Tonight we call out 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 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 that we pray
Will take away dismay til our dying day
Brave
Astray! Astray! Take my pain away
Strike my nights and darken my days
Abysmal and dismal, so deep in disarray
Make me pay
Make me pay
Oh, 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 let's 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."
Get away from all the pain that ferments this place
Where we wallow in sorrow and win first place
With grace
Astray! Astray! Take my pain away
Strike my nights and darken my days
Abysmal 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
