Walking
Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping
Hating
Things I can't bear
Did you think it's cool
To walk right up
And take my life
And fuck it up
Well did you?
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
Walking Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping
Hating
Things I can't bear
Did you think it's cool
To walk right up
And take my life
And fuck it up
Well did you?
I hate you
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart too
How'd it get this far
Playing games with this old heart
I've killed a million petty souls
But I couldn't kill you
I've slept so long without you
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you made me die inside.

'Slept So Long' will be the very first song performed at Lestat's Death Valley concert. It is the opening act. During the instrumental introduction, the band comes onstage and the crowd cheers. Suddenly, Lestat flies down from above, lands behind the microphone and starts to sing... The crowd goes absolutely wild, and the show begins! :) For more information, visit My Death Valley Concert Experience.
I predict that 'Slept So Long' will be a major hit for Jonathan Davis and Richard Gibbs. It is definitely a new sound from Jon, but it's highly addictive. The chorus has a fantastic sound and the lyrics are easily remembered. However, judging from the reception at the concert, the most popular line of the song comes right before the chorus:
Did you think it's cool
To walk right up
And take my life
And fuck it up
Well did you?
Yep, people sure do love this line, and I think it will become a token catchphrase when the song's released!
