Tonight we call out to the darkest haunts Wear your nightmares and frightening thoughts Show the face of inner rage That paste to every lasting page Send it out to foes and friends They'll never wanna hear your voice again They say 'when will the madness go away?' Well, maybe tomorrow but not today So we prep ourselves for party and for play Upon the notions some potions we pray We'll take away dismay til our dying day Brave. Astray! astray! take my pain away Strike my nights and darken my days Bismal and dismal, so deep in disarray Make me pay Make me pay Ohhh, make me pay. My lying, cheating days are through! After, oh, say a good damn decade or two And now There's all this drinking to do so Lets toast to a hopeful something true. Tonight we write down to clear our minds You'll find in time you'll begin to rely on Exactly what you left behind Truly sorry, that is life. Remember all the days when we said 'let's drive away' From all the pain that ferments this place Where we wallow in sorrow, then win first place What grace. Astray! astray! take my pain away Strike my nights and darken my days Bismal and dismal, so deep in disarray Make me pay Make me pay. Astray! astray! take my breath away! Fight most nights and drown all days Coyly you destroy me With your evil ways Be gone And be gone.
