I was counting other's blessings, movement through the soul (movement through the soul, movement through the soul) Sons and daughters, holy waters, make my blood run cold (make my blood run cold, make my blood run...) Sun is born on the horizon, flaked with shades of gold (flaked with shades of gold, flaked with shades of gold) Faces drawn of silent strangers, that you'll never know (that you'll never know, never) Don't ask for the sun, what a dangerous melody Don't be surprised when the devil he He shows up at your door, leaves you asking for more What a dangerous universe, yeah you making your own curse Yeah you making your own curse, yeah you making your own People sing their godly praises (ha ha ha, le le le, lu lujah) Miracles the man amazes, but they don't do nothing to ya Filling up the empty spaces, poison drinks, imbibing witch's brew yeah Newer times in older places, notice how time stands still Don't ask for the sun, what a dangerous melody Don't be surprised when the devil he He shows up at your door, leaves you asking for more What a dangerous universe, yeah you making your own curse Yeah you making your own curse, yeah you making your own When they call you, can you hear it? Voices raised, incense burns, stars that rule ya Rituals that soothe the spirit, trickster gods when they learn how to fool ya When you go, no need to fear it- natural apathy does that to ya Realize you are so near it, notice how time stands still Don't ask for the sun, what a dangerous melody Don't be surprised when the devil he He shows up at your door, leaves you asking for more What a dangerous universe, yeah you making your own curse Yeah you making your own curse, yeah you making your own

Heed my philosophy, cuz I was born in a cemetery I was born in a cemetery, ain't no grave can hold me down Evil dichotomy, and I was born in a cemetery When you're born in a cemetery, your whole family's in the ground Heed my sweet intonation: life is overrated Feed my great elevation, time is almost faded Heed my sweet intonation: life is overrated Feed my great elevation, time is almost faded Come and then you will see that I was born in a cemetery I was born in a cemetery, my heart's six feet underground All underneath my feet, and I was born in a cemetery When you're born in a cemetery, ain't no grave can hold you down Heed my sweet intonation: life is overrated Feed my great elevation, time is almost faded Heed my sweet intonation: life is overrated Feed my great elevation, time is almost faded Be doo be doo be doo be da ba ba the secrets and the lies you want to bury Be doo be da ba ba, we got them here down at the cemetery Be doo be da ba ba, you must admit the atmosphere is scary Be doo be da ba ba, the ghosts are near down at the cemetery People be who they be when they are born in a cemetery When you're born in a cemetery, it's true life can hit you hard Dying's a certainty, but it's true death is not that scary But then who am I to say, cuz I was born in a graveyard Heed my sweet intonation: life is overrated Feed my great elevation, time is almost faded Heed my sweet intonation: life is overrated Feed my great elevation, time is almost faded

Running out in the height of the war into no-man's-land screaming 'hold your fire' Like you know it's the end of the world and you can't really handle a substitute Lying flat with our back to the skies and the stars in our eyes could we get much higher My reflection is changing around; take a good look at me, and it's really you Love and devotion, what a mythology Hold your emotion, I still don't feel sorry Waste your time, telling me what you feel 'bout the rest of the world is overrated Not an answer, you don't know what those three words do You forget all the things that you thought and the ways you were taught cuz your pride inflated You don't mean to, but you do Love and devotion, what a mythology Hold your emotion, I still don't feel sorry It's a shame that the hardest of times seem to bring out the best and the worst in people Can't remember just how many times I been stuck in my mind sayin' what's the use Who's to blame that the state of the world and the people within it are so unequal There's an answer, you won't like it, that's the truth Love and devotion, what a mythology Hold your emotion, I still don't feel sorry Love and devotion Hold your emotion

Oh, my heart is heavy with the weight of world on my shoulders You can't let me carry on like Sisyphus Boulders pushing forward on an insurmountable mountain Move toward us, like a river rushing or fountain I can see you, calling out to me over oceans I'm not near you, though I'm still consumed by the notion Of your beauty, as I face you in my dreams It's my duty to become more than I seem (Yeah, to become more than I seem, to become more) How is it you know me, though we've never met before Thought that you could show me what it is I'm searching for Or is that misguided, am I too reliant For how is it I love you, with my soul so quiet Can you hear me, calling out to you over oceans You may be dreaming, these are strange geographies, notions I am open, I have nothing left to lose Though we're broken, we are still whole if we choose As we are becoming more As we are becoming more Becoming more As we are becoming...

Woke up next to the devil one morning Eyes were fiery and red like the sun I woke up next to the devil one morning Kissed me sweetly, it tasted like rum I'll never sin again I'll never sin again Tried to convince myself I was dreaming I repent for the things I have done Open mouthed I was wide-eyed and screaming Oh the devil, he merely looked on I'll never sin again I'll never sin again Don't deny me, the devil he whispered For I see in your soul what you want Well, the devil's a mighty good kisser He's persuasive with word and with tongue I'm sinnin' once again I'm sinnin' once again Well the devil's kiss is sweet as his touch is Making certain that you kiss and you tell With your tender soul in his evil cluthches He will pull you to the depths of his hell I'll never sin again I'll never sin again Oh you women of fire and of fountain Heed the lesson in what I have said Your children's children will know my recounting Of when I took the devil to bed I'll never sin again I'll never sin again
