Black Laden Crown
1. Black Laden Crown
I will lay you down
On a black laden crown
As your eyes open wide
Let your heart bleed to die
I will lay you down
On your blood eagle crown
Lay your wings open wide
Let the skies bleed to die
2. Eyes Ripping Fire
Deep in the warmth of the Devil's breast
That's where I live
Strong with my back to the darkened stone
Never end
Beyond the night
Beyond the veil
Beyond the mystery
Inside the dream
Inside the void
More than you'll ever need
Eyes ripping fire
Cold-burning stare, forever seized
Stone-faced messiah
One flash of light is all you'll see
Hot on the heels of the setting sun
That's where I live
Deep down inside of the blackest sun
Never end
Beyond the night
Beyond the veil
Beyond the mysteries
Inside the dream
Inside the void
More than you'll ever need
Eyes ripping fire
Cold-burning stare, forever seized
Stone-faced messiah
One flash of light is all you'll see
3. Devil On Hwy 9
Pedal to the metal on a thousand miles
Of the blackest road you can drive
Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
Keep your eyes on the fuckin' line
Demons stare as you blaze on by
All the faces of the dead and dyin'
Keep your hands on the wheel, make those tires peel
If you're gonna make this run alive
Devil on-
Devil on highway 9
Devil on-
Devil on highway 9
Devil on-
Devil on highway 9
Devil on-
Devil on highway 9
Devil to the metal, let that engine roar
Got a hundred miles left [to drive]
Keep your eyes on the line, don't you waste no time
And leave the CHiPs in your dust to cry
Devil on-
Devil on highway 9
Devil on-
Devil on highway 9
Devil on-
Devil on highway 9
Devil on-
Devil on highway 9
4. Last Ride
Lay you down, lay you dead
No more tears, no more breath
And the numbness chills my side
And then there's nothing till the sunlight cries
The glazing eyes all full of flies
And then there's nothing till the sunlight ride
And when you walk that veil of night
And you're too numb to realize
That you're going out on your last ride
And I'm lonely when the world has died
And I'm killing time down on my last ride
And I'm lonely when the world has gone and died
And I'm lonely when the world has died
Yet I'm killing time down on my last ride
Fuck I'm lonely when the world has come and died
And I'm born to take that ride
And I'm born to take that ride
And if I'm gonna see that light
Just killing time on my last ride
And I'm born to take that ride
And I'm born to take that ride
And if I'm gonna see that light
Just killing time on my last ride
5. The Witching Hour
And the clock strikes one
[A date] with the gun
Yeah the witching hour comes upon
All the waiting ones
And the hand strikes six
On the river Styx
And the witching hour long past dead
Raise a solemn drink
And the clock strikes eighteen
And it's nothing like you've ever seen
Cuz the witching hour's drawing near
Oh, your darkest fear
And the clock strikes one
[A date] with the gun
Yeah the witching hour comes upon
All the waiting ones
Morning star, light my way
Blackest light, keep me straight
Candle burn, light the skies
Hear my name, no more [hide]
6. But A Nightmare
I am but a nightmare lurking in your darkest dream
Creeping like a phantom as your breathing starts to sink
I am just a devil waiting for your pulse to slow
Patiently just waiting til your glow is never more
I am just a spectre floating right above your face
Siphoning your life force as your eyes begin to fade
I am but a devil, nothing more and nothing less
Preying on the weakest- harvesting the dead
I am but a nightmare living in your darkest dream
Creeping like a phantom as your breathing starts to sink
I am just a devil waiting for your pulse to slow
Waiting, ever waiting, waiting ever more!
7. Skulls & Daisies
Down Louisiana
Alligator roam and prey
Tonton bring the nighttime
Baron Samedi
[Girl'a Gina Lonely]
Ain't got her no man
Wouldda like to come and see her bloody dance
Wouldda like to come and see her bloody dance
Say that Creole girl
Hadda house up on a hill
Picking skulls and daisies
Voodoo dolls and sin
Name'a Gina Lonely
Ain't got her no man
Wouldda like to come and see her once again
Wouldda like to come and see her once again
Dagger through the heart'll drive you crazy
Dagger through the heart drive you insane
Spirits of the night can make you lonely
Dagger through the heart drive you insane
Hey that Creole girl
Gotta house up on the hill
Picking skulls and daisies
Voodoo dolls and sin
Hey why Gina Lonely,
And she ain't got her no man?
And wouldda like to come and see her once again
Wouldda like to come and see her once again
Dagger through the heart'll drive you crazy
Dagger through the heart drive you insane
Spirits of the night can make you lonely
Dagger through the heart drive you insane
Dagger through the heart'll drive you crazy
Dagger through the heart drive you insane
Spirits of the night can make you lonely
Dagger through the heart drive you insane
8. Blackness Falls
Blackness falls across your face
Never fails to leave a trace
Shadow cross, shadow [reign]
In the time it takes to [bleed]
Blackness falls upon your cheek
Heal us strong and strip the weak
Daylight end and nighttime rise
On the scale of serpentine
Blackness seeps into your blood
Slithers in thick as mud
Blackest in, blackest out
Yeah you know, it's all about-
Blackness drips into your eyes
Wipe the tears, bleeding smile
Shadow cross, shadow die
Like the tongue- serpentine
9. Pull The Sun
I pull the sun into her eye
They've lost their glow, no surprise
Gray morning comes into your eye
I pull the sun down from the sky
I pull the stars out of the night
I give them to you until we die
See how they shine, no surprise
I pull the stars down from the sky
And it's [real]
Dead as well
And it's [real]
Dead as well
I wish the moon into your eye
See how it glows, no surprise
And all the tides shift in your mind
I blot the sun out for all time
And it's [real]
Dead as well
And it's [real]
Dead as well
