I sang Fuck you betta by Neon Hitch.

Then, I looked at Scourge. He was blushing a bubblegum pink. SO CUTE! He smirked and chose a song.

Then the music started.

"Nightmare! (Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged ya down below Down to the devil's show To be his guest forever (Peace of mind is less than never) Hate to twist your mind But God ain't on your side And old acquaintance severed (Burn the world your last endeavor)

Flesh is burning You can smell it in the air Cause men like you have Such an easy soul to steal (steal) So stand in line while They ink numbers in your head You're now a slave Until the end of time here Nothing stops the madness, Turning, haunting, yearning Pull the trigger

You should have known The price of evil And it hurts to know That you belong here, yeah Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare

(While your nightmare comes to life)

Can't wake up in sweat 'Cause it ain't over yet Still dancing with your demons (Victim of your own creation) Beyond the will to fight Where all that's wrong is right Where hate don't need a reason (Loathing self-assassination)

You've been lied to Just to rape you of your sight And now they have the nerve To tell you how to feel (feel) So sedated as they Medicate your brain And while you slowly Go insane they tell ya "Given with the best intentions Help you with your complications"

You should have known The price of evil And it hurts to know That you belong here, yeah No one to call Everybody to fear Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare

[M. Shadows laughing]

Fight (fight) Not to fail (fail) Not to fall (fall) Or you'll end up like the others Die (die) Die again (die) Drenched in sin (sin) With no respect for another

Oh

Down (down) Feel the fire (fire) Feel the hate (hate) Your pain is what we desire Lost (lost) Hit the wall (wall) Watch you crawl (crawl) Such a replaceable liar

And I know you hear their voices Calling from above And I know they may seem real These signals of love But our life's made up of choices Some without appeal They took for granted your soul And it's ours now to steal

(As your nightmare comes to life)

You should have known The price of evil And it hurts to know That you belong here, yeah No one to call Everybody to fear Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare!"

I looked at Scourge and smiled. He smiled back. "Wow! That was cool, Baby!" I smiled. "Thank you." He smiles. He sang Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold.

Soon, Manic started.

"This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for the faith-departed I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:] It's my life It's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground For Tommy and Gina who never backed down Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake Luck ain't even lucky Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:] It's my life And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus:] It's my life And it's now or never 'Cause I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive

[Chorus:] It's my life And it's now or never 'Cause I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life!"

Manic and I bro-fisted and chuckled. We love that song since we were children. He sang It's My Life by Bon Jovi.

Soon, Lancelot started. Can't believe a Knight can sing.

"Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know 'Cause a bottle of vodkaisstilllodged in my head And some blond gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed As I dream about movies They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake upand french kiss the morning While some marching band keepsit's own beat in my head While we're talking About all of the things that I long to believe About love,the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is Baby you're allthat I need

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I'llsleep on abed of nails Iwanna be just as close asthe Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away each stepthat I take's on my way home A king's ransom indimes I'd give each night To see through thispay phone Still Irun out of time or it'shard to get through Till the bird on the wire fliesme back to You I'll just close my eyes, whisper baby blind love is true

Iwanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I'llsleep on abed of nails Iwanna be just as close asthe Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig'scrooked And she'sgiving me the eye Well I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died

Ooh yeah

Now as you close your eyes Know I'll be thinking about you While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again Tonight I won't be alone But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend

Iwanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I'llsleep on abed of nails Iwanna be just as close asthe Holy Ghost is And lay you down

Iwanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I'llsleep on abed of nails Iwanna be just as close asthe Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses..."

I looked at him and clapped. "Nice!" I smiled and he smiled back. Scourge growled and snarled. I glared at him as he stop growling and snarling. Lancelot sang Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi.
