THE AGONY SCENE LYRICS

1. We Bury Our Dead At Dawn

GO!

Their whispers
become
like cries
tears fall from blinded eyes
ninty nine have burned as embers
ninty nine have lost their lives
tired arms
now fight for life
amidst the crash-
shing waves they're drowning

will you
hold me
until mornings light
and i'll
tell you
what its like to die
die tonight
its to late
to cry

now she sees her face
and screams
was once
so beautiful
now kissed by flames
and showered
with glass
so beautiful
yet so cruel
the way love tends to be
her beauty
so cruel
the way love tends to be

will you
hold me
until mornings light
and i'll
tell you
what its like to die
will you
hold me
until mornings light
and i'll
tell you
what its like to die

2. Habeas Corpus

stabwounds will take their toll
murderer with her smile
and as an after thought
she kept the heart he gave her
beauty can be so cruel
she once swore him forever
to make good on her word
ensured he'd never leave her

she lies and whispers loving words
he lay bleeding on this floor
a sigh a kiss will end his pain
and (she) drives the blade deeper still
come closer, come closer
come closer, to me

crimson
streaks the pale skin of her face
from the spray of blood from his throat
his eyes
ever questioning why
she swore
never to leave him...

she lies and whispers loving words
he lay bleeding on this floor
a sigh a kiss will end his pain
and (she) drives the blade deeper still
come closer, come closer
come closer, to me
come closer, come closer
come closer, to me
come closer, come closer
come closer, to me

3. Judas

they shut their eyes now that night has fallen
and pray the wolves are kept at bay
for now the mist hangs arms wide open
like some cruel depiction of Christ
for now the silence comforts lost souls
who in this moment hang gracefully
by the dead hidden by shadows
who've come to take them in their sleep
falling farther
in darkness
falling farther
in darkness

eyes wide lacking comprehension
as sillouettes dance in the flames
their limbs bound by the shadows that seem
to stare back from the pits of black
for now the silence comforts lost souls
who in this moment hang gracefully
by the dead hidden by shadows
who's screams echo for eternity

falling farther
in darkness
falling farther
in darkness
falling farther
in darkness
falling farther
in darkness

awakened by their screams
like something of a nightmare
lacking the desire to breathe
wishing for the end
awakened by their screams
like something of a nightmare
lacking the desire to breathe
wishing for the end
wishing for the end
wishing for the end
wishing for the end
wishing for the end


they shut their eyes now that night has fallen
and pray the wolves are kept at bay
for now the mist hangs arms wide open
like some cruel depiction of Christ
for now the silence comforts lost souls
who in this moment hang gracefully
by the dead hidden by shadows
who've come to take them in their sleep

falling farther
in darkness
falling farther
in darkness
falling farther
in darkness
falling father

4. The Lines Of Suicide

my heartstrings cease to strain
i've aquired a taste for poisoned lips drank
deep of this disease
in me
adored with prying eyes
beneath
a mask made of flesh
and thorns

collected from the ones she'd loved before
collected from the ones she'd loved before
collected from the ones she'd loved before
collected from the ones she'd loved before

my heartstrings cease to strain
i've aquired a taste for poisoned lips drank
deep of this disease
in me
adored with prying eyes
beneath
a mask made of flesh
and thorns

her eyes were opened wide
she now could see forever
traced deep the marks she'd made
with her razor

her eyes were opened wide
she now could see forever
traced deep the marks she'd made
with her razor

the lines of suicide
the lines of suicide
the lines of suicide
the lines of suicide

5. Eyes Sewn Shut

dead skin
weathered lifeless and torn the
eyes sewn shut and
tounge form the mouth she lay bleeding
bleeding

scarlet...stains...scarlet
scarlet...stains...scarlet

scarlet...stains...scarlet
scarlet...stains...scarlet

ripped out
the stiches
ripped out
the stiches
ripped out
the stiches
ripped out
the stiches

his hands
blasphemy
his hands
blasphemy
his hands
blasphemy
his hands
his hands
his hands
his hands

6. Nausea

[Instrumental]

7. Shotgun Wedding

she wasn't born in that brothel I'm told
well aware of where she was
well aware of where she'd end up
in what position
dressed in red down on her knees,
she'd done this sort of thing before
choking back on this disease
dressed to kill

to die for
to die for
to die for
to die for

her pretty face hides the demons inside
the kind that haunt her in her sleep
she was found face down in that ditch
her skirt hiked up
dressed in red down on her knees
she'd done this sort of thing before

make up
chases the tears down her face
the handprints left on her throat
he hits her she'd ask for more
he hits her she'd ask for

just, a little slut
she lost, a little slut
she lost, a little slut
she lost...

her pretty face hides the demons inside
the kind that haunt her in her sleep
she was found face down in that ditch
her skirt hiked up

8. Vivid

in the midnight hour
we wished for dawn
alas we've reaced the fin-al gaze

pull the pins from
beneath my skin
kissing each of
your eyelids closed
pull the pins from
beneath my skin
kissing each of
your eyelids closed

murderer
she looks
beautiful
bleeding
and the tears fall...
down
and tears fall...
down
and tears fall...
down
and tears fall...
down
and tears fall...
down
and tears fall...
down
and tears...

so tired
i
crawl deep in-
side of her
i stole
a glance of your heart beating
i watched until your lungs
ceased
bleeding
breathing

9. Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
The flowers and my love both never to come back
I see the people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see a red door I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
painted, I'll paint it black,
painted, I'll paint it black

10. The Damned

songs
made of whispers silent screams
like a choral of the dead
needles prick the softest skin
and the breeze screams bloodlust
these eyes
gazing over the hilltops burning red
the night skies seem to follow me
blanketing me with crowds of grey and black
the crowd of the damned screams

eyes shown red
raise the dead
eyes shown red
raise the dead

the breeze
screaming over the whispers in the dark
setting the leaves in sway
hanging there like a body from the raftors
smiling
back at me

eyes shown red
raise the dead
eyes shown red
raise the dead

they wait
in eager
circles for me
to stagger into the darkness
these images that i have seen
they still burn inside of me
they still burn inside of me
they still burn...in me
