Death Is My Lover
It's been a long long day
But he's coming home
It's been a long long day
But he's coming home
He shakes them like a rattlesnake
Death's been shaking my bones
It's been a long long way
But he's coming home
It's been a long long way
But he's coming home
He shakes them like a rattlesnake
Death's been shaking my bones
(Death is my lover)
Death is the lover that I want tonight

Leeches

Leeches
The terror is mounting
The devil is drawing near
A parade of fire
Illuminates the paths we fear
We sat watching boxes
Assemble into themselves
We weighed in on gravity
And into the darkness we fell
The weight of your hand
Hangs heavier than a crown
Because I can't compete
With the leeches lying in your pond
The weight of your hand
Hangs heavier than a crown
Because I can't compete
With the leeches lying in your pond

When The Full Moon Comes Out
The warmth starts arising
From my itching skin
And my body starts to tremble
Like a leaf in the wind
When the Full Moon Comes Out
When the Full Moon Comes Out
The gleam is shining
Off the whites of my canines
Sharpened bone to tear out
All the terror inside
When the Full Moon Comes Out
When the Full Moon Comes Out
When the Full Moon Comes Out
When the Full Moon Comes Out
Babe
Avoid the dark
Cuz my bite is much worse than my bark
I'm just a shady shapeshifter
Howling in the wind
No freak is my foe
Nobody normal is my friend
When the Full Moon Comes Out
When the Full Moon Comes Out
Through these sinful streets I prowl
For a luscious lady
To slake my thirst for lust
My virgin offer to Phoebe
When the Full Moon Comes Out
When the Full Moon Comes Out
When the Full Moon Comes Out
When the Full Moon Comes Out
Babe
Avoid the dark
Cuz my bite is much worse than my bark
Babe
You ain't no silver bullet
When the Full Moon Comes Out

10 Crows

If sidewalk cracks could kill/Then I'd press them with my heels
If I could command black crows to caw/A murder of shadows like you never saw
Will drag you
Down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
Down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
They'll drag you down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
And there you'll stay
A cold carcass
Now I can drink and never get drunk
And you've had your fun at the young ladies' cost
But once I introduce Nancy Whiskey to you
I'll find you the next morn on the floor
With your body blue
She'll lead you
Down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
Down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
She'll lead you down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
And there you'll stay
A cold carcass
One crow for sorrow
Two crows for mirth
Three crows for a wedding
Four crows for a birth
Five crows for silver
And six crows for gold
Seven crows for a secret not to be told
Eight crows for heaven
Nine crows for hell
Ten crows for the devil
Satan's own self
Down with the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
And there you'll stay
A cold carcass

Desiree

Desiree
The moon was full
Just like the lips of Desiree
The trees swayed
Just like the hips of Desiree
On that fateful night
My lovely Desi was struck down
The clouds screamed
Just like the soul of Desiree
To all the Gods I'd prayed
For a girl like Desiree
But one night the devil came
And took my lovely angel away
It was too late
When I first found my Desiree
But I'd find a way
To revive my Desiree
With a little ingenuity
And a sacrifice so bold
So you can see
Please take my eyes sweet Desiree
So you can breathe
Please take my heart sweet Desiree
So you can sleep
Please take my dreams sweet Desiree
So you can weep
Please take my tears sweet Desiree
Then I sewed my skin up tight
And left the pain of this earthly world
I'd die a thousand deaths
So she could live one minute more

The eight-piece ensemble has been described by De La Vie TV as “the best band you’ve never heard of” with “one of the best live shows that will leave you watching in awe.” ... more
