Straight-Jacket Memoirs
When we were young but never told How the world could be so cold As we change from young to old The night takes us away The night takes us away As the day falls to the night Then we take the stage Play the game of life Where everyone's just trying to succeed At dawn as the day begins To weave our way through a world of sin Temptation only leads to agony And I can feel you tired, starving Try to break though Feel the weight of the world upon you There's nothing but Evil beside you Watch out cuz they're coming to get you Another day just trying to get through Live, love at times we grieve But there's so much more that we really need Seems all there is are sketchy prophecies Scratch, claw just to survive Have to fight our way through this world of lies Just so we can feed our families And I can feel you tired, starving Try to break through Feel the weight of the world upon you There's nothing but Evil beside you Watch out cuz they're coming to get you Another day just trying to get through

The smoke from my last cigarette Disappears into the lights Waiting on something to make this feeling right I twist and moan, and turn the other cheek I wait for my moment to be free Im not alone Im not alone The night is black it twists and turns Inside its agony It waits for you, it waits for me, in all its majesty I can feel it, I can hear it, I can see it Slowly coming closer to me now Its breathing, heart is beating, thoughts misleading Reality has somehow broken down Slowly slips away, slips into the grave I dont think Ill ever, ever, ever get away Somehow save our souls, as the darkness calls From beyond these walls I feel somethings going wrong The dark descends upon this World of anger, hate and greed Surrounding you, engulfing me Now all that we can see Lying, cheating, children bleeding Mothers pleading Will you stop it, will you stop it now Can you feel it, do you hear it Its so near, its coming closer, coming closer now Tell me what you see Tell me what you know Tell me can we ever really ever get away Try to save our souls as the dark unfolds All thats still untold I feel somethings going wrong And as the dark begins to die into another day And fate is testing once again all we can do is pray To sweet Jesus, will you lead us, do you hear us Calling to you, calling to you now Were praying, contemplating, situations That can fall before us even know Tell us what you need, tell us what you want As the hands of time have all but exited the play Tell us whats in store, fall all that stand before As the dark unfolds I feel somethings going wrong

I told you about the sirens And the hunger for flesh I showed you the dungeons Beneath the city's unrest Feel the power of the night Make the legions strong And by the grace of the witch I bring to you this song: hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Just gimme some hell We enter the halls of the mountain king Beyond the doors of the dark Flying on strange wings From the streets to the gutter In a summer's rain Do you hear the hounds they call And tonight he grins again: hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Just gimme some hell Somewhere in time I believe Visions off in a dream Start as nothing turn to something Look to the morning sun Through the hourglass One child turns to me And says: Take a chance Hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Just gimme some hell Somewhere in time I believe Visions off in a dream Start as nothing turn to something
