Below the Caverns
I wait so softly
My presence always flies
Forever youthful
They thought they stopped me
I'm plotting their demise
Little one, (I am so scared)
Feel the sun (I'll just stay here)
Grandson (I so love to see them bleed, see them cry)
Precious one, (All you long for)
Feel the sun (I will make yours)
Grandson (I can't wait, we'll make them bleed, make them die)
Die!!!
Well she's a beauty
I'll make her need you
Stop caring so loud!
Feel the anger
You're just like me
Making me so proud!
Little one, (I am so scared)
Feel the sun (I'll just stay here)
Grandson (I so love to see them bleed, see them cry)
Precious one, (All you long for)
Feel the sun (I will make yours)
Grandson (I can't wait, we'll make them bleed, make them die)
Die!!!
You will never lose...
Little one, (I am so scared)
Feel the sun (I'll just stay here)
Grandson (I so love to see them bleed, see them cry)
Precious one, (All you long for)
Feel the sun (I will make yours)
Grandson (I can't wait, we'll make them bleed, make them die)
Die!!!

Dear Hero

If you're gonna leave,
Then do so already
And if you ever come back
Don't be the same man you were when you left
And here comes all of the life you've never had
And here comes all of the love you've never said
Let your heart burn up
But don't let it get to your head,
Dear hero
So go get all you want
But you'll find just what you need
I won't give you all you want
That would be too unfair
Of me
So here comes all of the life you've never had
And here comes all of the love you've never said
Let your heart burn up
But don't let it get to your head,
Dear hero
Below the Caverns,
I wait so softly...
Look back no more, we're chasing the sacred
Not another late hit, live it out or fake it
Will you make it? Not by yourself there, big shot
Gonna need another soul by your side when things get hot
And she's got it, everything you've ever wanted
But you need it and you knew it when the fight started
Misfits mixin' it on the trees of dead
Picture's worth a thousand words, but now it's ripped to shreds
Cousin, caught in the crossfire, everything is dire when the devil is a liar
And you're starting to perspire when the altitude's higher
But her smile? That'll leave you fine for a while
Is anyone a sinner when they can't recall the sin?
Is anyone a winner when the victory's within?
You may think you're strong, but it's all pretentious
So you know it's goin' down, Conscious Conscientious
And here comes all of the life you've never had
And here comes all of the love you've never said
And here comes all of the life you've never had
And here comes all of the love you've never said
Let your heart burn up
But don't let it get to your head
Let your heart burn up
But don't let it get to your head,
Dear hero

And she swirls

The first one was a naïve masterpiece
She was such a little tease
To the young sailor boys
The sailor life was all she needed
Party, drink, and don't get heated
Crush the hearts of all the little boys that think they want you
I tried, you better believe it
I tried to get to her
I tried, and it's what she wanted
I risked myself for her
I tried, you better believe it
I tried to get to her
I tried, at the cost of my right hand
So I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't need this
The next one was a naïve masterpiece
Never had to utter "please?"
An adventurer at heart and over-analyst at mind
When the pyro came to hug her
Oh, you bet they loved each other
'Cuz where he put his hands (on her) were places I would never put mine
I tried, you better believe it
I tried to get to her
I tried, and it's what she wanted
I risked myself for her
I tried, you better believe it
I tried to get to her
I tried, at the cost of my left lung
So I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care,
I don't need this
You think I'd learn...
The third one is a broken masterpiece
Eyes that make your heart just cease
(In a way both good and bad)
Thought that if I played my cards just right
Since I HAVE GOD ON MY SIDE!
...Why should I even try?
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I DON'T CARE! I DON'T CARE! I DON'T CARE!! I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE!
I don't need this

You said you'd hang out with me
But you're meeting her beneath the tree
I'll cover for you this time
I'll cover for you
Every time
You said you'd hang out with me (again)
But you're making out behind the tree (again)
I bet all you did was tell her she is so magnificent
I bet all she did was smile and you know she bought into it
I hope you learn this time
I really hope you do, you see this time
What you're doing to your mind
I hope you learn this time
I really hope you see, you realize
What you're doing to her mind
There's something different about this one
She soothes you like the warm sun
And I can tell that this time you are telling the truth
'Cuz I can tell that this time there is something different about you
I hope you learn this time
I really hope you do
You see this time
What you're doing to your mind
I hope you learn this time
I really hope you see, you realize
What you're doing to her mind
One day you'll see her again
When you're at last a new man
But when you reach for her skies
You'll find it's too late to fly
I hope you learn this time
I really hope you do
You see this time
What you're doing to your mind
I hope you learn this time
I really hope you see, you realize
What you're doing to her mind

Break it off...
Break it off...
You've been following that monster way too long
Don't you think it's time again?
You can hold her hand, you can stroke her hair
Pretty soon, she'll bite your head clean off
Take it off...
Shake it off...
I've been tracing your steps for way too long
Can't you tell? You left footprints
You can feel her breath, you can hold her closer
Won't be long 'till she bites your head clean off
Do I have to die for you again? (Won't you learn your lesson?)
I will always die for you again (Forever, I love you)
Break it off... (Break it off...)
Take it off... (Shake it off...)
Break it off... (Break it off...)
Take it off... (Shake it...)
Do I have to die for you again? (Won't you learn your lesson?)
I will always die for you again (Forever, I love you)
Do I have to die for you again? (Won't you learn your lesson?)
I will always die for you again (Forever, I love you)
Oh, it'll be so painful
Your hands, your feet, your flesh and bones
No, it'll be too painful!
My hands! My feet! My flesh and bones!
Oh, I will take the pain for
Your hands, your feet, your flesh and bones
Oh!!! This is oh, so painful!
My hands! My feet! My flesh and bones!!
Your soul
You're so worth saving.

And she swirls...
And she swirls...
And she swirls

And she swirls

And she swirls
Through his mind
And she swirls
Through my mind

It's not that simple
To tell you just how I feel
This life would be easier
If I could just tell it was real
And the wind is fluttering across the caves, and the river waves,
They signal for the end of the day, but it's only dawn
(This river raft we're on will be gone)
And fairies sparkle out from our brains, leaving quite a stain,
But we're the only ones to blame when the game is lost
So take your pick
'Cuz we're gonna die, either way
Our hearts don't bow
Did you really think I'd leave you now?
If they think you're their prey
I'll crush 'em with my ricochet
This tattered raft is charred
But this stupid thing got us this far
This is a family of friends
Time won't bend
It's already tried, send,
A message we tend to get
Sick of sin and lend love, some words to mend
We don't pretend; we know where we end
Eatin' pasta on the beach
See, we are random
Reach for something new, and teach
Gifts are planting seeds
Bring together our needs,
Your passion, my struggle freed
The right to control the way we bleed
So take your pick
'Cuz we're gonna live, either way
Our hearts don't bow
Did you really think I'd leave you now?
So take your pick
'Cuz we're gonna live, either way
Our hearts don't bow
Did you really think I'd leave you now?
Hey there,
Bet you're planning on hurting my friend, yeah
Well, whoa, there
'Cuz see, I have a problem with that, yeah
I'll take your demon life, yeah
I'll drown it in your lies, yeah
Don't show your face again, yeah!
And DON'T MESS WITH MY FRIENDS!!! PUNK!!!
So take your pick
'Cuz we're gonna live, either way
Our hearts don't bow
Did you really think I'd leave you now?
So take your pick
'Cuz we're gonna live, either way
Our hearts don't bow
Did you really think I'd leave you now?
I'll never leave you now!
I'll never leave you now
And the wind is fluttering across the caves, and the river waves,
They signal for the end of the day, but it's only dawn
