1. FRANKENSTEIN’S WIFE
My darling, I'll be your lightning
Oh darling, low hangs the sky
My darling, I'll be your lightning
I'll keep bringing you back to life
Frankenstein's wife
There's a key to your heart
And the promise of clockwork magic
You had me from the start
The air around us electric
Every time you and I, our hearts would meet
I didn't know it was me
I didn't know that I was the key
I'm the storm that will set you free
My darling, I'll be your lightning
Oh darling, low hangs the sky
My darling, I'll be your lightning
I'll keep bringing you back to life
Frankenstein's wife
Let 'em bleed, let 'em bleed
You've hidden your wounds for so long
If I mend a heart in need
Then bringing you back won't be so wrong
I'm the storm that will set you free
My darling, I'll be your lightning
Oh darling, low hangs the sky
My darling, I'll be your lightning
I'll keep bringing you back to life
My darling, I'll be your lightning
Oh darling, low hangs the sky
My darling, I'll be your lightning
I'll keep bringing you back to life
Frankenstein's wife
Nothing will keep us apart
With the stitches binding our hearts
No more words to be said
To one another we've been wed
The storm above will wake the dead
My darling, I'll be your lightning
Oh darling, low hangs the sky
My darling, I'll be your lightning
I'll keep bringing you back to life
My darling, I'll be your lightning
Oh darling, low hangs the sky
My darling, I'll be your lightning
I'll keep bringing you back to life
My darling, I'll be your lightning
Oh darling, low hangs the sky
My darling, I'll be your lightning
I'll keep bringing you back to
I'll keep bringing you back to
I'll keep bringing you back to life
Frankenstein's wife
2. LEFT ON MARS
There was a child climbing a hill on a winter's night
Face up to space above and taken by the sight
Time slowed down under the blessing of the skies
Of dying stars and their billion years of light
I flew across the void of space in a waking dream
Astride a fusion flame I'm finally redeemed
To find the wonders that transcend the bounds of time
To hear the heavens sing and reach the other side
Do you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
And I’ve turned page after page
I never chose to be an alien, no
I'm just looking for a home
I know I’m better left on Mars
I see the star that gave us life in the rusted sky
The hills turn crimson as I take your hand in mine
I always thought this place was safe and I was wrong
You chose to cross the void for me
I was made strong
Do you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
And I’ve turned page after page
I never chose to be an alien, no
I’m just looking for a home
I think you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
But you still believe in me
And I choose the mercy of your heart
I'm just looking for a home
There together we'll find home
Alone together left on Mars
3. PROUD WHORE
You've never known what you want but I can give it to you
You might just hate it right there but end up loving it soon
The back of the tiger my throne
I'll be riding on and on
My kingdom of cities and roads
Forevermore
I'm a proud whore
Forevermore
I'm a proud whore
I'm a proud whore
I'd never do you a thing you wouldn't want me to do
Maybe I'm leading you on but I warned you of that too
You wanted me to take control
I made you rock I made you roll
You paid to feel my whip again
And you came back for more
I'm a proud whore
Forevermore
I'm a proud whore
Forevermore
My kingdom of cities and roads
Forevermore
You know who I am
I'm a proud whore
You know that I am
A proud whore
Forevermore
I'm a proud whore
Forever forevermore
I'm a proud whore
I'm a proud whore
4. TWO SOLDIERS
With heads held high words are said
A wow is made before we go
If fate be cruel and I'm laid to rest
You'll do your best that much I know
Empty battlefields lie still
Grimly staring we're set to do what no one can alone
In these houses made of stone
Memories of the lives unknown
Kings and queens upon their thrones
Centuries have shown them
War will never change and this is who we are
There's so much more
None can tell the hearts of men when nations call
And those who came before gave their trust
We're left to rust on foreign shores
Brother look me in the eye
We will survive and stand to do what no one can alone
In these houses made of stone
Memories of the lives unknown
Kings and queens upon their thrones
Centuries have shown them
War will never change and this is who we are
This is who we are
"It was just a blue-eyed Northern boy
His voice was low with pain
I'll do your bidding, comrade mine
If I ride back again
But if you ride back, and I am dead
You'll do as much for me
My mother, you know, must hear the news
So write to her tenderly."
Pull upon the evening tide
Grimly staring we won't forget the ones we left behind
In these houses made of stone
Memories of the lives unknown
As above, shall be below
Centuries have shown that
This is who we are
In these houses made of stone
Memories of the lives unknown
Kings and queens upon their thrones
Centuries have shown them
All we have are dreams and
A dream can take you far
A dream can take you far
5. THE DRAGON MUST DIE
There's a creature of cunning, of knowledge and age
And you've known it all of your life
It tries on many faces and personalities
Until it finds out what you love
Born into the harness
Prison of the screen
Consuming lives
Drunk on gasoline
You will be changed when you find out your life was a lie
La la la, la la la lie
Come out of the glamour and know the same thing as I
The dragon must die
Here it comes for your children and you let it in
Like some did to you, you'll recall
A slit tongue in every faceless head, a machine, a spider web
Spitting lies to feed off us all
Share the denial that corporate religion has grown
On commercial breaks mass distraction is sown
You will be changed when you find out your life was a lie
La la la, la la la lie
Come out of the glamour and know the same thing as I
The dragon must die
As the pressure of hunger drives species extinct
We gorge on the leftovers still
Clever madmen preach from their mountains of gold
May god justify what you kill
You will be changed when you find out your life was a lie
La la la, la la la lie
Come out of the glamour and know the same thing as I
Predators of mind skinned you decorating temples sky high
Come out of the glamour and know the same thing as I
The dragon must die
The dragon must die
The dragon must die
Dragon must die
6. THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
Paint it with bloodstains, guts and weird ooze
Demons, wizards, undead on the loose
A six legged wolf with the brains of three men
Runs you down in a second, outsmarts you in ten
Eyes bright in the moonlight
Saber tooth and razor claw
The devil you know is the devil you choose
The same old gospel, old coward's blues
The devil you know is the devil you choose
Pitchforks and torches on a spaceship cruise
There's a summoning circle and a bad egg smell
Someone's called over a creature of hell
It's the end, my friend, now you have been told
Invisible fingers in your brain take hold
Fairies whispering tales of your fear
Right back to your ear
The devil you know is the devil you choose
The same old gospel, old coward's blues
The devil you know and the devil you choose
Pitchforks and torches on a spaceship cruise
The devil you know is the devil you choose (Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
The devil you know is the devil you choose (Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
Eyes bright in the moonlight
Shiny tooth and claw
Fairies whispering tales of yore
A six legged wolf with the brains of three men
Runs you down in a second, outsmarts you again
The devil you know is the devil you choose
The same old gospel, old coward's blues
The devil you know and the devil you choose
Pitchforks and torches on a spaceship cruise
The devil you know is the devil you choose (Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
The devil you know is the devil you choose (Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
The devil you know is the devil you choose
The same old gospel, old coward's blues
The devil you know is the devil you choose (Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
(Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
(Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
(Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
(Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh)
7. REBEL OF THE NORTH
I am a human male
An ape with an ego
Let me see that mirror
Don't spare the shame
I am a fortress founded with the strength of lies
Wake me up my children
You know the rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
White walker, black heart
Built anew from the start
Red hand martian art
Character of unwritten part
Got shrapnel of the real world straight between the eyes
Be not afraid my children
You know the rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
I need a challenger to bring me down and fight me
If I claim authority, that's where I go wrong
But if you get high ideas then you can try and bite me
Claim that authority and we won't get along
Get out of my song!
I'm from the north
You came from the south
So what?
Who we are comes out of one's mouth
With bullets of information future will rise
Word for blade my children
You know the rebel never never dies
Renegades of mind grenades don't need a disguise
Be not afraid my children
You know the rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
The rebel never dies
8. IMPATIENT ZERO
I have laid down with the angels and the sirens too
Never thought I'd pick up a devil, got quite a few
I tried to shake them but they found me with their relentless pace
And the blades grew with the darkness over my lightless days
I remember the fall, I remember the fear
Ever deeper the hole, year after year
All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear
I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear
Would a friend try and justify my walk on the ice to die
By insisting on a lie?
Such ignorance with arrogance, in shadows the knives dance
Stealthy poison leaves no chance
I remember the fall, I remember the fear
Ever deeper the hole, year after year
All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear
I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear
I never believed that I'd just walk and be free
I'm held by the memory when I was seen as me
My back's been holed with wounds, take a look and nothing shows
It's just the knives of the old
The void I gasp my breath from chokes my heart again
Let it go still, let it go cold
I got left on the path of anger
In circles left my mind
I'd seen too much and my wisdom left me
Left me raging blind
I remember the fall, I remember the fear
Ever deeper the hole, year after year
All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear
I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear
I remember the fall, I remember the fear
Ever deeper the hole, year after year
All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear
I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear
9. TAMMIKUU
Tammikuu, talviyö, saavuin ja hengitin
Kauris taivaan sai pojan nukuttaa
Astronautti ainoa lapsista kylän tuon
Katsoo, kun linnunpoikaa toiset hukuttaa
Minä halusin pois, ja minä lähdin pois
Jäi soratiet, metsät, vihreät salot
Minä hyvästelin rannat, vedetkin
Nuo henkien ja poikien talot
Auringonkoakin pilkaten kutsuivat valot
Kaupungissa kivisten on paikka mulkkujen
Pystyssä jätit kuolleen lasin, naulojen
Hohtavat ikkunat peittävät tyhjyyden
Seinät ja ylpeys erottavat ihmisen
Minä halusin pois, ja minä lähdin pois
Pilviä kävelin haavaisin jaloin
Läpi mustimman reunan ja eteenpäin
Minä toivoin, minä syöksyin, minä paloin
Taas kerran kuolin, taas yhden elämän aloin
Tammikuu, talviyö, saavuin ja lähdinkin
Elämää mä jaan mullastakin tämän maan
Arkutta maatuu maja tomun metsään pohjolan
Kevään vehreys tulkoon muistot jakamaan
Minä halusin pois, ja minä lähdin pois
Haudasta ulos omin haavaisin jaloin
Minä halusin pois, ja minä lähdin pois
Nousin tuhkasta ja vieläkin paloin
Minä halusin pois, ja minä lähdin pois
Itseni tuhosin ja uudeksi valoin
Minä halusin pois, ja minä lähdin pois
Tie on kotini oudoin kohtaloin
Minä halusin pois, ja minä lähdin pois
Minä hyvästelin rannat, vedetkin
Minä halusin pois, ja minä lähdin pois
Läpi mustimman reunan ja eteenpäin
Taas kerran kuolin, taas kerran elämän aloin
10. ROSES FROM THE DEEP
I've been lost for some time now
It's different on this side
I've been gone I don't know how long
It's been different since I died
I've seen you after now and then
Still pictures, black and white
Colour creeps in as you turn grey
Red and gold autumn twilight
I never told you I would come for you
But you knew it anyway
All these years you keep my roses from the deep
Dead leaves
The trees of winter always weep
I long to touch your face your hair
To move a strand behind your ear
Will there be peace with you by me
I'll wait until you're here
I never told you I would come for you
But you knew it anyway
All these years you keep my roses from the deep
Dead leaves
The trees of winter always weep
I never told you I would come for you
But you knew it anyway
All these years you keep my roses from the deep
Dead leaves
The trees of winter always weep
Always weep
I never told you I would come for you
All these years you keep my roses from the deep
The trees of winter always weep
I never told you I would come for you
All these years you keep my roses from the deep
The trees of winter always weep
I never told you I would come for you
All these years you keep my roses from the deep
The trees of winter always weep
11. IMPATIENT ZERO (EDIT)
I have laid down with the angels and the sirens too
Never thought I'd pick up a devil, got quite a few
I tried to shake them but they found me with their relentless pace
And the blades grew with the darkness over my lightless days
I remember the fall, I remember the fear
Ever deeper the hole, year after year
All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear
I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear
Would a friend try and justify my walk on the ice to die
By insisting on a lie?
Such ignorance with arrogance, in shadows the knives dance
Stealthy poison leaves no chance
I remember the fall, I remember the fear
Ever deeper the hole, year after year
All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear
I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear
I never believed that I'd just walk and be free

Left me raging blind

I remember the fall, I remember the fear
Ever deeper the hole, year after year
All the words to find, whatever's nice to hear
I remember the truth, fallen to a stone ear
