Devils Curse

I may not be the reverent kind
but I've had my share of hell
I may not be the honest kind
i can honestly declare
THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL DO
YOU NO GOOD
THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU
I may not go to church on Sunday
or repent my sins
I may not thank the Lord for food
or bless the clothes I wear
but THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL DO
YOU NO GOOD
THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL BE THE end OF YOU
Grab on to the light my dear
Hold on tight and run
The devils got a path in mind
And he’s winding you to hell
instrumental
I may not drink from the holy Grail
but I swallowed your lies
I may not kneel in the face of god
But god I know your kind
THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL DO
YOU NO GOOD
THIS ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELLING
WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU
put to rest that demon voice
calling you back in
the devil's got a path in mind
he is winding you to hell
I may not be the faithful kind
But ive had my share of hell

If I Didn't Know Better

If I didn't know better
I'd hang my hat right there
If I didn't know better
I'd follow you up the stairs
Stop saying those sweet things
You know I like to hear
The horns are blowing louder
And the bailiffs drawing near
Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you
If I didn't know better
Well damnit
I do
There's a hole in what you're saying
I can plainly see
You have a lover that's waiting but baby you're right
Here with me
Ooh, you might as well be the devil
Oh, keeping me out past three
Oh, you're…

Verse 1
I can hear your voice calling
Echoes in my mind
I can see your silhouette
In my bedroom door
Chorus
But where are you now
Where are you now
Verse 2
I can smell your sweet perfume
Clinging to my sheets
I can sense your body heat
When you leave the room
Chorus
But where are you now
Where are you now
BRIDGE
Cause I can’t live in a Fairytale
With Dragons flying by
INSTRUMENTAL
Verse 3
I have seen your movements change
When you close your eyes
I have been your appetite
When you starved for love
Chorus
And where are you now
Where are you now
Bridge Outro
For I can’t live in a Fairytale
NO I won’t live in a Fairytale
No I can’t live in a Fairytale
With Dragons flying by

If You Were Real

Verse 1
If you were real
we could tear that burden down
you take the wheel
we could ride into the sun
we would reveal
all the scars to leave behind
we'd learn to feel
chase away our crimes
if you were real
Verse 2
If you were mine
I would learn to be your friend
we'd drink some wine
as the day came to an end
we'd see the signs
and we'd read each one out loud
We'd be divine
head stuck in the clouds
If you were mine
Chorus
If you were Real
If you were Mine
If you were Real
If you were Mine
Verse 3
If we could fly
We would glide into the night
we could rely
on truth to fuel our flight
we would defy
atmospheric weight
no need for goodbye
we would stayyyyyyyyy
side by side
Chorus
If you were real
If you were mine
If we could fly
It be divine
Instrumental over Verse
Chorus
If you were real
If you were mine
If we could fly
I'd be divine
If you were real
It be divine

We're Through
03:41
|

Verse 1
I have climbed a thousand mountains
Just to be with you
I have sailed the seven seas
On a lifeboat built for two
I have cut a million ties
When I tied the knot with you
I have broken down the barricades
Hopin we’ll get through
Pre-Chorus
But we’re done just like
The needle and
The damage
We’re done just like
The wine we drink each night
We’re done just like
We were before
We fell into this trap
Chorus
When all is said and done
We’re Through
Verse 2
I can’t write another love song
About how you done me wrong
I can’t hold another breathe
In the hope of change to come
We can’t run another lap
On this god forsaken track
You can’t tell me no more lies
That will make me wanna come back
Pre-Chorus
But we’re done just like
The needle and
The damage
We’re done just like
The wine we drink each night
We’re done just like
We were before
We fell into this trap
Chorus
When all is said and done
What’s Done can’t be undone
When all is said and done
We’re Through
BRIDGE
Why put off tomorrow what
Could be done today
Say goodbye and don’t look back
It’s easier this way
Pre-Chorus
But we’re done just like
The needle and
The damage
We’re done just like
The wine we drink each night
But we’re done just like
The needle and
The damage
We’re done just like
The wine we drink each night
We’re done just like
We were before
We fell into this trap
Chorus
When all is said and done
What’s Done can’t be undone
When all is said and done
What’s Done can’t be undone
When all is said and done...
