SPAHN RANCH CAMPFIRE All my family is coming down with forbidden crosses on foreheads You can hear Squeaky's laughter and Charlie's prayers getting louder My bowels are made of bees, please set me free and feed you from my blood All my dreams are gone, i'll never say never to always All my friends are fading away and it's just another sunny day I've made one step out of line while brothers and sisters were keeping smile I don't give a fuck about my trial knowing some of you are bringers of betrayal Bobby's screwin' and smokin' in sub-basement We're talkin' about motivation inexistant Noddy's creepy crawling for the pleasure of being guilty All my dreams are gone, i'll never say never to always All my friends are fading away and it's just another sunny day Bobby's screwin' and smokin' in sub-basement, we're talkin' about motivation inexistant Noddy's creepy crawling for the pleasure of being guilty

IN THE CHURCH OF BLIND DRUNKS, THE PREACHER IS ONE EYED MAN Welcome home Mr. One eyed Man Sit down and listen the story i'm gonna tellin' May do you know, i love to kiss the bottle It is only to drown the reality veil Can you hear september rain's falling It only sings Mary virgin pain Choirs of mindless lambs are singing in useless churches In search of meaningless redemption I'm light headed by guilt Worshipping some weak demons to feed I Just wanna escape this mess and only midnight hunger can help through this I've been lost in the land of treachery would like live another destiny Summoning goat and self destruction Beg and cry for some distraction Gathered around circles of ashes Children of god are playing with human limbs we come out when sun is down for conjuration of fire It's time for us to drink unholy water Look at your only one eye that glows You can't break this face on your own draw the righteous path to follow Death is standing right outside your kingdom One more shot to drown my sorrow I can feel your deadly halo Ashen faces hew crosses on the wall Broken hearted brother, your pain i swallow .

Nail king 07:54
NAIL KING I don't remember the day i was born just like bed of roses growing on stone ground Dreaming in the blueest sea that i ever saw Please, sweet mother tell me about the end of the world Sometimes, i'm feeling like a broken bone and sometimes i'm speaking like a voice without a sound Losing my head Am i messiah or nailking Trying to catch pure light in river of blood The bleakest of spears leads me to the house of god I never claimed to preach the very truth I just want to die like ... Listen to the blowin' winds, here's the black angel arrival Down on your knees and hear the divine call Sometimes i'm smelling like a wretched dog sometimes i'm wearing a crown without thorns Thinking about above am i the son of god In the beginning god created the heaven and the dying earth And then one day i found you, i didn't believe it, you took me everything left me rotting, stinking and falling And i prayed for your death, your fall and your disgrace You are just nothing, a shelter for those without shame

MOUNTAIN QUEEN AND DIRTY WHITE MAN What beautiful words written on the wall, feelings so untold Sometimes, i need a quick fix of anger to exhale the wine of life Don't worry, i won't never harm you, the bottle is empty and i know this is the only remedy All dressed in white, laughing at your sight Get back on one's feet and it's gonna be all right I never could reach your holy mountain So breastfeed the lamb and share it flesh I never could appreciate your goodness So leave with my bitterness Dirty white man is my color in the night I'm holding your hand with cold and distant feeling My queen crowned in tears, i shall bleed for my sins All dressed in white, laughing at your sight Get back on one's feet and it's gonna be all right I never could reach your holy mountain So breastfeed the lamb and share it flesh I never could appreciate your goodness So leave with my bitterness Sleeping amongst bretrayers, singing like deadly bird my queen shall inherit the earth, the man once you loved captured in sin. Could you stand right here and face the third eye of evil's seed Mountain queen with crystal tears, the man once you loved, captured in sin. I never could reach your holy mountain So breastfeed the lamb and share it flesh I never could appreciate your goodness So leave with my bitterness

Drift Away 07:00
DRIFT AWAY Drift away from this house, your memory swirls around like the leaves of the older trees Family pictures on dirty ground, broken piano without sound i just can't let you down No mother milk to soothe your soul, calm down and take control for you can see you're not deaf and blind Some people say i've got golden hands but i've just got gleaming brown eyes filled with anger and your beautiful eyes Now you're living in bleeding heart street where no one dares to stay here Still the rain's falling down, no wounds healing, suddenly summertime has gone away please lay down one's arm cause your heart has torn apart and remember the days of july Some people say i've got golden hands but i've just got gleaming brown eyes filled with anger and your beautiful eyes Sometimes i'm feeling like a lion in a cage but without teeths i can't really bite you.
