The Shores of Acheron

When midnight murmurs circle
And dance around your head
You hear what they are saying
And you wish that you were dead
Your mind is streaming forward
But your brain just can't go on
And you wake up washed up, stranded
On the shores of Acheron
The blinding sunlight pierces
The deepest regions of your mind
And the blasting heat it causes
Your frozen heart-strings to unwind
You take your listless dignity
And the crutch it rests upon
And you leave it there forgotten
On the shores of Acheron
If you can't pay the boatman's toll
You'll have to wait there
You're just a shade
It hurts you, you just want to go
But it's to late
The world's begun to fade
And when your logic centers
Have fused into your eyes
To cry your nameless feelings
And melt them into lies
You call out to worshiped idols
But they've already gone
They've left you wandering blindly
On the shores of Acheron

In the desert with the Devil and the Ace of Spades
I had my colors burning
And though they tried to keep me still
Well I just kept on turning
When I turn from
Side to Side
Loosen up my grip
Saw that handle coming
I tried to let it slip
Well Satan he pointed out the sun
I did not think it funny
And when I turned to take a look
You know he pulled out all his money
I said the cash is fabulous
An offer you can't refuse
Except that when you lose you win
And when you win you lose
Well the Ace of Spades he just fell right down
Lay there on his back
I stretched out my hand to help him up
He just said, "Get back"

I'm Gonna Come See You
05:12

I don't know just
What to do
My brain's full up with
Thoughts of you
I just can't get you
Out of my mind
It don't matter you were
So unkind
You got me running myself so
Far up the wall
You go me so close to the edge
I'm ready to fall
Sometimes it's so hard to
Stand the pain
If I don't see you I'm gonna
Go insane
And if you wont see me well then
I'm gonna come see you
There's nothing that you could
Do or say
Would make me want to
Go away
I love you far more than
You can see
And I know deep down
You still feel something for me
And you know that I don't
Want you to be mine
I don't want to own you
Or make you walk the line
And if you truly want us
To be apart
I'll stay away though it
Tears out my heart
But until you say those words
I'm gonna come see you

Midnight Train

I'm leavin' tonight on that midnight train
I'm leavin' tonight on that midnight train
I'm leavin' tonight on that midnight train
Being with you has driven me insane
I keep on going 'cause I want to live
I keep on going 'cause I want to live
I keep on going 'cause I want to live
And baby you want what I just can't give
You tell me you don't know what I mean
Well I guess that's true
You were never with me when we were down on the scene
You were always fucking 'round with
You know who
You'll never know what I've been through
You'll never know what I've been through
You'll never know what I've been through
And I haven't got the time to waste on you
I still think about you know and then
I still think about you know and then
I still think about you know and then
But baby I hope that I never see you again

I'm walking on the backroads of time
But I can't seem to find my way
It’s dark and my feet are getting tired
And I just want to see another day
The forests burn and earth dissolves
But I just keep walking on
My shoes are gone, my feet are full of holes
And I just want to see the dawn
The forests darken and I can hear
Distant laughter from the golden shore
But as I walk the laughter fades
And the flames they burn once more
On the sands of sweet serenity
The calm and warming sunlight gleams
But I am here, and here I’ll stay
In this land of forgotten dreams
