August, 1980 (June, 2011 version) Lyrics

(Voice mail [unknown])I fell in love at second sight
The end of the night
Told you you're beautiful
Yeah, oh I want it tooDays are getting colder
Felt the Winter strangle the Fall
Your birthday, then Christmas
another year has come and gone.Then it was Spring
and I couldn't wait
to take you out dancin'.The sickness, the darkness
consume my forsaken soulThen it was June
but you weren't around.
I wanted to find you.You told me not to look so damn hard
but, I didlike you right from the start
your baby teeth just chewin' and gnawing my heart
It just wouldn't let it go
I didn't want you tooTrimmed off my armor, my weapons, and denounced my faith.
I'm comin' to get you, God be damned if He can't see it my way.Cause if He does
I'll cut Him in thirds

I'll cough up a prayer for Him.
My blood damns you Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.Then I'll wage war against anyone
that dares to stop me from...
I'll find you
I'll rescue
you from the light my love.Feel the heat of their blood on the side of my throat
I can't get their taste of my tongue.
And I chew through the bones
Killed their kids burned their homes
I felt the sharp soot in my lungs.But you told me "no."
You left me because
you just couldn't love me.
But baby, it's too late, their all dead; what the hell did I do?What if you stayed?
What if you did?
What if you wanted to?I'm sorry I loved you
It's all I think about...(Da da da da
da da da da
da da da dadada)(Choir - oooo, oooo)(Da da da da
da da da da
da da da dadada)(Choir - oooo, oooo)
