A Near Death Experience the Whole Family Can Enjoy 04:24
lyrics
(The Father): The road's a little rougher than I remember Seems trouble might have found us I can tell by the way we lose control Curse the coming of the winter White nothing spins around us This will end when I have paid in full Fortune cursed, those bible verses Don't give you no choice Was I young or just plain dumb And guided by the voice (Death): So come along for the ride It's not so bad on the other side We can tell you'd really rather not Listen up, hear me now Oh you're so holier-than-thou Keep your word, you've only got one shot (The Father): A feeling's coming over like lucid dreaming We lie in purgatory I can tell by the way that we weren't saved Is there some cryptic meaning Is this our final story I carry this weight to the grave Oh dear god, I'm desperate To strike a deal with death Could I even win the bet To give them back their breath

I Have Seen the Face of God... 03:02
lyrics
(The Father): Like a bug, it digs at me Goes crawling in my skin Holy ghosts won't let me be It's much to my chagrin I was told that we were everlasting Looks like you've been caught up in a lie I have seen the face of God And it was laughing Old cliches say we are born to die (Death): Like a savior getting burned In pain, I take a bow Past the point of no return Your God can't save you now (The Father): Over time I watched the bodies piling One by one, I've seen my loved ones pass I have seen the face of God And it was smiling Life is fragile, broken like a glass Wasting all the days that I've been counting Waiting for my final breath to take I have seen the face of God And it was frowning Staying 'round so long was a mistake I will bow to Death when he comes creeping After all, no one gets out alive I have seen the face of God And it was weeping "Time is up" he'll say when he arrives

Sound of Sinners 04:42
lyrics
(Death): What's your saving grace You can bet I caught the feeling Something had been left set out of place You've found your way Shaking off the old temptations Seems to be what gets you through the day When did you change your mind And can we change it back We need you on our side No contract has been signed You're free to stay on track Well at least we tried Came to your sense so you Heed your calling When did you wake up to The sound of sinners calling Will they deliver, it seems That they've been stalling We need some peace From all this rapture caterwauling Noble hedonist I remember the relief when I had broken home free from your midst To pray so clear Ain't my prose so eloquent When words I've spoken come not out of fear Damnation puts the fear in you Salvation, a made up kind of truth Why praise a false god when It's better praising nothing at all (The Father): I felt I was always screaming Nonsense at a blessed brick wall Since I was young I could always hear the lie Of holy rollers speaking in tongues (Death): Can't you see that we are Sick of your lying When did you wake up to The sound of sinners crying You cannot think that we trust All your denying When will you give up, 'cause There's no more use in trying

C'est La Vie 03:47
lyrics
(The Father): I wake on a new morn like a Man on the brink of death I'm feeling newborn like I've Just taken my first breath Comatose no more I take up the cross Hold me close I'm sure We were almost lost C'est la vie, ma famille C'est la vie, tragedy Your gait's become corpse-like And you're giving off a chill Translucent in daylight Of this strangeness I've had my fill Captured by these sick Guardian angels Heaven is this it Seems more like it's hell I've been told I'm the portrait of sin Death himself wouldn't let me come in I just pray they can't see through this lie Prove me deadly, we'll se if I die Like tears in rain Apparitions fade Spirits demonstrate What the monsters made
5.
In Time 03:39
lyrics
(Death): This advice fell upon deaf ears What a waste of one's true golden years Talk about a self-indulgence You're in need of an ego death What a waste of someone else's breath Seems to be a slight recurrence Like the poet Orpheus can relate And you know it's Happened only too late I'll take what's mine In time, in time You faked divine The crime of crimes Say goodbye to the promise lands Any more blood spilling on your hands? Consequences fit the action Take 'em down where the tide runs black Did I say there was any turning back? Cursed as a chain reaction Know these faces They're the last that you'll see Yeah, you've made it Greet the day with ennui So damn your kind They're blind, they're blind Accept you're mind In time, in time

Road to Perdition 04:45
lyrics
(The Father): Desperate, I forced redemption Instead of looking inside I don't think I'd like what I would find Weary old road to perdition Carry me from the light Guide me to a place so good and kind No spirits giving off light I can sleep so well through the night I can tell the dead from the live It's all the same Goodbye, goodbye, baby I set us up to fail Goodbye, goodbye, baby I hit the road and bailed Yesterday, I woke up screaming Something had followed me down Phantom limbs reach out in souls I drown So much for my inner demons Got me staying awake I don't think I'm able to escape From spirits giving off light I can't sleep so well through the night I an't tell the dead from the live It's all the same Eye for an eye, the spirit in the sky Opens up like the gates of hell Otherworldly patrols, overtaken by souls No safe home in which to dwell, with... Goodbye, goodbye, baby Oh, don't you worry yet Goodbye, goodbye, baby I'll swallow the regret

...And It Was Screaming 00:56
lyrics
(The Father): All this time I wish I had been dreaming No shelter from the creatures in the dark I have seen the face of God And it was screaming Haunts will follow me like I've been marked
