[Verse 1 Spoken] ‘And now the world has to learn the lesson all over again that weakness in the face of a threat from a tyrant, is the surest way not to peace but to war. Looking back over 12 years, we have been victims of our own desire to placate the implacable, to persuade towards reason the utterly unreasonable, to hope that there was some genuine intent to do good in a regime whose mind is in fact evil. Now the very length of time counts against us. You've waited 12 years. Why not wait a little longer? And indeed we have.’ [Chorus] Lords of War, Take the Stand Lead them all, word in hand Twist and pull from truth and meaning So You listen when i'm speaking Bending will from thought and reason Using weapons of mass persuasion ‘Strictly speaking, it’s not part of my responsibility to determine why Scott left the checkpoint that morning because the remit of my investigation is quite narrow.’ ‘It is unclear what Scott was doing that night and sadly the only person who could help us is no longer with us.’ ‘I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Scott was captured by insurgent forces and ultimately was executed by insurgent forces on the morning of 4th July’ [Chorus] Lords of War, Take the Stand Lead them all, word in hand Twist and pull from truth and meaning So you listen when i'm speaking Bending will from thought and reason Using weapons of mass persuasion

Here we are, locked in this dance of decay, Locked into rivals and prey Torn and defeated, nothing is even, How did we go so astray? Was it a fault in our hearts? Or were we blind from the start? Can't hide the feelings that keep us repeating The things that will tear us apart. How could I not see these walls build up around me The distance so clear in your eyes, Yeah there’s nowhere left to run These things can't be undone, how do we escape with our lives? Cos there’s no crawling out of this hole that we’ve found No, the only way out is down. We fell so far, so can we heal our wounds today, Stop fighting and make our escape? Run into the darkness, the pain and the madness, Can you keep hold of your faith? Can you stand up with blood on your face? Stay true to the path that you made? Hold your convictions despite the conditions And know how to move with the way? How could I not see these walls build up around me The distance so clear in your eyes, Yeah there’s nowhere left to run These things can't be undone, how do we escape with our lives? Cos there’s no crawling out of this hole that we’ve found No, the only way out is down. How could I not see these walls build up around me The distance so clear in your eyes, Yeah there’s nowhere left to run These things can't be undone, how do we escape with our lives? Cos there’s no crawling out of this hole that we’ve found No, the only way out is down.

They’re Calling, They’re Calling From Somewhere, From Out there They’re Pulling, They’re Pulling Me to them, Me through them They’re Dancing, They’re Dancing I’m Holding, Controlling They’re Laughing, They’re Laughing I’m Drowning, I’m Drowning Pry my eyes wide open Tear my soul from me All this information Flowing in so easily They’re in there, Still in there Waiting for you, Waiting for you They’re Teaching, They’re Teaching I’m listening, I’m learning You’re Preaching, You’re Preaching, And I’m laughing, I’m Laughing You’re out here, Still out here Still Preaching, and I’m Laughing Pry my eyes wide open Tear my soul from me All this information Flowing in so easily Pry my eyes wide open Tear my soul from me All this information Flowing in so easily Rip my heart wide open Let my soul run free All is information All is here for me

Devils Song 04:51
I'm not a Saint, not here to save you I lost them ways long ago But Toss a coin to this fallen angel And I will sing you, the devils song See god laughing; at the poor man Whispers evil to the rich So Call your aid, down from heaven I’ll take mine, from below Toss a coin to this fallen angel And I will sing the devils song Put your faith in a Smoke and mirror stranger And drink your fill while time is long I get by on wings of fortune Oh many lifetimes they have flown She gives me plenty, when I’m needing But whatever I hold she turns to stone So when the reaper, comes a calling With a smile I will go For all the deeds and deals I’ve done I can call truly my own Toss a coin to this fallen angel And I will sing the devils song Put your faith in a wanten stranger And take your drink while time is long [Ins] I’ll call you my fallen angel If you sing to me if you sing to me Standing by the torn and faithful Was it meant to be all along? Toss a coin to this fallen angel And I will sing the devils song Put your faith in something stranger And take your drink while time is long

I’ve slept on the desert floor Felt the bombs knocking at my door But I’ve never met a monster quite like this There’s blood stained across my lips Biting pieces off to make them fit Two pairs of boots, which ones do I pick Is there something wrong with me? Some kind of kick? Is there something else that I might have missed? Cos I’ve never met a monster quite like this Black Spiders crawling up my skin Soft whisper calling ‘let me in’ She’s got a voice I can’t resist Dark roots of a twisted vine They’re wrapped up around my spine Can’t pull them out without breaking mine Is there something wrong with me? Some kind of kick? Is there something else that I might have missed? Cos I’ve never met a monster quite like this Now I’m standing here looking at you I can’t tell who it is pulling who Suffocating on burning the truth This shadow won’t die Is there something wrong with me? Some kind of kick? Is there something else that I might have missed? Cos I’ve never met a monster quite like this Is there something wrong with me? Some kind of kick? Cos I’ve never met a monster quite like this QUITE LIKE…

Some say love’s a foolish game And some won’t see till they’re blind That these dark and twisted paths we weave Are the only things worth time I tried to pull away from you But it seems ours intertwined I knew those words were gasoline But the matches weren’t mine We Both might disappear We Both might Disappear It hurts so Good, I can’t get enough It stings so nice I’m on fire She took my hand said ‘hold me close’ ‘There’s something I want to try’ Then she pulled my heart out from behind my back Whilst looking me dead in the eyes Kiss or Bite?, Love or Spite? I said ‘I’ll leave you with something of mine’ Subverting and infecting you Working on the inside We both might disappear We both might disappear It hurts so Good, I can’t get enough It stings so nice I’m on fire But I love the pain of dancing in flames Yeah it hurts so good I might die Yeah it hurts so good I might die These wooden pieces are bigger than me They shake the earth when they move But this checkered board isn’t made for three So someone here’s gonna lose Now it looks like im the fox on ice With water out on all sides But I’m in this for the story dear Didn’t you know old foxes are wise? I'm burning, I'm burning I'm burning, I'm burning It hurts so Good, I can’t get enough It stings so nice I’m on fire But I love the pain of dancing in flames Yeah it hurts so good I might die Yeah it hurts so good I might die Yeah it hurts so good I might
