Your time is coming
My time is here
When you finally figure it out
You may find your changing heart
Living in a shade of despair
Standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow, of love
Oh, above
Mystery keeps my mind alive
Though I know it’s gonna end in pain
When you finally figure it out
You may find your changing heart
Living in a shade of despair
Standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow, of love
Oh, above
Rites and stories, sorrow and sin
Come on let them in
Fear keeps your focus
On the past, worrying about your future
When you finally figure it out
You may find your changing heart
Living in a shade of despair
Standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow, of love
Oh, above

I’ve been walking from door to door
In a place I’ve known before
I keep a knocking and they won’t let me in
I don’t know where to begin
Oh, this time, no heaven or hell
Where to begin
Oh, where to begin
Sitting here in a lonely room
Staring at a tower of doom
All I need is one more dance
Won’t you gimme one more chance
Oh, this time, no heaven or no hell
Where to begin
Oh, where to begin
This must be my true religion
Oh, my true religion
I don’t know where to begin
Hesitation gonna be my end
I’m walking in a dead man’s shoes
I got nothing, nothing to lose
This must be my true religion
Oh yes now, this must be my true religion
This must be, oh my true religion

We’re so deep in the midnight hour
You have pushed oh his brutal power
Turn away now, if you must
You’ve mistaken all those things
You thought were trust
Here it comes now
Don’t be late, he can’t wait
He’s a man with terrible resolve
He’s got obsession baby you don’t want to know
He’s gonna make you, oh, jump and shout
Take you to his corner with no way out
Here it comes now
Don’t be late, he can’t wait
Oh, yes he walks behind you
It’s a presence you can’t shake
He’s in your dreams taking over your night
He’s in your mind and you can’t fight
Here it comes now
Don’t be late, he can’t wait
Oh, yes he walks behind you
It’s a presence you can’t shake

Pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
Oh, pleasure couldn’t get any better
Tires hiss in the midnight hour
I can feel its lonely power
No need for me to resist it
Keep looking for a fatal kiss
Pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
Oh, pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
Crying out for blood and vengeance
Living in a storm and tempest
Going down like a western dream
Don’t you call me Mister In-between
Pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
Oh, pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
This ain’t no heart fixing business
And, I want to believe
It’s like a gasoline story
Open up, open up and bleed
It’s a miracle that I survive
Pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
Oh, pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
Can’t believe because of me
You ain’t got no memory
Not asking for your forgiveness
Just call it some heart fixing business
Pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
It’s over now
Pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better
It’s over now
Pleasure, pleasure couldn’t get any better

Before the deluge, I was torn
A silent climber he came to me
Reformer’s mission is what he told me
A veil of tears for your affliction
Sometimes, we all get it wrong
Let me tell you about a time
When I was drifting
A thousand dots, on an open sea
Reckless fool he was whispering
I will be your mantle
Your destiny
Sometimes we all get it wrong
I found out it’s like a dream and a fear
Kill the specter
That haunts my mind
And, the stories will be forgotten
And, redemption is gonna be postponed
Sometimes we all get it wrong
Sometimes we may get it right
It may be wrong, but I won’t be wrong always
It may be wrong, but I won’t be wrong always

Should have known you can’t outwit fate
Keep on singing your song boy
It’s too late
Can’t you see the hunger in their eyes
Telling the stories, oh telling the lies
Living in this dark, dark disguise
Can’t you see the love that you despise?
Fate is like a one-way street
You sacrifice what you are, with no belief
You may go and you will follow
Fate might be the cruelest joke of all
Living in this dark, dark disguise
Can’t you see the love that you despise?
That you despise
Living in this dark, dark disguise
Can’t you see the love that you despise?
Oh, that you despise
Oh, that you despise

Slipping and sliding oh and I feel all right
Walking that road
You know you got to keep it tight
I saw the danger, but I came too far
The lines are crossed in some psychic war
Pressure point, pressure point is here
Pressure point, pressure point is here
I heard him speak in some foreboding conversation
He kept repeating over and over again
They took me deep, deep in a rabbit hole
He said it’s like the bible
The bible with guns
Pressure point, pressure point is here
Pressure point, pressure point is here
Listen to the man
Oh, Iisten to the man
Listen to the man now
Oh, listen to the man
This will be the evening’s last whisper
This will the final remorse
This will be the evening’s last whisper
This will be the final remorse
Oh, listen to the man

Will I just run to it, or will I wait now
Is it just another blue night mistake?
I ain’t mistaken
Objects of oblivion
They don’t do me no good
Another spiritless night here
I’d end it if I could
Will I just run to it, or will I wait now
Is it just another blue night mistake?
I ain’t mistaken
Alive and dying
And the ghost songs are here
My despair and deliverance
Might not disappear
Will I just run to it, or will I wait now
Is it just another blue night mistake?
And I ain’t mistaken
You know that someday
Maybe I’ll get it right
You know that someday
Maybe tonight’s the night, tonight’s the night
Oh, tonight’s the night
Will I just run to it, or will I wait now
Is it just another blue night mistake?
I ain’t mistaken
Oh, I ain’t mistaken
Tonight’s the night
Tonight’s the night

You say I’m guilty
Oh, what was my crime
Staring at the moonbeams
Crying, crying all the time
Crying out for justice
Oh well, it ain’t happened yet
No, it ain’t happened yet
The shield of the law fails in the name of justice
Lookout now my conscience is so clear
Crying out for justice
Oh, it ain’t happened yet
No, it ain’t happened yet
And, all you dreamers
And, backroom schemers
Could you be so wrong?
Oh, you’d be so wrong
Your security is in your own hands
And, I refuse to answer because it might incriminate me
Crying out for justice
Oh, well it ain’t happened yet
No, it ain’t happened yet
Staring at the moonbeam
Crying, crying all the time
I’ve been staring at the moonbeam
Crying, crying all the time
Oh, cry, cry, cry

Moving faster, getting slow
Is it K time, I didn’t know
Is it down time
What’s the answer
What’s the question, I just don’t know
There lies the mystery
At the crossroads once again
Once again
Time it gets so slow
The more I wait the less I know
Moving faster I smell the fear
I’m talking low, I’m talking slow
I’ll never walk it back again
I will love eternity of time
Oh, yes it’s time
Let it begin now
Slow days are coming
Slow nights are finally here
Slow days are coming
Slow nights are finally here
