll be alright
Here, playing dead

Maybe its alright to turn it upside down and start things over
Maybe its my time to turn it upside down and start things over



11. THE GUTTER

Over my dead body
The stars will let you know
It's over
Now if I had my way
I would leave you here to waste your final days
Buried beneath
With the possibility of how things could be!
Oh please rest assured this was not my fault
And time is getting short
So I'll be here if you want me
Beaten and covered in a red so bloody!
Oh my darling can you hear?
My words so pure they burn your lying ears

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance oh you'd better
Call your mother!
All our hope is lost down in the gutter

When you're in your bed
Sleeping toward the void
So deep it feels like death
Oh don't you wake wake
Oh my love I hear
Life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here
Oh don't you dare turn your back on me
No use running when the bad guy's coming!
Oh I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man
Oh I think you've got me pegged

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance oh you'd better
Call your mother!
All our hope is lost down in the gutter

We were better together I know that much
Oh can't you see
Through the bad and the good we had all the luck
The devil's got nothing on us
You and me

Oh, baby over my dead body
Oh, baby over my dead body
Oh, baby over my dead body

We're still counting on you
We'll keep counting on you
Mother come on out
Show me what the world is all about
We'll keep counting on you
Mother come on out
Show me what the world is all about
We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep
We'll keep fighting!
Oh I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man
Oh I think you've got me pegged

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance oh you'd better
Call your mother!
All our hope is lost down in the gutter


12. ALL ON FIRE

All or nothing that you say will make me stay
Misguided by your loss and burning
Oh, you can't turn your eyes, you're glued to me
So if you don't like what you see

All on fire, oh no, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are when all goes dark
These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start
Have come apart

So, no longer me, no longer known
Do these moments on display suffice your need?
Please forgive me if I disagree
But your glimpse is now my nightmare

All on fire, oh no, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark
These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start
Have come apart

All is lost and turned away
From out of my head and into the fray
Please make sure my door is closed when no one is home, no one

Sweet phantom, know now that I respect
Your cautious pantomime
Between what's said and what was meant
A shifting paradigm

Believe, my lover, it's time I disconnect
And find the end result
Come slither, you snake, please bring me back
To when life was wonderful

This heart of mine divides
(No longer do I, do I... No longer do I, do I)
When you want it, it waits
If you want it, it waits
(No longer do I, do I... No longer do I, do I)

Cause all on fire, oh no, please bring water
Oh no, please bring, please bring water, please bring water
All on fire, oh no, please bring water
Oh no, please bring, please bring water, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark
These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start
Have come apart

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark
These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start
Have come apart
(Please bring water, please bring water)

13. IT WALKS AMONG US

A stale side double feature, so bad I couldn't eat ya
Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it
Creature's coming
Hyperdrive Mona Lisa, I wouldn't wanna be ya
Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it

Your bright ideas always burn me, oh, you should
Come on and walk among us, come on and walk among us
Bad girls, walk among us, come on and walk among us

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard
Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it
And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

A bad guy, motherfucker, don't want to hate or love you
Creature, come and get it, Creature come and get it
Creature's coming
Infected, don't provoke 'em, feel free to cock and load 'em
Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it

Bright lights here don't concern me
Come on and walk among us, come on and walk among us
Bad girls, bad, walking, walking, walking

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it
And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

Can you imagine all I want?
The time we had and all we lost
To be able to share that again
These automatic feelings, I feel your impression, I feel as they return
Oh, the darkness has its beauty, a vision blindly bothered to pay you no concern
Oh, the beast within me, it raged before, but I feel its fell in last
One down, two to go, I fear this stranger will not take me back

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard
Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

(Creature, come and get it, Creature come and get it)

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it
And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it
And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it


14. OLD FLAMES


Hey, what became of my head?
The beats in my heart, the jokes that I said
I guess all these false starts
Of a puzzle you can't finish cause' you're missing the best parts

Don't you feel I'm bringing you home?
Out of this pit where I left you alone in
This horrible mess that I made
But I guess that's what you get when you're not paying attention

So baby, welcome back to the man you've been missing
Baby, welcome back to confusing, perplexing

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am dead?

I was a mess of a man
With washed up excuses, I know, I know
Part of the confusion is me
We both agree that I wasn't the man you needed me to be

But, oh, how I changed and oh, how I've grown
Could she believe me when I've got nothing to show?
My everything, she needs to see
The choice is hers to believe in me

So baby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop
Baby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am
I am dead?

You and me, we're not enemies, I'm begging
If anything, oh, we are, we are
In harmony, sing with me, I plead
Oh, if I can make things right then this will be our night
The world against you and I

We all go up in flames, go out in style

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am dead?

I said na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana
Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana

"Are you ready?"
"Since the day we met"
"You're adorable"

Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana
Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana na


15. LUCKY STARS

This could be the biggest mistake we make in this life
Chasing as we tried to compete for each other's time
From the world we locked ourselves inside, in a place to keep us safe from all to see
They can't hide you from me

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours
We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming
I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go
Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

A lovely mess we find ourselves in, we brave it so bold
Quietly, we dance through the heat, your hand as I hold
But their warnings left us no concerns as we swallow the truth whole, unoriginal
We're losing control

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours
We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming of
I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go
Thank your lucky stars

Remember all the ghosts that you left them with
Remember all the ghosts that you left them with
Remember all the ghosts that you left them with
Don't give 'em up, don't give 'em up, don't give 'em up

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours
We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming
I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go
Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
