The Devil Lay In Wait
03:06

She was seventeen
When he cast his spell
She fell in his arms
And awoke in hell...
Ensnared in his web
She was powerless to fly
He used her body
And destroyed her mind
Her eyes cried out
When hope was lost
He’d preyed on her soul
Like a spider on a moth
But his days were numbered
He would not escape
For what he’d done the
Devil lay in wait
The devil lay in wait!
The devil lay in wait!
Revenge is seldom sweet
For one as pure as she
She near went mad
When the man walked free
The town turned their backs
They’d no care for her plight
Friend turned to foe as
The truth bred lies
They shunned her her folly
But lauded him with praise
Showered him in riches
And burried her in shame
But his days were numbered
He would not escape
For what he’d done the
Devil lay in wait
The devil lay in wait!
The devil lay in wait!
Her thirst for justice
Froze her to the core
She waved God’s word
For she’d heard it all before
She closed her eyes
For she knew in time
The man would pay
For his heinous crime
But not on earth
By the laws of men
Punishment is gravest
When it meets you at the end
For his days were numbered
He would not escape
For what he’d done the
Devil lay in wait
The devil lay in wait!
The devil lay in wait!
The devil lay in wait!

Burn

You lie like the devil
You hide like a rat
Who do you think you’re foolin’
When you act like that
You’ll be the maker of your ruin
Coz you never, never learn
It’s only a matter of time before
I get to watch you burn
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn
Your days are numbered
Make no mistake
Given time you’ll show ‘em
That you’re nothing but a snake
You don’t get to do this
You don’t get to win
Feast upon your sin
Until it rots you from within
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn (You're gonna burn)
You act like a martyr
You think you’re a God
You say you’re a saviour
Everything you’re not
I can see through you
I know what you’ve done
When the reaper comes a-knockin'
There’ll be nowhere left to run
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn
Oh, I'm gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn
The lies that you weave
Only fool yourself
Minions and pawns
Are all that you’ve got left
I won’t lift a finger
I’ll let you hang yourself
And baby I’ll be laughing
When you fall back down to hell!
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn (You're gonna burn)
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
I’m gonna watch you burn
Oh, I’m gonna watch you burn
The world’s gonna watch you.

All I Need
03:11
|
|||
|
I know sometimes I can be too much
Forgive me if I am not enough
The more I need, the more I give
The more I try, the less I live
See me now
Believe in me
Show me how
To let it be
Hear my heart
Be here with me
All we are
Is all I need...
Can’t be still when it hurts to feel
I'll hold you tighter when it feels too real
Numb my pain, don’t numb my truth
All I do, I do for you
See me now
Believe in me
Show me how
To let it be
Hear my heart
Be here with me
All we are
Is all I need...
You’re all I need.
I’m scared to feel what I cannot control
I’m scared to let you see my soul
I won’t run, for I can’t walk away
That I’m afraid, is what makes it brave
See me now
Believe in me
Show me how
To let it be
Hear my heart
Be here with me
All we are
See me now
Believe in me
Show me how
To let it be
Hear my heart
Be here with me
All we are
Is all I need...
You’re all I need.
You are all I need.
You are all I need.

In Time
03:24
|
|||
|
I find myself exhausted
From a game I hate to play
Made bitter by the lies
I hear in everything I say
I stumble on a turn of phrase
I use to hide my truth
If nothing comes from nothing
What the hell am I to do?
Injustice is expected
Yet I fight it all the same
Tear myself to pieces for
A battle lost in vain
The problem with this place
Is that it doesn’t see, it counts;
Treats you like a number
‘Til it slowly wears you down
Oooh... Why am I still here?
Did someone bind my feet?
If I can’t free myself
Can I still be me?
Don’t look to me for answers
Coz I just don’t give a damn
I am here by accident; none of it was planned
I stumbled in so blindly
Never meant to stay so long
I rue the day I settled and
I envy those who’ve gone
Habit is a trap that makes you live as if you’re blind;
I only hope I get to go away from here in time

There’s a rare kind of courage
That some people have
That makes them run into the fire
They stand out in front
Giving all that they have
They save and protect and inspire
They’re not immune to the fear that we face
It tears at them too it’s what makes them so brave
They hold out a hand
Without question or pause
Do what they can
Giving all to the cause
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in these darkest of days
It’s that not all heroes wear capes
They wade through the chaos
With hope in their heart
Uncertain of what may befall them
Through it all they are beacons
Of light in the dark
It’s just not enough to applaud them
How do you pay back a debt of this size?
We owe so much more than we realise
They hold out a hand
Without question or pause
Do what they can
Giving all to the cause
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in these darkest of days
It’s that not all heroes wear capes
When the damage is done
And the panic sets in
They are the ones who
Refuse to give in
Through the dark and the rain
Come what may they remain
Constant heroes...
They hold out a hand
Without question or pause
Do what they can
Giving all to the cause
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in these darkest of days
It’s that not all heroes wear capes
It’s that not all heroes wear capes

Blood & Bone & Soul
03:16
|
|||
|
There is none so wise as he
Who hides behind his wares
I’ve fought too many battles with
A foe who is not there
Should I fall upon my sword
Or throw it at the sun?
Hold it up in honour of
The fool that I’ve become?
For I would be your enemy
Just to feel alive
Something deep inside of me
Is dying to survive
Break me up
And tear me down
For all that’s left of me right now
Is blood and bone and soul
I’ve been made to play the nave
And drink a bitter draught
I’ve kneeled for kings
And courtesans
Who each in turn did laugh
For there I stood
A warrior
Whose feet were bound in stone;
Destined to be still and watch
As twisted fates unfold
For I would be your enemy
Just to feel alive
Something deep inside of me
Is dying to survive
Break me up
And tear me down
For all that’s left of me right now
Is blood and bone and soul
Blood and bone and soul
Blood and bone and soul
For I would be your enemy
Just to feel alive
Something deep inside of me
Is dying to survive
Break me up
And tear me down
For all that’s left of me right now
Is blood and bone and soul
Blood and bone and soul
Blood and bone and soul

Hole In The Soul

You think you got it made, babe
Think you got it good
All you do is take, take
Never what you should
Fool me once
Don’t fool me twice
I don’t want your heart of ice
Boy, you got a hole down deep in your soul
I can see right through you
I don’t buy your lies
You don’t got me fooled you
Need not even try
Play the martyr
Hide your shame
I won’t play your
Twisted game
Girl, you got a hole down deep in your soul...
God knows a sinner
I know one too
Hellfire reigns
On what you do
Heaven save your soul
You think you got it made babe
Think you got it good
All you do is take take
Never what you should
I can see right through you
I don’t buy your lies
You don’t got me fooled you
Need not even try
Hell you’ve got a hole down
Deep in your soul

Then, Now, Always

Weightless grace
Come heal me as I sleep
Chase away
The pain that nestles deep
Ease my mind and
Fill it up with light
Then, now, always
Soothe my soul
Made heavy from my cares
Truths untold
Pervade my silent prayers
Clear my head of
Everyday regret
Then, now, always
Save me now
Save me then
Show me how
To face
Tomorrow
Guard what's mine
And sheild me from this storm
For tonight
Let silence be my song
Still the world
And all its constant noise
Let the morning
See me find my voice
I pray thee
Save me
Then, now, always

Promise Of Today
03:13
|
|||
|
They say don’t get your hopes up
Don’t get carried away
So don’t you go get caught up
In what they say
They tell you not to think too big
You’re better off down here
But I believe in better
Than a life of fear
We were born to live
Not to run from risk
I will not be swayed
From the truth I hold within
For in every life some rain must fall
But I will keep my hopes up through it all
Every morning that I wake
I will choose a path to take
As I’m greeted by the promise of today
As I’m greeted by the promise of today
There are no guarantees
In anything you do
All the more you’ve got to
Follow through
Always give your all
Don’t let yourself be small
Courage has a way of
Making us stand tall
Say hell yeah let’s go
Instead of sayin’ no
Run wild and free
Before you run all out of road
For In every life some rain must fall
But I will keep my hopes up through it all
Every morning that I wake
I will choose a path to take
As I’m greeted by the promise of today
As I’m greeted by the promise of today
Every day I’m breathing
Is another chance to live
I surrender to the promise
Of the day I’m in
I will dare to think big
And believe in what I know
If it isn’t high it isn’t hope
For In every life some rain must fall
But I will keep my hopes up through it all
Every morning that I wake
I will choose a path to take
As I’m greeted by the promise of today
In every life some rain must fall
But I will keep my hopes up through it all
Every morning that I wake
I will choose a chance to take
As I’m greeted by the promise of today
As I’m greeted by the promise of today

Puppet On A String
03:27
|
|||
|
You think you got a hold on us
You made blood money controlling us
You think you pulled the wool over us
But you don’t pull our strings
You steal from us to feed your own
Oh, You better watch out
Your cover’s blown
Watch this space coz time will show
That you don’t pull our strings
You sit in an ivory tower of lies
You cover your ears and close your eyes
You laugh with the devil while liberty dies
But soon you’ll pay
And I can’t wait to see you caught
Your neck thrown over the chopping block
Karmas gonna getcha
Ready or not coz
'Cause you don’t pull her strings
And all your money won’t save you’re skin
The day of reckoning’s closing in
You preyed on the weak turned your back on the sick
Now pay for it
Scheming eyes pretend to cry
You're so ugly when you lie
You'll be a sinner 'til the day that you die
Because you prayed for this
You think that we don’t see you now
Oh... Bumbling around with no way out
Watch out baby who’s laughing now
We can see your strings
We can see your strings

Fallen Heroes
03:54
|
|||
|
Thoughts of acceptable losses
As everyone watches
Are starting to burn
So then we head to the front line
Have courage this one time
And hope to return
As we make our way to battle
'Cause they're tearing us, tearing us down
But we're not out
For our warriors will come
To carry us, carry us all
And start winning the war
But some heroes must fall
The truth is as havoc commences
It seems our defences
Are starting to wear
We take arms as light becomes darker
But the blood on our armour
Is heavy to bear
As we make our way to battle
'Cause they're tearing us, tearing us down
But we're not out
For our warriors will come
To carry us, carry us all
And start winning the war
But some heroes must fall
If you ask my opinion I don't think it's right
That so many good people I love lose their life
As the fighting continues and more join the fray
There's nothing that anyone says
That can make this ok
As we make our way to battle
'Cause they're tearing us, tearing us down
But we're not out
For our warriors will come
To carry us, carry us all
And start winning the war
But some heroes must fall

What Comes Next
03:00
|

|
Fire burns, innocence falls
The leaders have turned their backs on us all
Freedom is bought with blood on our hands
Us versus them is all we understand
Lord knows what comes next
What ungodly mess
I only pray
I will be singing with you
Scream in the streets
Howl at the moon
Desperate to stop what approaches too soon
Tyranny reigns, lies win the day
When no one is listening
What more do you say?
Lord knows what comes next
What ungodly mess
I only pray
I will be singing with you
Never who can I help
Just who can I use
Is truth still the truth if it's labelled fake news?
The lesser of evils is all you can choose
In a world gone mad
Lord knows what comes next
What ungodly mess
I only pray I will be singing
Lord knows what comes next
What ungodly mess
I only pray I will be singing

Let Me Not Forget
04:07

Dawns faint glow
Falls across the bed
I watch you sleep
I feel your gentle breath
The storm outside
Is ever raging yet
This perfect moment
Let me not forget;
You light up
A world too often dark
You heal and warm
Each corner of my heart
And we can brave
Whatever is ahead
With song and grace
Let me not forget;
The love we give
We keep forever
Whatever comes
We face together
When darkness falls
And life’s chaos calls
Let me not forget
Even now
When everything seems lost
I look at you
And see what all I’ve got
The life we’ve known
All but gone and yet
This gift of us
Let me not forget
The love we give
We keep forever
Whatever comes
We face together
When darkness falls
And life’s chaos calls
Let me not forget
What comes next
Won’t change what’s real and right
You’re my hope and home and joyous light
And all we are
Is all I need tonight
Let me not forget
The love we give
We keep forever
Whatever comes
We face together
When darkness falls
And life’s chaos calls
Let me not forget
The world we knew
Forever altered yet
All we are…
Let me not forget;
