Aileen

Aileen…everyone talks over the top of you
There's a black revolver
A finger on the pulse and dark rings circling your eyes
Circling your eyes
Aileen…all your friends believe you're innocent
There's not a shred of content
To justify a noose, incarceration, empty eyes
Justify your empty eyes
I heard the law came down on top of you
And if they heard you squeal
You'd better run for cover there's a penny on your hide
I know you had the rug swept out from under you
Aileen…now you'll never have no peace
You'll have to sleep with open eyes

Mind over matter
Over conscience
Over words which rhyme with words which go
Eloquently
Bathe the minions
Who can only know just what they know
Stoke the fire
That you've been feeding your desires
Know when the wind blows
That you got over all those barbed wire fences
Lost are the moments
Are the hours
That you surrendered to an endless cause
Light and splendor
Bask forever
Upon your worthless self which now is corpse

Soldier Of The Night

Soldier of the night
May the wind bear you on to your delight
Nothing gets nothing
Yet you give it all away
You know what's right
For you, and for them
Bring back a girl
With thorns in her hair
I'd like to feel so secure...so warm
Let's die as we died
One year prior to this night
Let go the light
Which guides us home
Hold down the veil
Let the world see your eyes
And know your mind
Blinding fury, blinding light
Cold words make graves
And the siren does wail
You are immune faithful soldier of the night
Keeper of the times
May the good lord stand you down
Arms at your side, eyes forward
In denial
No-one can know you
No-one can sell you
No-one need suffer this night

Tired Eyes

Tired eyes
Hear the footsteps at dawn
The day won't keep you long
Wakes you with the trumpets and horns
Bell clock sits beside you
And urges you on
Tired eyes
Oh, how you've been missed
Laid out...
In a Morpheus bliss
Sundown just passes you by
You'll sleep 'til the morning
And through to the night
Old ways won't give you sustenance
Won't feed the soul
You...you need your rest
Old hands reach out to pull you down
To the quicksand
And you...you need your need your rest

Hellhound On Your Trail
03:31
|

|
Deadwood, wreaths and knives
Bloodied tunics form a pile
Where you found God
Red wine mouth defines your smile
You follow beams of light
Through the black-woods of your mind
Don’t tread so hard
Hellhound on your trail tonight
Don’t fall behind, holy dancer
Don’t fall for lies
Never cower
You ain’t a child any longer
Don’t fall behind
Through seven feet of snow
Rode nine dark horsemen on the moor
Fear stops your heart
There’s a pounding at your door
Your hair hangs low
The north wind calls
Your cold blood pools
On the hard-wood floor
