Fozzy - Sin and Bones Album Lyrics

I woke up with a Spider in my mouth
And a Cockroach in my head
I fell asleep with a killer in the house
And a monster in my bed
I dragged a corpse across a crowded street
And I smoked a cigarette
I stole a car with a baby in the seat
And I sold it on a bet

My life goes by in the photographs
The images that we hide
My ghosts that were once invisible
Now buried down deep inside

I read a book that was written in my blood
And I embossed it with my skin
I watched a friend drowning in the flood
And I wallowed in my sin
Inject a drug that led to my demise
And liquefied my brain
Choking on the smell of the surprise
And collapse another vein

My life goes by in the photographs
The images that we hide
My ghosts that were once invisible
Now buried down deep inside

Go

My life goes by in the photographs
The images that we hide
My ghosts that were once invisible
Now buried down deep inside

A cat-scratch, a whiplash, a witch hunt in black, Sandpaper

Sandpaper tears at my skin, grinding the state I'm in
Millstone my heart it scrapes, grabbing the soul that bleeds within
Abrasive wounds that never heal, bleeding emotions are hard to feel
Evasive sounds of true bliss calling
Mauling your paramour's kiss revealed

Something happens when the dark meets the light,
Something happens when you start up the fight,
Something happens when the sun turns to grey
Something happens when you scare the monsters away

A cat-scratch, a whiplash, a witch hunt in black, Sandpaper

Flash paper burns to the bone, melting away without a moan
Blowtorch my brain away, there's nothing left for me to pray
Eroding all that I've become, taking and breaking all that I've won
Decoding thoughts within my mind, bleeding and feeding what I might find

Something happens when the dark meets the light,
Something happens when you start up the fight,
Something happens when the sun turns to grey,
Something happens when you scare the monsters away.

Something happens when the dark meets the light,
Something happens when you start up the fight,
Something happens when the sun turns to grey
Visions happen that scare us away

Something happens when the dark meets the light,
Something happens when you start up the fight,
Something happens when the sun turns to grey,
Something happens when you scare the monsters away.

A cat scratch,
A whiplash,
A witch hunt in black
Sandpaper.

Sandpaper.

A cat scratch,
A whiplash,
A witch hunt in black
Sandpaper.

Sandpaper.

A cat-scratch, a whiplash, a witch hunt in black, Sandpaper
Sandpaper,
A cat-scratch, a whiplash, a witch hunt in black, Sandpaper
Sandpaper

I'm a street sweeper
Scene stealer
Double-barrelled key keeper
Living my life on the fly
I'm a code breaker
Faith shaker
Armour-plated earthquaker
Not gonna stop till I die

The time has come
To raze the place to the ground
The time has come
And now the hammer will pound
It's time to run
When the fists start to fly
The time has come
When you're hit you know you can't deny

Blood Happens

Blood Happens

I'm a grave robber
Shell lobber
Crimson-shaded heart stopper
Wearing the crest of a knave
I'm a night stalker
Street walker
Dirty-dealing back talker
Won't ever see me again

The time has come
To raze the place to the ground
The time has come
And now the hammer will pound
It's time to run
When the fists start to fly
The time has come
When you're hit you know you can't deny

Blood Happens

Blood Happens

The time has come
To raze the place to the ground
The time has come
And now the hammer will pound
It's time to run
When the fists start to fly
The time has come
When you're hit you know you can't deny

Blood Happens

Blood Happens

Crumple to the floor like a ton of bricks
Never saw it coming cause it happened so quick
Reputation done
Damage has been done
Taught you a lesson
Not to piss off the wrong one

Blood Happens

Blood Happens

How can I feel this way?
When I know its right
To chase your demons away
And it's so hard but it its right
Inside to feel the fire
To keep you far away

[Chorus]
Why do I need?
To make it be
Can you help me kill the sounds inside my head?
Why do I burst?
For all that's worst
Can you help me kill the sounds inside my head?

Now that I call you friend
Feelings return and I
Long see you again
And it's so hard but its right
Inside to feel the fight
I want you back again

[Chorus]

Make my way
Flush my soul
Lost inside in deep dark hole
Sink my ship
Drown my pain
Like a phoenix, I will rise again

[Chorus]

Can you help me kill the sounds inside my head?

[Chorus]

What ever happened to you?
The weight of the world
Has crushed your shoulders
Why do you do what you do?
Greed lives in the eye
Of the beholder

If you want it
You must take it
If you believe it
You can't fake it
If you have it
You must use it
If you find it
You can't lose it again

The ice in your veins
Makes you strong
The hole in your soul
Tearing onward
You're breaking your back
Everyday
The sin and bones lead
You astray

The glint in your eye is of cold steel
You're stabbing the knife in their back
The love in your heart has been congealed
Jumping right off of the track

Mystery finds me in darkness
Sun won't shine
Blistering pain from a passed life
Cross that line

Into the moonlight I ride
One way trip to the other side
Into the moonlight I ride
Losing my grip I cannot hide

Standing on top of a mountain
Long way down
Hearing the voice of a madman
Hit the ground

Into the moonlight I ride
One way trip to the other side
Into the moonlight I ride
Losing my grip I cannot hide

Into the casket I go
Debt has been paid seeds have been sown
End of the line all that I know

Into the inferno I crawl
Licking the flames tasting my fall
Melting away sirens that call

Into the moonlight I ride
One way trip to the other side
Into the moonlight I ride
Losing my grip I cannot hide

Dreaming about
My passed life

Into the moonlight I ride
One way trip to the other side
Into the moonlight I ride
Losing my grip I cannot hide

Oh I can't hide
From my passed life

Oh I can't hide
From my passed life

I kicked heroin without a care
I quit whisky shots on a dare
But she to me
Casts a spell that I can't see
My mind can't find
Disappears like a cocaine line

She's my addiction
No rehab can break this chain
She's my addiction
Her poison shoots right through my vein
She's my addiction
A one way ticket back again
She's my addiction
This damn woman's drivin' me insane

Chased the dragon back into his cave
Killed the ecstasy to free the slave
But she to me
This is all that I can be
My mind can't find
Blown away like a landmine

She's my addiction
No rehab can break this chain
She's my addiction
Her poison shoots right through my vein
She's my addiction
A one way ticket back again
She's my addiction
This damn woman's drivin' me insane

Gimme perks gimme vics gimme LSD
Gimme weed gimme speed don't work for me
She's my high she's my wine she's my status quo
She's my junk she's my funk she's my rock and roll

She's my addiction
No rehab can break this chain
She's my addiction
Her poison shoots right through my vein
She's my addiction
A one way ticket back again
She's my addiction
This damn woman's drivin' me insane

She's my addiction
No rehab can break this chain
She's my addiction
Her poison shoots right through my vein
She's my addiction
A one way ticket back again
She's my addiction
She's my woman
This damn woman's drivin' me insane

I never knew who I was until I was standing on the edge
I never felt so empty and alone, my memories my only friend
Dreams about the past and what is meant to be
Silent as the sun goes down, I pray the night will set me free

My time's born at sunrise
My shadows become shade
I will shine forever
Even though the dark comes to take me away

My pulse pounding blood enraged
What is this I have done?
The finish line within my grasp
I'm not the only one

Seconds, minutes, hours turn to days
So much time I let slip away
Silence as the sun goes down
And pray it comes back up again

My time's born at sunrise
My shadows become shade
I will shine forever
Even though the dark comes to take me away

Love can be your enemy
Or an angel from above
A blackened beast that you can't see
Or a soaring snow white dove

Love can be your enemy
Or an angel from above
A blackened beast that you can't see
Or a soaring snow white dove

My time's born at sunrise
My shadows become shade
I will shine forever
Even though the dark comes to take me away

Jesus is my co-pilot
Or that's just what they
But it's not the Savior
Who guides me every day

The soul that's deep inside of me
Once so clean and pure
Now a festering sore
A pain I can't endure

Tick tick tock
It's only a matter of time
And when that stranger arrives
He's my dark passenger
Won't leave me be
He's my dark passenger
Won't set me free
From my dark passenger

City wide hysteria
Sadist on the loose
He can't be contained
Insane I follow my muse

Butchery atrocity
Possessed by this beast
Trust my deeds then watch me bleed
Murder it grants me peace

Tick tick tock
It's only a matter of time
And when that stranger arrives
He's my dark passenger
Won't leave me be
He's my dark passenger
Please set me free
From this curse and my murderous urge

Stalking through these city streets
As the rain comes pouring down
Forgive me Lord for what I've done
And wash this blood away
And wash away this sin
And cleanse these thoughts away
And let me kill again

Tick tick tock
It's only a matter of time
And when that stranger arrives
He's my dark passenger
Won't leave me be
He's my dark passenger
Please set me free
From this curse and my murderous urge

He's my dark passenger

He's my dark passenger

[I - Prologue:]

It's June 6, 1944
I turned 19 two days before
Pride and bravery I can't ignore
Representing my country in this World War

[II - Eisenhower's Letter:]

The Great Crusade Eisenhower decrees
To bring an end to the Nazi war machine
Eliminate the German demon seed
Insuring that the Lord's free world stays free

True honor and glory I'll receive
When I protect the USA
My Mother will be so proud of me
I'm the hero of the day

Kill 'em all let God's will decide
The demise of Hitler's reign
I'll take my shot and death will arrive
When I splatter their rotted brains

The freedom of all good citizens
Lives forever on through me
I'll defend every one of them
From sea to shining sea...

[III - Able Company:]

...The sea once shined with the light of the sun
Now it flows bright red with the blood of the sons
They were the chosen ones
Now their tour is done

First platoon to tread on Omaha's sands
Stricken down by the shells before they land
Attack poorly planned
Completely outmanned

First to go
Last to know
First to go
Last to know

No shingles no shields
No shell holes to hide
No cover no walls
No chance to survive

Noble is my mission
The good Lord at my side
No cover no walls
No-one stays alive

Jump off the AM ramps the surf is waist high
Blitzed by the mortars that fall from the sky
Waterlogged packs that make them sink like a rock
Troops being slaughtered can't fire a shot

First to go
Last to know
First to go
Last to know

No shingles no shields
No shell holes to hide
No cover no walls
No chance to survive

Noble is my mission
The good Lord at my side
No cover no walls
No-one stays alive

Ripped from crown to pelvis
Soldiers devour the lead
Hidden Nazi snipers
Choreograph the dance of the dead

In less than half an hour
The mission has been ceased
Only six survivors
Wading in the sea...

[IV - Baker Company:]

...The sea it swallows my vomit
As I puke up over the side
Spews out like a comet
Terror replacing my pride

Crying out for my mommy
Bravado disappears
Forgetting all of my orders
What am I doing here?

Clouding smoke and dust
Screams build to a roar
Portrait of pure hell
Painted on the shore

Bobbing bodies drift
Crimson running tide
Real apocalypse
Will I be the next to die?
Be the next to die

First to go
Last to know
First to go
Last to know

No shingles no shields
No shell holes to hide
No cover no walls
No chance to survive

Noble is my mission
The good Lord at my side
No cover no walls
No-one stays alive

I scramble off the Higgins boat and trip into the crest
Each man who tries to follow me brought down by Hitler's best
It takes me an eternity to reach the beach unhit
Explosions all around my head I'm sure my skull has split
I'm sure my skull has split

I snag a piece of driftwood
And navigate my path
Through washed-up bloated bodies
In a death face mask
Heart racing like a perishing tank
I rise up from the wave
And dash across the battleground
To reach the barricade

Weak
From the seasickness and shell-shock
Crawl
To the levee of the seawall
Climb
To the concrete pillbox heave a desperate last grenade
Hide
Potato masher assaults me
Pain
Bullets puncture my body
Fear
I'm drenched in my own blood
Close my eyes and drift away
Close my eyes and drift away
Close my eyes and drift away...

[V - Requiem:]

The tide rolls in to wash my sins away
I gasp out my last breath
My soul escapes through ragged wounds
The D today means death
