Can you sing to me, oh muse, or has your voice gone up in smoke It’s understandable the fear could clear your mind enough to choke But if you’ll grant me your attention Just a darkest hour or two I’ll spin a story so horrific you’ll be glad it isn’t you There’s a castle on a cliffside full to brim with death and sin Where a man arrived one stormy night and begged to be let in Not the man of which you’re thinking; this is prologue for the rest For the thing that answered this man’s cries was evil at its best CHORUS: It’s familiar like a nightmare That you know you’ve had before A deja vu that captures you And chills you to the core A tale of woe Of no way home Of creatures of the night You better fear the devil’s bark, ‘cause Johnny boy, he’s got a bite “All are welcome in my father’s house” the master in black said And our victim of the hour felt his heart fill up with dread Take a look where he directs you, hear the plan he has devised And take note of all the exits, you’re not leaving here alive (CHORUS) And now you have been warned against the horrors yet to come If you dare to still continue, there’ll be no place left to run So sit back, relax, enjoy the show you’ve chosen to embark And no matter what, be careful if you hit play after dark (CHORUS)

"Oh, Judas, my Judas, go buy us some meat. Our brethren are hungry, they’ve nothing to eat. These pieces of silver, now take them and go, Don’t stop on the highway for friend or for foe.” But Judas met his sister; so evil was she She hated gentle Jesus for his prophecy. “Oh, Judas, you deserve to be stoned for your sin Because of this false prophet you put your trust in.” “Be still, my dear sister, no trouble to make. If Jesus is hurt then my poor heart will break.” “Oh, Judas, my dear, lay your head on my lap, I see you are tired; you must take a nap.”

You’ll forgive me if I’m not Coherent, cause the longing’s taken hold I just dreamed that I would leave This life in somewhere not so dark and cold I am speaking, though quite faintly of the land in which, I pray, my story’s told Memories come back to me With which to make my final moments sweet And I think I smell woodsmoke Though I know it must be my own mind’s deceit As it fails, I still can feel the ache that pulls upon my final beat So take my heart back to Texas Cut it out from my chest Take my heart back to Texas And bury it in fields of blue This simple thing I ask of you Lay my wild soul down in the West My friends, I must lament You’ll never see the way a storm can rage down there Hear lighting o’er the mountaintops And thunder like a rapture in the air How summer rain can wipe you clean And rainbows that’d make you believe That when He made it, God took extra care So take my heart back to Texas Cut it out from my chest Take my heart back to Texas And bury it in fields of blue This simple thing I ask of you Lay my wild soul down in the West Go let out all my horses Send them running wild and free Let nothing keep God’s creatures From where they are meant to be So take my heart back to Texas Cut it out from my chest Take my heart back to Texas And bury it in fields of blue This simple thing I ask of you Lay my wild soul down in the West (hums) Back to Texas… Lay my wild soul down in the West

Keep talking, I’ll walk towards the sound of your voice They made you a monster but I’ve made my choice More terrible things in this world walk in day than the night I’ve called myself pious, I’ve sung on my knees But I’d change my tune soon as you call for me I’m not so bereaved that I’d leave when wrong became right My lady, shining you are You make light look oh so dim against the black Please promise, promise I pray If you lead me into dark, you won’t look back I know of the stories, the devil appears In the form of a lover, the one you hold dear And I’d tell it on mountaintops, I couldn’t care if it’s true I’ll board up the windows, I’ll be the new Jack This love has a freedom that God’s sorely lacks I’m losing religion so at the end I can find you My lady, shining you are You make light look oh so dim against the black Please promise, promise I pray If you lead me into dark, you won’t look back And I can’t help thinking of Lot’s wife Salt and abandoned All because she wanted to see The ones He deemed unworthy Burning and reaching Still for the things they could not be I don’t have such desires I’m not the man I was before I’m not afraid of fire If it’s you who keeps me warm My lady, shining you are You make light look oh so dim against the black Please promise, promise I pray If you lead me into dark, you won’t look back

I’ve been searching all throughout my studies for Eternal life, and now I’ve found somebody Who can share that secret in exchange for labor Curiosity only killed a couple cats And who among us can’t admit to that So though he wants some dub’ious favors I will just repeat My philosophy When times are tough and they just get tougher You feel like you don’t have any other recourse but to wait till the end is in your view So you grit your teeth and you keep on going The distance left, I’m alright left knowing That holding on is all that I can do ‘Cause if I make it to October I’ll be fine, cause it it’ll all be over soon I’m no fool, I’m quite the perceptive Individual, and I’ve started waking up in places I can’t quite remember going Boss says not to worry, so I can’t Because it’s all according to his master plan Perhaps a plan I should have started out knowing But it’s too late now I couldn’t stop it anyhow CHORUS I Don’t think I can keep my optimistic disposition And maybe eating spiders has no basis in nutrition Cause yesterday I killed someone without knowing the purpose Though if my theory’s right it means that none of this was worth it All the groveling and laboring and animal abuse All for plan that in my arrogance I hadn’t yet deduced So this is my confession If I may leave one last impression: CHORUS

There was a man and maiden fair Way down by the sea They shared a love beyond compare Way down by the sea The ocean came to her one day Way down by the sea The ocean stole that maid away Way down by the sea Way down, way down, way down by the sea The ocean stole that maid away Way down by the sea When he learned that his love was gone Way down by the sea He went down to the shore at dawn Way down by the sea He begged the waves to give her back Stay, stay with me He threw himself into the black Stay, stay with me Way down, way down, way down by the sea He followed her into the black Way down by the sea There was a man and maiden fair Way down by the sea Beneath the waves he found her there Way down by the sea She cried out, "Man, what have you done?" Stay, stay with me Now two souls the ocean's won Stay, stay with me Way down, way down, way down by the sea Two souls has the ocean won Way down by the sea
