Monster's Lament (feat. Tim Ripper Owens)

At last my friend we meet again too long it seems

Sit down the night is young the drinks are on me

So good to finally see an old familiar face

For old time’s sake my friend let’s close this place

We’ll make up for lost time

Relive our storied past

The years just sped on by

These moments never last

The hours pass the spirits flow we’re young again

Recalling things we’ve done and places we have been

Laughing incessantly the best night in years

Last call final round closing time’s here

Let’s hit the road, night can’t end we’ll take a ride

So late no one’s on the streets, we will be just fine

Charging into the night below a spinning sky

That I can barely see I may just close my eyes

Rest well I’ll take you home

While I fight to hold the road

I keep my dead eyes peeled

As shadows disappear beneath the wheels

Never have I been more awake than that moment in time

I fear what I will see as I turn to look behind

A nightmare realized for me yet still you sleep

Panic sets in as I pull you over to where I’d been

Run, run, run, is all I can think as sirens scream

Well don’t turn around keep pretending it’s all just a dream

I look back to see them dragging you out unaware

Of what’s occurred or that I was even there

Now is my chance to go back and make things right

Own up to my evil deed and taking of life

Marching back to face the music

I suddenly stop and freeze

Turn tail and run again, a coward

It’s taken over me

Where am I? How did I get here? Who are these people surrounding me?

Why am I in pain? Why am I in chains? Somebody please anew me
