MANILLA ROAD LYRICS

1. Throne Of Blood

Terror inside my domain
Spawning a life so insane
Horrors unspeakable name
Haunting my soul again

Three witches told me of this at the start
Thay said it would be the death of my heart
No feeling for life or loss of love
My fate is to die on a throne of blood

I have raised my voice in anger
Unto the elder gods
Royal blood drips fom my dagger
And I am lost

I strived in lust for power
And stained my path in blood
Now the woods come to devour
My throne of blood

Violence has reigned or'e my life
Sword drawn to combat the strife
Once I had visions of light
Now my fate is but to die

The ghost of the king that I have slain
Comes tormenting me again and again
No power on earth can save my soul
I should have trusted in the gods of old

I have raised my voice in anger
Unto the elder gods
Royal blood drips from my dagger
And I am lost

I strived in lust for power
And stained my path in blood
Now the woods come to devour
My throne of blood

Terror inside my domain
Spawning a life so insane
Horrors unspeakable name
Haunting my soul once again

2. Lux Aeterna

In the corner of my empty room
There is a place where sunlight dies
No seems to care
For the lost and lonely ones
Out of sight is out of mind
Still I wait for mornings warm embrace
I can't see into the dark
Is someone watching me

Now that it's all over
What can you believe in when you kiss the night
Feels like everything is dying
Give me some eternal light

People stand around as castles fall to crumbled ruins
Don't lift a finger - he might just take your money or your life
Slip away
Hide behind an epmty stare
Much safer now pretending to be blind
No more, Ican't take it any more
I'm leaving for a brighter place
So much brighter

Now that it's all over
What can you believe in when you kiss the night
Feels like everything is dying
Give me some eternal light

Not so long ago
I'd have waited for a lifetime
For the chance to think it over
Someday I hope to find
The truth in love and reason
Such things I'll never find alone

Waiting in darkness
I've gone weary of the chase
Still conscience lingers on so tired
Goodbye promise me you'll hope for something after
It's much brighter than today
So much brighter

3. Spider

Spider, do you have a name
Moving like a black fist
Moving like a dark flame

Spider, when to sleep
Sink it in my flesh
Sink it in so deep

Spider, under my bed
What you did to my daddys' leg
What you did to my head

The spider, in my dreams
Want ot wake up
Want ot scream

You don't know what you did
To me with your wicked little mind
You don't know what you do
To me with your wicked little mind
Never wonder why

Spider, now I'm dreaming
And my body is something to bite
To suck it dry

Tear into my gut, wouldn't you try
If you were bigger
If you were bigger

You don't know what you did
To me with your wicked little mind
You don't know what you do
To me with your wicked little mind
Fucking little mind

No, no, no
So now I'm coming to kill you
At least your awake I'm alive
Tiny black eyes open
Trying to hide
Maybe I'll miss you
Run into the night
Find a place to go to sleep
And dream of flies

4. Murder By Degrees

In a dream was playing the hero when
Lightning stopped my nerves were shattered
Dark laughter said that I was much too late
For the very last time
Night again and somehow colder
Breath escapes in a crystal haze and I
Chase panic in the black of a whispered scream
As blood turns to crimson ice

Murder by degrees
And frost killing time
I still see my brothers eyes
Burning thru the freeze

Vision clouds to the sight of a dream and then
Grey eyes of a snow wolf fills the skies
Feel the hot sting of winters dying kiss
A glass angel chills my heart

Murder by degrees
And frost killing time
I still see my brothers eyes
Burning thru the freeze

Snow creatures swarming as sleep comes I fall
I'm pulled thru a crack in the ice

5. No Sign From Above

We have searched troughout eternity
To find the hidden truth
But it still remains a mystery
Man doesn't have a clue

And we strive so hard for snity
That we can't find the news
What happened to serenity
I thought we paid our dues

Waiting for a sign
Waiting for a sign from above
Waiting for a sign
Waiting for a sign from above

As the tyrants lead us all astray
Through the timeless winds of war
There will be no other games to play
When our bones rot on the shore

And it seems we've nothing more to say
Than the things we've said before
We must break out of the moldedc lay
Get back our wings and soar

Don't wait for a sign
There'll be sign come from above
Get your wings and fly
Wash away the stain of blood

Yet the chains are still unbroken
And you haven't learned to fly
If we don't get back our wings
We're sure to die

Don't wait for a sign
Tere'll be no sign from above
Get your wings and fly
Wash away the stain of blood

6. In Gein We Trust

Father said the crop was going to be a good one
A lot of holes to dig, a lot work to be done
Good old Gein goes to pay a visit to a stone
Maybe he'll keep you company if you're all alone

[chorus]
Gein we trust in you we trust in me
Gein, but what is this, what does it mean
Gein, no we don't know this place
Have you seen Gein

Mister Ed comes back from the dead to ply his trade
Skull cup-a-soup fast on a boney chair he's amde
Lots of parts all packed away in boxes nice and clean
Human nipple necklace, your a scream Mister Gein

[repeat chorus]

He's happy to watch the kids till you get back
Let's go out to the smokehouse, something new upon the rack
Nothing really showing through the windows all day
They're painted black so we don't know what to say

Wearing what face flayed grey and frozen
Sad sick desd faces, he's got them by the dozen
He becomes the person that he'd taken way back when
So he can kill himself and still live to kill again

7. Flesh And Fury

Ther you are in jet white allegiance
Sending words of wishfull thinking through the air
There you stand on the thin ice of believing
Squared for battle, you here the trumpets call

Faith take hold, cold smile diguises
Kneel and breed deception
Then the world, look thru it's fingers
Finds there's just not much to see

In our power glory to us one and all
Fell no love in freedom
Don't cry, it's only thunder in your head
Driving flesh and fury

There you are in a flash of frozen moments
On tomorrows edge and waiting at the gate
There you stand killing all your words of love
Whispering hooks in the mouth of fate

Fall from grace, talk from the corners
Raise your hands to heaven
Then from the shadows choice comes crawling out
In silence, sister victory

Can you see them come to rescue me
Mother reaching out to compassion
Can you see them standing on the other side
The warning, god has come for you

Hre we are a circle of shadows
Waiting in the wings
Hare we are stand patiently watching
The wheels set in motion

Over-night sensation breaking
Overkill religion
Back from the alley, truth comes screaming out
For mothers of mercy

In our power glory to us aone and all
Feel no love in freedom
Don't cry it's only thunder in your head
Driving flesh and fury

8. No Touch

Just apart of me afraid to call my own
Locked inside these barren walls - my heart
When she appeared I knew the meaning of emotion
But I don't remember feeling

Another part of me I need to call my own
Turns to face this precious sight - my hope
And then she said to me
I wonder why you see me like you do
Such an innocent child
Like Alice trapped in her looking glass

She is my agony my sorrow
Someone to follow through the rain
No touch no feeling of life
And here I am believing what she tells me
She's just a shadow on the pane

As the master of illusion I can't go on
Breathing life into the picture on the wall
But when she sings I hear the happiness of angels
I close my eyes
And when I look again no ones there at all

She is my agony my sorrow
Someone to follow through the rain
No touch no feeling of life
And here I am believing what she tells me
She's just a shadow on the pane

And when she came to me again
Out from the wall
She showed me her disease

It's closer now

And when she spoke to me again
She speaks in whispers only
She wanted more of me
She opened all the windows

I took her hand and I threw my mind away
Just for a moment I knew love

9. Hack It Off

Hack

So here you are lift your head
You fed on dawns early light, you're so right
I'm a puppet on a string
You're a thing

Unreal you rise like coiled diamond surprise
You make my bed
I'm wed to you
What can i do, i could

[chorus]
Hack it off and find a way
Start another life today
Grease the guillotine, make it pay
Bye bye baby, bye bye

Iron studded icon you molten lead music
Into the greedy ears of America
So they can swallow every drop
Of your cathode ray amor'e

A moray eel steals into a thousand hearts of darkness
While Cupid's bow snaps like the spine of love
And he pulls out his bazooka instead
So many dead

[repeat chorus]

Mirror windshield shards fly like fractured facts
I ain't no saint so paint me black
And send me somewhere
I don't care

If I made a point it's just afly in the ointment
Anoint me holy mother of maggots
For I have sinned against love
What's love ? I think I love it, but i want to

Hack, hack

10. Forbidden Zone

I've traversed on my own
To the forbidden zone
The place where
All the others never dare to go

To reach beyond the norms
A fusion to all forms
To go where no one else has gone before
Open all those hidden magik doors

This is the is the place of magikal unknowns
No one can help you here inside the zone
You've got to make it happen on your own
You've got to go yourself you cannot phone

Deep in the heart
Of the forbidden zone
Here I am master of my destiny
Deep in the heart
Of the forbidden zone
Is where dreams turn into reality

Time has come to pass
I have to take the chance
Reaching out into the unknown
Throw away the fear
Let the magik appear
Inside the forbidden zone

Deep in the heart
Of the forbidden zone
Here I am master of my destiny
Deep in the heart
Of the forbidden zone
Is where dreams turn into reality

11. She's Fading

A painting of a young girl sleeping, framed in silver
While all her life is time
Winter is failing dignity... she draws the shade
And lying to her grace
Thinks she feels security... Where nothing dies

She speaks in soft filter smiles
Tastes the rain of memories water... can't heal her pain
She stares into a mirrors cracked and broken lines
A little girl waves goodbye

She's fading as her hour glass runs out
So sorry for the pain
Still waiting for a girl from the magazines
A torn and yellowed page

In her darkened room she cries
For faces, now shining halos
Can't believe what time has done for her
Can't stop thinking through the frame

She's fading as her hour glass runs out
So sorry for the pain
While all her life is time
Winter finds a place for her, and draws the shade
