Time On Our Hands
02:42

We will die
There's no peace in this life
Only rivers of blood and disease
We've got heat
We have fire and ice
There's a hunger that thrives in our dreams
We will feast
On the flesh
On the bones
And we'll eat all the food we receive
Never cry
They'll steal your belongings
Commit dirty tricks while you sleep
I'll stand alone
I don't need friends
Keep your love
We're not together
I'll bite my tongue
And not say a word
May silence come
And last forever
We'll get high
We'll spread lies that amaze
And turn all livings humans to sheep
We are wolves
We have time on our hands
We are patient
And proud to be mean
We will run
Through a valley of death
But we'll stop when our heart skips a beat
You're not ashamed
Of a life that is balanced
By anger, game theory and greed
I'll stand alone
I don't need friends
Keep your love
We're not together
I'll bite my tongue
And not say a word
May silence come
And last forever
I'll stand alone
I don't need friends
Keep your love
We're not together
I'll bite my tongue
And not say a word
May silence come
And last forever
I'll stand alone
I don't need friends
Keep your love
We're not together
I'll bite my tongue
And not say a word
May silence come
And last forever

Architect

If I could say
Every word that ever crossed my mind
You'd be scared away
I would lose your trust all in due time
If you're like me
Unafraid
And strong-willed
You can live in this house of guilt
That I built
'Cuz I am the architect of lies
If I should roam
And wander far into the night
You're not alone
The darkness cannot hide the light
If you're like me
Unafraid
And strong-willed
You can live in this house of guilt
That I built
'Cuz I am the architect of lies
If there's a way
To project this image in my mind
On your bedroom wall
It's a vision of a peaceful time
If you're like me
Unafraid
And strong-willed
You can live in this house of guilt
That I built
'Cuz I am the architect of lies
If you're like me
Unafraid
And strong-willed
You can live in this house of guilt
That I built
'Cuz I am the architect of lies
I am the architect of lies

You wouldn't face your demons
And haven't still
The soul of all you love is crushed
And there's a chill
The winter season comes around
The dead shall rise from a long sleep
The Roman troops have come to fight
A million voices
Screaming out your name
Wishing you would come
To carry all the blame
'Cuz you're the demon son
Christians pray for rain
Let's hope the devil comes
And leaves them all ashamed
Your belief in science and theory
Does it make you wise
Now that you see things clearly
And changed your mind
At first your world was Mary
The saints and God
There's nothing wrong with losing faith
In what you're not
A million voices
Screaming out your name
Wishing you would come
To carry all the blame
'Cuz you're the demon son
Christians pray for rain
Let's hope the devil comes
And leaves them all ashamed
A million voices
Screaming out your name
Wishing you would come
To carry all the blame
'Cuz you're the demon son
Christians pray for rain
Let's hope the devil comes
And leaves them all ashamed
A million voices
Screaming out your name
Wishing you would come
To carry all the blame
'Cuz you're the demon son
A pastor's claim to fame
Let's hope the devil comes
And leaves them all ashamed

Deep down in my heart
I know
One day you'll decide
To go
You'll leave me a note
That reads
All of the best
Godspeed
Nothing will help
But I'll pretend
That I'm okay
And you're my friend
I'll be the voice
You hear at night
When all your ghosts
Are out of sight
Nothing will help
But I'll pretend
That I'm okay
And you're my friend
I'll be the voice
You hear at night
When all your ghosts
Are out of sight
Deep down in my soul
I hurt
We never could make
Things work
You went away
For good
Just as I knew
You would
Nothing will help
But I'll pretend
That I'm okay
And you're my friend
I'll be the voice
You hear at night
When all your ghosts
Are out of sight
Nothing will help
But I'll pretend
That I'm okay
And you're my friend
I'll be the voice
You hear at night
When all your ghosts
Are out of sight
Nothing will help
But I'll pretend
That I'm okay
And you're my friend
I'll be the voice
You hear at night
When all your ghosts
Are out of sight

Drive forever
Stop for no one
Blow the bridge
And climb the mountain
Seize the warehouse
Free the prisoners
Kill the sunlight
You're the wizard
Magic moonbeams
Helter skelter
Devil worship
Stormy weather
Run like hell
The sweet hereafter
In the courtroom
There is laughter
I've been careful
No one sees me
I can lie
And they'll believe me
Try to fight me
I'll use a corkscrew
Bring your whole crew
And I'll destroy you
They'll betray you
But I'll be waiting
Taking vengeance
Anticipating
When they'll try to
Wreck or damage
Anything that we can't manage
Not your mother
Or your sister
I'm your lover
You're my mister
Riding horseback
Firing rockets
Rip the eyes out
Of their sockets
Call for backup
Are you ready
Please don't fear, love
Nice and steady
They will fight me
I'll use a corkscrew
On their whole crew
Now they'll fear you

I will always be afraid
And that is more than I can take
I'm the beast our Lord God made
So, he's the fool that I will blame
Dreaming
Falling hard into the sea
Drowning
And you are calling out to me
A reason
To live my life is what I need
Demanding
A word of truth I could believe
Let's play charades
I'll be a bird
Wings turn to flames above the earth
My soul in space
There's peace in death
And I will die without regret
Dreaming
Falling hard into the sea
Drowning
And you are calling out to me
A reason
To live my life is what I need
Demanding
A word of truth I could believe
Dreaming
Falling hard into the sea
Drowning
And you are calling out to me
A reason
To live my life is what I need
Demanding
A word of truth I could believe

The Throne of Saint James recommends:

by kissed her little sister
This is a brilliant album. 'Discoteque Dialect' and 'The Angel of the Lord' are personal favorites.

The Coachlight Woods
by Glowworm
Glowworm's album 'The Coachlight Woods' has one of my favorite songs: 'Contrails.' It's perfect. And it's incredible how the dialogue from the film 'Gun Crazy' is used. Highly recommended.
