Your Best Nightmare
Long after midnight, on a night like this
I'd sit by my black-light and dream of your kiss
Pulsating music filled my room and my head
And I dreamed what it'd be like to have you in my bed
I'm your best night, your best nightmare
I'm your best night, your best nightmare
And then it happened, you were in my arms
Your lips on my throat, your hands on my, on my...
Two bodies together the intimate sin
The pain and the pleasure could do mortals in
How could you know what I'm thinking of?
To me lust can be as beautiful as love
Here tonight, your pure heart and soul
Untainted passion should have no control
I'm your best night, your best nightmare
I'm your best night, your best nightmare
She asked me if I... I told her the truth
I said "I'm sorry it takes me longer than you"
She smiled and blushed and continued to grind
And promised to make me go out of my mind
Returning her promise she came to a halt
Licking my lips I tasted her salta
Then she sat up and gasped and clutched at her breast
I thought she was coming I'd never have guessed
That as she grew pale, as white as a flower
She collapsed to the floor and was dead in an hour.
Your best nightmare, your best
Your best nightmare, your best

Claire’s Horrors (live)
05:14
|

Spirits seem to drift up through a darkened sky
Drifting through dead branches in the night
While in the moonlight we go down upon our knees
Entwined together only we can see their beauty
Beneath the stars a bell begins to toll
For reasons which we really shouldn't know
So take a walk with me down to the cemetery
Wrap me in darkness, Claire make love to me
I am thunder, I am rain, I am pleasure, I am pain
Only in darkness can there be light, tell me angel have you prayed tonight?
In the dark I know you all so well
Beauty from Heaven wrapped 'round souls from Hell
So take a drink from me, my sacrifice to thee
Damned fallen angels, always blessed with me
I am thunder, I am rain, I am pleasure, I am pain
Only in darkness can there be light, tell me angel have you prayed tonight?
Burning darkness, red ecstasy, pull me closer and make me bleed

Such a wretched waste of time
Such a fool to be so blind
Serpents hide behind your eyes
And I'm their prey tonight
Here we go another game
Designed to butcher someone's brain
Is that emotion I see feigned?
All reason's lost on the insane
Can we end this mind-fuck please? Your treachery's beyond belief
Do you expect to bring us to our knees with your psychopathic tendencies?
Please be gone and rest assured I see you as you are, perverse
With all your lies and empty words I fear for you there is no cure
Such a wretched waste of time
Such a fool to be so blind
Serpents hide behind your eyes
And I'm their prey tonight
Sincerity has not been found
Beneath your self appointed crown
These bitter tears in which I drown
Will soon be yours to drag you down
Can we end this mind-fuck please? Your treachery's beyond belief
Do you expect to bring us to our knees with your psychopathic tendencies?
Please be gone and rest assured I see you as you are, perverse
With all your lies and empty words I fear for you there is no cure

Demon (live)

Through darkened streets and blackened gloom
The candles dim in your bedroom
Rain reflecting shadows in the night
The moon is full and through the mist
I hear your voice I feel your kiss
The line grows thin between what's wrong and right
Burning flesh pale as the stars
No one knows just who you are
Drive the knife in deeper to my soul
Velvet touch your mouth on mine
Drunk on lust like drunk on wine
The world will end we'll hear the thunder roll
Don't even say it
Don't even look away
Haunted by, haunted by
Black winged angel come to me release my soul from this misery
In the candle light you'll see
Just what all this means to me
The line grows thin between what's wrong and right
Don't even say it
Don't even look away
Haunted by, haunted by
Black winged angel come to me release my soul from this misery

Step into this picture, release all your light
I think God has gone mad here tonight
You can't believe your eyes, control is so hard to keep
Obsession can be hell from which you'll never be free
It's all for the taking, here tonight
Rip out your heart
I'll tear it apart
Throw it to the ground
All fall down
Where good girls go to die, that's where I'll be
Waiting for my love with my heart on my sleeve
Forget about the future, forget about the past
My heart beats so, my hands are cold, oh God make this moment last
You seek to fill me with virtues I lack
I'll turn your pure white wings to pure black
You've pushed too far and now you've lost control, can't you see?
You thought you were the master but you're down on your knees
It's all for the taking, here tonight
Rip out your heart
I'll tear it apart
Throw it to the ground
All fall down
Where good girls go to die, that's where I'll be
Waiting for my love with my heart on my sleeve
Forget about the future, forget about the past
My heart beats so, my hands are cold, oh God make this moment last
Where good girls go to die, that's where I'll be
Remembering our love as if it were a disease
Forget about the future, it wasn't meant to last
My heart beats slow my hands are cold - Oh God it's the end at last

Kiss (live)

You'll never understand
The meaning in the end
We're standing at the Gate
You'll meet the darker fate
Your purity and rage
Your passion and your hate
You promised more than bliss
With your God and with your kiss
I'm on my knees, I beg your mercy
My soul is my loss, I'm well hung from your cross
Take me, take me in your arms my love and rape me
Don't hide behind your rage I know you love me, and always will
You're my possession, of that my love there really is no question
Don't hide behind your rage I know you love me and always will
My better half it's true
Has seen the darker side of you
Innocence stripped away
At least I have the brighter fate
I'm on my knees, I beg your mercy
My soul is my loss, I'm well hung from your cross
Take me, take me in your arms my love and rape me
Don't hide behind your rage I know you love me, and always will
You're my possession, of that my love there really is no question
Don't hide behind your rage I know you love me and always will

They want to tell you what to think
They want to tell you what to feel
They want to tell you what is right and what is wrong
They want to tell you what is real
What ever happened to us? What ever happened to love?
We were the real thing, We were the real thing
America's a fucking disease, Get on your back or down on your knees
Don't question what you want to believe, Don't question what you want to believe
Are you afraid of the truth?
Are you afraid what you'd find?
Are you happy in denial?
Are you happy being blind?
Love turned to vanity, Truth turned hypocrisy
We were the real thing, Now we are nothing
America's a fucking disease, Get on your back or down on your knees
Don't question what you want to believe, Don't question what you want to believe
And you won't ever see the truth, You can't be questioned if you're strong
And you won't ever stop to think if what you've done is right or wrong
Because you're on the side of God and you've crowned yourself a king
But when you're not among your little sheep you just don't understand a thing
America's a fucking disease, Get on your back or down on your knees
Don't question what you want to believe, Don't question what you want to believe

Feeling Fascist? (live)
04:48
|
|||
Are you feeling fascist? Are you feeling mean?
We don't need a reason, we don't need a thing
We destroy just who we want to, brutality is "in"
Oppression is our weapon, chaos is our king
If ignorance is really bliss you should be happy you should be happy
If you amount to only this I'm really sorry I'm really sorry
We never heard of free will, independence is a sin
If you think you're superior then you're as good as in
It's psychosis and delusion, arrogance, denial
And so much more awaits you, yeah, we sell it by the mile
If ignorance is really bliss you should be happy you should be happy
If you amount to only this I'm really sorry I'm really sorry
And are we justified? I don't think so
But we never let the truth get in the way
And when you're crucified who will you turn to?
You can sell your soul to cover up the pain
So if you're feeling fascist and if you're conscience is clean
We're holier than everyone and immorally supreme
Don't question what we tell you, just devour what we sell
Why should we serve in Heaven when we could rule all in Hell?
If ignorance is really bliss you should be happy you should be happy
If you amount to only this I'm really sorry I'm really sorry

Revenge (live)
04:16
|

Written in vulgar disgust of ignorance, prejudice and jealousy:
Deep in this blackened void, the space that used to be my soul
No ray of light, no hope has shown there in the darkened cold
In time memories and pain will fade and disappear they must
But not until this mortal being has turned to scattered dust
You cannot judge what you don't understand
Take the blade from the child's hand
All the petty lies and the jealous whores
Matter little and leave me bored
Repent, Remorse, Revenge
Repent, Remorse, Revenge
Why don't you just crucify me, nail me to a cross
And bite and scratch and make me scream if that will get you off?
In time memories and pain will fade and disappear they must
But not until this mortal being has turned to scattered dust
You say a fall from grace would suit me well
Well you can crawl straight back to Hell
Fear not to lie, it will seem a sharper hit
Nor to blaspheme, it will pass for wit
You cannot judge what you don't understand
Take the blade from the child's hand
All the petty lies and the jealous whores
Matter little and leave me bored
Repent, Remorse, Revenge
Repent, Remorse, Revenge

Sacrifice (live)
06:44
|

...and here we go again
We've taken it to the end
With every waking moment
We face this silent torment
I'd sacrifice, sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you
Darkness...
Is all I want to see
I could never put in to words
What it is you mean to me
I'd sacrifice, sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you
The candle's burning lower
At the window to my soul
The reaper's at my door now
He's come to take me home
I'd sacrifice, sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you
