    Frail of heart
    Renounce all fear

    Renounce all fears
    For you have been

    Of silence

    We ain’t going to the town
    We’re going to the city
    Gonna trek this shit around
    And make this place a heart to be a part of

    We ain’t going to the town
    We’re going to the city
    Gonna trek this shit around
    And make this place a heart to be a part of again

    We’re going
    We’re going
    We’re going
    And we’re gone
    We’re going
    We’re going
    We’re going
    And we’re gone

    So baby make it with me
    In preparation for tonight
    We’ve got so much to live
    But that’s not what makes this right
    We’ve been building up steam
    Ignited by this fight
    So do this thing with me instead of
    Tying on a tight one tonight

    We’re going
    We’re going
    We’re going
    And we’re gone
    We ain’t going to the town
    We’re going to the city
    Gonna trek this shit around
    And make this place a heart to be a part of again

    Mine. My wolf, Lucas thought.

    Really? The man’s eyebrows rose. Am I?

    Yes. Lucas found himself answering firmly. You are. My wolf.

    Brave, beautiful boy. The man in the chair was laughing, not unkindly, but amused for sure.

    Don’t you want to be mine? Lucas asked, boldly. Boldly, because, after all, what did he have to offer this amazing man?

    What would you do with me if I was…yours? The man asked without moving those sculpted lips.

    Anything. Everything. Lucas answered.

    And I will hold you hostage
    Make you part of my conspiracy
    You will be witness to carnage
    You know there’s no you without me

    I’m gonna shake you
    Till it wakes you, yeah
    From your waking dream
    Show you affecting scenes
    Of life beyond your front door
    I will exploit you
    Then conscript you
    For my narrative schemes
    Show you distressing scenes
    I’m gonna drag you from your bed onto the floor
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary

    I’m gonna dig up what you buried, yeah
    By any means necessary

    There you go again
    Finding brilliant ways to make things harder
    Are we smarter alone or in this endless Stockholm syndrome?
    Here’s what is known
    We’re gonna break this two-way mirror

    I’m gonna shake you, break you
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary (Til some)
    By any means necessary (Some day)
    By any means necessary (Whoa, some sweet day)

    We will be playing bridge on the psych ward
    With Arthur, Jane and Lou
    We will be playing bridge on the psych ward
    With Barbara, Gene and Sue
    Whoa, and if you ever start to get bored
    You know there’s no one to blame but you

    And I will hold you hostage
    Make you part of my conspiracy
    You will be witness to carnage
    You know there’s no you without me

    “Every man is entitled to his beliefs.”


    “Yes, any man has a right to his beliefs, and a duty to question them too,” Raven retorted. “If you don’t take out your beliefs for washing now and again, they’re just bad habits.”

    Slave screams he think he knows what he wants
    Slave screams thinks he has something to say
    Slave screams he hears but doesn’t want to listen
    Slave screams he’s being beat into submission

    Don’t open your eyes you won’t like what you see
    The devils of truth steal the souls of the free
    Don’t open your eyes take it from me
    I have found
    You can find
    Happiness in slavery
    Happiness in slavery

    Slave screams he spends his life learning conformity
    Slave screams he claims he has his own identity
    Slave screams he’s going to cause the system to fall
    Slave screams but he’s glad to be chained to that wall

    Don’t open your eyes you won’t like what you see
    The blind have been blessed with security
    Don’t open your eyes take it from me
    I have found
    You can find
    Happiness in slavery
    Happiness in slavery
    Happiness in slavery
    Happiness in slavery
    HappinessI don’t know what I am I don’t know where I’ve been
    Human junk just words and so much skin
    Stick my hands through the cage of this endless routine
    Just some flesh caught in this big broken machine

    Happiness in slavery
    Happiness in slavery
    Happiness in slavery (slavery)
    Happiness in slavery (slavery)
    Happiness in slavery (slavery)

    Now it falls all around me
    Did I think I could run away?
    Now it’s coming to find me
    This world that I deserve
    Now it burns across this shadow
    I lift my eyes to fire

    Under a falling sky
    Hopeless, there’s nowhere to hide
    The terror is real this time
    Under a falling sky
    I’m under, I’m under
    A falling sky

    There you are, so far away
    Did you think I was fighting you?
    I only wanted to carry you
    So far away from here
    The nightmare bleeds
    The poison seeps
    I hear you call
    You’re screaming, screaming

    Under a falling sky
    Hopeless, there’s nowhere to hide
    The terror is real this time
    Under a falling sky
    I’m under, I’m under
    A falling sky
    My fate it rains, it rains like cinders
    The cadent drums, the war it comes
    Growing thunder, terror, wonder
    Falling, falling
    It’s falling, falling

    Under a falling sky
    The terror is real this time
    It’s over now, it’s over
    NOW!
    The terror is real!I’m under, I’m under
    A falling sky

    Under a falling sky
    I’m falling, I’m falling
    The terror is real this time
    I’m falling, I’m falling
    Under a falling sky
    I’m falling, I’m falling
    I’m under.
