Audemus (Playlist: Act 4)

"See the sky come into focus,
Everything hurts.
Lying at the bottom of the levy,
The smell of blood and dirt.

The train tracks are so quiet,
Yet there's ringing in my ears.
Every signal in my spine,
Seared with crippling fear.

Distress across the skies,
Tension in the air.
All my thoughts are so clouded,
Yet I'm strangely aware,

Of a secret groaning.
Some eternal moaning-
Something is after me,
And I feel it,
Everywhere.

There's blood on the tracks,
And I can't recall,
My own name,
Or where I am at all.

There's no one around,
I'm all alone.
The air is electric-
Dark clouds above.

But I know,
I feel inside,
The need to run,
To the other side.

But run-from what?
I think I know;
The ground below,
The ground below!

It wants me back,
I feel it reaching.
Gravity's a thirst,
And I stand here bleeding!

When in the distance,
I see a door,
Across the field,
Impossibly far.

What lies beyond,
Who can tell?
Could be Heaven before me,
But below me is Hell!

Reaching higher,
For me its desire,
Urgency crying,
And my nerves are on fire!

Today is the day that your life is required.
And here in these plains lies the fight-
The fight of your after-life.

The field of death,
Yet I see no reaper.
Steps become heavy,
I'm sinking deeper!

Or is the ground,
Coming up to me?
Weary of providing,
And needing to feed.

Land-locked beast,
Of Earthen deep,
Tall-grass anemone,
Feeling for prey.

Phantom master,
Pulling puppet strings-
They feel like chains,
They feel like chains!

The ghostly chains,
Of unearthly fame,
Grasping for more,
Hoping to claim,

The life from me,
What's left of me.
And Hell is lit,
With jealousy!

Yet Heaven's door,
Lies before,
With waters rushing,
On some Heavenly shore,

Ready to wash me clean.
Though I can offer,
No worthy thing.

Today is the day that your life is required.
And here in these plains lies the fight-
The fight of your after-life.

Longing to behold,
What lies beyond,
That mysterious threshold-

Running,
Feels like crawling-
From dreams to nightmares,
The darkness is calling.

Today is the day that your life is required.
And here in these plains lies the fight-
The fight of your after-life."

"[Verse 1: Albert Wily]
Tonight the streets are red
The lights are blue and blinding
No sign of the "Good Doctor,"
But the siren's wail and whining
Tell us he'll be found

[Bridge]
I can almost hear the hounds...

[Verse 2: Albert Wily & Reporters]
What kind of man builds a machine to kill a girl?
No he did not use his hands
Like a smart man, he used a tool
But just the same

How can you question who's to blame?
What was her name?
Doesn't matter, now listen-
"The Good Doctor" has to pay!

[Verse 3]
When I say he was a monster
When I set fire to his name
It does not matter where you hear it from
Whether truth or lies, it gets said all the same

[Bridge 2]
Whatever's on the table plays!

[Verse 4]
There is a flame that I've been fanning
There is a fire waiting to catch
There is a hell that has been building
From the moment we first met

If there ever was a time
If there ever was a chance
To undo the things I've done
And wash these bloodstains from my hands

It has passed and been forgotten
These are the paths that we must take
Cause you and I, Tom, we are men
And we can bend and we can break

If you think that you can run
If you think that you can stand
Well you forget who turned this city on
You forget who plugged this city in!

They'll not switch it off again

One by one they're tuning in

[Instrumental]"

Lyrics.

"[Verse 1]
I stumbled out into the cold below a thoughtless moon
I saw the phantoms of my friends, but they were gone too soon
Then from the trees, my enemies began to shout and shriek
Until a silence overwhelmed them, and I began to speak

[Chorus]
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound
They've come before, and many more will try to strike me down
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar
And if you make it out alive, the devil will be waiting by your door

[Verse 2]
I met a stranger on my way to here from god-knows-where
He won my lover in a dirty game of solitaire
He stole my crown and placed it crookedly upon his head
He turned around, I took him down, and this is what I said

[Chorus]
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound
They’ve come before, and many more will try to strike me down
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar
And if you make it out alive, the devil will be waiting by your door

[Bridge]
You'll sacrifice the truth to justify your sins
But I don't need an excuse to let the darkness in
You’ll sacrifice the truth to justify your sins
But I don't need an excuse to let the darkness in

[Chorus]
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound
They've come before, and many more will try to strike me down
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar
And if you make it out alive, the devil will be waiting by your door

Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound
They've come before, and many more will try to strike me down
Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar
And if you make it out alive, the devil will be waiting by your door"

Lyrics.

"[Verse 1]
The last man standing in our sinister charade
Beneath the crumbling arches of our counterfeit arcade
He nobly knelt before us, he sang our savior's chorus
We left him spinning bloody plates upon his broken blade, but

[Chorus]
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
And we'll all be the weak and the weary sometime

[Verse 2]
One woman whistling a wounded lullaby
And preaching pain to every unsuspecting passerby
We knew her well before this, she promised portraits of us
We cut her throat while she was waiting for the paint to dry, but

[Chorus]
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime

[Bridge]
And in the distance we’ll hear melancholy moans
The long forgotten have a habit for collecting loans
But

[Chorus]
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime

[Modified Chorus]
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime"

Lyrics.

"[Verse 1]
Lonely shadows following me
Lonely ghosts come calling
Lonely voices talking to me
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone

[Pre-Chorus]
And my mother told me son let it be
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to a sweet melody
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone

[Chorus]
Lord gimme that fire
Lord gimme that fire
Lord gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn

[Verse 2]
Oh, a thousand faces staring at me
Thousand times I've fallen
Thousand voices dead at my feet
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone

[Pre-Chorus]
And my mother told me son let it be
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to a sweet melody
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone

[Chorus]
Lord gimme that fire
Lord gimme that fire
Lord gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn

[Bridge]
Ghosts and devils come calling
Calling my name out, lost in the fire
Sweet virgin blood is calling
Calling my name out, lost in the fire

[Chorus]
Lord gimme that fire
Lord gimme that fire
Lord gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn
Lord gimme that fire
Lord gimme that fire
Lord gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn"

"[Verse 1]
You've gone total primitive
Instinct, just the will to live
Never been there, never been there
But I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
They're so intellectual
Deep thought, psychosexual
Got what they want, got what they want
And they know, they know, they know

[Chorus]
I can see it in their eyes
They're coming for you, honey
Painted faces, sharpened knives
Do you think it's funny?
If you dress it up, you'll have to break it in
But you never look better then when you wear your animal skin

[Verse 2]
I know where you're vulnerable
Wild things can't get comfortable
Quiver and shake, quiver and shake
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
You were being kicked about
Backed up, teeth and claws are out
Covered in blood, covered in blood
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow

[Chorus]
I can see it in their eyes
They're coming for you, honey
Painted faces, sharpened knives
Do you think it's funny?
If you dress it up, you'll have to break it in
But you never look better than when you wear your animal skin
Animal skin, animal skin, animal skin
Animal skin, animal skin, animal skin

[Bridge]
They say you're the predator
Somehow killed the messenger
Do it again, do it again
I know, I know, I know

[Chorus]
I can see it in their eyes
They're coming for you, honey
Painted faces, sharpened knives
Do you think it's funny?
If you dress it up, you'll have to break it in
But you never look better then when you wear your animal
You never look better then when you wear your animal
You never look better then when you wear your animal skin"

Lyrics.

"[Verse 1]
Love me cancerously
Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea
High-maintenance means you're a gluttonous queen
Narcissistic and mean
Kill me romantically
Fill my soul with vomit then ask me for a piece of gum
Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum
You're awful, I love you

[Chorus]
She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
Must be the sign on my head, it says:
"Oh, love me dead!" Love me dead!

[Verse 2]
You're a faith healer on TV
You're an office park without any trees:
Corporate and cold, gushing for gold, leave me alone
You suck so passionately
You're a parasitic psycho, filthy creature finger-banging my heart
You call me up drunk, does the fun ever start?
You're hideous and sexy

[Chorus]
She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
Must be the sign on my head, it says:
"Oh, love me dead!" Love me dead!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Love me cancerously
{Whistling}
Rraat-dot-da-da-da-da! Rraat-dot-da-d-da-da!
How's your new boy? Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of the beast
You're born of a jackal, you're beautiful!

[Chorus]
She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften, her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
What 'bout the sign on my head? It says:
"Oooh, love me dead!" Love me dead!

[Outro]
Love me dead! (Rraat-dot-da-da-da-da)
Love me deead! Ooooh!Lo-ove mee-ee dead!"

Lyrics.

"Put one foot in front of the other, and we'll be fine
We're two cruel vultures of a feather, and this is our time
We were raised in the ruins of wasted lives in these wasteland times
But I never wasted mine (mine)

While we're young and in love and just dumb enough to think we can make it alone
We weren't taught to be tough kids, but I guess that's just the way it goes
Even though I know that we don't have much time, we might make it if we try
Raise your glass to the tough kids that didn't make it in the dust bowl

I don't trust anyone more than I trust me and mine
It's a dog eat dog world, but this pack runs till the end of the line
We were forged in the furnace of dark days in the cruelest ways
But our blood-bound burden don't break (break)

While we're young and in love and just dumb enough to think we can make it alone
We weren't taught to be tough kids, but I guess that's just the way it goes
Even though I know that we don't have much time, we might make it if we try
Raise your glass to the tough kids that didn't make it in the dust bowl

Oh the roads we should have taken, all the paths we should have passed
If you start to break, try to shake it until we make it through the overpass

The clock's ticking and we can't miss it
Pushed pass the point of no return
We're gonna fake it until we make it
No, we're gonna make it, or die trying

The clock's ticking and we can't miss it
Pushed pass the point of no return
We're gonna fake it until we make it
No, we're gonna make it, or die trying
We're gonna make it, or die trying
Or die trying
Or die trying

While we're young and in love and just dumb enough to think we can make it alone
We weren't taught to be tough kids, but I guess that's just the way it goes
Even though I know that we don't have much time, we might make it if we try
Raise your glass to the tough kids that didn't make it in the dust bowl"

Lyrics.

"[Part I]

[Verse 1]
I roam these halls, search the night
In hopes that I may see
A remnant trace, a glimpse of you
I stare into the deep
Saying, "I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know my love can be"
The deep stares back, speaks to me
"I know my love can be the killing kind"

[Pre-Chorus]
What if I was wrong by never moving on?
I didn't realize who's gone
The ghost in me was true but you were haunted too just
Didn't see it all along
Nevermore to leave here, nevermore to leave here
You should never be here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know my love can be the killing kind

[Chorus]
Here and now, if this is it
Can't get out from under it
Nevermore to leave here, nevermore to leave here
My love is the killing kind
There and then, I should have known
It was me all along
Nevermore to leave here, nevermore to leave here
My love is the killing kind
My love is the killing kind
Nevermore to leave here, nevermore to leave here

[Verse 2]
Try and try to let you go
And I'll just disappear
Go down below where children go
And we all float down here
Singing, "I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know my love can be"
It gazes back and sings to me
"I know my love can be the killing kind"

[Pre-Chorus]
What if I was wrong by never moving on?
I didn't realize who's gone
The ghost in me was true but you've been haunted too just
Didn't see it all along
Nevermore to leave here, nevermore to leave here
You should never be here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know my love can be the killing kind

[Chorus]
Here and now, if this is it
Can't get out from under it
Nevermore to leave here, nevermore to leave here
My love is the killing kind
There and then, I should have known
It was me all along
Nevermore to leave here, nevermore to leave here
My love is the killing kind
Oh
My love is the killing kind
Nevermore to leave here, nevermore to leave here

[Part II]

He-y!
Yeah!
Stirs of whispers trail and linger
You still haunt the corner of my heart
Stirs of whispers trail and linger
You still haunt the corners of my heart

Sing it for me baby, singing me to sleep
Singing, "Don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me"
One for the memory, two for the pain
Singing, "Don't love the bottle" with the deeper disdain
Sing it for me baby, singing me to sleep
Singing, "Don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me"
One for the memory, two for the pain
Singing, "Don't love the bottle" with the deeper disdain
Sing it for me baby, singing me to sleep
Singing, "Don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me"
One for the memory, two for the pain
Singing, "Don't love the bottle" with the deeper disdain
Sing it for me baby, singing me to sleep
Singing, "Don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me"
One for the memory, and hear the melody

I think of you
I dream of you
Evermore (Evermore)

[Part III]

Hey, do you hear me, do you hear me now?
On a midnight dreary
Stay, stay near me
Stay near me now

Oh yeah (Do you hear me?)
Don't you hear me?
Don't you hear me? (Do you hear me now?)
If madness overtakes us both
Then nobody would be alone
The ghost of us can linger here
Forever not to disappear
Stay
Stay near
Oh, stay
We could be together here
Forever we're
Together bound in madness

I, oh
Here and now
If this is it
Why don't we just savor it?
Just hush
Eleonora
(Eleonora)
Stay"

Lyrics.

"[Intro]
An cuimhin leat an grá
Crá croí an ghrá
Níl anois ach ceol na h-oíche
Táim sioraí i ngrá
Leannáin le smál
Leannáin le smál
Lig leis agus beidh leat
Lig leis agus beidh grá

[Chorus]
Can you tell from the look in our eyes? (We're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die (We're going nowhere)
Can you tell from the look in our eyes? (We're going nowhere)
We live our livеs like we're rеady to die (We're going nowhere)

[Verse 1]
I thought I'd buried you and covered the tracks
You'll have to take this with your cold dead hands
I thought I'd buried you, what's dead can never die
I thought I'd cut you loose, severed the feeling
I slipped through the cracks and you caved in my ceiling
I thought I'd buried you, what's dead can never die

[Chorus]
Can you tell from the look in our eyes? (We're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die (We're going nowhere)
You can run, but you'll never escape (Over and over again)
Will we ever see the end? (We're going nowhere)

[Verse 2]
This is sempiternal
Will we ever see the end?
This is sempiternal
Over and over, again and again
Rise from the dead, you say
Secrets don't sleep till they're took to the grave
Signal the sirens rally the troops
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the moment of truth

[Chorus]
Can you tell from the look in our eyes? (We're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die (We're going nowhere)
You can run, but you'll never escape (Over and over again)
Will we ever see the end? (We're going nowhere)
Can you tell from the look in our eyes? (We're going nowhere)
We live our lives like we're ready to die (We're going nowhere)
You can run, but you'll never escape (Over and over again)
Will we ever see the end? (We're going nowhere)

[Outro]
This is sempiternal
Will we ever see the end?
This is sempiternal
Over and over, again and again"
