1. The Ides Of March
(Instrumental)
2. Wrathchild
Born into a scene of angriness and greed, dominance and persecution
My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be
And now I spend my time looking all around
For a man that's nowhere to be found
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around
'Cause I'm a wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild
Well I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you, uh ye-yeah
Uh!
Oh...!
Say it doesn't matter ain't nothing gonna alter the course of my destination
I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind or I just know I'll go crazy
But now I spend my time looking all around
For a man thats nowhere to be found
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around
'Cause I'm a wrathchild
Well I'm a wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you, uh ye-yeah
Yeah!
3. Murders In The Rue Morgue
I remember it as plain as day, although it happened in the dark of the night
I was strolling through the streets of Paris and it was cold it was starting to rain
And then I heard a piercing scream and I rushed to the scene of the crime
But all I found was the butchered remains of two girls lay side by side
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Vite before the killers go free
There's some people coming down the street, at last there's someone heard my call
I can't understand why they're pointing at me, I never done nothing at all
But I must have got some blood on my hands because everyone's shouting at me
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain and like a fool I started running away
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Am I ever gonna be free
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law
All France is looking for me
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure
Down the south to Italy
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Running from the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
I'm never going home
Well I made it to the border at last but I can't erase the scene from my mind
Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind
Well I'm moving through the shadows at night, away from the staring eyes
Any day they'll be looking for me 'cause I know I show the signs of
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Running from the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Running from the arms of the law
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Running from the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Am I ever gonna be free?
It took so long and I'm getting so tired, I'm running out of places to hide
Should I return to the scene of the crime where the two young victims died
If I could go to somebody for help, gt'd get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that it's on my mind that my doctor said I've done it before
Murders in the Rue Morgue
They're never gonna find me
Murders in the Rue Morgue
I'm never going home
4. Another Life
As I lay here lying on my bed
Sweet voices come into my head
Oh, what it is, I wanna know, please won't you tell me, it's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me
Telling me to get away yeah
But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today yeah
As I lay here lying on my bed
Sweet voices come into my head
Oh, what it is, I wanna know, please won't you tell me, it's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me
Telling me to get away yeah
But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today yeah
As I lay here lying on my bed, sweet voices come into my head
Oh, what it is, I wanna know, please won't you tell me, it's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me telling me to get away yeah
But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today yeah
5. Genghis Khan
(Instrumental)
6. Innocent Exile
My life is so empty, nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion cause I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble before this all began yeah
My life is so empty, nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion cause I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble before this all began yeah
I'm running away, nowhere to go
I'm lost and tired and I just dont know, yeah
They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true
They're just trying to frame me and all because of you yeah
Uh yeah
Ah yeah!
Uh!
Lord, I'm coming ah!
7. Killers
Oh yiah, i-yah!
Oh... i-yah!
Oh... yah!
Oh! I-yaah!
Uh yiah!
You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs
My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night
I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me, hahaha...
I can see
What a knife's meant to be
You'll never know
How I came to forsee, see, see
My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties
The glimmer of metal, my moment is ready to strike
The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light
I have found you and now there is no place to run
Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?
Uh yeah! I've done it again
You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs, uh look out, I'm coming for you
A-auh!
8. Prodigal Son
Listen to me Lamia, listen to what I've got to say
I've got these feelings and they won't go away
I've got these fears inside that'll bring me to my knees
Oh, help me Lamia, or I'm sure I'll die, oh please
I feel unsettled, now I know that I've done wrong
Messed around with mystic things and magic for far too long
I feel I'm being paid with this nightmare inside me
Devil's got a hold on my soul and he just won't let me be
I'm on my knees
Oh, help me please
I'm on my knees
Help me please
Oh Lamia, please try to help me
Devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be
Lamia, I've got this curse, I'm turning too bad
Devil's got a hold of my soul and he's driving me mad oh
Oh Lamia, please try to help me
Devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be
Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning too bad
Devil's got a hold of my soul, he's driving me mad oh
9. Purgatory
Thinking of an age old dream
Places I have never seen
Fantasies lived times before
I split my brain, melt through the floor
Over clouds my mind will fly
Forever now I can't think why
My body tries to leave my soul
Or is it me, I just don't know
Memories rising from the past
The futures shadow overcast
Somethings clutching at my head
Through the darkness I'll be led o-ah!
Oh another time, another place
Oh another smile on another face
When you see me, floating up beside you
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Thinking of an age old dream
Places I have never seen
Fantasies lived times before
I split my brain, melt through the floor
Over clouds my mind will fly
Forever now I can't think why
My body tries to leave my soul
Or is it me, I just don't know
Memories rising from the past
The futures shadow overcast
Somethings clutching at my head
Through the darkness I'll be led
Oh another time, another place
Oh another smile on another face
When you see me, walking up beside you
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
10. Twilight Zone
11. Drifter
Walk away
Look out now, baby won't you take me away
