14. THE DEVIL CRIED

One fine day in Hell
The master told a story
Someone lied so well
He sent him back to Glory

There are whispers between the screams
That this deed can be done
Even sinners must dream
And I can be the one to make the Devil cry

I can win this game
If all things come together
I know this sounds quite strange
I won't be smart, just clever

It's the law on the other side
Just a tear lets you run
And though many have tried
I know I'll be the one to make the Devil cry

At last my time has come
I must not give him pleasure
I can be the one
One chance or burn forever

So I told him about my pain
And the life I've been through
He just smiled and the laughter came
Then I told him that I love you, and the Devil cried

Tears from his eyes
Eyes of fire
And the Devil cried

15. SHADOW OF THE WIND

Oh it's night again
And the dark just killed the sun
If the light must end
You've got time to run away

There's a door to dreams
And it always lets you in
But with a silent scream
All the nightmares must begin

Still you chase what you can't see
Like death and pain and sin
And the shadow of the wind
The shadow of the wind

You'll remember me
I could make you disappear
Be where you want to be
Just as long as it's not here

Well I'm back and stronger
And the first one's always free
And it lasts much longer
You can bet your sanity

Never more the victim cries
As I slip beneath the skin
Like the shadow of the wind
The shadow of the wind

If words had names like red and green
And two for sympathy
Black and white and in between
Then you'd be misery

Every day is an inquisition
Who are you? What are you? Why?
I'm alive, I belong, I'll be back
It's a half truth, still a whole lie

In the garden of good and evil
You'll come, but you know
The spider only spins
The shadow of the wind
The shadow of the wind

16. EAR IN THE WALL

Hello can you hear me
I might not be alone
Don’t see anyone near me
But I just might go home again
Lets meet in the morning
I just can’t speak tonight
This is more than a warning
Be silent till its light and then

You know I’ll be there
Waiting for someone to believe me
Remembering it all
Make my flesh start to crawl
I’ve seen an ear in the wall
This time it could prove it
But you've heard this all before
Cry wolf and you’re moving
To a special kind of danger zone
I need a witness
Somebody just like you
So bring an exorcist
A wizard and the Holy Ghost

You know I’ll be there

Waiting for someone to believe me
Remembering it all
Make my flesh creep and crawl
I’ve seen an ear in the wall

One more reason one more time
Someone’s searching through my mind
Now where am I suppose to go
Its not who you are its who you know
What’s it gonna be
I knew you would answer
I’m the curiosity
You could miss a chance because
The fool might see reality
There it is in the corner
You must be going blind
What’s wrong were you born before
Your god invented eyes
It’s got to be there
Grinding away at my secrets
It’s going so dark
And you can’t see it all
I’ll turn on some lights
So you’re sure not to fall
It’s next to the eye in the wall
