We Come From the Night

by Brian N.

Verse I Lock up your children Keep innocence hidden We are the danger that you have learned to fear Amassing our power As destiny towers Born from the shadows, we are conceived Pre-Chorus No signs, no warning No time to prepare Don't fear the storm that's coming Walk the darkness that we share Chorus We come from the night We breathe in the dark We stand waiting, infiltrating A crooked finger beckoning We come from the night Verse II Our gears are all grinding We're hell-bent, we're winding Down a darkened highway Your pain is our road We're tearing we're thrashing With no fear of crashing We're loose within the shadows we bring Pre-Chorus Do you believe in a power never seen Don't rush to fear us Take a moment, savor the pain Chorus Instrumental Pre-Chorus No signs, no warning No time to prepare Don't fear the storm that's coming Grip the darkness if you dare Chorus

Verse I Some say we're dangerous Reckless and careless Taking for granted life's fragility I say you only live once Why get all caught up The open road is beckoning Pre-Chorus Flying down that twistin' road Blind to caution Unalarmed by warning signs Chorus Live fast, give it everything you got Live strong in a moment it could en So die with no regrets and send your caution to the wind throw caution to the wind throw caution to the wind Verse II I live by taking my chances Gamblin' blindly Calling bluffs on fate's every dare You know you only die stronger Livin' for somethin' Pounding on the cracking ice Pre-Chorus Ooh.... we hit a nerve! Guitar Solo Chorus

Intro I remember the night we heard the news Out of nowhere, our lives were changed forever Nothing that we could do Call it fate, a mystery far, far beyond us all Verse I Watching out through broken windows I shout above the rain... Why, I ask, have you left me here? Drowning in this pain Lost within the piercing midnight air Screaming out “Are you listening” There was no response , from the still of night Not a word returned but then... Chorus The sky, it blackened steadily The air it turned so cold and thin On the night a feeling of despair The rains they came a pourin' down Like the tears of a thousand angels Verse II God have you heard these cries Did it move you to a core I thought you never had This can't be taken back At least I know that you heard me Somehow you've heard my call because... Chorus The sky, it blackened steadily The air it turned so cold and thin On the night a feeling of despair The rains they came a pourin' down Like the tears of a thousand angels Guitar Solo Bridge I won't say it's not coincidence, A universal possibility But that night I know, Something bound was freed when.... Chorus

Head First 03:20
Verse I The door is bolted, I'm hiding away Surging with fear, voices in the hall Diving into a meal on ice Another night I'm sure I won't recall Suddenly I'm trembling Doomed to take this trip alone Signed, sealed, and damned the life I'm in Unable, I just can't get control Pre-Chorus I'd beg for you to save me But you'd take it all from me Chorus I've fallen, fallen In a pit of despair I'm fallin', callin' Does anybody care? Head first, I'm divin' “Bottoms up” I'm cryin' I'm fallin', fallin', falling Verse II I can't place the time or age This curse descended upon my life Fucked by those who came before Now I feel the thorn within my side Pre-chorus Chorus Guitar Solo Verse III Seeing the hurt that I'm passing around Wouldn't you think that'd be enough Still cannot see all the pain that I bring More important I get warm and numb Pre-chorus I'd say I'd give it up But like the others you've given up on me Chorus

The Visitor 05:32
Verse I Sleeping in her bed Covered to her head Assaulted in the darkness, Something evil goes in for the kill Pre-Chorus Now she thrashing, screaming, panting Slammed onto her pillow, eyes rolled back into her head Chorus What could this be, what do I see? Demonic eyes starin' back at me Devil grinning from within The visitor has taken this little girl we once knew Verse II A superhuman strength A stench so foul and rank Reciting lines in foreign tongues We must disregard the Liar's word Chorus What could this be, what do I see? Demonic eyes starin' back at me Devil grinning from within The visitor has taken this little girl we once knew Instrumental Pre-Chorus Now she thrashing, screaming, panting Slammed onto her pillow, eyes rolled back into her head Chorus

Verse I Parading on the nighttime scene Tempting maidens, so naïve Unaware that where they go The dangers come alive Attracting eyes, these perfumed nymphs Don't know the invites they give off Pre-Chorus You've stayed awake, up far too late Now let us walk you to the dawn Chorus Don't gamble with the night Don't wander from the light That darkened stranger brings a danger That you will not survive Don't gamble with the night Verse II You think in number safety rests But the more we see the friendlier we get It will only take a moment, then We'll join the crowd again And here beneath a fading light You make a final sacrifice You missed all the signs and words of caution Now your screams they will not hear! Guitar Solo Pre-Chorus You've stayed awake, up far too late Now we will take you to the dawn ...into the fire you've led yourself... Chorus Repeat Chorus
8.
Verse I Every time you invite I'm there, without a fight But then once it's over With a brush of your shoulder Alone I sit the rest of the night Chorus I burn how I yearn With nothing in return I feel you lying next to me Your love is double edged It cuts me all to shreds There's a coldness where a warmth should be Verse II A secret in public Alone when I'm with you Reminded of what love could be Then back in my bed You seem to hold me But I really feel you pulling away Chorus I burn how I yearn With nothing in return I feel you lying next to me Your love is double edged It cuts me all to shreds There's a coldness where a warmth should be Guitar Solo Chorus Chorus I burn how I yearn With nothing in return Foolish, I'm your company Your love is double edged It cuts me all to shreds I've lost my love 'midst this misery

Verse I We came, we saw, we conquered On it's flesh we feasted and We yearn for another taste We cannot get enough yea... Chorus Metal....metal.... We're hungry for more Metal...metal.. We're hungry for more We're still inside the cracking walls Behind the creaking of the door Metal....metal... We're hungry for more Verse II With just one bite we've built a need For debauchery and sin We never will get our fill Into our veins it pumps Chorus Metal....metal.... We're hungry for more Metal...metal.. We're hungry for more We're still inside the cracking walls Behind the creaking of the door Metal....metal... We're hungry for more Bridge Our drug, our fix, our mighty kick Above it all you'll see us Raise our fist and call it out Hear us shout the battle cry! Guitar Solo Chorus
