The Fire In Her Eyes

Bleeding, the entire body’s bleeding
He was too numb to feel it
He had no eyes to see it, had no ears to hear it
The fire in her eyes, a demon in disguise
Just when he thought he knew her
Their vows were torn in two

Tumbling, this way of life is crumbling
They were to numb to feel it
They had no eyes to see it, had no ears to hear it
The smoke come from her hair twisting up into the air
She swore that she had loved them
She stole their heart and soul

Seeping , she crept in while we were sleeping
We are too numb to feel it
We have no eyes to see it, the downfall we’re completing
Now we’re the reason for the lies, the demon in disguise
The source and all the symptoms
Embedded within us.

Forever Yes

I asked her, “Do you?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes… yes… yes”
I asked her, “would you?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes… yes… yes”
I asked her , “Will you?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes, Forever yes!

Now from my heart I pledge my soul
From here to hell and rock & Roll
That’s how I know you, always will
You have my heart, you have my will”

“You know it’s forever?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes… yes… yes”
“Well aren’t you frightened?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes… yes… yes”
“Well are you ready?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes, God damnit yes!

Now from my heart I pledge my soul
From here to hell in rock & Roll
That’s how I know you, always will
You have my heart, you’ve made your kill”

Breakdown:
Breaking and clawing through what I can’t climb
of the barriers that kept us apart throughout time
When I thought you were lost but I was just blind
Unknowing we’re marked, evermore intertwined
Nothing exists at all but us now
Nothing exists at all but us now
If we go down we’ll go as one heart
The plan cannot fail the fall, our haul is now

I asked her, “Do you?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes… yes… yes”
I asked her, “would you?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes… yes… yes”
I asked her , “Will you?”
She said, “yes”, she said, “yes, Forever yes!

Now from my heart I pledge my soul
From here to hell in rock & Roll
That’s how I know you, always will
Come take me now, you’ve made your kill”

Mary Magdalene of Kettner Blvd.

Oh Mary Magdalene of Kettner Blvd.
Now they’ll cast you out for satiating all of their desires
And though I understand your suffering I had to know and watch
Mary Magdalene of Kettner Blvd.

Oh Mary Magdalene of Kettner Blvd.
Now and for all eternity you’ll have to suffer this alone
But my arms are open wide
And my arms are open, Mary Magdalene of Kettner Blvd.
She knows…

A golden chariot pulls the sun across the sky
And the tears of Isis make the Nile rise
And “a truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent” (William Blake)
She was there…

A boy wearing death as a costume
One he made all by himself
Couldn’t take the mirror off the wall
A pregnant spider with a taste for velvet

A golden chariot pulls the sun across the sky
And the tears of Isis make the Nile rise
And “a truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent” (William Blake)
We were there
Oh Mary Magdalene of Kettner Blvd.

Our Chariot Awaits

My heart has grown discontent
While holding down the fort
I heard the wrong voice calling
My ship is still at port

Alone here in my quarters
With dusk angels moving in
“Raise yourself now or never!”
Today they will not win
Round up the crew this instant
Before our path abates
Meet me down at the harbor
Our Chariot Awaits

Chorus:
For you all anew
Forego all below

I’ll hoist the banner skyward
As thieves and knaves consort
They’ve poisoned far too many
Our ship is still at port
Gather now and make ready
For what our worth dictates
Meet me down at the harbor
Our Chariot Awaits

Chorus:
For you all anew
Forego all below

Breakdown:
A soul can take just so much
Before the fight ensues
Our will be done with damage
I’ll go and light the fuse

Alone her in my quarters
With dusk angels moving in
“Raise yourself now or never!”
Today they will not win
Round up the crew this instant
Before our path abates
Meet me down at the harbor
Our Chariot Awaits
