9.	Dead on Parade 01:19	lyrics	buy track
as night steals the day mothers begin to pray the dead are on parade while children hide from play the dead are on parade tonight with moonlit ghostly howls the clouds decline the starlight shine the werewolves hunt and prowl the ravens pluck the dead man's eye crows they swarm above the pines as skeletons dance the living all but cry the dead are on parade tonight so shut your windows tight lock the doors and hide the light this is nothing for human sight gloom and doom everywhere what else my crawl from hell the devils and demons stop and stare at the ringing of churches bells the night is done and dead return to their rightful graves the ghouls and ghosts are all spurned by a heavenly glaive no fiends no screams all hellions have sneaked back to their seven halls below the grass and streams the trees and creeks move with the silent scene so do not weep it's safe to sleep day will break the sun shall beam so thank the lord your soul to keep now the dead have gone away
10.	Grounded 02:12	lyrics	buy track
grounded by the sound of the silence by weight of this downpour torrential rain in limbo inside keeping in time a single strain a note so plain to cross this great divide to shake cage in pride locked up me myself and i company through the night as i stain the carpet red so much blood i should be dead so many drugs in my head remind me what was said the night came to you in need of something new i wish i could believe i know i should just leave but bound am i grounded by equally lies and truths evil yet forgiven dark yet shining so many questions with a single answer i wonder one day might i be free from this cage from this rage from the rain and the earth from myself still today i see where i stand grounded
