Chariot 03:04
I never thought the sweetest sin could be my saving grace I never thought I’d love again the queen of red light lane I never thought one tiny spark could set my world ablaze But lovers say there’s hell to pay when fire feeds a flame Oh Chariot come on and fix my broken wings Oh Chariot be the song a blackbird sings Oh Chariot oh carry us Oh my Chariot carry us away She never thought a night alone beneath the stained glass glow Could light a love this flightless dove the kind she’d never know She always thought that fate was fought in battle evermore aw honey But lovers say there’s hell to pay all’s fair in love and war Oh Chariot come on and fix my broken wings Oh Chariot be the song a blackbird sings Oh Chariot oh carry us Oh my Chariot carry us away And I’m waiting on my Chariot to come Oh my chariot carry us My Chariot come on and fix my broken wings Oh my Chariot be the song a blackbird sings Oh Chariot come on and fix my broken wings Oh Chariot be the song a blackbird sings Oh Chariot oh carry us Oh my Chariot carry us away

Whisper 04:58
Come in sit down sweet angel leave me all your tears Tell me all of your troubles the weight of your short years Love is only a river drowning all of your cheer Sell me all of your laughter and I will take some of your fear His favorite days were the mornings she came with confessions of cardinal sin A beast in the business of selling forgiveness dead eyes on a treacherous grin And he laps up the vice like a wolf in the night he’s the left hand of God on the stage And with one hand he offers salvation to lovers the other it taketh away So give me your fire give me your fear give me your faith when love gives you tears Give me your heart give me your fate give me your hand when love gives you hate Give me your prayers up on your feet and I’ll give you a show it helps fill the seats So give me your sins give me your lies but whisper your love And I’ll whisper mine His favorite line was the one formed outside where they trade in confessions for lies A beast in the business of selling forgiveness and buying salvation with wine And he cries out to God how can you claim them all when I know that they are all mine So give me your fire give me your fear give me your faith when love gives you tears Give me your heart give me your fate give me your hand when love gives you hate Give me your prayers up on your feet and I’ll give you a show it helps fill the seats So give me your sins give me your lies but whisper your love And I’ll whisper mine Come in sit down sweet angel and I will take some of your fear…

Crazy 03:16
She had problems with my love connections So she bought me bullets and she made corrections She had problems with their cruel derisions So she bought a scalpel and she made incisions Honey… I’d say crazy doll but you’ve got something different I’d say complicated but that’s your kind of rhythm I’d say lost and you’d say love But you’re crazy not to see that you’re crazy just like me She had problems with the gospel liars So she bought some fuel and then she started fires She had problems feeling awful sleepless So she bought a shovel and she buried secrets Honey… I’d say crazy doll but you’ve got something different I’d say complicated but that’s your kind of rhythm I’d say lost and you’d say love But you’re crazy not to see that you’re crazy just like me…

Witch 03:54
Counting all my sins on the way to the church I’ve got your taste on my lips and a demon in my heart Mercy Mother Mary please deliver to her a little faith and a kiss and assurance till this starts They’re chasing the sweet scent on your clothes Can’t stop the shaking in my hands And if I can find you angel Heaven only knows Stay where you are I’m taking you away Far beyond the flames Stay where you are I’m finding us a way Far beyond the flames Stay where you are Ashes in the streets yeah I’m aware of the stakes I smell the burning of the innocent the trial of their souls Witch she’s a witch cry the wolves and the snakes They tie the cursed to their beds and they leave them for the crows They’re carving your name into the post Can’t stop the shaking in my hands And if I can save you angel Heaven only knows Stay where you are I’m taking you away Far beyond the flames Stay where you are I’m finding us a way Far beyond the flames Stay where you are Stay where you are...

Believe 03:59
I I found myself a way I found myself a light a bright and brilliant flame I I found myself a song No matter what this road my soul stays strong And I will fight through rebel days and darkest nights And I will soldier through the rain And as long as I still stand And as long as I still breathe I’ll keep on strong I’ll carry on Tonight we all believe I I found myself the grace To fight the fears I face no matter come what may And I will find through rebel days and darkest nights That I can soldier through the rain And as long as I still stand And as long as I still breathe I’ll keep on strong I’ll carry on Tonight we all believe And as long as I still stand And as long as I still breathe I’ll keep on strong I’ll carry on Tonight we all believe...
