Solid

Jesus Christ was born like me in a stable His mom and dad did all that they were able How did they know which way he’d turn? Didn’t want to get their fingers burned To take which path from right or wrong He picked right and I picked wrong (I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze) (Remembering girls and the way they teased) (Mama and papa saying this I tell) (We loved you boy) but you’re going to hell (Roll the devil’s dice) no second chance (Roll the devil’s dice) I did the dead-man’s dance I did the dead-man’s dance Ever since nine I was juvenile Stealing from pa – did petty crime Officer said for me no hope The only good thing for you’s a rope Left me dangling high and dry They picked my bones and the crows took flight (I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze) (Remembering girls and the way they teased) (Mama and papa saying this I tell) (We loved you boy) but you’re going to hell (Roll the devil’s dice) my turn to cast (Roll the devil’s dice) and I got the six (Roll the devil’s dice) all three of them (Roll the devil’s dice) roll the devil’s dice, yeah So here I am on Judgment Day with angels The Lord Jesus is reckoning the tables He said I know you, didn’t take you long Been bad down there, didn’t string along You know which way the righteous choose Gonna swing you high from the reaper’s noose (Roll the devil’s dice) no second chance (Roll the devil’s dice) I did the dead-man’s dance (Roll the devil’s dice) my turn to cast (Roll the devil’s dice) roll the devil’s dice I did the dead-man’s dance

I have to tell a story – about a man Never in the mood – to change his life Nobody wants to help him – as he spirals down But one day the wrong decision – hit him overnight Yeah, yeah, yeah No more cocktail parties – champagne’s run dry No company take-overs – stock markets high No more hand-jobs in the boardroom – sex is history And no saunas, no Jacuzzis – the penalties you’ll reap (At last he realized) He did it wrong (Messed big time everywhere) Double-dealing lies (He’s going down on his bad luck) his just deserts (He’s going down on his bad luck) what he deserved Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah His old man told him always – listen son It’s a two-way street to fortune – you gotta hit and run Don’t forget the mirror – look who’s behind And don’t you come up crying – when it’s faster coming down (At last he realized) He did it wrong (Messed big time everywhere) Double-dealing lies (He’s going down on his bad luck) his just deserts (He’s going down on his bad luck) what he deserved (He’s going down on his bad luck) it’s his time (He’s going down on his bad luck) can’t rewind Do you get the story – you know this man Have you learned a lesson? Do you understand? When all you got is crystal – you shouldn’t cast a stone So be careful when you go up – ‘cause you’ll meet them coming down (He’s going down on his bad luck) his just deserts (He’s going down on his bad luck) what he deserved (He’s going down on his bad luck) it’s his time (He’s going down on his bad luck) can’t rewind

See the gates of hell and they’re still bleeding Creatures of the night are creeping out – so proud I’ll be there once more to feed them More and more they’re sneaking in my mind – so strong All in all nothing’s left behind Cannot hold it back this dark desire Don’t turn your head or you’ll be dead The good have gone to ground – you know why Preachers of the night – they’re calling Preachers of the night – there will be no tomorrow Preachers of the night – I’m falling Preachers of the night – they want me back Touch the gates of hell while they’re still bleeding Tearing at my soul and watch it weep – so raw You better back off My mind is not my own, take heed then All evil’s been unleashed within us all – so war! You better back off All in all nothing’s left behind Cannot hold it back this dark desire Don’t turn your head or you’ll be dead The good have gone to ground – you know why Preachers of the night – they’re calling Preachers of the night – there will be no tomorrow Preachers of the night – I’m falling Preachers of the night – they want me back Deal me out – I’ve had enough Trading in the kingdom of the beast Step by step – not far behind me Flesh and blood will never rest in peace All in all nothing’s left behind Cannot hold it back this dark desire Don’t turn your head or you’ll be dead The good have gone to ground – you know why Preachers of the night – they’re calling Preachers of the night – there will be no tomorrow Preachers of the night – I’m falling Preachers of the night Preachers of the night – they’re calling Preachers of the night – there will be no tomorrow Preachers of the night – I’m falling Preachers of the night – they want me back

For all of time we had a man Who had a frozen heart He’s standing on a hill And sees the morning come Fear and rage – destruction He made a world of pain Hate and sin – confession He craved a senseless crime ‘Cause he’s a sane killer – he takes you by surprise He’s a sane killer – stares into your eyes He’s a hate stinger – nothing left to chance He’s a sane killer – and he’s the last to dance Just in time he finds the way To do without the lies It’s time to bruise and maim Stripped of all disguise Fear and rage – destruction No warning or a sign Hate and sin – confession He’s deadly from behind ‘Cause he’s a sane killer – he takes you by surprise He’s a sane killer – stares into your eyes He’s a hate stinger – nothing left to chance He’s a sane killer – and he’s the last to dance The devil rings – we pay the rent The cruelest cut of all We built the road he travelled on The lessons come to call So look for signs behind the eyes Destructor of us all Stands alone deathly still The stealer has arrived Fear and rage – destruction He made a world of pain Hate and sin – confession He craved a senseless crime ‘Cause he’s a sane killer – he takes you by surprise He’s a sane killer – stares into your eyes He’s a hate stinger – nothing left to chance He’s a sane killer – and he’s the last to dance ‘Cause he’s a sane killer – he takes you by surprise He’s a sane killer – stares into your eyes He’s a hate stinger – nothing left to chance He’s a sane killer – and he’s the last to dance

No light inside as empty room Under pressure I can’t win The screams, the pain – it’s all inside All this talking all the time When there is something left Talk to me face to face Expected so much more I’m sick and tired of it all Why don’t you (pray for the hunted?) I scream for help to free my heart You better (pray for the hunter) I wonder why you take me apart The light has died and who’s to blame You’re the one who messed around You shook, you took, you played your games The time has come you’re going down When there is something left Talk to me face to face Expected so much more I’m sick and tired of it all Why don’t you (pray for the hunted?) I scream for help to free my heart You better (pray for the hunter) I wonder why you take me apart You take me apart Why don’t you pray for the hunted? You better pray for the hunter Why don’t you pray for the hunted? You better pray for the hunter Why don’t you (pray for the hunted?) I scream for help to free my heart You better (pray for the hunter) I wonder why you take me apart Why don’t you (pray for the hunted?) You score no more you’ve lost this game You better (pray for the hunter) Why do you always have to take me apart? Oh yeah
