I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh, lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town
And all my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
In the devil town
I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh, lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town

I have been to Abilene
The spirit world rising
I have seen in Abilene
The Devil has Texas
Purple robes they shall wear
The spirit world rising
The number on their forehead and hands
The Devil has Texas
From the sky the number seven
The Devil defeated
In the sky
The New Jerusalem
I have been to Abilene
The spirit world rising
I have seen in Abilene
The Devil has Texas
The Spirit World Rising
The Devil has Texas
The Spirit World Rising
The Devil has Texas
The Spirit World Rising
The Devil has Texas
The Spirit World Rising
The Devil has Texas

Oh my Lord
I am so bored
Held the hand
Of Satan
Oh Laura
What has happened to you?
Held the hand
Of the devil
I was on MTV
Everybody was lookin' at me
Held the hand
Of the devil

Lord Give Me Hope
06:24
|

|
Lord, give me hope
For the road I walk upon
The road, it is long
And I fear
Lord, give me strength
For my burden is great
And the road it is long
And I'm afraid
Lord, hear my prayer
For I've fallen by the way
I know that I was wrong
And I'm scared
Lord, make me whole
Won't you welcome me back again?
For my soul is weary
And I fear
Lord, see me through
Lead me with your eternal hand
Let me see the light
And to understand
Lord, show me the way
Please tell me what to do
For I've fallen by the way
And I fear
I know you are the one
The one and only door
Take my broken heart
Make me whole again
Lord please forgive
For I have sinned
Yes, I have sinned
And I fear
Lord, show me the day
When everything will be okay
For my life is short
And I'm afraid
Christ, guide me now
To do what is right
Show me the truth
And to win the fight
For I have sinned
And I live like a fool
I followed my foolish dreams
Thought that I was cool
Lord, hear my plea
Won't you have me back again?
I know that you're there
And you are a friend
So, Lord give me hope
For the road I walk upon
The road it is long
And I fear

Your picture is still
On my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright
Bright, as ever
The red is strong, the blue is pure
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time
Your picture is still
On my wall, on my wall
I think about you
Often, often
I won't forget all the things we did
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time
It's funny, but it's true
And it's true, but it's not funny
Time comes and goes, but all the while
I still think of you
Some things last a long time
Your picture is still
On my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright
Bright, as ever
The things we did, I can't forget
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime

Tears Stupid Tears
03:27
|

Time is a matter of fact
And it's gone and it'll never come back
And mine, it's wasted all the time
Tears, stupid tears, bring me down
I got lucky by coincidence
But I got my feelings bent
And my head looking at the ground
Tears, stupid tears, bring me down
How could you know that's where the wind blows?
Out to the wind, that's where my love goes
And it brings me down
Tie my brain into a knot
Those tears, stupid tears, bring me down
I know that I have a friend
He stays with me all day long
He knows and I walk in his shell
I was born in the body and right from the start
Those tears, stupid tears, been tearing us apart
How could I know that's where the wind blows
Out to the wind that's where my love goes
And it brings me down
Tie my brain into a knot
Those tears, stupid tears, bring me down

Don't play cards with Satan
He'll deal you an awful hand
Don't play cards with Satan
He'll deal you an awful hand
Did I ever stop and tell you I am a desperate man?
I thought I saw a bluebird sitting on a post
I thought I saw a bluebird sitting on a post
Shiver down my spine
I thought it was the Holy Ghost
I heard the word before
And I knew that it was good
I heard the word before
And I knew that it was good
Somebody oughta do like the Good Book should
I heard the voice of SATAN crying in the woods
I heard the voice of SATAN crying in the woods
I saw my own heart laying black with blood
Don't play cards with Satan
He'll deal you an awful hand
Don't play cards with Satan
He'll deal you an awful hand
Please believe me
Did I ever stop and tell you I am a desperate man?
A desperate man
Take it
SATAN

True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don’t be sad, I know you will
But don’t give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
‘Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light, the light
Don’t be sad, I know you will
But don’t give up until
True love will find you in the end

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there
Then I suddenly see you
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life?
Got to get you into my life
You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again, for I had told you
You were meant to be near me
And I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do? What can I be?
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true, I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Then I suddenly see you
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life?
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

Careless Soul
02:22

|
Careless soul, oh, heed the warning
For your life will soon be gone
Oh, how sad to face the judgment
Unprepared to meet your God
Careless soul, why will you linger?
Wandering from the throne of God
And your life is spent in folly
Oh, prepare to meet your God
Careless soul, oh, heed the warning
For your life will soon be gone
Oh, how sad to face the judgment
Unprepared to meet your God
Hear you not the earnest pleadings
Of your friends that wish you well?
And perhaps before tomorrow
You’ll be called to meet your God
Careless soul, oh, heed the warning
For your life will soon be gone
Oh, how sad to face the judgment
Unprepared to meet your God

Softly And Tenderly
04:49
|

|
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals he's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Why should we tary when Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies
Mercies for you and for me?
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming
Coming for you and for me
O for the wonderful love he has promised
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me
O for the wonderful love he has promised
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me
