The Original Soundtrack of The Last Plot in Revenge

Dark Harvest, Pt. 1

Nothing Lasts Forever

It’s been a soggy November ever since I remember
Even in the summers mad heat,
And these metronome johns make the time ramble on
And provide me with something to eat.

But you won’t age a day, least that's what they say,
If you don’t look your face in the mirror.
And in springtime there's plum, but spring ain’t where I'm from,
And there's no way to get there from here

Time, it ain’t time that I'll miss when I'm gone
Because time's the one lover I had who did me all wrong
Never saw light of morning that didn’t fade into evening in
Time, like a man who won’t make up his mind
Was to carry me through all my days
But instead he just spins life away

Working girls are like clocks, but it beats darning socks
And the hours they suit me just fine
When I ain't making hay I don’t keep track of the days
I just keep vinegar out of my wine

Time, it ain’t time that I'll miss when I'm gone
Because time's the one lover I had who did me all wrong
Never saw light of morning that didn’t fade into evening in
Time, like a man who won’t make up his mind
Was to carry me through all my days
But instead he just spins life away

03. Peaches' Theme (Introduction to Revenge)

Close your eyes, let the dream begin again
There he is, that's the killer, can you picture him? (That's him)
Just the shadow of a man, a bullet fired long before your world began
A thing more terrible than fate, it’s not the rule of love or hate
But the instinct of volition coming through your gate

Better hush beneath the covers, now hess at your door
Or just lie still, it ain’t you that he’s looking for
Another stranger in the night, it ain’t your business if he's wrong or if he’s right
A thing more terrible than chance, a crime forgiven in advance
When the finger pulls the trigger
Blood will fall everywhere but on his hands (We all fall down)

Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love commits me here
Every day be at my side, to light, to guard, to rule and guide
With all I do, and all I say, from your path I will not stray
Now keep dear family close to thee, and in death we’ll be joined through Cavalry
Amen

In the morning time to take a stand (We all fall down)
We'll have to strike in revenge if we want the upper hand (We all fall down)
The execution of a plan is something bigger than the life of just one man
Like a campfire in the night there’s no need to justify it
It's the feeling of the darkness that surrounds you that makes it right

Pick your heroes wisely lest they fall to the ground
Well, goddamit we all fall down!

04. A Lullaby for Bad Dreams

She gave him dynamite sweats and dry heaves of regret
He gave her brush burn thrills and incubus kills
But promise was a fruit that grew bitter on the vine
Cause neither one plucked it. Were they waiting for a sign?

Or did they know that love fails, but blood keeps the heart warm
Love fails, but blood keeps the heart warm
You see, a knife just wants to cut and a wound just wants to bleed
But a cut will scar with time and a knife has other needs

So be careful when you grind a blade or else you’ll lose the edge
Be careful of a spiteful darling for who could wind up dead
Because... love fails, but blood keeps the heart warm
Love fails, but blood keeps the heart warm

No one knows and no one cares
And no one sees the seed of despair
That grows in the heart when time drags on
And grows into something horrible
And all the worms in the earth beneath a fallen horse
Or the things that live in a rotting corpse
All the world (*)  that turns and fades and burns
Knows the law of love’s diminishing returns
But it ain't none of your business, it ain't your concern
Just the heart that dies, yeah, the heart that yearns

And that's the difference between patience and betrayal
That's the difference between patience and betrayal
