Edge of Thorns
An offering of reasons
We put them all in play
A covering of treasons
That one by one we let slip away
A solitary dancer
So lost upon her stage
I have seen you on the edge of thorns
Felt you were there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the ends of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore
A study made from winter
Of summers long ago
And dreams that used to glitter
Safely now hidden under snow
And so we end the chapter
And let the stage lights fade
I have seen you on the edge of thorns
Felt you were there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the ends of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore
I have seen you on the edge of thorns
Felt you were there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the ends of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore
Anymore
I don't think about you anymore
Anymore
I don't think about you
I don't think about you
I don't think about you
I don't think about you anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Among the images of dear departed
Here with memories so closely guarded
There's an old man standing all alone
As he waits among the unforgiven
Here among the souls no longer living
Lost in chains of sin still un-atoned
He carves his stone
Oh yeah
He carves his stone
Well a man's got to do what a man must to do
But I'll never give my soul to you
No fallen angel's prophesy
Will ever take hold of the man you see
No
So here I stand all alone
With chisel in hand I work my stone
And leave a message for all to see
And leave this life of insanity
And carve that stone
He carves his stone
He carves his stone
He carves his stone
Carves that stone
Oooh!
He carves that stone
He carves his stone
He carves that stone
He carves his stone
And on that final night
You know I dream of you
And in a flash of light
I carve that stone right through
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah I carved that stone right through
Yeah
Lights Out
Yeah
Squirmin' like a live wire
Vaporizing big tire
Gonna take her down yeah
I'm really gonna make the motor run
Oh yeah
No brakes can't stop
In a ditch to the top
Just another junkie
Looking for a rush
Lights out
Running with the devil
Shouldn't gamble with your soul
Lights out
Never on the level
And you know you got to roll roll roll roll
You gonna roll
Look (yeah look)
Yeah she really makes your blood cook
Got you in a corner
Where you're doing things you never have done
Oh no
You (yeah you)
Yeah she's got you like a big fool
Keeps you in a collar
Till it's time to watch you run
Lights out
Running with the devil
Shouldn't gamble with your soul yeah
Lights out
Never on the level
And you know you got to roll
You know you're gonna roll
Lights out
Running with the devil
Shouldn't gamble with your soul
Lights out
Never on the level
And you know you got to roll
Yeah you got to roll
Lights out
Running with the devil
Shouldn't gamble with your soul
Lights out
Never on the level
And you know you got to roll
Yeah
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out

Skraggy's Tomb
Oh yeah
Summer was the season
When he tooked the ride
Women were the reason
And they say whiskey was the slide
Living on the action
Till it look him down
Crawled into his bottle
Oh and let us watch him drown
In Skraggy's tomb
Yeah Skraggy's tomb
Sometimes in the evening
Before the moon goes down
Before the dark is leaving
I could swear
Swear I see him hanging around
So I watch the shadows
And I stop and think
And I wade into the shallows
And I have another drink
From Skraggy's Tomb
Welcome to
He was a loaded man going down yeah
Always out there screaming at the moon
And every night he'd load another round
From Skraggy's tomb
There are certain things
You can't explain
We all have our attractions
And then that boy he was insane
Skraggy made his life
Made his life a crime of passion
Live a crime of passion
Skraggy
Skraggy
Skraggy
Skraggy's tomb
I'm Talkin' bout
Skraggy's tomb
Skraggy's tomb
Skraggy
Skraggy
Skraggy
Skraggy's tomb
I really want to know
What you had in store
I couldn't really tell
Maybe just it's well
I came here with a dream
And I just had to see
If my dream would soar
I knocked on every door
His whole life was a writter
Written there inside
The new weekly bible
His modern T.V. guide
Every night he stares back at the screen
A man only sees what he wants to see
When he's in his mind where he is what he wants to be
Living in a world where he's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night child and follow
Me
Won't you follow
Me yeah
Won't you follow
Me
Me
Yeah
Don't need no super heroes
Don't need no movie stars
Don't need no politicians
In big black shiny cars
Don't need no creatures
Who touches my T.V. no
A man only sees what he wants to see
When he's in his mind where he is what he wants to be
Living in a world where he's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night and follow
Me
Won't you follow
Me yeah
Won't you follow
Me
Me
Me
Once was a broken hero
The kind that we all know
The kind that hides inside us
The kind we never show
The kind we say that could never be me
Yeh yeh yeah
His whole life was a writter
Written there inside
The new weekly bible
His modern T.V. guide
Stare back at the screen
Yeah yeah
A man only sees what he wants to see
Exit Music
Instrumental
Degrees of Sanity
And so I sit here in the dark
You made the rules I played the part
I never rushed or pushed my fate
When time was tight I knew to wait
And circumstance so well disguised
Within a gathering of lies
And in the dark I lie awake
So I can watch you drive your stake
What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in your sights
And in the dark it all unwinds
I pray for change the kiss of time
And in my thoughts I sit and dwell
The labyrinth's there I know it well
What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in your sights
And all the things you never heard
While in my mind I search for words
But time was lost the curtain fell
I take my bows and wish you well
What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in your sights
Conversation Piece
I haven't thought about you for a while
It seemed so far away
I keep your picture hidden in a file
Of favorite one act plays
Like pieces of myself
Cut off in desperation
As offerings to thee
I keep them on a shelf
They're good for conversation
Over a cup of tea
Yeah
Cup of tea
I put it all down in a letter once
A letter I don't send
It made me feel much better at the time
I thought it helped me bend
The pieces of myself
Cut off in desperation
As offerings to thee yeah
I keep them on a shelf
They're good for conversation
Over a cup of tea
Yeah
Cup of tea
Like pieces of myself
Cut off in desperation
As offerings to thee yeah
I keep them on a shelf
They're good for conversation
Over a cup of tea
Yeah
Cup of tea
Ooh cup of tea
All That I Bleed
Someone
Got themselves a letter
In the mail the other day
It's already worn and tattered
And I guess
It gives away
All the things we keep inside
All the things that really matter
The face puts on its best disguise
And all is well
Until the heart
Betrays
She knows
As she reads the letter
That things were bound to stray
Winds blow
She pulls her coat tighter
And the letter flies away
With all the things she keeps inside
All the things that really matter
The face puts on its best disguise
And all is well
Until the heart betrays
Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed
Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed
And I'll fly away
Yeah I'll fly away oh
Lord I'll fly away
Watch me
Yeah
Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed
In this city of raw emotion
What's this message you bring to me
In my world of blind devotion
You were there
But I could never see
Damien
Is your heart harder
What's inside your head
Is the dark your father
Have all your years been bled
From my world I have watched and wondered
Safely here behind these walls
And your tears could they mean nothing
Is from this distance no one sees them fall
Damien
Is your heart harder
What's inside your head
Is the dark your father
Have all your years been bled
Sometimes late at night
When I'm there in bed
I lie there wondering
Where do you lay your head
And do you say your prayers any more?
And do you say your prayers?
Damien
Is your heart harder
Do you still feel pain
Does the night go farther
When you're sleeping in the rain
In the dark I have heard a calling
Broken wings that beg to fly
Is there time or is it too late
Is the cut flower no longer alive
Damien
Is your heart harder
Do you still feel pain
Does the night go farther
When you're sleeping in the rain
Damien
Damien
Yeeah
Damien
Oh
Damien
Miles Away
And a cool, cool rain comes down
On a world burned by the sun
And the moon arises like a child
And the moment is undone
And the stars never say what they see
As the moon flirts with shadows it makes
Through the fallen trees
Some would wait for the morning light
But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe
In the arms of night
Yeeah
Let the darkness roll in
Let it wipe the light away
In the distance always calling
Morpheus he beckons play
Still the morning is pre-ordained
But I believe light is the source
Of all our pain
It reveals our smallest sin
But dark covers all and will always take you
Armed and gunning
I've been running
Always just before the day
In the distance
Day is dawning
But I'm already miles away
Miles away
Yeeah
In the night there's wonder
Always there for you to see
In the light of morning
Visions fade and dreams can flee
With the darkness the night forgives
Covers our scars and lets
The lost souls live
And the morning's a distant fear
But if we move fast they'll never find us
Armed and gunning
I've been running
Through a world that's in decay
Always just before the day
Let them thunder
Stare and wonder
Cause I'm already miles away
Miles away
Yeeah
Uuuh
Miles away
I've been running
I've been gunning
Always just before the day
In the distance
Day is dawning
But I'm already miles away
Miles away
Yeeeeyeah
Yeyeah
Miles
Miles away
Miles away yeah
Miles
Miles Away
Uh yeah
Away
Away
Away
Hey there you
Way out there in the distance
Can you hear me
Are you there
I know it's late
So please forgive my persistence
But I'm hanging
Do you care
So lay back
Call off the attack
Cause if you look deep dreams
Are nothing that I lack
And all I seek
A final chance to speak
But I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep
Hey there you
Way out there could you show me
Just a signal
Or a sign
That after all
All these years that you know me
And I'm not just
Killing time
So lay back
Call off the attack
Cause if you look deep dreams
Are nothing that I lack
And all I seek
A final chance to speak
But if I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep
And as I lay there late at night
Building castles in the air
Out of alibis and all those little lies
And then I look inside and pray that I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Hey there you
Way out there in the distance
