Tracks



01. Maggots And Riots

Love=Death=Pain.
I've been real good, big suprise.
Black on your face paints my smile.
When will you learn, denial!

You know you're wrong, say it.
You know you're wrong, say it.
You know you're wrong, say it.

Knows strong.
Pressure for too long.
God knows your law, your law.
Under pressure.

In my eyes I am strong, I am king.
Black orange swirl, shout at me, shout at me.
I'll be your master, don't you think, don't you think... it's love you're after?

02. Criminal

Get up and fight.
Stand up and fight.

Liar!
Liar!
Liar!

...Needles in eye, wasting my time.

Pussy!
Pussy!
Pussy!

I hate you and you and you and you...

I'm flying!
I'm flying!
I'm flying!
I'm flying!
You can't stop me!
You can't stop me!
You can't stop me!
You can't stop me!


I drink my whiskey.
I burn my clothes.
You shove cocaine up your nose.
I'm high on you.
I'm high on you.

Oh my God.
Daddy, can't you stop the pain?
You can't, like a criminal.

03. Distortion Of Nature

That is the law.

This is the law.

04. Crooked

I could never be a crook.
Never be...

Crooked.
Crooked.
Crooked.
Bastards!

Fuck the law!

Crooked.
Crooked.
Crooked.
Bastards!


I can't live with myself.
I can't look at the sky.
I can't look at myself.
I can't look in the eye.

05. Butterflies

[Instrumental]

06. Unearthed

In my dodge.

Steve, don't be afraid.

07. The Descent

Why am I pissing blood?
I can't live, I can't eat.
Time has risen.
Land of the free.
It is no gift, honesty.
It is my life.
Don't promise me shit.

Drunk sad fuck.
Live your life, don't live mine.
Leave me alone.
I don't wanna be sane.
I don't wanna be saved.
I don't wanna be safe.
Leave me alone.

Wait and see what you'll get...

(The best is yet) to come...

There oughta be truth inside.
Honestly, I've nothing to hide.
You aren't the victim.
You are the plague.
I stand for freedom.
I'm not a slave.

Lost away.
Locked inside.
Here I stand the test of time.
Time has risen.
Land of the fake.
It is no gift, honesty.

08. Death Requiem

The path I walked in my life.
A lonely road...
I fell under the spell a long time ago.
I searched, I looked for hope.
No one is there.
In death, so sweet, this sleep.
I try not to care.

No heartbeat, fake smiles.
Cold hands in dirt.

At least I lived as hard as I could...
You made my life complete.
You gave me a home.

Slit the throat.
Drain your blood.
Wash the hate from the dove.

Do it for me.
Do it for me.
Do it for me.
Do it for me.

I will wash it all away.
You've been beaten.
Kill that stray.
Stop that crying.
Don't cry out loud.
You keep your silence and wear it proud.

I can't say what I see just because you're sellin' me.
You're not real, your face Is fake.
(The world revolves around your fate.
It's not fair, the shit you do. )
All the pain, all that's due.

No bullshit.
No bullshit.
No bullshit.
No bullshit.

Hard times for everyone, everywhere.
I dont wanna be your dumb machine.
No brain, no sleep.

09. Christianized Magick

"...And all for you morons, infidels, and fools!... that think I had anything to do with it, go to Hell! Go to Hell! I loved my wife more than any man could love his wife on the face of the Earth. I'd have died for her. I took care of her, she was my life. I didn't do anything but love her and for all you sick sons of bitches out there that think I had anything to do with her life, go to Hell! Go to Hell! Think what you might but you can kiss my ass!"

10. Voice Of Reason: Vicious Barker

[Instrumental]

11. Face After The Shot

You could be my way out.
Misery.
Cast the doubt.
Look beyond.
Pain inside.
Try to live.
Don't try to hide.

I need ya here.
I want ya here.
You keep me sane.
Please don't leave me here.

Decide what side you're on.

12. The Ivory Of Self-Hate

[Instrumental]

13. The Nailing

Disguise your happy.
Drive your will down.
Design your backseat.
Take this pill, now.

You're up in flames and it's your world now.
Try to be strong, though I know you won't try at all.
It won't be easy, you can take down anyone.
Love up in flames and it won't come down.

Stop crying those tears, it won't help anyway.
I'm buying your fears, you're short on love.
It's no use to beg, I can't hear you anyway.
Stand up and fall, you've been set up.
There's no easy way, you're nothing at all.
Inside of the truth, you live no lives.
In spite of the truth, you spread more lies.
You're doubting the question, you won't back off.

I get it, no shit.
Don't do it, dumb dog.

Nail 'em!
Nail 'em!
Nail 'em!
Not a chance.

I lean forwards, I fall backwards.
I lean forwards, time crawls backwards.

Round and round and round it goes.
Where it stops, nobody knows.
Round and round and round it goes.
Where it stops, nobody knows.

You probably will stare though you say you can't see.
Impossible pair, it's fate they can't see.

Round and round and round it goes.
Where it stops, nobody knows.
Round and round and round it goes.
Where it stops, nobody knows.

How I love you till the end.
My love for you...
My love for you will never end.

14. Mistake

[Instrumental]

15. Invincible

Gotta skip this town.
Get it on the way.
Never can look down.
Gotta lead the way.

I'm jokin'.
I'm chokin'.
I'm jokin'.
I'm chokin'.

Lookin' far beyond.
Lookin' way up high.
Paint the sky so black.
I will never die.

Rippin' it out of me.
Rippin' it out of me.
Rippin' it out of me.
Rippin' it out of me.

It just might be, you just might die.
It just might be, you just might die.
It just might be, you just might die.
It just might be, you just might die.

Live your life in agony.
What I say is what I mean.
I might be tempted.
Don't treat me like a dog.

...Run fast, so hard now.
Now I cannot wait.
This is the test of my endless fate.

Pleased to meet ya'.
Treat to beat ya.
Pleased to meet ya'.
Treat to beat ya, ya goddamn hippie!

Live your life in agony.
What I say is what I mean.
I might be tempted.
Don't treat me like a dog.

All of your young will die .
All of your young will die .
All of your young will die .
All of your young will die .

You never answer.
You never answer.
You never answer.
You're makin' me insane, ya goddamn idiot!


I'm not sure, it's not clear.
Let me find an answer for you.

I will not say it can't be done.
I've missed it, pissed it, kissed it away.
Now there's silence, only silence.
Lonely silence, I don't hear anyone.
No turning back, I've gone too far.
Cut through my skin, I can't be who you are.

I guess I don't fit in, goodbye.
I know I don't fit in, goodbye.
I guess I don't fit in, goodbye.
I know I don't fit in, goodbye.

Goodbye.

16. Aurora

[Instrumental]

17. Sadness Will Prevail

I tore it, I tore it down.
To lift it up off the ground.
It makes me, it brings me down.
And all I am, on the ground.

At night I wrap myself in pain.
And I'll never see again...

My cover, that you have blown.
I wish this path I did not go.
It makes me, it brings me down.
And all I am, on the ground.

At night I wrap myself in pain.
And I'll never see again...

18. Myriad

...
C'mon Cheri.
Don't you Cheri.

C'mon Cheri.
Don't you move Cheri.

God has risen.

Beaten, sufferin'.
Beaten wannabe.

It's so clear, slow.
Locked in slow.

Olly olly oxen free.
Slow slipped and free.

It's run down.
Pissed down the stream.

Olly olly oxen free.
Slow slipped and free.

It's a place inside your head.

19. Spaceship

[Instrumental]

20. Flowers Made Of Flesh

"It's alright, it's okay, there's something to live for... Jesus told me so! "

Dying.
Trying.
Lying.

May peace be with you, forever more.
If Christ could kill you and bleed your sores.

I wanna be alright, I wanna be ok.
I wanna be alright, I wanna be ok.

You could be you...
You could be you...
You could be you...
You could be you...

Dying.
Trying.
Lying.

Now!

I can't take this, I want to die.
I want you with me.
A kiss goodbye...

"The realization seriously hit me - no way. I have absolutely no fucking money. I have no hope of getting any money until Coven is finished. Aesthetically, I'm not ready. The script is not ready. The casting... hasn't even begun. The locations are scant at best. Are you crazy?"

28. Never Answer The Phone

"I don't even know how long she's been gone. It's like I've woken up in bed and she's not here... because she's gone to the bathroom or something. But somehow, I just... I just know she's never gonna come back to bed. If I could just... reach over and touch... her side of the bed, I would know that it was cold, but I can't. I know I can't have her back... but I don't want to wake up in the morning, thinking she's still here. I lie here not knowing... how long I've been alone. So how... how can I heal? How am I supposed to heal if I can't... feel time?"



"Rosemary: What have you done to it? What have you done to its eyes?
Roman: He has his father's eyes.
Rosemary: What are you talking about?! Guy's eyes are normal! What have you done to him? You maniacs!
Roman: Satan is his father, not Guy. He came up from Hell and begat a son of mortal woman. (Coven members cheer 'Hail, Satan!') Satan is his father and his name is Adrian. He shall overthrow the mighty and lay waste their temples. He shall redeem the despised and wreak vengeance in the name of the burned and the tortured. Hail, Adrian! Hail, Satan!
Coven members: Hail, Satan!
Minnie: He chose you out of all the world - out of all the women in the whole world, he chose you. He arranged things, because he wanted you to be the mother of his only living son.
Roman: His power is stronger than stronger! His might shall last longer than longer.
Japanese man: Hail, Satan!
Rosemary: No! It can't be! No!
Minnie: Go look at his hands.
Laura-Louise: And his feet.
Rosemary: Oh, God!
Roman: God is dead! Satan lives! The year is One, the year is One! God is dead!
...Why don't you help us out, Rosemary? Be a real mother to Adrian. You don't have to join if you don't want to. Just be a mother to your baby. "
