  • We must play our lives like soldiers in the field

    Life is short, I’m running faster all the time

    Strength and beauty destined to decay

    So cut the rose in full bloom

    until the fear is gone…

    …the fear is gone

    …the fear is gone

    ’til the fearless come… and the act is done

    A love like blood, a love like blood

    ’til the fearless come… and the act is done

    A love like blood, a love like blood

    Everyday through frustration and despair

    Love and hate fight with burning hearts

    Until legends live and man is god again

    And self-preservation rules the day no more

  • been tryna call

    I’ve been on my own for long enough

    Maybe you can show me how to love

    I'm going through withdrawals

    You don't even have to do much

    You can turn me on with just a touch

    Sin City's cold and empty

    No one's around to judge me

    I can't see clearly when you're gone

    I'm blinded by the lights, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

    I'm drowning in the night, when I'm like this, you're the only one that I trust

    running out of time

    I see the sun… light up the sky

    gotta hit the road in overdrive

    the city's cold and empty

    No one's around to judge me

    I can't see clearly when you're gone

    I'm walking by to let you know, I can never say it on the phone

    Will never let you go this time, blinded by the lights, I can't sleep until I feel you

  • Perfect little dream…. the kind that hurts the most

    Forgot how it feels… well almost

    No one to blame… always the same

    Open my eyes… wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up in flames

    It took you to make me realize

    It took you to make me see the light

    Smashed up my sanity

    Smashed up my integrity

    Smashed up what I believed in

    Smashed up what's left of me

    Smashed up my everything

    Smashed up all that was true

    Gonna smash myself to pieces

    I don't know what else to do

    Covered in hope and vaseline

    Still cannot fix this broken machine

    Watching the hole it used to be mine

    Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline

    Of the trust I will betray

    Give it to me I throw it away

    After everything I've done I hate myself for what I've become

    I tried, I gave up…

    (Throw it away)

    (Take me with you)

    Without you, Without you everything just falls apart

    Without you It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

    … It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

  • she took the wind from the sails

    I yearned for love’s true embrace

    this lie it lives… will only last for so long

    left alone… this bewilderment

    wave after wave…

    my dreams with you came crashing down

    washed away…

    let the pain subside, need to find peace of mind

    (love) subsides…

    (this current) divides…

    and just like that, love dies…

    haunted by memories

    …they endlessly replay

    haunted

    …this truth you kept locked away

    raindrops fall, chillingly

    drenching, as the cold bites down

    inviting Death into me

    she embraces with her warmth when I’m in need.

    (love) subsides…

    (this current) divides…

    and just like that, love dies…

    love… is all we want…

synopsis

through the process of a closure in death, ‘Vol. 2’ is not only placing the final nail in the coffin of martyr art, it also marks the true resurrection of joey diabolic.

press

“Who in their right mind dares to approach the work of the tortured genius of Trent Reznor? ...a guy from Newburgh, NY and he assembles such a brutal and exaggerated mash-up version of “Gave Up” and “The Perfect Drug” that it turns your head..” NECROMANCE (SPAIN)

“JoeyDiabolic uses the same speed and chaos that NIN is known for, but is less minimalistic, resulting in a much fuller sound.” Bart Meijer • ARROW LORDS OF METAL (NETHERLANDS)

“JoeyDiabolic is most successful in the concrete-melting eight-string siege.” Kris Hadermann • ZWARE METALEN (NETHERLANDS)

“JoeyDiabolic's end result of "Love Like Blood" has the necessary metal hook to leave you with a good taste in your mouth.” Cesar Luis Morales • NECROMANCE (SPAIN)
