Pray for all you need this day
To make the demons go away
Break the habit and affliction
Turn your life to fact from fiction

Turn the wheel that binds the cross
That hides the shame and hides the loss
Hidden deep as you can get it
Helps you conform, where you can't

Lift the Athame to the Darkness ever calling
Strike up the power and the purpose is not falling
They tried to brake my mind with hatred never ending
Beyond their knowledge its returning, I am sending!

Destroy me now you've had you're time and it is failing
Keep it flowing,

Wake me from a rich brocaded sleep
With a touch so cold it leaves me weak
Draw the curtain, lift the veil
Tell the Gothic fairytale
Of dreams and desire

Bring me flowers of pain and sweet decay
Gifts that may not see the light of day
Flesh on palest flesh will be

Come and follow me, put on your finery
Explore the mystery of the Carnival Noir
It's a peepshow, a burlesque, a freak show
A unique show at the Carnival Noir

Take a step across the threshold of innocence
Don't look back and do not hesitate
Join us in a world of dreams

Hello Mrs Average Joe Schmo
We would like you to say hello
To the baby deep inside you
Choose the sex, yes you decide
Sublimation of good taste
Exaltation of the race
Red or yellow, black or white
You can choose what you think right

Standing in the shade burning in the sun
Sorting through the shadows of the things I've done
Hints of recollection, Tricks of memory
Just a picture hanging in the dead man's gallery

Taken for a trip, taken for a ride
Kicking through the evidence of things you need to hide

Do you recognise my face
In the evenings dying light
Since time took note of your damned race
I have followed in plain sight
Been there in the bitter hatred
Organised a thousand bloody wars
Made the righteous burn in obscurity
Of your children I've made whores

Night is coming, light is fading
At the failing of the year
Wind is rising, storm is threatening
Samhain night is once more here
Put aside your childish games
Watch the skies with adult dread
For tonight will bring the fury
Welcome the unwelcome dead

Adam, Quentin Oscar, Beau,
Players in the Grand Charade
Peacock Feathers, Art Nouveau
All the rest just tried too hard
Chance your luck, take the bet
Cross the line and voices warn
One step further and they'll get
Pistols at dawn

Forsaken, we are forsaken
The lines have all been drawn
And the vows have all been taken
Forsaken, we are forsaken
Abandoned and bereft, we are alone

Taste the anger at the fear of parting
Tend the flowers of our grief
Break the silence of the endless waiting
Fi

One touch to hurt so much
Caught within a fading grip
So fair, laid bare
Precious drops that are let slip
Angels mute in admiration
Gaze upon a prostrate form
Ecstasy in indecision
Wait to be reborn.

Between the pleasure and the pain a gift is given
Precious

We hide in the shadows; we come with the night
We poison your dreams as you turn from the light
Sinners and saviours, a dark nemesis
We will break you, my darling, with one goodnight kiss

We are the nightmares that you know so well
We'll take you to heaven and leave you in

He speaks with Salvador and Pablo
And he insists on first name terms
He sees the world is burning
As the pathetic take their turn
He burns the bridges as he finds them
For traitors' thoughts he has no time
And he's often heard to tell them
Where there's no rhythm ther

Every city has a tale to tell
And if it's told it must be well
If you've got no style then go to hell

Everybody hides a sordid crime
You've got yours and I've got mine
The time you forgot not to cross the line

Tonight were gonna clash like High Class Gutter Trash

Through transubstantiation they come to claim your soul
With blood and tears and promises they leave you less than whole
Then let them put your innocence to fire and to the sword
While inattentive children sing the praises of an inattentive lord
In the houses of the holy

Antique love, enshrined, protected
From the dust of history
Paper flowers of devotion
Caged in bright sterility
Time is now past for regret
Time to forgive but never forget

Got to see, got to see, my way through this reality

Here I sit now looking at the blank wall
Seeing all the things that I've never ever seen before
Here I sit now staring at the blank screen
Waiting for the inspiration that always makes me start to scream
