I NO LONGER WANT TO BE A MAN.
I WANT TO BE A HORSE.
MEN HAVE SMALL THOUGHTS.
I NEED A TAIL.
GIVE ME A TAIL.
TELL ME A TALE
OF THE CHILDREN THAT STOOD IN THE WAY
OF THE ENDLESS WINTER
OF THE WHITE WITCH WHO'S LONGING TO CRIPPLE IMPALE
I, I AM THE BOY.
SHE, SHE IS THE GIRL.
HE HE IS THE BEAR.
WE WE ARE THE ARMY YOU SEE THROUGH THE RED HAZE OF BLOOD
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD

I, I am the girl.
She, she is the girl.
He, he is the bear.

We, we, we want to be
Him(I), we(I), we(I) want to be a horse.

I, I AM THE BOY
SHE, SHE IS THE GIRL.
HE, HE IS THE BEAR.
AND WE, WE WE ARE THE ARMY
YOU SEE THROUGH THE RED HAZE OF BLOOD
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD
WE ARE THE ARMY YOU SEE THROUGH THE RED HAZE OF
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD
WE ARE THE ARMY YOU SEE THROUGH THE RED HAZE OF
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD

Wanna be a horse
I I I
Wanna be a horse
I I I
Wanna be a horse
I I I
I I I
I I I
I I I
I I I

I
I, I AM THE BOY.
SHE, SHE IS THE GIRL.
HE, HE, HE IS THE BEAR
WE, WE, WE ARE THE ARMY YOU SEE THROUGH THE RED HAZE OF
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD
WE ARE THE ARMY YOU SEE THROUGH THE RED HAZE OF
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD
WE ARE THE ARMY YOU SEE THROUGH THE RED HAZE OF
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD

Steam Rose from the Lifeless Cloak

[No lyrics]

. . .


Lay the cross
that's how we choose to wrap it up.
Time and grant approved,
oh, what a move.

Took a sip -
the compass over rock and cliff.
Dead for years -
on devil's tears.

They disappear -

Fly away -

Spider web,
from my leg to my head.
Dragon's egg,
in the cubbord.
Saw the light,
in the quicksand.
Dark is cryin',
for the world.
Fly from peace.
(oohh)

I said you're gonna get it in a second
on my way from my pony
all the girls so you win it.
You'll never stop the world,
and you make it with a cow,
and they wanna understand it so they kill it.
In summer wont we want to be in school with everyone?
So we huddle all together,
'till we get more damage done,
(oooh).

I say you're gonna get it in a second
on my way come and put it on the girls
and you win it
you never stop the word
try to fake it with a cow
and they wanna undrestand it so they kill it.
In summer wont we want to be in school with everyone?
So now we're all together,
'till we get more damage done.

. . .


out of the bushes
a girl
it's getting cold
outside
it's getting cold

i would drink the water
i would drink the water
i would drink the water
i would drink the water
i would drink the water
i would drink the water

We can break it down, witches!
We can break it down, witches!

That's what your father said
That's what your brother said
That's what your father said
That's what your brother said
That's what your father said
That's what your brother said
That's what your father said
That's what your brother said
....

. . .


When you're done
Everyone

Here they come
Burn your broom

Found your phone
There's a...

Every check a luckless right
Predators turn to blood before
They get home

Take your cauldron and get down

Evil run
Turn to done

Fly, fly, the devil's in your eye, shoot shoot
(We're doomed, we're doomed)

Kingdom come
All as one

. . .


It's nothing new but it's something I get used to
Mama I'm selling my blood (Welcome to hard times)
Daddy I can hear you breathing (I'll take care of you)
Mama I'm selling my blood (Welcome to hard times)
Daddy I can hear you breathing (I'll take care of you)
I'll take care of you
I'll take care of you
They're taking our children away
I'll take care of you
They're taking our children away
I'll take care of you

And why, I love
The end, you knew
Before, my love
Is deep, come through

Fathers, brothers
Uncles, cousins

They Took 14 for the Rest of Our Lives

[No lyrics]

. . .


Well the portions of heaven they gave to a few
So the lions and tigers, they eat really well
But the desperate teenager's under a spell
Yeah they'll sign up for treasure but leave with the girl
Yeah they'll sign up for treasure but leave with the girl
Yeah they'll sign up for treasure but leave with the girl

And the mountain that drew us together is lit
By the lightning that crackles and rivals the wind
Where the only expression of love is through tears
And the highest creation on earth is a bird
The most powerful symbol achieved, let it burn
The most powerful symbol achieved, let it burn
