The trouble with attempting hard rock so soon after heavy metal is the potential to balk. Luckily this sort of shit doesn’t bother me.

Touching Story

Father went further than faith healers would 
Mother's what mattered he muttered but good
Brothers insist I broadcast the fact
You're only as good as your final act
It's a touching story

Friends now depend on a diplomatic jest yeah
Policing the pleases, ranking the thanks
Old chums still wielding charms
the armour of amour safest arms

touching story

The fingers that linger on buttons and batons
thumbed through manuals describing grabbing
a piece of the piece de resistance
lust in a sense lost innocence
 
The weird have won a ward
in the inn of the unexplored
The leisurely joints apply pressure points
to the need that exceeds all the others anoints
[CHORUS]
