The Legend Of Becky Cotton
Please remember, my guns are loaded
So be careful when you open my drawers
I have lifted the axe before
But don’t be shy, come step through my door
Yes, my beauty fooled the jury
I escaped the gallows pole
Turn off the lights and close your eyes
I’ll make you bleed, eventually
So, tell me now, I won’t tell a soul
Are you really willing to die
Die for love
Don’t go sleeping by the fire
There’s no telling what I might do
A deadly dose of nightshade
In your tea could be the end of you
Turn off the lights and go to sleep
I’ll sink you deep into Beaverdam Creek
So, tell me now, I won’t tell a soul
Are you really willing to die for love
Tell me now, I won’t tell a soul
Are you really willing to die, die for love
So, what is murder, anyway
So, what is murder, anyway
Just an extreme expression of love
Turn off the lights and close your eyes
I’ll make you bleed, eventually
So, tell me now, I won’t tell a soul
Are you really willing to die for love
Tell me now, I won’t tell a soul
Are you really willing to die, die for love
34 Million-Mile-Mission
We have said our goodbyes, and now the earth is fading
We will never come back, but the future is ours for the taking
We’ve been given a new life
We are the chosen ones
Out there under the two moons
We will build our homes
We are the first generation, forever we will be remembered
Bury, bury our bones on the planet where no man’s been buried
We’ve been given a new life
We are the chosen ones
Out there under the two moons
We will build our homes
Far, far away, this spaceship will sail
On our 34 million-mile-mission
Far, far away, this spaceship will sail
On our 34 million-mile-mission
Space race, onwards we sail towards our dry and dusty goal
Protect us from cosmic rays and solar flares, here we go
We’ve been given a new life
We are the chosen ones
Out there under the two moons
We will build our homes
Far, far away, this spaceship will sail
On our 34 million-mile-mission
Far, far away, this spaceship will sail
On our 34 million-mile-mission
Mother Of Evil
For the lack of money, you sent him away
In order to survive you made your sacrifice
But it didn’t take long until it felt like a dream
All the memories faded as time went by
And you chose the easy path and left him there
For all those years
And I guess you never knew what he went through
You never saw the tears
Only the Devil knows what happened in the dark
Only the Devil knows what gave birth to his evil spark
And you chose the easy path and left him there
For all those years
And I guess you never knew what he went through
You never saw the tears
Mother of evil
You paid the price for a childhood gone wrong
Mother of evil
Blown to bits in the sky by your own son
In the name of greed and in the name of revenge
He decided to trade your life for money
And the innocent victims never stood a chance
He didn’t give a damn if he killed everybody
And you chose the easy path and left him there
For all those years
And I guess you never knew what he went through
You never saw the tears
Mother of evil
You paid the price for a childhood gone wrong
Mother of evil
Blown to bits in the sky by your own son
Mother of evil
You paid the price for a childhood gone wrong
Mother of evil
Blown to bits in the sky by your own son
Mother of evil
You paid the price for a childhood gone wrong
Mother of evil
Blown to bits in the sky by your own son

I will kill a hundred thousand people
To win this fight
The only option is survival by conquest
I’ll eliminate the possibility of any retreat
We’ll be burning all the ships tonight

You will be defeated, I’ll show no mercy
Burn, burn, burn
Your city will burn
In the name of the Spanish crown
You are all going down, down, down
Can you hear me

Evel Knievel
Color me lucky, Superman just doesn’t die
You were the last gladiator
On your skycycle you reached for the stars
And jumped across Snake River
For the thrill and for the money
You beat the hell out of death
Evel Knievel, all you wanted was to fly
Evel Knievel, to fly through the air
Evel Knievel, all you wanted was to fly
Evel Knievel, like a rocket through the air
You jumped the rattlesnakes, and the mountain lions
Behold the small-town rebel
With three stars across your chest, you made the people hold their breath
You motorcycle daredevil
For the thrill and for the money
You beat the hell out of death
Evel Knievel, all you wanted was to fly
Evel Knievel, to fly through the air
Evel Knievel, all you wanted was to fly
Evel Knievel, like a rocket through the air
Evel Knievel, all you wanted was to fly
Evel Knievel, to fly through the air
Evel Knievel, all you wanted was to fly
Evel Knievel, like a rocket through the air
Evel Knievel, Evel Knievel, Evel Knievel, Evel Knievel
Evel Knievel, all you wanted was to fly
Evel Knievel, to fly through the air
Evel Knievel, all you wanted was to fly
Evel Knievel, like a rocket through the air
When The King Cried
When the king cried
The whole nation cried with him
And as we close our eyes
We still feel the pain within
There’s nothing that can give us back
What we have lost
We’ll never get back to the same
Level of trust
Only the good die young
How come evil seem to live forever
Now that all is said and done
We must face the future together
There’s nothing that can give us back
What we have lost
We’ll never get back to the same
Level of trust
When the king cried
He cried for freedom, let it be stronger than fear
So, live your life just like a star
And throw your light upon everywhere
There’s nothing that can give us back
What we have lost
We’ll never get back to the same
Level of trust
There are no words that can heal the pain we feel
But we all know now what matters the most
There are no words that can heal the pain we feel
But we all know now what matters the most
We have all been scarred for life
Can you hear our silent screams
But we were born to live and shine
So, we will shine upon your broken dreams
There’s nothing that can give us back
What we have lost
We’ll never get back to the same
Level of trust
There are no words that can heal the pain we feel
But we all know now what matters the most
There are no words that can heal the pain we feel
But we all know now what matters the most
There are no words that can heal the pain we feel
But we all know now what matters the most
There are no words that can heal the pain we feel
But we all know now what matters the most
When the king cried
The whole nation cried with him
The King Is Dead
Yes, we will do as we are told
We are but soldiers
Just marching on and on towards your goal
Yes, we will give our lives for you
No questions asked
Just say the word, we'll fight to the very last
And one by one we die
For king and country
Yes, one by one we die
For king and country
We are the puppets, we are dancing on your stage
We are the killers, we're the hand of fate
We pull the trigger, we deliver all your hate
We will forever sleep, while you will stay awake
And one by one we die
For king and country
Yes, one by one we die
For king and country
Don't think, don't be clever
Don't you ever hesitate
Don't stop, but march forever
Just accept your fate
No man shall surrender, there will be no turning back
Just arm yourself to your teeth, get ready for the attack
Yes, we will do as we are told
We are but soldiers
Forever marching on towards your goal
Yes, we will give our lives for you
No questions asked
Just say the word, we'll fight to the very last
And one by one we die
For king and country
Yes, one by one we die
For king and country
The king is dead, long live the king
The king is dead, long live the king
The war is over, long live the war
The war is over, long live the war
All My Life
It took a lot of hate to get me here
But it could’ve taken forever
It took a lot of hate to get me here
It took a lot of love to finally wake up
To see the truth behind the make up
It took a lot of love to finally wake up
So, if you’ve seen me walking in the rain
Don’t feel sorry for me
I wouldn’t have it any other way
All my life, every single breath
Every stone I’ve turned, I’ve turned for you
All my life, every single step
Every bridge I’ve burned, I’ve burned them all for you
It took a lot of pain to feel alive
But that’s okay, hey that’s alright
It took a lot of pain to feel alive
It took a lot of pleasure to realise
Love cuts you like a knife
It took a lot of pleasure to realise
So, if you’ve seen me walking in the rain
Don’t feel sorry for me
I wouldn’t have it any other way
All my life, every single breath
Every stone I’ve turned, I’ve turned for you
All my life, every single step
Every bridge I’ve burned, I’ve burned for you
All my life, every single breath
Every stone I’ve turned, I’ve turned for you
All my life, every single step
Every bridge I’ve burned, I’ve burned them all for you

I am the jester
In My Darkest Hour
And in my darkest hour
Through a river of tears
I see the shape of you
The answer to my prayers
Open the door
You’ve got the key
Through the wind and snow
Come set me free
Your demons will be the end of you
But my creation
Your pain and misery
Will lead to my salvation
Open the door
You’ve got the key
Through the wind and snow
Come rescue me
One of us must die tonight
Oh, can’t you see
Only through your death will I survive
It’s killing me
One of us must die tonight
Oh, can’t you see
How it’s killing me
And in my darkest hour
You break down before my eyes
And in the blackness of your heart
I see the truth, no more lies
Open the door
You’ve got the key
Through the wind and snow
Come set me free
One of us must die tonight
Oh, can’t you see
Only through your death will I survive
It’s killing me
One of us must die tonight
Oh, can’t you see
How it’s killing me
One of us must die tonight
Oh, can’t you see
Only through your death will I survive
It’s killing me
Hill Of Skulls
People dying for nothing
Preceded by moral blindness
You can do anything you want to
There will be no consequences
Nations battling one another
In this timeline of the worlds history
Brother killing brother
The ebb and flow of global power
Another religious conversion
To expand its rule
Citizenship in exchange for loyalty
That’s how you get fooled
A military conquest, a political sabotage
On this hill of skulls
Where empires fall, where empires rise
On this hill of skulls
Where empires fall, where empires rise
Heroes dying for freedom
Outnumbered, but not defeated
Lord of lords, king of kings
You never saw it coming
It’s the sin of hybris
The abuse of power
The imposition of your will at all cost
Will be your downfall
Imperial collapse, power in chains
On this hill of skulls
Where empires fall, where empires rise
On this hill of skulls
Where empires fall, where empires rise
On this hill of skulls
Where empires fall, where empires rise
On this hill of skulls
Where empires fall, where empires rise
Burn The Sky
It’s been too long since we’ve been down this road
Release the tigers, back into the wild
No longer will we carry this heavy load
We’ll be flying higher than we’ve ever done before
Just push the door wide open
Here we go
This time we’ll make it last
On with the show
Here we are, together
We’ll burn the sky
Here we are, together
We’ll burn the sky
We’ll burn the sky
The sleeping giants won’t be asleep no more
Light a fire for everyone to see
All the diamonds in this whole wide world
Couldn’t shine brighter than you and me
Just push the door wide open
Here we go
This time we’ll make it last
On with the show
Here we are, together
We’ll burn the sky
Here we are, together
We’ll burn the sky
No more roaring silence, not ever again
We won’t be drowning in the devils lake
Just keep your eyes on the horizon
You’ll see the tigers, and you’ll see the flame
Just push the door wide open
Here we go
This time we’ll make it last
On with the show
Here we are, together
We’ll burn the sky
Here we are, together
Here we are, together
We’ll burn the sky
Here we are, together
We’ll burn the sky
Black Feathers
The storm has never been more dangerous
Than it is right now
Your life's on the line, who can you trust
Trust no one
There will be no shelter, nowhere to hide
The storm has never been more dangerous
Can you imagine its full power
With staggering scope
Picture yourself stranded by rising flood waters
Inch after inch of rain, killing all hope
Can you imagine its full power
We all knew this day would come
Open your eyes, look at what you’ve done
Black feathers falling to the ground
Black feathers falling from the sky
Black feathers falling down
Roads will be flooded, heavy rain will fall
Right to your doorstep, it will come for us all
You’re in denial, sleep tight while you can
Roads will be flooded, heavy rain will fall
We all knew this day would come
Open your eyes
Now, look at what you’ve done
Black feathers falling to the ground
Black feathers falling from the sky
Black feathers falling down
Black feathers
We are all living on borrowed time
When are you gonna wake up and realise
We will all face the same fear
We are all living on borrowed time
We all knew this day would come
Open your eyes
Take a look at what you’ve done
Black feathers falling to the ground
Black feathers falling from the sky
Black feathers falling down
Black feathers falling from the sky
Black feathers falling to the ground
Black feathers
