Recreational Sorcery

I wasn't lookin' for a Black Magik woman
But I found one anyways.
Before I knew it, had me acting a fool
Found I was falling for Her wicked ways.
All she had to do was kiss me
I never knew what hit me
Its true the Goddess of Gloom is out to get me
Its Recreational Sorcery blues.
And when a black cat crosses my path
I know there's trouble coming
And Lord I should be running,
But no,
I got Voodoo of my own.
And when I catch Her
That woman ain't a match for Me, oh no
I got Voodoo of my own.
I wasn't lookin' for a Black Magik woman
But I found one anyways.
The stakes grew higher
I was lowered to the Fire,
I was livin' out my final days.
All she had to do was kiss me
I never knew what hit me
Its true the Goddess of Gloom is out to get me.
Its Recreational Sorcery blues

Ol' Graveyard
You can't hold me always.
There's a hearse in the distance lords
And somebody's calling my name.
oh my Lord,
What shall I do?

Crown of Flies
07:16
|
|||
Truth be told I'm growing colder
Death she beckons o'er and o'er
So we dance,
Graveyard romance.
Relinquish this cross from my hands.
Bitter tastes the tongue
That often telleth lies
Heavy sits the head
That wears a crown of flies.
Vultures wait
They know my fate
This Soul's burden is much too great.
Rest assured
He wont endure,
You can quoth this Raven nevermore.
Bitter tastes the tongue
That often telleth lies
Heavy sits the head
That wears a crown of flies.
Righteous in nature but Evil by will
Severed from Spirit and programmed to kill
The Darkness you think you know,
It grows ever darker, still.
And when it finds you, it will remind you
Of all the sins you tried to leave behind you.
A coronation! A celebration is in order
For the beast that sleeps inside you.
Time doesnt wait, and it doesnt forgive
Dont wait to die, find you never did live.
Dont look outside yourself,
For the Kingdom of Heaven's within.
Forget your Ego,
Forget your name.
Covet the Light,
The Imperishable Flame!
For all that in Darkness lives,
Will be brought to Light again.
When Darkness finds you, it will remind you
Of all the sins you tried to leave behind you.
A celebration! The coronation is in order
For the beast that sleeps inside you.
And when it finds you, it will remind you
Of all the evil things you left behind you.
A coronation! A celebation is in order
For the beast that sleeps inside you.
Forget your Ego,
Forget your name.
Covet the Light,
The Imperishable Flame!
For all that in Darkness lives,
Will be brought to Light again.
When Darkness finds you, it will remind you
Of all the sins you tried to leave behind you.
A celebration! The coronation is in order
For the beast that sleeps inside you.
And when it finds you, it will remind you
Of all the evil things you left behind you.
A coronation! A celebation is in order
For the beast that sleeps inside you.
It reigns inside you.
It lives inside you.

Fool's Gold
06:53

Oh,
I didn't know that Paradise would be so cold
I wish somebody would've told me before I sold my Soul.
Now im buried 'neath the sands of Time
Looking for what I'll never find.
Am I losing my head or is it all in my mind?
Take from what you can
Baby I will understand
Take from me what you will
baby I will love you still
Take from me what you need
Baby it don't bother me, oh no.
Oh,
I shoulda known that Paradise would be a lie
I'll lay my bones to Die alone beneath the Western Sky
Buried 'neath the sands of Time
Looking for what I'll never find
Am I losing my head or is it all in my mind?
Take from what you can
Baby I will understand
Take from me what you will
baby I will love you still
Take from me what you need
Baby it don't bother me, oh no.
(I don't know but I been told
All that glitters is Fool's Gold)

Poor Man's Furs
05:14
|
|||
Don't know which day today is
To me they're all the same.
And my only music is the
Rattle of the change in my pockets
Baby
Don't know which way straight is
Yes I been lost for days
Told my baby that I would be soon
It's been many a moon since I saw her face
Lo, my will is weak
And my fortune's none
All my ties are nearly severed.
I can't set me free
So I seek The One,
Don't want to live like this forever.
Death caresses me
Sin undresses me, only to find
Im made of Light
Dressed in confusion
Blessed illusion
You won't see me I'm out of sight
I wear my poor man's furs just right.

Ol' Black Rider
A dog without his chain
Wild and untame
Ol' Black Rider
No master, no name
A Bastard you'll remain
Ol' Black Rider
Of skin and sin
Our Son is born
Poised to shed the Human Form
Ol' Black Rider
No master, no name
A Bastard you'll remain

Tourniquet of Destiny
04:29
|

Ive been away
Been away so long
Many Winters Ive been gone.
I grew my hair and didnt care to speak
Many Winters I was free.
I grew so old I couldn't hold my teeth
Many Winters I did sleep
I lost my faith along the way somewhere
Many Winters I despaired
Now Misery sits next to me
The Tourniquet of Destiny
Is tied
I've been away
Been away so long
Many Winters I been gone
I quit my name
Abandoned God
And sought for me
A righteous nod.
Now Misery sits next to me
The Tourniquet of Destiny is tied.
The world it see's me smiling
But believe me i'm dying inside.
Left with nothing to else,
Taunting Death I pick and choose
My poison.

Devil Dog Road
09:37
|
|||
Up the high country, down the valleys low
Hard luck baby everywhere I go
Saw the big city, couldn't dig the scene
The living was hard and the people were mean.
That's why I feel I have to go,
Don't care what I find, got ramblin' on my mind
And the Devil's weighing heavy on my Soul.
Stuck in high water, lost in the sticks
Gettin' my kicks on the 66
No sleep, no money, no peace of mind
Still looking for something I can't seem to find
That's why I feel I have to go
Don't care what I find, got ramblin' on my mind
And the Devil's weighing heavy on my Soul.
Oh Life is hard and blood is cheap
And Death alone will set you free
Down Devil Dog Road I go
Its the only road I know
Oh Life is hard and blood is cheap
And Love will only make you weak
Oh Life is hard and blood is cheap
And Death alone will set you free.
Gotta dig a hole to put the Devil in...
