The Brotherhood
03:09
|
|||
I wanna offer you a chance, to live beyond the accepted
Worship and praise amongst the anointed and blessed
Picture perfect scene in a long white robe to be
Standing on a mountain singing songs with me
Chorus:
Join the brotherhood
We're all righteous here and good
We got a lot love to give to those
Who really want to live
Grab yourself a drink
Up front there a seat
Let the spirit wash over you
And worship with me
Don't turn away, the devil will be scared
So much righteous light we got him running in fear
Standing all together hear my words and do whatever
The guiding light tells me and we'll live forever
The doubt you feel will pass as you drink from the sacred glass
You hear and feel the scripture from a better time gone past
Fighting back the devil with a brotherhood of rebels
Sanctify the earth for our one and only blessed

Family Business
02:33
|
|||
Daddy was a drinker and he didn't get home til late
Threw mommy in the fire cause a demon stole her place
Took me and my little brother and tried to steer us right
The distorted fucked up version of his divine guiding light
What happens in the shed out back, is family business
Chorus:
What daddy does is for the good of the world
All he can to give us peace on earth
Hes buried me down below, someday my love will be shown
I'll thank for all hes done, with the head of an axe
Daddy went to Florida to the door where evil lived
He dragged him out and beat him shot the sheriff in the chest
He said he ain't no murderer but the lords will must be done
Heavens gate won't open if we turn our tail and run

Gallows
01:39
|
|||
Lord please tell me, lord please tell me
How I done gone and let ya down
Lord please tell me, lord please tell me
How I done gone and let ya down
Law Man on my trail, i'm gone straight to hell
Run tell mamma I ain't coming home
Run tell mamma I ain't coming home
Hang me on that sturdy gallow
Lay me down to rest
Hang me on that sturdy gallow
Lay me down to rest
For all the sins I done, I'll never meet the lord
My soul will burn away
My soul will burn away
Lord please tell me, lord please tell me why
How I done gone and let ya down
Lord please tell me, lord please tell me why
How I done gone and let ya down
Law Man on my trail, i'm gone straight to hell
Run tell mamma I ain't coming home
Run tell mamma I ain't coming home

Faith
02:24
|
|||
27 cold hard miles and they're far behind
A million lives I've lived but they all been lies
I'm not pure enough for the heavens above
But I qualify for at least your love
I'm far from perfect, but for you I am enough
I'm worthless scum but youre much fucked up
Chorus:
You're a pendelum swinging in the house by the sea
I left your flesh to salty winds the ghosts are after me
I saw you lost your way, God was pushed aside
So his angels took my mighty hands and you forced his love inside
Accept your fate
Good God, have Faith, Faith, Faith
Your blood was on my hands as I crossed county lines
But it was foretold in my dreams so I should be fine
You always said I lacked a fire, scolded me for a dry desire
Not to speak ill of the dead but honey you've died a liar
I'm running towards the border and I'm bleeding when I cough
I'm burning down the bridges even those I've yet to cross
I'm talking to the lord while I hold the devils hand
The lines have blurred I'm lost and all my gold is sand
I can't escape

Hallow's Eve
01:38
|
|||
Don't go out tonight shadows in the pale moonlight
Woods cursed with ghouls and ghosts with diamonds as red eyes
Preacher nailed up on a cross grinning sweet and saying
Offer your throat to the wolf where the river flows and no one goes
Where the river flows and no one...
Chorus:
On Halloween night, I never realized
Here's why the devil's leaving hell
On Halloween night, I never realized
Satan's not the only one who prays
Or I'm not the only one who prays
Life goes on it just gets real short and tonight you can move it on
Light a candle to guide the way, and give your spirits up
All the trees are watching as the wolf moves in to feed
The masters being quiet at the altar soothed by screams
The dead don't have voice....

Rip you from the skin to the bone
And lick my finger tips
Taste like the devil, lips of heavens scent
Got me begging to repent
Only the heart of a good ol' boy
Could let this go so far
Just to dig you outta yo grave
And lay you in my arms
Pre Chorus:
Daddy always shouting he just don't understand so I'm walking this path alone
Locked in the cellar all my shutters drawn Imma taking your spirit home
Chorus:
Set myself down a righteous path to cleanse you of your sin
Using gods light to show the way, force your flesh to repent
I'm nothing but faithful, i'm a pure good man, imma make the most outta life
I'm doing good as best i can since the devil took my wife, so i stole her back
Hide you away in a darkened room
Carve into your bones
Make me a bed from your long flowing hair
Even God ain't seen us down here
Sharpen my teeth to chew back your nails
Imma lay you out to dry
Skin so taught so cold so brittle
Stacking Nickles on your eyes

The Coffin Baby
03:46
|
|||
I was born a coffin baby
Mother died let the devil carry me bye and bye
With a toolbox by my side
Hammer and nails gonna drill some holes
Gonna drop some lye right down your throat
Just one of the charms
of this place you call home
Chorus:
The devils on the rise
He kills to survive
Blood dripping down the walls and your spine
Watch as the bodies pile high
Watch as the bodies pile high...
I am the man in the walls
I'm the chills inside your mind
I am the monster in the basement
I'll hang your body out to dry
Look for her in room 504
Write the symbols down on your arm
There's an evil
That lives inside these walls
Rotting corpses lie on the floor
The sound of a buzz saw will end it all
This coffin baby
ain't going back to hell
Chorus:
The devils on the rise
He kills to survive
Blood dripping down the walls and your spine
Watch as the bodies pile high
Watch as the bodies pile high...
I am the man in the walls
I'm the chills inside your mind
I am the monster in the basement
I'll hang your body out to dry
I am the man in the walls
I'm the chills inside your mind
I am the monster in the basement
I'll hang your body out to dry

Do No Evil
02:39
|
|||
You run sharp steel blade across your tongue
I'm spread out open wide on the killing floor
There's candles lit sage blaze and a scent of fear thick in the air
Speaking in a language foreign to me
Can't understand the words but the I feel the walls breath
Suddenly i sense a dark presence in the corner manifesting from your prayers
for my turmoil
Chorus:
Oh lord help me I can't breath,
I'm saying final prayers i'm in a desperate need
Of someone in the heavens to guide me home
Got nothing left to offer but a tainted soul
I thought I was evil but next her I'm nothing
Stabbing into flesh a soft poke I cry out
Laughter fills the air, but not from me now
Something from behind says this is all you got?
I'm raging against the chains and she licks her lips
All my shouts in pain gives her some kind of trip
A tapping at the window and she lets the spirits in
Chorus:
Oh lord help me I can't breath,
I'm saying final prayers i'm in a desperate need
Of someone in the heavens to guide me home
Got nothing left to offer but a tainted soul
I thought I was evil but next her I'm nothing
The fear of dying, draws you out and drops you to your knees
Inside I'm crying god, I'm begging please
But i ain't do so wrong
I can raise my voice in song
See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Do No Evil, I'm not evil

Temptation
01:14
|
|||
Father are you listening do you hear me as I'm pleading
I've defiled your pure Eden and I've lost my way
Tempted by sweets by the promises and treats
A savory kinda life with a warm tender light to guide my way
I've given up the power and I'm in my final hour
I'm begging for forgiveness or someone dear to witness me slip away
My heart beats weak against the pressure of
Disease, I feel the shadows closing in I'm at the Devils
beck and whim, for giving up, On your love
To tempt me into sin now the walls are closing in
I'm filling up with cancer as the goat descends the altar
The brimstone makes them stronger and I hope the lord steals my soul away

Flies Ov Christ
04:24
|
|||
Roots in the cellar
Cutting off the water
Baptized in blood to cleanse you of sin
Hail to the father
Burning at the altar
Gold, furs and power makes it worth the kill
Chorus:
Take me upon the roadway into nothing
Wrap me in dreams and send me down the stream
Bathe me in fire and fill me up with flies
While the lord of the woods is watching through my eyes
Drape them in liquid
Poured fresh from the chalice
The scriptures are twisted with existential dread
Fourth son to follow
A sheep returns to slaughter
Ripped from the womb and fed to his starving kin
Its etched in to the glass
A warning from the winds
The beast has left his mark
A swarm to bring the end
She was an angel draped in black with a cold hook stuffed through her heart
I could only follow after her once I caught the scent of her blood
Broken and tattered the betrayal is all that mattered
In the face of the pale white crumbling tower, the death of innocence
The witching hour

Wait 'til Tomorrow
01:53
|
|||
Gone to church on Sundays saw your praying on your knees I thought
A snotty little bitch like you exactly what I need
I got a choir singing hymns from hell, my ears are deaf to praise
And once I've stepped into the water then my vile souls been saved
But till I'm ready for forgiveness, or to turning myself in
I got a couple good years left of setting the bar for sin
DON'T PRAY FOR ME NOW! wait 'til tomorrow
I followed you and crept real close and smelled your sweet innocence
My mouth begins to water as I grabbed you round the neck
I'm betting on myself to lose and probably lose it all real fast
The darkness in my heart a giant stone and one that will not pass
And though I'm looking to repent my sins and give it all up soon
I'm not ready at this moment and I ain't asking you
DON"T PRAY FOR ME NOW! wait 'til tomorrow

Rattlin' Souls
02:57
|
|||
Down in the valley past the cemetery gates
I made my way digging up these graves
Dragging my bones as the vultures say
Boy you getting in the devils way
Whose that clawing at my floor i got
Rattlin' souls in the sycamores
Looks like the lord come to take me away an I'm
Dressed in lies with the dead man's eyes
Chorus:
Black as I see the depths of hell
Ain't no angels gonna hear me yell
Lord I been so sick I just ain't doing well
Crawling in the muck to the sulfur smell
I can't go through this life again
Hang my soul from the rafters, amen
Preacher man pull the curse from my bones
Or offer my throat to the wolf with the rose
Under the alter or nailed to the cross
Their voices in the dark tear the innocence off
Shadows start move in the tomb of the dead
deep and ancient dark the worlds painted red
Listen to them whisper and it cuts through the trees
Innsmouth to Tulsa now everything seems

End Is Nigh!
04:28
|
|||
I said i heard the prophets talking as they sat in secluded dark
There's a comet and its coming with escape laying just beyond
Heavens gate is flooding with believers at the heels
Of a doomsday type of prophecy from the scriptures final words
Chorus:
Hell fire will fall, from the sky
The earth will shake and the dead will rise
The sun won't shine, we are bleeding light
If you wanna survive, join us here tonight
Said two twins spoke of in the revelations, said they wanna show us the way
Across a thousand light years and on to heavens gate
Not of this world they are divine beings and they come to intervene
In the destruction of all we earned at the end of all to be
Chorus:
Hell fire will fall, from the sky
The earth will shake and the dead will rise
The sun won't shine, we are bleeding light
If you wanna survive, join us here tonight
Said death ain't the end if you follow the words that they teaching us today
More than life could let you feel when we walk the astral plains
Letting lose from this abomination of the lives we all hold close
Take a breath and step right up, stick yo neck in to the noose
Chorus:
Hell fire will fall, from the sky
The earth will shake and the dead will rise
The sun won't shine, we are bleeding light
If you wanna survive, join us here tonight

Killer On The Road
08:11
|
|||
Verse 1:
I walked alone down a dusty lonely road
I tried to run away from the mess I made
The whiskey and the speed drove me to do some awful things
Now i'm on the run and I'm living day by day
Looking for a ride to get the hell out of dodge
I couldn't walk another step in this dry sunlight
I thumbed the air and prayed to a God that didn't want me around
My luck got a whole lot better as a car pulled into sight
Chorus:
There's a killer on the road
I lived my life all wrong
If i let the Lord guide me more
He'd take my hand and walk me on home
Verse 2:
This car roared at me and swore at first it was burning screaming steed
Smoke belched behind him blackening the sky
He pulled up right beside me and hid a forked tongue
Said listen kid, you look like ya need a ride
He asked me if i knew where i was headed
I said I gotta get away and that's all I can tell you man
Said jump in kid I'm heading that way myself and dont ya know
In a mile i knew there was something wrong when he looked at me and said
Chorus:
There's a killer on the road
I lived my life all wrong
If I let the Lord guide me more
He'd take my hand and walk me on home
(Solo)
Save me save me!
Save me save me!
Verse 3:
A line of blow down the back of his throat I knew I made a mistake
I never got the chance to learn from, said i was gonna die
He served a man in black and this was the only way
To satisfy the end of his gambled life
The locks froze in place and my gut went cold I knew I neared the end
I pleaded my case and said he'll spend his life in jail
His eyes went red with a devils fire and he laughed through busted lips
Said we ain't stopping till we reach the gates of hell
Chorus:
There's a killer on the road
I lived my life all wrong
If I let the Lord guide me more
He'd take my hand and walk me on home
Verse 4:
18 wheels ended all my worries don't you know
I shredded myself through the glass until i splattered on the road
I left my body in a 1,000 pieces and I saw the holy ghost
Hand my leash the reaper of death to drag me down below
Chorus:
There's a killer on the road
I lived my life all wrong
If I let the Lord guide me more
He'd take my hand and walk me on home
(Solo)

When you head out in the morning with that shield strapped to your chest
We expect you to saintly cause boy you gotta be the best
Supposed to be a hero , an example to raise the bar
Protect and serve the people no matter who they are
Brother you ain’t the hangman, and you shouldn’t wanna be
Cause if you only got hate in your heart what example will you leave?
You stand against the evils, don’t bring that evil home
At the end of the day you can’t deny that your human after all
Chorus:
Cause if we all took the high road
And all tried this together
To make this life here work
Brother helping brother
Let everyone take the time to catch their breath
Stop all the hate and give real love a chance
Listen John Q Public cause this verse is for you
Be cautious of the response to the things you do
Your actions gonna speak louder than a FB eulogy
Don’t be a statistic be the best that you can be
It’s your duty in this life to help your fellow man
Stop pointing fingers and spewing hate just offer him a hand
You gotta have some faith if you wanna see some change
Cause fighting fire with Fire gonna burn down everything
Chorus:
Cause if we all took the high road
And all tried this together
To make this life here work
Brother helping brother
Let everyone take the time to catch their breath
Stop all the hate and give real love a chance
Stop this hurtful institution but let’s do it all alive
We’re all really the victims if we let them bullets fly
Black and white don’t matter just the color on your face
Cause we’re in the shit together as the human race
Don’t let them pull the strings oh god don’t let them egg you on
We’re all so much better than the media says we are
If we all stand up together and we let ourselves be heard
We can our world far greater than it ever really was
Chorus:
Cause if we all took the high road
And all tried this together
To make this life here work
Brother helping brother
Let everyone take the time to catch their breath
Stop all the hate and give real love a chance
