MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD LYRICS

1. Less Than Zero

This moment is all that I own Tonight I shut my eyes with you on my mind
Attempts in vain to forget that you left me to die But I've grown tired of
collecting myself from the ground At your mercy, lost and never found Burn
my fingertips so no one knows my name The wait could crush my heart one last
wish in vain Its colder than it looks outside Ive watched this world pass by
my tired eyes Accept this as my farewell note To this world, to this city
and to you This time I want it to kill Cannot bear it again This is all I
own This unmailed letter, this dead embrace This fleeting moment all that I
own So curse this instinct, this hollow hope This boundless desire that's
left me here

2. Apparition

You always knew just how to bury your sins beneath my skin i am the fevered
words you wished you'd never said i am the saddest song that haunts you in
your sleep i am the thought that wakes you from your sweetest dreams Tonight
I'll walk these halls Studying the cracks in the walls To die internally To
die eternally The death of all that i dreamed shaken from your sweetest
dream From deaths grasp i shall rise and will rise one last time when the
tears top the laughter its time to go home and here i am the greatest lie
you ever told i am the incision that leaves behind the deepest scar i am
your heart when your head says walk away No one dies no dies alone i'll send
this chill straight through your bones i am not anyone you know ghost from
your past here to seize your soul

3. Sincerely

This sin in my heart will tear us apart Theres sin in my heart Love will
tear us apart Happiness is solitude When theres no one left to depend on I
walked a thousand miles through your lies And so will you, so will you? Kill
me Tell me Everything falls apart Kill me Tell me Try and break this cold
heart Kill me Tell me You thought it would never end Kill me Tell me When we
meet again

4. In Effigy

you've watched me die For the final time This bloodsoaked eulogy that at
last is mine But ive thought this through as I waited for you To carry me
home in your lifeless arms Wait for sleep to grant me This serenity I seek
Solace can only be found In everlasting sleep How can I fear death? I'll
never feel it I want to die before you I want to die for you But I'll never
feel it Tonight the circle closes indefinitely Burn my cold heart in effigy,
empty my pockes for the thieves Life has run me through, as I waited for you
To carry me home in your lifeless arms Burn my heart in effigy

5. The Knot

And I, I search for something more Before it mattered who you knew And I, I
search for something pure Before the knot became the noose Theres no
disguise behind these eyes I'm still alive watching you die And as I slowly
walk away I hear you say - I never change. And I , I always hoped for more
Before this knot came loose And now I seek out something pure Before the
knot became the noose In the rearview mirror before the knot became noose
Horizon of burning bridges before the knot became noose The knot became the
noose

6. The Lantern

You were supposed to be invincible Invincible What happens to you Happens to
me Solidarity Forever family I'd give my own life Just to save yours My true
creator When death darkens the door Love is stronger than death You are
stronger than death What have you seen through those eyes? Tell me what real
fear is like No solace when nothing is sure This time I won't question the
cure You were supposed to be invincible Invincible What happened to you
Happened to me Solidarity Immortality I'd give my own life Just to save
yours My true creator When death darkens these doors Love is stronger than
death You are stronger than death What have you seen through those eyes?
Tell me what real fear is like No solace when nothing is sure This time I
won't question the cure Carry the lantern high

7. Morphine

Rest easy foes for tonight my eyes will close I always held my tongue
assuming tomorrow would always come But another day has passed, I still cant
see the end What wrong turn, led me to his end? Woke up, quenching razors
again These faces are not my friend Dodging trains in my sleep Days as long
as years, beyond belief The authors of the prophecies are dead and gone The
authors of your epitaph have just been born Your deathbed is not a wishing
well

8. And The Band Played On

Anywhere but here Anytime but now Anyone but you I don't want to make
assumptions but if I have to then I will You never really cared You were
never really there What it once meant Still means a lot to me With or
without you I still dare to breathe And after the fall Somehow above it all
But I still dare to breathe The more things change The more I stay the same
As the world unravels I remain ..And the band played on... I remain

9. Come What May

My epitaph shall say "and come what may" With a grain of salt I walked away
Commit the past into blue flame They're not crying - I'm not crying We found
you hiding - We found you lying Unfazed Unchanged Tomorrows too late Into
blue flame Tomorrows too late With a grain of salt I walked away With my
eyes shut into the fray The worlds on fire theres no turning back An empty
shell, from heaven I fell With a grain of salt I walked away Commit the past
into blue flame They're not crying - I'm not crying We found you hiding - We
found you lying And Come What May (No matter what may come Whats done is
done)

10. Heroes And Conspiracies

Forever waiting for you to let me down. Reaching for heaven, to fall to the
ground. Heroes and Conspiracies. Just like a rose ripped from its root.
You're so beautiful and waiting to die. Heroes and Conspiracies. Would you
grant me one final kiss? Impaled on the sharpest thorn, these are my wrists.
Here we are, Face to face. Without a clue of what to say. Alone at last no
questions asked. Another secret to my game. Now that it's gone was it ever
that at all?

11. Song Of Siren

This a monument to failure (victims) of our own design I submit to your cold
heart With arson as closure Sifting through the rubble The burning pile of
ash Drawn into the flame Can't seem to turn away "Love and you will be
loved", "Trust, you will be trusted" I can set a watch to your change of
heart Sifting through the rubble The burning pile of ash Drawn into the
flame Can't seem to turn away Ground these ashes into your palm these are
your memories Carve these words into my arm these are my memories Ground
these ashes into your palm - can't resist the siren song Carve these word
into my arm - can't resist the siren song Sifting through the rubble The
burning pile of ash Drawn into the flame Can't seem to turn away To
breathe... To burn I swallowed the truth like razors Can't resist the Siren
Song

12. No Place Like Home

Bound by inability and let suffer the absence. Words have failed me once
again. Attempts at completion have again left me empty. Fate's design has
forced me to live without. And when I close my eyes I envision one so
undeserving of your presence, one who does not appreciate you as I, one who
needs not struggle with your absence
