Bad God 06:46
BAD GOD ((( Man # 1 ))) Bad God He once was good He gave us life and all He could At some point I think that We disappointed God The Judgment Day has come Retaliation for what we've done He created the Universe And then He destroyed the Sun Darkness replaces light Hot turns to cold Eyes losing sight I can't see all the vengeance Bad God sends to me I'm blind in agony What does He send to me? Hell would be warmer than The planet I long to see Earth! Earth! Earth is a barren wasteland Where nothing grows up from the ground My eyes can't see the famine But sometimes visions make a sound The Book of Revelations Could not prepare me for His Wrath He took the Sun away from us For falling off His Chosen Path Bad God He once was good He gave us life and all He could At some point I think that We disappointed God The Judgment Day has come Retaliation for what we've done He created the Universe And then He destroyed the Sun Awake to find that I can see A new star formed when fast asleep I think Good God has once returned A Lesson taught for us to learn The power of His Vengeful Wrath To keep us on His Chosen Path A new Sun shines that I can see My God have I forsaken Thee? [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

DAMNED TO HELL ((( Man # 1 ))) I've been damned to Hell According to my priest There is no hope for me My soul goes to the Beast My bitter blasphemy brought punishment I didn't know that pain was Heaven sent Only one thing makes me smile I've known her for just a little while But it's been long enough to know It would be tough to let her go Because she made me who I am She's a lovely girl To me she's everything She says she loves me Even though bad luck I bring I choose to live an immoral life I want a lover, not a wife And now that I've been damned to Hell I want one sick depraved farewell I'll keep sinning while I can I have temptations as a man There's nothing more now He can do to me I spoke too soon My love has fallen from the sky Unstable ladder broke My lovely lady died God was appalled that I kept sinning I've made Him mad since the beginning There is no reason left to live My heart was full of love to give But I got swindled out of love And I'm not welcome up above If I've been damned to Hell I'll go At least I'm welcome down below I'll take a razor to my wrists Right now I'd rather not exist And so it's best to get this over with [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Cerberus 03:54
CERBERUS ((( Man # 1 ))) Three-headed dog, guard the gates Don't seal my fate with multiple jaws God wouldn't know what to do If He knew you were in control Why must you hurt me? The flames are high I'm gonna die for all eternity Please let me through without a fight A triple bite from three heads of you Cerberus I know you want to see me burn below But Satan certainly has more Compassion than you show Why must you attack me? I'm already damned enough There's two long hard deep incisions Through the skin below my cuffs Hello Cerberus In Hell Oh stop biting me, Satan's guard My arms are scarred already, let me be Sharp strong shooting pains With vicious barks You've made your marks Upon pre-severed veins Cerberus Your malice has just hidden my demise Your courtesy was well concealed Behind six evil eyes I now know that you damaged me To hide my sins away When Satan found no evidence He sent me back your way Cerberus You've helped me find My way through Heaven's door I'm forever in your debt You'll be my friend forever more But now I have to leave you I'm expected up above If I ever pass this way again Devour me with love Thank you Cerberus [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

PURGATORY MOUNTAIN ((( Man # 1 ))) Caught red-handed by Saint Peter Tried to deny it But Good God sees everything Since Hell and Heaven Would not let me in I headed to the place in-between Purgatory Mountain, here I sit until I stop Could be forever, could be never Somewhere a Holy Jury Comes to a decision As I wait on Purgatory Mountain top Cloudy weather rules my penance Below the Mountain is a turbulent ocean Up in the distance Rays of light cut through the sky So I stand before Good God like a man Good God I am so sorry that I labeled You bad Please don't destroy me like the Sun I am so sorry that I ended my life But I think it was The worst one I could ever have The light falls on my face And the power of His Grace Makes me wish I never took my life And threw it away Then a consecrated Fountain Emerges from the Mountain And the Voice of God commands me: "Hear what I say... Take the Grail upon the Fountain On Purgatory Mountain And drink the Holy Water That the Fountain supplies" I obey the Holy Father Drink the Holy Water Then the Mountain starts to tremble It's a sacred surprise The consecrated Fountain On Purgatory Mountain Starts to crumble into pieces Like the Mountain below And the Voice of God commands me To live my life again, He says: "Man, you've got a long way to go" [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Shared Again 05:01
SHARED AGAIN ((( Man # 8 ))) I've lived through Seven Lives Lost the same girl seven times It's true, she lived the same lives too Now my Eighth Life is shared again By the same girl I knew back then She's here, will history repeat this year? I don't wanna lose her again It's been five-hundred long years Since the First time But the last time wasn't long enough ago To find the strength To let her break my heart again (repeat) She never looks at all the same She never even has the same old name But she has been reliving Seven Lives with me I always seem to find the girl That seems find me In this great big world She dies and rises up to God Above the skies I don't wanna lose her again It's been five-hundred long years Since the First time I've been living, she's been dying What's the point in finding strength To let her break my heart again? I met her in a distant time She fell, the ladder wasn't meant to climb I cried the very First time she died The Second time was alcohol The Third and Fourth Because of buildings tall In Five and Six and Seven She could not survive I don't wanna lose her again I don't think that I can take it this time Because this girl has hit me Harder than ever And the bond would be painful to sever I don't wanna share it again Because my heart has been Broken before But if she decides to love me One more time, I'll say: "Oh yes But please don't Share my life again" Shared again [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

TO MAKE YOU HAPPY ((( Man # 8 ))) You said you loved me I replied the same God's Will is coming The truth is very plain You sit around all day and cry There's nothing we can do It's been decided I've lived Eight times now You have lived the same We both looked different We both had different names But I always remember And you always forget I couldn't hide it It's been decided I made Him angry I labeled God as bad He made the ladder break The fall took all I had I was already damned enough I slit open my wrists But Hell denied me I stood before Him He labeled me as bad He said my disregard for living Made Him mad He took our spirits from the sky And gave us life again He makes me lonely Each time He makes me What can I do to make you happy? I am so sorry you're involved in this It's all my fault I said I loved you I know it sealed your fate The countdown now begins This is the starting date I know you think I should have lied But lying is a sin And God can hear me You must be strong with me We haven't lots of time Don't spend your living days Repenting for my crime He won't be changing any Rules So wipe away your tears He makes me lonely Each time He makes me To make you happy Sure would mean so much to me [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

THE WORST YEAR OF MY LIVES ((( Man # 8 ))) She said she loved me and then she died I knew she would but I gave it a try I think God's Will has once returned Eternal Lesson taught to learn I saw it coming but I tried to ignore The fact that she never Outlived me before Right from the start I knew She wouldn't survive But this turned into The worst year of my Lives But I know that she will find me again A different incarnation of the girl With a soul just the same as before Yes I know that I will find her again In different incarnations of the girl With a soul just the same as before [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Susannah 05:18
SUSANNAH ((( Man # 9 ))) There's something Strange about Susannah She's such a twisted little girl She's got me wrapped around her finger Someday she plans to rule the world It wouldn't surprise you if she succeeded She's got a radiance you can't resist But deep inside her heart is evil I've tasted venom in her kiss Most people tell me That she's wrong for me Because she never treats me right They say her temper's much too volatile She's like a stick of dynamite But I could never tell her no She's much too sharp to let her go What would I do if I was anywhere But standing there with her? I met Susannah in September She was the new girl at the school I watched her walk into the classroom Her sway was calm And her collection was cool Somehow she found me once again The girl I've loved so many times With every movement That Susannah makes She's like a past-life pantomime It's sad to know this couldn't last I should be learning a lot From what I learned in the past What could I do? I fell in love with her Because she said she fell in love with me I told Susannah she was dying She said I'm crazy but I cleaned the slate She heard the dark details Of our past livings And every time we had a brush with fate She said: "I love you, but I hate you more Because I'm doomed to die tonight" I said: "Our one year anniversary Will be a wake by candlelight, but… "Oh Susannah don't you cry 'Cause it's a matter of fact It's just a matter of time" [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

SOMETHING'S COMING ((( Man # 10 ))) Something's coming in the distance Something's running with a fright Coming closer, getting louder Beast morose or friendly sight? It nears the light Frozen in a fearful terror gaze Trapped inside a wooden forest maze Troubled by a constant evil sound Shape tears past me Balance hits the ground Something's someone Somewhat frightened Mad with visions of despair It's a girl, cut up and beaten Bloody curls of tangled hair But something else is there The sound remains, the monster closes in I bite my lip, blood trickles down my chin The frightened girl clings Helpless at my side Unnerved we wait for something to arrive I stand in front of her She holds me tight this horrid night Two dark gold eyes are glowing Right in front of me, quickly proceeding My knees give out, I lose my balance Gravity defeats me We fall together Curling up into a ball of safety Something suddenly stops moving Rushing blood into my veins Open my eyes to find the darkness Black night sky to soothe my pain My senses went insane Hallucinations caused by panicked fear The only explanation is a deer I kiss the girl upon her head and see Her bloody hair was not just fantasy A sudden growling makes Its presence known It chills the bone The girl digs fingernails into my skin What have I gotten into? We're both attacked by something sinister I'm holding her We slip into unconsciousness With one final kiss [words & music by Sean Schuyler]
11.
THEY RAN AWAY ((( An Observer, # 11 ))) They met each other at The Ice Cream Social They spent the day together And the nighttime too But when she took him home To meet her family It was obvious Her parents disapproved of him 'Cause he came from The opposite side of the tracks And he didn't deserve her love They didn't listen to her parents And they continued to Profess their feelings But then one day they were discovered Her father caught them In a passionate embrace When dealing with an angry parent Brandishing a gun Because his daughter lost her Innocence too soon You must contain control of your anxiety Or someone could get shot Which is exactly what occurred A fight broke out, the gun went off Her father toppled over lifelessly They had no choice so They ran away [words & music by Sean Schuyler]
12.
Cowcatcher 03:41
COWCATCHER ((( An Observer, # 11 ))) They step up to the county railroad tracks They look so nervous but they try to relax A train has never been a problem before But now they're haunted by That image of gore When thirteen years ago The stranger was killed This very spot is where His body was spilled So c'mon, so c'mon There's a train coming soon so c'mon They should be crossing the rails And the wooden board trail To wind up safe across the tracks Without the slightest little scratch So c'mon Cowcatcher Won't you leave them alone? Their only purpose is to find a new home She never makes him a drink But he still loves her a lot I still remember when the stranger was hit The local news explained His body was split Straight down the middle by The front of the train The Cowcatcher is the name of the frame It serves to clear obstructions Off of the track The Cowcatcher in front And the Caboose in the back So c'mon There's a train coming soon so c'mon They should be crossing the rails And the wooden board trail To wind up safe across the tracks Without the slightest little scratch So c'mon Cowcatcher Won't you leave them alone? Their only purpose is to find a new home She never makes him a drink But he still loves her a lot They make a bold attempt at Crossing the tracks But they don't know This is no time to relax 'Cause in the time they spent Perusing the scene The limits of the locomotive machine Decreased in distance from The boy and the girl A minor difference in this great big world But they stop, but they stop 'Cause her shoelace is caught So they stop Then the train blows a whistle He shoots up like a missile And he turns to find the front of the train He trips and falls away The Cowcatcher Couldn't leave them alone The boy is living but The girl can't be sewn A local myth urges Never cross at this very spot So go on Cowcatcher Won't you leave them in peace? The boy is paralyzed In sadness and grief She never made him a drink But he still loved her a lot [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

MY EMPTY HEART ((( Man # 12 ))) I've been alive for much too long I've lived Eleven times before My heart was strong I only killed myself The First time that I lived I now know suicide is wrong I've been repenting since the day The price of blasphemy And murder wasn't paid I had to live through ten more Lives Consumed by grief and sadness The same girl came and went away And now my empty heart is breaking Now you know why I feel so cold My fears of loneliness And growing old alone Inspired a suicide That left me an averse immortal And so my Twelfth Life now unfolds I learned to live with being left alone But if the Lesson strikes again I can't condone To lose one dozen of the same girl Surely would destroy me And leave my legacy in bones 'Cause now my empty heart is breaking Somehow she found me once again The girl I've loved so many times With every movement that she makes She's like a past-life pantomime [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

INFINITY TO THE INFINITE POWER ((( Man # 12 ))) I think about you two times a day When I am sleeping and when I am awake My thoughts are never anywhere else And I never thought of being myself Until I met you Infinity to the infinite power I love you times Infinity to the infinite power Girl I love you more than Infinity to the infinite power I love you times Infinity to the infinite power Girl I love you more When I see you I don't see you enough Separation is incredibly tough to survive I'm alive when I am holding you near To be without you girl is all that I fear It feels like dying Infinity to the infinite power I love you times Infinity to the infinite power Girl I love you more than Infinity to the infinite power I love you times Infinity to the infinite power Girl I love you more But there is no exponential number High enough to express my love And every waking hour is spent Admiring what life is made of I dream that you will stay with me Until we're old and one of us dies Unless by strange coincidence We go together What a surprise A surprise Surprise! I hope my morbid thoughts don't offend But I am certain that We're close to the end I wish that time was endless and good Because infinity wouldn't end if it could Infinity to the infinite power I love you times Infinity to the infinite power Girl I love you more than Infinity to the infinite power I love you times Infinity to the infinite power Girl I love you more than I can [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

RECONCILIATION ((( Man # 12 ))) I've known her for more than a year now I've never known the girl For more than a year When I was faced with a Judgment God told me I had to overcome my loneliness fears God told me to stay out of Heaven 'Cause Heaven had no room For killers like me Instead my soul would Remain on this planet And live from Life to Life In sadness and grief The First time was a fall The Eighth time was the worst of them all The Ninth and Tenth and Eleventh Were tragically sad in themselves I ended it all with a razor I didn't want to but I had to be free I was labeled a blasphemous sinner And watched Him take away The same girl from me (over and over again) Cloudy weather today But not one droplet of rain Why do I feel like I'm on Purgatory Mountain top? Rays of light cut through the sky The kind of thing that you See when you die But now I'm sensing That the news isn't bad This is the warmest feeling I've ever had God asked me why I haven't tried to Repeat the suicide that started the streak I told Him though I've been Sad and grief-stricken I won't repeat the act that Labeled me weak Cloudy sky disappears He knows I lost my loneliness fears A long important Lesson has been Lifted from my empty heart God told me I never believed Until He took all the sunshine from me But now I'm older and I'm learning to live He taught His Lesson And He wants to forgive He said the girl and I will not be reborn We'll go to Heaven, not relive life forlorn Although I don't know If we're even or odd I had a Reconciliation with God Now I know, won't have to find her again In different incarnations of the girl 'Cause we're both We're both on our way to Heaven [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

PASSIONATE RIVER ((( Man # 12 ))) I sit across from her Across the Passionate River I notice her and I notice her notice me shiver I ask the Lord to forgive me and Let me forgive her I turn to her and I wonder Could this be forever? Strict separation of sexes Is common in Heaven I thought the last time That we'd ever part was Eleven Glancing at each other Glancing at love separation I thought I knew The meaning of Reconciliation The Passionate River Is making me shiver The Cat and the Fiddle Are solving the Riddle [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

You'll die within a year
Of the day when we said
We loved each other
Pretty soon you'll be dead."
