Across the floor, in the hand of where we drove the drill
A cautious ear to the mouth of your confession
Think of all the things we put him through
In the face of his god, would he tell the truth?
Still, recorded were the words that dribbled out his kiss
When eyes go blind in this man of what could once become
Sever the limbs off his torso, in sleep
And burn what remains so the world may now see
No longer will we wait for your answers
Back to the hell where you've come from
Think of all the times you've once had
Write them in a letter that says goodbye
You'll listen to reason
While you're face down in the dirt
You'll stomach the hurt
And break for him here just how much he's worth
Slowly discarded were the remains of his lonely youth
Among the alley where the dwellers scare to notice
Picture a young boy in pieces and streets with leveled malfunctions
No name to be called redeemer
We'll fix him, restore him
With the love is no other
Think of all the things you did before
Write them in a letter that says reborn
You'll listen to reason
While you're face down in the dirt
You'll stomach the hurt
And break for him here just how much he's worth
Following you across the interstate walking away
I'll fire on
Following you across the interstate walking away
I'll fire on
Following you across the interstate walking away
I'll fire on
On the wrong way out
On the causeway to neverwhere
On the wrong way out
On the causeway to neverwhere
On the wrong way out
On the causeway to neverwhere
Dear my friends, in the time we've spent
Forever after beyond this, when will our nightmare ever end, end, end?
Dear my friends, in the time we've spent
Forever after beyond this when will our nightmare ever end, end, end?
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Forever you will, forever you will learn
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Forever you will, forever you will learn
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Forever you will, forever you will learn
A cautious ear to the mouth of your confession
Think of all the things we put him through
In the face of his god, would he tell the truth?
Still, recorded were the words that dribbled out his kiss
When eyes go blind in this man of what could once become
Sever the limbs off his torso, in sleep
And burn what remains so the world may now see
No longer will we wait for your answers
Back to the hell where you've come from
Think of all the times you've once had
Write them in a letter that says goodbye
You'll listen to reason
While you're face down in the dirt
You'll stomach the hurt
And break for him here just how much he's worth
Slowly discarded were the remains of his lonely youth
Among the alley where the dwellers scare to notice
Picture a young boy in pieces and streets with leveled malfunctions
No name to be called redeemer
We'll fix him, restore him
With the love is no other
Think of all the things you did before

Following you across the interstate walking away
I'll fire on
Following you across the interstate walking away
I'll fire on
On the wrong way out
On the causeway to neverwhere
On the wrong way out
On the causeway to neverwhere
On the wrong way out
On the causeway to neverwhere
Dear my friends, in the time we've spent
Forever after beyond this, when will our nightmare ever end, end, end?
Dear my friends, in the time we've spent

Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Forever you will, forever you will learn

Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Forever you will, forever you will learn
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Forever you will, forever you will learn

This song is directly related to the Armory Wars, an ongoing series of comic books written by the band's singer. 3 Evils represents the 3 "evil - related" acts happening around Heavens Fence (the universe the comics take place in). The 1st act being embodied in shadow, the 2nd love & the 3rd both. Key lyrics from the song: "Pull the trigger & the nightmare stops" are actually the exact words that come out of a character 'Sizer's' mouth before he's killed by another character 'Mayo'. Sizer is a hulk-like creature who is captured & torn apart by 'Mayo'. That key lyrics line is something Sizer was yelling at Mayo, begging him to kill him so that the interrogation can end.
