1. The Quiet Earth
2. Meia Noite
3. Deadbeat At Dawn
1. The Quiet Earth
Where has everybody gone
Here I am, on my own
Lost in this barren land
I used to call my home
Last night I killed myself with a gun
Took my own life, shunned by all
Never thought I'd open my eyes again
Even in death I've missed the call
One last time
Never thought I'd open my eyes again
And the world ended with a bang
Silence everywhere
No signs of human life
Welcome to the quiet earth
Silence everywhere
Is no one else breathing the air
Welcome to my quiet earth
Now, where on earth am I
A chill crawls up my spine
Does it mean I'm still alive
Days went by with no end in sight
As I lay there bathed in eternal sunlight
Then I awoke from my eerie daze
And started walking God knows where
Everything seemed frozen in time
Bodies all around
Death has struck the land
Gave birth to the quiet earth
How am I still alive
What happened when I died
Tell me Lord... the reason why
2. Meia Noite
Come to me, children of mine
Follow me, into the night
I am the midnight reaper
Arisen from the grave
Undisputed lord of hell
The dead I command
I am the bringer of doom
Mankind under my rule
The world is my battlefield
I'm the one who treads the land
Innocence burns like moths on the flame
The words I speak are the new gospel
Come midnight, I will take your soul
So don't you dare tell me what can be done
I know damn well no one can bring me down
Into my arms, in a deathlike trance
Shreds of faith dispersed in a final embrace
Hear me, fear me
Curse my name across the land
You scream in pain, it's all in vain
Nothing will ever change
No time to grieve, I take my leave
Far away from this mortal plane
The dreadful hour has come to pass
My kingdom come, the time is now
Your lord will be my witness
When I bleed his son to death
The one below shivers
When I'm done, hell will freeze over
Hear me, fear me
Curse my name across the land
You scream in pain, it's all in vain
Nothing will ever change
No time to grieve, I take my leave
Far away from this mortal plane
The dreadful hour has come to pass
My kingdom come, the time is now
3. Deadbeat At Dawn
Dusk embraces me
As I lay dying
Rats scurrying around me
In a strangely comforting dance
I'm left with my memories
And a bottle of liquor
When the bottle hits the ground
I know I will be gone
Looking back on how I was
And how I turned out to be
I feel torn between laughter and tears
Spirals like fireworks
Numbing my senses
Spectral forms drifting here and there
Touching me, laughing to themselves
Lord, I thought this would be the end
I so wanted to bid my last farewell
Spirals like fireworks
Numbing my senses
Spectral forms drifting here and there
Touching me, laughing to themselves
Lord, I thought this would be the end
I so wanted to bid my last farewell
Oh Lord...
