Lost Art of Heaping Coal
Running from every wicked little town is gonna run you down To blame is to wear your heart on your sleeve What a wicked way our hearts deceive Trying not to be the lost take Of your everyday existence The further that we dig, the shallower we become The harder that we judge, the harder it is to budge The splinters in the whites of our own eyes Help me to find a place where love is not some half illusion Dreams do not come to those who choose to see nightmares Sometimes you get so used to screaming without making a sound Believing the illusions of grandeur as friendly as they may seem What a pretty world, what a pretty world of make believe The wicked way our hearts deceive Our hearts deceive The further that we dig, the shallower we become The harder that we judge, the harder it is to budge The splinters in the whites of our own eyes Pride's insistence, failure's persistence

Why do you climb the walls at night? Because you've fallen from the light. You've fallen from the light. And every minute of every hour. Plotting our attack. Our attack. Your hate will be replaced by fear. Fear of failure, fear of death. Fear of shadows, fear for your last breath. Why do you climb the walls at night? Because you've fallen from the light. You've fallen from the light. And every minute of every hour. Plotting our attack. Our attack. And so this means war. Tonight, tonight is war. Tonight is war.

This time we've got to make things right This time we've got to stand and fight for our time Our time We've built our homes, amongst the scattered shadows We drink alone, although the cup has been offered Our fears are met by our expectations And I refuse to feed my fears tomorrow We can't wait one more day Our final hour has been selected And every second somehow connected This time we've got to make things right This time we've got to stand and fight for our time Our time Build a fire inside your heart Build a fire inside your heart this time

This time I won't hold on so tight I will die first, I surrender So that I may truly live When you take me down I will rise When you take me down I will rise Disillusioned with the gentle path Away from brightness and out into your nothingness, this nothingness String me up and beat me down When you take me down I will rise When you take me down I will rise Brokenness

A statue and a shell the angels wish us well But praises don't come from sandy throats With one foot in, and one foot out of hell Another empty day, another wasted night We've gotta hope for something more this time Another empty day, another wasted night We've gotta hope for something more this time I'm not ready to die I'm not ready to die More love, more power More of you in my life More of you Less of me Another empty day, another wasted night We've gotta hope for something more this time Another empty day, another wasted night We've gotta hope for something more this time I'm not ready to die I'm not ready to die With one foot out of hell A gift unnoticed

Call me out of the darkness and into the light I am not of my own I've become spiritually cold Your grace wipes away my tears With your strength I can vanquish all my fears Some crowns of sorrow sit on a little world for a little hour Take me Drain me Purify Make me clean Your crown will shine forever And your grace abides forever Our souls will shine forever We can all live forever

An alarm waking me The leaves dying off the trees I medicate with whiskey to drown the fear of being me Three A.M. I'm on a bridge Gravity pulling my will to live A saddened moon softly lights the scene. And reflects a ghost from the water to me I don't want to live my life today I'd rather burn out than just fade away I don't want to live my life today I'd rather burn out than just fade away So as we live our lives, this song will be our suicide And as we fight through life, this song will be our suicide So as we live our lives, this song will be our suicide And as we fight through life, this song will be our suicide Death letter An alarm waking me The leaves dying off the trees I medicate with whiskey to drown the fear of being me Three A.M. I'm on a bridge Gravity pulling my will to live A saddened moon softly lights the scene And reflects a ghost from the water to me I don't want to live my life today I'd rather burn out than just fade away I don't want to live my life today I'd rather burn out than just fade away So as we live our lives, this song will be our suicide And as we fight through life, this song will be our suicide I can bleed through every note, with every word blood from my throat In the end all is still, a fallen man who's lost his will But this is just a song, as for life we must drive on Music is a gift, it will lift the burdened soul Life is a gift, a gift which we must fight to hold Hold on, hold on

Such a lifeless way of existence Oh what a lifeless way of existence Toiling to serve what is sold Striving for an image the media has sold Such a lifeless way of existence Oh what a lifeless way of existence We buy because we are told Deny the true selves that we hold But I wanna be stolen Waiting for the thief in the night Light is the only answer My only truth in darkness night Sunbeam fresh water Thirst meets its maker Blessed be For the taker This debt has been paid For the taker This debt has been paid For your debt has been paid Let it be proclaimed wherever there is sound But I wanna be stolen Waiting for the thief in the night Light is the only answer My only truth in darkness night Sunbeam fresh water Thirst meets its maker Blessed be. For the taker This debt has been paid For the taker This debt has been paid For your debt has been paid Let it be proclaimed wherever there is sound To follow you is a loaded gun to my head To follow you is a loaded gun My love/my lord

A word of fire stands burning in your heart As truth fans the flames What's your heart's desire, Will it always be the same Or fall to the winds of change Our foundations crumble And are rebuilt again But there is one that will remain Faith is the dirtiest F word That the world has ever heard Faith is a virus that feeds on the ego That feeds on me Hope is the cure for my selfish design 'Cause faith is the dirtiest F word That the world has ever heard Faith is a virus that feeds on the ego That feeds on me Hope is the cure for my selfish design A word of fire stands burning in your heart As truth fans the flames What's your heart's desire, Will it always be the same Or fall to the winds of change Our foundations crumble And are rebuilt again But there is one that will remain He calmed the waters Rebuked the storms That's got to stand Stand for something more That's why we stand for something more

We may never find true love Because we're always leaving, We're chasing something And we may never be secure Because we've left our jobs, We've closed so many doors When blood is needed nothing else will do Where serpents strangle love-sick bones Spirit allow us too Spit fire Heap coals Revival is the time of fire Spark a fire in the world Bless a child tonight Shine light in the darkest cities' life Set ablaze the eyes on the blind man Heap coals, shine bright The angels weep tonight We may never find true love Because we're always leaving, We're chasing something But we would trade all this and more For what the locusts devour we know you can restore Thanks to jrrubiojr for sending these lyrics.
