Last Ride Lay you down, lay you dead No more tears, no more breath And the numbness chills my side And then there's nothing till the sunlight cries The glazing eyes all full of flies And then there's nothing till the sunlight ride And when you walk that veil of night And you're too numb to realize That you're going out on your last ride And I'm lonely when the world has died And I'm killing time down on my last ride And I'm lonely when the world has gone and died And I'm lonely when the world has died Yet I'm killing time down on my last ride Fuck I'm lonely when the world has come and died And I'm born to take that ride And I'm born to take that ride And if I'm gonna see that light Just killing time on my last ride And I'm born to take that ride And I'm born to take that ride And if I'm gonna see that light Just killing time on my last ride 5. The Witching Hour And the clock strikes one [A date] with the gun Yeah the witching hour comes upon All the waiting ones And the hand strikes six On the river Styx And the witching hour long past dead Raise a solemn drink And the clock strikes eighteen And it's nothing like you've ever seen Cuz the witching hour's drawing near Oh, your darkest fear And the clock strikes one [A date] with the gun Yeah the witching hour comes upon All the waiting ones Morning star, light my way Blackest light, keep me straight Candle burn, light the skies Hear my name, no more [hide] 6. But A Nightmare I am but a nightmare lurking in your darkest dream Creeping like a phantom as your breathing starts to sink I am just a devil waiting for your pulse to slow Patiently just waiting til your glow is never more I am just a spectre floating right above your face Siphoning your life force as your eyes begin to fade I am but a devil, nothing more and nothing less Preying on the weakest- harvesting the dead I am but a nightmare living in your darkest dream Creeping like a phantom as your breathing starts to sink I am just a devil waiting for your pulse to slow Waiting, ever waiting, waiting ever more! 7.
