#### The German Affair Lyrics

⠀

**I'm trapped inside of this hotel with fellow soldiers out of hell**

**And they forced our hands**

**Our hands are dirty now**

**Forced our hands, our hands**

**I found a way around the rules, for company that we could choose**

**But they forced our hands**

**We wait like wolves and we strike**

**We pay for just what we like until this hunger ends**

**I want to love you**

**I want to love you**

**But now I'm back from the war**

**And I'll give you so much more until this hunger ends**

**I want to love you**

**I want to love you**

**I am patiently pacing the room**

**Only God knows what I'm going to do to you**

**I feel my blood is rushing through**

**You can take what you need, and I'll take care of you**

**We wait like wolves and we strike**

**We pay for just what we like until this hunger ends**

**I want to love you**

**I want to love you**

**But now I'm back from the war**

**And I'll give you so much more until this hunger ends**

**I want to love you**

**I want to love you**

**I'm not a lonely man**

**Your normal transaction**

**I can do this myself**

**I'm just here for the reaction**

**So we're both cold, but how you move to my touch**

**Feels like you might be really getting off**

**No, that's a bit much**

**This is love by the hour**

**I know you don't care**

**But it's been a little while, so we'll have some to spare**

**My shrink won't let me run my hands through her hair**

**So pretend that you're listening**

**I've been dying to share**

**To be at my best, I've got to feel the worst**

**And I know thats not what they call healthy**

**Words won't come out, talent don't compel**

**And I can't see the cards they dealt me**

**Speaking of animals, there's no better way**

**To make me howl at the moon than you pretending to pray**

**And with a name that sounds like love in her tongue**

**I'm a dead man smiling on the way to be hung**

**I'm a dead man smiling on the way to be hung**

**I'm a dead man smiling on the way to be hung**

**We wait like wolves and we strike**

**We pay for just what we like until this hunger ends**

**I want to love you**

**I want to love you**

**But now I'm back from the war**

**And I'll give you so much more until this hunger ends**

**I want to love you**

**I want to love you**

**What I meant to say is that I read you left to right**

**Yeah, you know, until it ends**

**We wait like wolves and we strike**

**We pay for just what we like**

#### Black Eclipses Everything Lyrics

⠀

**I have opened every door way,**

**But they always seem to shut.**

**I've adopted every habit,**

**They could only do so much.**

**Every pretty little lady,**

**Every single burning cut**

**Is distracting for the moment,**

**But when they're gone**

**It's not enough.**

**Every doctor in this city,**

**Every preacher in the land**

**They're all really good at talking,**

**But they could never understand.**

**Try to pull me from the wreckage,**

**Try to save me from this rut,**

**You can only go so far**

**Before you finally give up.**

**I get one step forward,**

**Then I get pulled back**

**To the same situation**

**That I can't get passed.**

**Despite the hole in my heart,**

**And my blistered feet,**

**I will always push through it**

**By the skin of my teeth.**

**Every slouch set in my posture,**

**All the tears within my seams**

**Tell a story of the good times**

**Back when we would often speak.**

**We would lay awake for hours,**

**Just staring at the sky.**

**We would talk about the future,**

**As we watched the stars collide.**

**You would say you had to go**

**(You had to go!)**

**But you'd never try to leave**

**(Don't go!)**

**Till the moment finally came**

**And you would kiss me on the cheek**

**(Oh!)**

**Now I'm swearing like a sailor**

**(Damn!)**

**And blushing like a geek**

**(Oh Yeah!)**

**And making plans to see you**

**Once again next week**

**(Ahh!!)**

**(Ben)**

**If I've learned anything at all**

**From my own search for greater meaning, it's:**

**"Living life at deeper depths**

**Takes stronger lungs, and careful breathing."**

**Growth is hard,**

**And often painful,**

**It takes a toll on your back.**

**So trust the oldest man on this song.**

**Enjoy the ride, just relax.**

**(Shannon)**

**I can feel the fire burning faster**

**In the back of your head**

**You'd rather let the flames consume your life than crawl out of bed.**

**You never really took the time to see through my perspective**

**So you moped around for months feeling disconnected**

**If I gave you what you wanted**

**Would it ever be enough?**

**Or would it just prolong the sadness**

**Until our time was up?**

**You've grown to hate the skin you're in because you feel rejected,**

**Blaming everyone else for your own perception.**

**All you want**

**Is something you can't have.**

#### The Spider and the Lamps Lyrics

⠀

**[Barayas The Spider]**

**So you're Ahrima**

**Nice to finally meet ya**

**Heard so much about you**

**And I hope it's all true**

**I saw what they did**

**[Ahrima]**

**Yeah, such arrogance!**

**[Barayas The Spider]**

**I'm the Spider. Crawl inside her**

**I'm gonna show you this once**

**And then you're gonna do it**

**You have a special gift**

**But they still treat you like you're a kid**

**It must hurt so bad**

**With a knife in your back**

**Oh, oh, ohhhh...**

**They don't understand**

**This is their last chance**

**No more idle hands**

**You'll destroy the lamps**

**Then they'll know**

**Who's in control**

**Bring those lamps back to me**

**Don't leave them in one piece**

**Make sure there's a crowd**

**Then tear them to the ground!**

**Bring those lamps back to me**

**Don't leave them in one piece**

**It's your chance for revenge!**

**This will show them!**

**Now it's your turn**

**C'mon, like you mean it!**

**[Ahrima]**

**I have a special gift**

**But they still treat me like I'm a kid**

**It hurts so bad**

**With a knife in your back**

**Oh, oh, ohhh...**

**They don't understand**

**This is their last chance**

**No more idle hands**

**I'll destroy the lamps**

**Then they'll know**

**Who's in control**

**[Barayas The Spider]**

**They can't stop you**

**Bring those lamps back to me**

**Go now!**

**Don't stop!**

**They underestimate you and your gift!**

**[Ahrima and Barayas The Spider]**

**Tear those lamps to the ground!**

**Let them cry their eyes out!**

**Tear those lamps to the ground!**

**Let them hear the sound!**

**[The Narrator]**

**The seed had been sown, now the evil would grow**

**His keen, young veins were ripe for this aim**

**So Ahrima set forth to use the lamps as a torch**

**And with everyone around, he tore them to the ground**

**And suddenly, without warning, their creation was burning!**

**Their design, ignited, all that hard work, slighted!**

**So Toba the Tura was sent**

**To hold Ahrima responsible for his mess**

**To ban him to this fiery abyss!**

**While the remaining found a new place to live**
