Track Lyrics
The Nephilim Lyrics
[Verse]
Swing through sadness, tears of joy
Curse the sunlight, arsenic for the girls and boys
Drink the madness, smoke so coy
Smile injection
[Pre-Chorus]
Serum of a will destroyed, serum of a will
Serum of a will destroyed
[Chorus]
The seasons change, change without me
I remain in shadows growing wings
The spirit song still surrounds me
In refrain, in shadows growing wings
[Verse]
Swing through sadness, tears of joy
Curse the sunlight, arsenic for the girls and boys
Drink the madness, smoke so coy
Smile injection
[Pre-Chorus]
Serum of a will destroyed, serum of a will
Serum of a will destroyed
[Chorus]
The seasons change, change without me
I remain in shadows growing wings
The spirit song still surrounds me
In refrain, in shadows growing wings
[Bridge]
Like an angel with two broken wings
Reach to the sky again
Like a devil meant for better things
I will find my place on high
[Chorus]
The seasons change, change without me
I remain in shadows growing wings
The spirit song still surrounds me
In refrain, in shadows growing wings
A Story at Three Lyrics
[Verse 1: Davey Havok]
Again and again they blend into one
My father the morning pushes through my moonlight love
So what's sleep, sleep, sleep?
I'm tired, so tired, so tired
But it seems that there's someone here with me
[Chorus: AFI, (Davey Havok)]
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
[Verse 2: Davey Havok]
A story at three with the shrillest of cries
My mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes
So what's sleep, sleep, sleep?
I'm tired, so tired, so tired
But it seems that there's someone here with me
[Chorus: AFI, (Davey Havok)]
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
[Bridge: Davey Havok]
I hear the morning choir
Sing to me their elegy
I hear the morning choir
Sing to me their elegy
I hear the morning choir, so beautiful
Sing to me their elegy
I hear the morning choir, they sing to me
Sing to me their elegy, requiem
I hear the morning choir
Sing to me their elegy
[Chorus: AFI, (Davey Havok)]
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
We are the wakeful, wry, and watchful, we're awaiting
(Deathless ones)
Catch a Hot One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let's tap your heart so we can paint the walls and see
If anybody likes the tone or the pain
The hungry eyes waiting for your life flash
Now they're gonna see it, now they're gonna see it
Open your veins so we can make a pool and bathe
And see if anyone complains of the stain
Let's strip you down so we can see your old scars
Now you're gonna feel it, now you're gonna feel it
Show me how to shine now
[Chorus]
Have you turned, turned to dust?
I saw an insect learn to fly
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
Its form was scorned
Have you lost the sense of touch?
I saw a state of sovereignty
Have you ever turned to dust?
[Verse 2]
Let's lift you up so we can see how fast you'll fall
We always thought that you could fly, now you'll crawl
The lack of loyalty you thought you once felt
Now you're gonna feel it, now you're gonna feel it
Show me how to shine now
[Chorus]
Have you turned, turned to dust?
I saw an insect learn to fly
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
Its form was scorned
Have you lost the sense of touch?
I saw a state of sovereignty
Have you ever turned to dust?
[Bridge]
Now show me, now show me
Now show me how to shine
Now show me how, now show me how
Now show me how, how to shine
Now show me how, now show me how
Now show me how, how to shine
[Chorus]
Have you turned, turned to dust?
I saw an insect learn to fly
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
Its form was scorned
Have you lost the sense of touch?
I saw a state of sovereignty
Have you ever turned to dust?
Wester Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can feel you waiting for me
When the sun retreats to the hills and I
Below the blanket of a burning sky
Wrap myself within
Embraced by dead leaves
As the rain leaves trails of black down my face
And I creep through the twilight to that hidden place
Beyond the lonely, I'll meet you
[Chorus]
Tonight in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us now
[Verse 2]
I can feel you dreaming of me
And the time when our steps are retraced
And I creep through the twilight to that hidden place
Beyond the lonely, I'll meet you
[Chorus]
Tonight in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us, oh
[Bridge]
I can feel you dreaming of me
I can feel you dreaming
I can feel you dreaming of me
Beneath a dream, beneath a dream
(One world away)
I can feel you dreaming of me
(We were just one world away)
I can feel you dreaming
(In silent rapture let us stay)
I can feel you dreaming of me
(One world away)
Lost in a dream
Lost in a dream
[Chorus]
Tonight in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers when no one's around
Nothing can stop us now
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found
Nothing can stop us, oh
