In the dark of night... filling your hearts with fright...
Rising from the embers, I stand alone...
Like a monolith... hard as stone...
From the lurking depths, glistening in the moonlight
I walk this path
Rising from the ashes
Free in spirit, body, & mind... the rural land is mine...
This is Campfire Stories...

Black Suede Shoes

Keep to yourself & don't bother with me
I'm a super cool cat, but I can get real mean
So, keep your chin up & watch the things that you do
Or the next on my list to go just might be you
Oh yeah
Well alright
These black suede shoes are gonna stomp your head tonight
Listen close now, you're gettin' on my last nerve
If you keep it up, you're gonna surely get what you deserve
A higher power couldn't make me walk away
So I just might have'ta mutilate your face today
Oh yeah
Well alright
These black suede shoes are gonna stomp your head tonight

All Alone

I'm a broken man, yeah
I'm so sick & tired
I left my love in her hands
I'm like a bird on a wire
I'm alone
So alone
All alone
She bites the hand that feeds her
Just like a diseased dog
Every time that I get burned
It's for her love that I still long
I'm alone
So alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
I'm alone
So alone
All alone
You know she'll never take the blame
For everything she's done
While her conscience fills with disdain
Yeah, she drowns in her own blood
I'm alone
So alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
I'm alone
So alone
All alone
I'm alone
So alone
All alone

Last Tender Kiss

Ooooh... Ooohhh...
Ooooh... Ooohhh...
I still cry out your name in the middle of the night
The last scream that you bellowed still fills my heart with fright
But I know things are gonna be just fine
The last time I held you close, I can't forget
As you choked on your last breath, it almost made me sick
But I know things are gonna be just fine
I was feelin' fine that night
Why, baby why'd you have'ta go & die?
The bitter sweet taste that your blood left on my lips
Reminds me of that last tender kiss
Ooooh... Ooohhh...
Ooooh... Ooohhh...
Blessed are my afterthoughts of why you're gone
& with that final breath, you couldn't still hang on
But I know things are gonna be just fine
I was feelin' fine that night
Why, baby why'd you have'ta go & die?
The bitter sweet taste that your blood left on my lips
Reminds me of that last tender kiss
Ooooh... Ooohhh...
Ooooh... Ooohhh...

La... la-la-la-la
Been broken & battered
By the cruel ways of the world
Salty tears of a long lost soul
Drowning in a self medicated mess
There's no turning back now
I've lost everything that I love
I've got no fear of death at all
Weeping willow
Here I stand
La... la-la-la-la
Over protective of emotions
Running wild, there's no way to tame
Choke another day down
My own head is driving me insane
There's no turning back now
I've lost everything that I love
I've got no fear of death at all
Weeping willow
Here I stand
La... la-la-la-la

Back From The Grave
04:22

Mourning light, it don't shine
This bitterness, it won't fade
They say there comes a time
To release from the shade
Broken thoughts of pastimes
Are maggots that infest my brain
Uprising from the earth
Mutiny, baby mutiny is my name
& I'm searching for a better place
So I don’t have to prove this dreadful face
I’m back, back from the grave
Blood, sweat, & tears geared up what I am today
I’m back, back from the grave
Haunting ‘til my last breath, the masses can’t be saved
These feelings of emptiness inside
Means that mortal life is of long ago
The carnage leaves from time to time
Horror stories have been told
I walk through twilight, embrace my hand
Loneliness is my only friend
Everlasting here I stand
The night calls me once again
& I'm searching for a better place
So I don’t have to prove this dreadful face
I’m back, back from the grave
Blood, sweat, & tears geared up what I am today
I’m back, back from the grave
Haunting ‘til my last breath, the masses can’t be saved
I'm Back
Back
Back
Back
Back
Oooh... back from the grave

Ressurection Cemetery

Out cruisin’ on a rainy night
I saw her standin’ under a street light
With a long white dress & her wet blonde hair
I picked her up on the corner
Then we drove off down that darkened road
She smiled at me so I asked her name
Her eyes of fire lit like a flame
When I touched her leg she cowered
It all happened in the late, late hours
She was hitchin’ a ride towards highway 41
When I saw her standin’
Standin’ by the side of the road
I asked her if she needed
Needed a ride home
My friends don’t believe that I dropped Mary
At the gates of the resurrection cemetery
She said her stop was comin’ up on that street
Our encounter was short & discreet
She jumped out without givin’ a kiss goodbye
I didn’t have a chance to ask why
Before my eyes she vanished into graveyard mist
Yeah, you know I saw her standin’
Standin’ by the side of the road
I asked her if she needed
Needed a ride home
My friends don’t believe that I dropped Mary
At the gates of the resurrection cemetery

Meant To Be

When stars shine in the sky, it reminds me of a face
So precious & so bright, just like the light of day
Your presence brings me back to a time when I was loved
I’m just like a new man, it’s like you’ve fallen from above
Just like the river flows to the sea
The time is now for you & me
I would starve myself to death just to see your face
There’s so many things that I would like to say
I’m wanting you
I’ll hold you too
I believe we were meant to be
I’ll wait for you
I promise that I’ll be true
I believe we were meant to be
I’ve seen this all before, it was too good to be true
As hours turn into days my only thoughts are of you
You glow like an angel, brighten my dreams come true
I feel your love slipping away, but my heart is at ease with you
Just like the river flows to the sea
The time is now for you & me
I would starve myself to death just to see your face
There’s so many things that I would like to say
I’m wanting you
I’ll hold you too
I believe we were meant to be
I’ll wait for you
Promise that I’ll be true
I believe we were meant to be
Baby...
I believe we were meant to be
Say that you’ll stay with me
I believe... we were meant to be

The Emptiness
04:05
|

|
Greasy hair & a look that’s mean
People say I’m a sight to be seen
Close your doors & lock ‘em tight
I’ll be out stalking you tonight
A crucifix can’t save your soul
Divine intervention has made me bold
My faith is slim, but I’ll take my chance
Stitched solid, like stone I stand
I’m on the road to nowhere
I said I’m on the road to nowhere
Hold me tight, never let me go
I’d love to love, but I’m surrounded in woe
In misery I’ll be laid to rest
All can be held is that I tried my best
Broken dreams of what could exist
Bad times, where to begin
Locked in on sorrow & loss
How much more will this existence cost?
I’m on the road to nowhere
I said I’m on the road to nowhere
I can’t believe what’s said is done
It’s been gone for far too long
The emptiness leads me to nowhere
Sad but true I don’t need you
I’ll die lonely in my own cocoon
The emptiness leads me to nowhere

A black beauty that's long & lean
It's the creepiest Caddy that you'd ever see
Pin-striped spider webs & a dark window tint
A pewter vampyre bat as a hood ornament
I drive a Frankenstein Cadillac
The headlights have a haunting glow
Blood stained tires that know how to go
A corpse in the back keeps me company
Six months old, it's starting to get green
I drive a Frankenstein Cadillac

Anything is what she is
Anywhere is where she's from
Anything is what she'll be
Anything as long as it's mine
And the door it opens is the way back in
Or is it the way back out?
Anyplace, is where she'll be
Anyplace, she'll see you from
Lies & secrets become your world
Anytime, anywhere, she takes me away
And death climbs up the steps one by one
To give you the rose that's been burnt by her son
Point me to the sky above
I can't get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones
I have seen the demon's face
I have heard of her death place
I fall down on my knees in praise of the
Horrible things that took her away
And death climbs up the steps one by one
To give you the rose that's been burnt by her son
Point me to the sky above
I can't get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
& I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
& I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body, it never was found
My girl, my girl, don'tcha lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
& I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where that sun don't ever shine
& I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where that sun, it don't shine
& I would shiver the whole night through
