2. Everyone I Love Is Dead
[Previously unreleased edit]
[Full length version can be found on the album World Coming Down]
Seems three years - though maybe four
someone drops dead - whom i adore
you love someone - there will be grief
the kiss of death - lips of a thief - goddammit
A dusty stack of photographs
of times i cried - but mostly laughed
commit the past - into blue flame
acrid smoke - cowardly shame - goddammit
At times i'm truly terrified
cause dope and booze - don't help to hide
they're used to mask - a weakling's hurt
it's just like painting - over dirt
Everyone i love is - dead - everyone i love is - dead - all dead
life's a game i cannot win
both good and bad - must surely end
the mirrors - always tell the truth
i love myself for hating you
Everyone i love is - dead - everyone i love is - dead
everyone i love is - dead - everyone i love is - dead - goddammit
Goddammit
All dead - all dead
all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead
all dead - all dead
goddammit
3. Black No. 1
[Previously unreleased edit]
[Full length version can be found on the album Bloody Kisses]
I went looking for trouble and boy - i found her
She's in love with herself - she likes the dark
on her milk white neck - the Devil's mark
Now it's all Hallows Eve - the moon is full

She's got a date at midnight - with Nosferatu
oh baby, Lilly Munster - ain't got nothing on you
Well when i called her evil - she just laughed

Yeah you wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
you can't go out 'cause your roots are showing

Black black black black No. 1

Little wolf skin boots - and clove cigarettes
an erotic funeral - for witch she's dressed

Yeah you wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
you can't go out 'cause your roots are showing
dye em black - dye em black

4. It's Never Enough
[Previously unreleased]
[From the recording sessions of World Coming Down]
fuck you god
fuck you god
fuck you god
With my blood, time, sweat and tears
My goal is to dissolve her fears
fuck you god Self-imposed imprisonment
In this way feels she must repent - must repent
In a cell denial made
Break the lock, free her from her cage
fuck you god Realizing her days be few
Just want to make her comfortable - comfortable
No matter what i do
No matter what i do
It's never enough
No matter what i do
No matter what i do
It's never enough
Don't take her
I'll lose my mind
When it's her time
She's so scared, it's unbearable
Can't believe god could be so cruel
So cruel
She held me tight
Childhood fright
I'm so scared, there's no remedy
But so glad for the memories
So glad
fuck you god
fuck you god
fuck you god
fuck you god
For her one day undestroyed
I'd give my soul or life with joy
fuck you god
Angel face of saintly love
I curse christ that she suffers such - suffers such
No matter what i do
No matter what i do
It's never enough
No matter what i do
No matter what i do
It's never enough
No matter what i do
No matter what i do
It's never enough - never enough - never enough - never enough
5. Love You To Death
[Edit - taken from the European single Love You To Death, 1996]
[Full length version can be found on the album October Rust]
In her place one hundred candles burning - as salty sweat drips
from her breast
her hips move and i can feel what they're saying - swaying
they say the beast inside of me is gonna get ya - get ya get -

Black lipstick stains - her glass of red wine - i am your servant

6. Black Sabbath (From The Satanic Perspective)
[Taken from the European single My Girlfriend's Girlfriend, 1996]
[This cover originally appeared on Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity In Black,]
[but this rare version has Peter Steele's own lyrics, sung from the perspective of Lucifer.]
Who is she that kneels - so respectfully before me
A virgin of snow white - purity
Do not fear - my fortunate one
Let us consummate our igneous union
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
I am the shadow - with the eyes, eyes of fire
I will fulfill your every - hellish desire
Come sit on this throne - here beside me and be mine
And we'll watch the flames get higher and higher and higher and
higher...
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
This is just the start dear friends
For i have come to claim revenge
My victims turning, running scared
You people better go and beware
Your weak god can not help you now
Come, we will play in the fire
Worship the sun
Worship no one
Worship the sun
Worship no one
Worship the sun
Worship no one
7. Christian Woman
[Edit - taken from the European single Christian Woman, 1993]
[Full length version can be found on the album Bloody Kisses]
Forgive her for she knows not what she does
A cross upon her bedroom wall - from grace she will fall
an image burning in her mind - and between her thighs
A dying god-man full of pain - when will you cum again?
before him beg to serve or please - on your back or knees
No forgiveness for her sins - prefers punishment
would you suffer eternally - or internally - ah
For her lust - she'll burn in hell - her soul done medium well
all through mass manual stimulation - salvation
Corpus christi - she needs - corpus christi - corpus christi
Corpus christi - she needs - corpus christi - corpus christi
body of Christ - she needs - body of Christ - body of christ
She'd like to know - God - love - God - feel her God - inside of
her - deep inside of her - ah
She'd like to know - God - love - God - feel feel feel her god -
inside of her - deep inside of her
Inside of her - deep inside of her
Jesus christ looks like me - jesus christ - jesus christ looks
like me - jesus christ
Jesus christ looks like me - jesus christ oh - jesus christ looks
like me - jesus christ - ah
Jesus christ looks like me - jesus christ yeah - jesus christ
looks like me yea
jesus christ oh - jesus christ looks like me - jesus christ -
yeah - jesus christ looks like me - jesus christ oh
8. 12 Black Rainbows
[Taken from the European single Everything Dies, 1999]
[From the recording sessions of World Coming Down]
Idle hands may be the devil's work
Unbridled minds you see are so much worse
Too much pity spent and wasting time
Irresponsibility not my only crime no
Obsessive thinking, depressed drinking
The person i once was, he's dead
Exhume the past this time or be my last
This is my final quest to remove my mask yeah
Don't be afraid as she pulled down the shade
Said there's nothing to fear but the monster is here
So just tell me the time, be it quarter of nine
Since the sun's gone away, now the creature will play
Ice blue eyes follow me everywhere i go
Making my heart appear as lead
I hate to wish it but i'll tell you though
That i'm quite ready 'cause i'm already dead
Don't be afraid as she pulled down the shade
Said there's nothing to fear but the monster is here
So just tell me the time, be it quarter of nine
Since the sun's gone away, now the creature will play
Don't be afraid as she pulled down the shade
Said there's nothing to fear but the monster is here
So just tell me the time, be it quarter of nine
Since the sun's gone away, now the creature will play
9. My Girlfriend's Girlfriend (Cheese Organ Mix)
[Previously unreleased alternative mix]
[Original version can be found on the album October Rust]
It's no secret we're close - as sweaty velcro
like latex fur and feathers - stuck together
Now - in their '62 vette - sharing one cigarette
in a black light trance then - go go dance - then
go go trance - then
They keep me warm on cold nights - it must be quite a sight
in our meat triangle - all tangled - wow

13. Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity
[Taken from the album Slow, Deep and Hard]
Trust and you'll be trusted - says the liar to the fool
lust and so what if you're busted - in love and war there ain't
no rules
Do you believe in forever - i don't even believe in tomorrow
the only thing that last forever - are memories and sorrow
Kenny - ooh - ooh - alright check this out
Out of sight out of mind - the motto of betrayal
the prophets preach to forgive and forget - i'm sorry but i am
unable
And dont think i dont know what you're doing you stupid twat
You went to L'amour saturday night - red nails and lipstick
dressed two sizes two tight
his tongue down your throat - his hand up your skirt
yeah I'm a man - but it still hurts
Slut - whore - cunt
I know you're fucking someone else
he knows you're fucking someone else
i know you're fucking someone else
he knows you're fucking someone else
You had cunt on your mind - and cum on your breath
inserted that diaphragm before you left - practicing freelance
gynecology
where there's a womb there's a way - with you it's for free
Slut - you fucking whore - whore - youre a cunt - cunt
I know you're fucking someone else
he knows you're fucking someone else
i know you're fucking someone else
he knows you're fucking someone else
Done it before - time after time - refused to learn your lesson
gave 'til it hurt - thought it was right - only fools make
mistakes twice
So you sit home - drinking alone - empty bottle in your hand
don't even try - to sort out the lies - it's worse to try to
understand
You - you make me hate myself
I know you're fucking someone else
he knows you're fucking someone else
i know you're fucking someone else
he knows you're fucking someone else
i know you're fucking someone else
he knows you're fucking someone else
i know you're fucking someone else
he knows you're fucking someone else
I know
he knows
i said i know
he said he knows
i know - he knows - i know - he knows - i know - he knows
i know - he knows - i know - he knows - i know - he knows
i know
14. Stay Out Of My Dreams
[Previously unreleased]
[From the recording sessions of World Coming Down]
I shant think of her when i'm awake
However in sleep i can't escape
A coney island high - when i get inside
All i ask is please stay out of my dreams
Near the streets of richmond and hylan
Dwells the princess of staten island
A seven dollar toll - will get me in her hole
All i ask is please stay out of my dreams
Though long gone, she won't let me forget
When at night i wake up in her sweat
A lonely brooklyn troll, - a ghost of red hook old
All i ask is please stay out of my dreams
With your straight black hair and emerald green eyes
Hippies pointing "that's pete's sister in disguise"
Maybe you had uttered those words as a jest
I don't mind the allegations of incest
At the time i thought i could love no other
Till i heard you say that i was your brother
In your e-mail said how much we look like twins
How it turned you on just knowing it's a sin
Stay out of my dreams
I said, stay out of them
I said, stay out of my dreams
I said, stay out of my dreams
Stay out of my dreams
I said, stay out of them
I said, stay out of my dreams
I said, stay out of my - dreams
