Never Sleep Again

Moments after midnight the telephone rang
I told her that I had to go
She didn’t want to be alone
She begged me to stay
I said my goodbyes
If only I had known she would die
I will never sleep again
Haunted by the ghosts of the past
After I left there was a knock at the door
If only she had know what was in store
She opened the door a man said “Mrs. North”
She replied “Yes, What is this about?”
He pulled out a pistol and fired one shot
She fell to the floor
I will never sleep again (as long as I live)
Haunted by the ghosts of the past (what could have been”
I have a taste for revenge (consumed with revenge)
I will never sleep again, never sleep again

A Night to Remember

I knew he would be trouble when he walked in through the door
He never bothered to knock he kicked it straight down to the floor
I stood from my desk and looked him dead in the eyes
He was there to settle a score only one would leave alive
It will be a night to remember when all is said and done
I hope that he has come prepared, prepared to lose it all
I will free him from his prison when I lay his body in the ground
It will be a night to remember
He took a swing cracked his knuckles across my jaw
I hit him once I hit him again and pushed him to the wall
He pulled out his knife and tried to end it all
He seemed surprised that I was quicker than his draw
It will be a night to remember when all is said and done
I hope that he has come prepared, prepared to lose it all
I will free him from his prison when I lay his body in the ground
It will be a night to remember

A Dangerous Game
04:42
|

|
Oh what a bloody scene a story to unfold shrouded in mystery
A man lies on the carpet with a knife stuck in his chest
The evidence is damning what do you suggest
A handprint on the doorway a note left in his hand
The wolves are clawing at our doors this is such a travesty
A killer entered sight unseen
No one saw him leave
Someone’s got blood on their hands
Soon you will suffer
Soon you will pay
There is no chance to get away
We all play such a dangerous game
Someones got blood on their hands
Someones got blood on their hands
We followed in his footsteps down darkened alleyways
The snow couldn’t conceal him he won’t be the one that got away
The trail lead us to a tavern off the beaten path
We stopped and read the note it only had a name
We asked the bartender do you recognize this man
He said “he’s in the corner, he’s sitting right over there.”

Strangers in the Night
04:18
|

|
We meet at the diner where she sat and told her tale
I believed every word she said she must be in such a hell
She had to sell herself to settle all the debts
But that was not enough, it was never enough
She made grave mistake in trusting the old man
She said she’d rather die than give into them again
Please take me away from this place
I know that I’ll die if I stay
We were strangers in the night
Come with me i’ll set you free
From this nightmare you live
She has run out of time, she only has tonight
They said that if she returned they would spare her life
I knew better than that I’ve seen his crimes before
The bodies left behind would shock you to the core
One chance to end it all it has to be tonight
A sinister plan, a devilish plot
Please take me away from this place
I know that I’ll die if I stay
We were stranger in the night
Come with me I’ll set you free
From this nightmare you live
Run run away, run run away, gotta get away gotta get away

Mr. White

Mister White had a heart of stone
Beat you down and take your bones
Make a deal and he’ll own your soul
He’ll cut you down to achieve his goal
He wants it all
He wants it now
Oh he’ll get what he deserves
He wants it all
He wants it now
If not you’ll pay the price
You’ll be the one he hurts
This old city will be his throne
Too many sins to atone
You can’t have his pile of gold
Put down your cards it’s time to fold
He wants it all
He wants it now
Oh he’ll get what he deserves
He wants it all
He wants it now
If not you’ll pay the price
You’ll be the one he hurts

City of Ash
03:14

|
There was a fire, it burned though the night
Everyone around beheld the sight
Smoke bellowed from all around
As ash covered the ground
You bring the gas
I’ll bring the match
We’ll turn this whole city to ash
Light the fire stoke the flames
Let it burn all our sins away
Burn all the evidence
So they won’t have a case
We will disappear without a trace
Let them sift through the ashes
This city is mine
You bring the gas
I’ll bring the match
We’ll turn this whole city to ash
Light the fire stoke the flames
Let it burn all our sins away
If I can’t have it all no one will this city is mine

Any Last Words
03:54
|

|
Here we sit at a table for two
All alone just me and you
He spoke first with angered tones
He said that I should let it all go
And he said, “Do you have any last words before this night ends?”
I Replied, “I won’t die tonight, not without a fight.”
Lets play a game it’s only me and you
Cards are on the table I have to see this through
How can I trust you after what I’ve seen you do
Will this end the game or is it too good to be true
And he said, “Do you have any last words before this night ends?”
I Replied, “I won’t die tonight, not without a fight.”

There is something completely satisfying about this release. Every aspect of it, from the arrangements to the production are like eating your favourite ice cream. The song writing is sublime. I haven't heard quality like this for 20 years. Wonderful!
