Come on In 02:53
I said come on in Welcome to my house Kick off your shoes Let your troubles out Said come on in Make yourself at home In this house of sin You're never alone You're welcome here Got nothing to lose 'Cept maybe your soul or maybe your blues Said come on in Where have you been I've been waiting on you To come on in
2.
Evil little girl Got me feeling cursed Conjured in my mind Devil on the shoreline Evil little girl Your fault as much as mine Now you're breaking hearts Got me scared of the dark Maybe I'm hypnotized Devil on the shoreline Evil little girl You gotta let it shine The sun will set tonight A shiver down my spine You gotta save my soul Or take my life My devil on the shore My evil little girl My evil little girl Turning out the lights My evil little girl You gotta let it shine My devil on the shore My evil little girl Hey hey hey My evil little girl
3.
Broken down, shaken up I’m staring at the sky above Father, son, Holy Ghost Light the night, save our souls Hellfire through the clouds Lift us up from the ground Stars bleed into a blur Raining down, scorch the earth Nowhere to hide From the shapes in the night Vacant eyes, hollow hearts The cattle bleat in the dark Far from the world we know There ain’t no streets paved with gold Nowhere to hide From the shapes in the night Burning bright
4.
Lace up your boots it's time to go There's fire above and a hell below They've gone and drawn a line in the sand In the last world war in the time of man I wanna run, I wanna run away Don't know if we're gonna live to see today I wanna run, I wanna run away Don't know if we're gonna live to see today Step on the gas, head for the hills If death don't getch'ya, then the devil will If I die for you, I think I can, in the last world war in the time of man I wanna run, I wanna run away Don't know if we're gonna live to see today I wanna run, I wanna run away Don't know if we're gonna live to see today Now I dig Jesus, but I ain't sure What he thinks about killing in a holy war When I'm gone my last request is to play that song that I love the best I wanna run, i wanna run away Don't know if we're gonna live to see today I wanna run, I wanna run away Don't know if we're gonna live to see today Hey hey
5.
The coast and the cavern The cradle and the grave The darkness that keeps trying To pull me away Thank God for the sinners I will play the Saint I’ll live just like a lantern And I’ll die just like a flame Make your peace Some valleys run deep Mend that hole where your heart should be You came from dirt It waits patiently To let the weary mourn For the wicked lying beneath The creeps and the mystics Mother Nature’s child The wretched will inherit Whatever’s left behind Holy water, fire in the sky Save all our souls Or at least save mine Make your peace Some valleys run deep Mend that hole where your heart should be You came from dirt It waits patiently To let the weary mourn For the wicked lying beneath Make your peace Some valleys run deep Mend that hole where your heart should be Fear the other side But remember to breathe We’ll all be together When we’re lying beneath

Belong to Me 04:56
Said I need your love like the air that I breathe Like snow need the cold, yeah you're necessary And I can't get enough, you I'd never leave And I remember when you belonged to me And I'll take it all, All your pleasure and pain, cause I knew you before, yeah we're one and the same Told you what this is for, tell me what does this mean I keep loving you more, You belong to me, yeah You belong to me, You belong to me You belong to me You belong to me If I spend my whole life loving you, Maybe then you'll know my love is true Gonna spend my whole life loving you Said I need your love, J'ai besoin des vous Tu touchez ma main, Et je suis venu. I would steal your name, I would steal you away, cause we're one and the same you belong to me I ain't in my right mind I ain't playing no games, yes You threw gas on the fire and I ain't been the same Like the sun needs to shine, like a heart needs to bleed, I will call you mine, you belong to me, yeah You belong to me You belong to me You belong to me You belong to me
7.
Room for Two 02:10
I found a place made just for you By the creek covered up in roots I told you not to go out without me I fear that the only way For me to sleep is in a grave But I won’t be resting in peace I found a place made just for you By the creek covered up in roots I told you not to go out without me I pack the soil, cover it in leaves Put the shovel back in her sheath Kick the dirt right off my boots I fear that the only way For me to sleep is in a grave But I won’t be resting in peace Time will tell the tale Of a man under a women’s spell That no amount a pleading could break Every eye is following Every voice is whispering Though it may just be in my head The only lie I ever told Was to myself that I could let go But now I find I might be missing you I’m glad I made room for two
8.
Cannonball 03:57
Come sit down beside me, If you like me If you like me, you can hold my hand No matter where my feet may find me, you are right there where I am And I know just when you enter A chill comes down the hall As cold as any winter And heavy like a cannonball
9.
Bury me in the backyard Underneath the poplar Doomed to be forgotten Wilted away Empty out your pockets Gold teeth and watches All that’s ill-gotten You can’t take to the grave Tell my only daughter As she treads the water Of princes and paupers They’re one in the same Son, watch the darkness The moonlight upon us Hear the Devil calling Staking out his claim I can’t sleep no more Beasts clawing down my door Fade into the flame Only leave behind my name Comfort in leaving Depends what you believe in You can’t keep living In what has come to pass I’ll watch the darkness The moonlight upon us I’ll hear the Devil calling Screaming out our names I can’t sleep no more Beasts clawing down my door Fade into the flame Only leave behind my name
10.
Geronimo 03:41
If I had more sense I'd let you know Never again you told me so Can't keep it straight No I can't stand still Anything for you You know I will But I am caught in between my poor heart and my dreams And we will build a house and burn it all down Well dontch'ya look now Come and take my hand There is no doubt I am your man No backing out Well who's to know Well dontch'ya look down Geronimo And I am caught in between my poor heart and my dreams And we will build a house and burn it all down They caught me on that northern line Don't know whose fault It wasn't mine My love for you It will abide And I'll think of you from time to time And if you're caught in between your poor heart and your dreams You can turn it all around and burn it all down

about

The Menders 4th album, "The Devil's Reel", is an exploration into the temptation and wages of vice and sin, the weakness of will, and the triumph of the spirit.
