Train of the Damned
02:58
|

|
Can you hear my whistle blowing
as I come roaring down the line?
Flowing from my smoke stack
black toxic clouds that rape the sky
Freight cars full of terrors
the coals in my belly scorch the land
Derailing at the station
All aboard the train of the damned

Ten of Diamonds

|
Play your mandolin, girl, and I will sing along
I've waited too long just to make you mine
I guess you'll have to go and I don't wanna know
whether we would work, I'm kinda glad we didn't try
Why ruin something good? I'd be with you if I could
I guess I lost my chance now that you're so far away
I'm happy that we met and can call each other friends
Same card in the deck, I'm sure we'll meet again
some day
How do all those stars shine upon our lives?
Is it fate, is it chance or is it lies?
Deal another card but it won't be the same
I'm just a ten of diamonds in this mad chaotic game
Some can get along while most don't even start
Would I play my part, we'll never know its such a shame
But at least we got to play for just a little while
I love the way your smile really brightens up my day
And though we don't belong, we're together in my song
I'll never forget you it'll all turn out okay

Tree of Knowledge

The tree of knowledge is barren
We have plucked all of its fruit
Withered gray and ancient
Exposed its shallow roots
Where are all the seeds?
Gone as far as we could go
The fruit of horrible deeds
With so much we don't know
Temptation sweet temptation to pave over the Earth
From tribe to city to nation - how much was it all worth?
I could not survive unless you clothed me in the cold
The net is closing in, the roots of a tree so old
I never rebelled, I do what I'm told,
I drink from the sink
We, we are so young, the world is so old
and we're on the brink
So dance with me, my love,
and our children will carry the weight
All of our wasted time
choosing greed oppression and hate

Tender Heart
03:17
|
|||
|
When I go around
to the bars in the town
I hope I don't see you in another's arms
Spare this sinking soul
from eternal dark
kill this dying spark, tender heart
I thought we were through
that I'd be done with you
but I just can't afford to let you go
Can't give up on you
although you left me blue
insides torn apart, tender heart
The truth is clear to me
that you're the one I need
no matter who you're with or what you do
I may be quite thick
with bricks instead of brains
but heartbreak is my art, tender heart

I was once full of sorrow
I lived in a darker life
but then I found Jesus
and now my life is bright
When Satan comes knockin, have Jesus get the door
and you won't have Satan
knockin at your door anymore
So if you're feeling burdened
with that weight upon your soul
call upon your savior to carry half your load
When Satan comes knockin, have Jesus get the door
and you won't have Satan
knockin at your door anymore
So if you're doorbell's broken
and you haven't changed your lock
call upon your savior when you hear that dreadful knock

Past Lives
03:40
|

|
I remember our lives before
before we were born
Now we've fallen
back into each other's arms once more
Wrapped up then untied
through the swirling sky
and all of the cities flooded
two hundred feet high
The waters carry me past the trees
Now I know we are aligned
We fell in love a hundred times
No longer afraid
of our past lives
A hundred years ago
I broke your heart and you broke mine
Now we'll never know
how many times we'll realign
Through the storm and the sky
we will meet when we die
now the river has drained away
but once again it will rise
The waters carry me past the trees
I am yours and you are mine
Tipping the scales throughout all time
And thats just the fate
of our past lives
