"Pressure"

"Pressure"


Here is my
Small black box
Filled with hurt
Sent by you

Here is my
Small black book
Filled with lies
Told by you

Here is my
small black house
Filled with fear
Thanks to you

Here is my
Small black heart
Filled with shame
Left by you

See I
See I Don't know

And I don't feel the pressure
And I don't feel the pressure

Here is my
Small black doubt
Filled by tears
Cried for you

here is my
Small black wish
Filled by dreams
Lost by you

See I

See I Don't know

And I don't feel the pressure
And I don't feel the pressure

"Prophecy"

"Prophecy"


We are deceived
Valhalla is falling
We are betrayed
We are lost and forsaken.
He's sold the world
Sold us all to the hunger
The body of Christ
Is as black as his soul.

The word of the Lord
Is the lie of your father
This mortal sin
Is a voice of shame.
Look at the storm
Like a dying apostle
Cruel and divine
Like the ghost of man.

And now you realise
I am the truth.

Worship the dead
The damned and misled
Tortured and bled
Like the voices of reason.
Sacred and pure
Sanctified obsession
Holy and cured
Like a doorway to heaven.

Sisterhood cried
Innocence lied
Purity died
With the angels of passion.
Blessed are they
Who pay homage to rumour
I've seen the light
Shine on the grave of Man.

And now you realise
I am the truth.

And I believed.
Amen.

"Pump It Up"

"Pump It Up"


Send in someone else
I'm tired of romance
They call me 'the game'
And anyone can play.

Won't you come in and play with me?

They call this 'the house'
We have need without feeling
Do you want the shame?
I can't escape from the sound

Won't you come in and play with me?

My heart beats slowly
I'll tear your heart to pieces
I'm the face of love
And this love burns cold

Won't you come in and play with me?

 

[fox69]

"Pure"

"Pure"


I want to feel you hesitate
I want to feel you pull away
I want to feel you realise
That I am not love come to play

I want to feel your pink clean skin
I want to feel your purity
I want to feel you touch my pain
I want to drown in your misery

Hey bitch, this is what you are
Purified, Sanctified, Sacrificed
Hey bitch, this is what you are
Purified, Sanctified, Sacrificed
This is what you are.

I want to feel your innocence
I want to hear you beg for 'Him'
I want to be your animal
I want to be your only sin

I want to tear your dreams away
And show you hopes last sanctuary
I want to dip your wings in blood
And watch an angel bleed for me

"Remember I Was Vapour"

"Remember I Was Vapour"


There's nothing here but us
There's nothing here but us

Remember, I was vapour
Remember, I was just like you
Remember, I was liquid
Remember, I was someone too

Remember, I need others
Remember, I need oxygen
Remember, I need lovers
Remember, I need to forget

[Chorus]

Remember, I am human
Remember, I feel just like you
Remember, I had reasons
Remember, I had friends like you

Remember, I grow tired
Remember, I could end all this
Remember, I have memories
Remember, I need to forget

"Remember I Was Vapour (Live)"

"Remember I Was Vapour (Live)"


There's nothing here but us
There's nothing here but us

Remember, I was vapour
Remember, I was just like you
Remember, I was liquid
Remember, I was someone too

Remember, I need others
Remember, I need oxygen
Remember, I need lovers
Remember, I need to forget

[Chorus]

Remember, I am human
Remember, I feel just like you
Remember, I had reasons
Remember, I had friends like you

Remember, I grow tired
Remember, I could end all this
Remember, I have memories
Remember, I need to forget

"Remind Me To Smile"

"Remind Me To Smile"


We'll take a taxi to the show
We could report by phone
We could remind ourselves that
We must laugh

Reconsider: 'fame'
I need new reasons
This is detention it's not fun at all

Remind me to smile
You know, 'the old friends' line
It gets so I feel like
I'm in this cold, glass, cage

I've got the horrors
Check, over my shoulder
I punch the air and fight but
No-one's there

You you - Oh no
Old scars - don't show
We fall - you see
Crawl crawl - in love
I dive - so clean
Young things - don't scream
Toys toys - so far
Boys boys - you are

[Chorus]

Get off the car
Get off the phone
Move from my window, leave me alone

Keep your revivals
Keep your conventions
Keep all your fantasies that's all we are

"Replicas"

"Replicas"


It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was the shame
But they didn't even try

You see we'd never met
And they didn't have names
There was nothing I could do

So I turned on the crowd
And I screamed "you and you"
"It could have been you"

And they seemed to think
That I looked that way
Or maybe I was wrong

So I said do you know Mr. Wall
And they looked the other way
And then they smiled at me

But the police came
And I said it was me
And I just walked away

 

[fox69]

"Respect"

"Respect"


That's OK
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway

You won't stop
Until I pul you to pieces
Which I will in time
But I'm still curious

You're so young
Not one backbone between you
But you think you'll make a hero
Quite peculiar

You're just boys
You don't know what you've angered
Did you know you're talking to the heart
Of the machine?

Welcome boys
Welcome to the real world
I could almost be sorry
But I could be wrong

I know you
I know what you've been doing
I know where you live
And I know where you are

You know me
I'm the smiling assassin
You know I won't forgive
And you know I won't forget

 

[fox69]

"Rip"

"Rip"


I'll get down on my knees
I'll do anything I can
I'll even walk upon water
I'll give some body disease

I'm so sick with need
I'm so sick with pain
I'll lay before the cross and pray
I'll bleed like holy rain
I've gotten sick of the pain
o dear I pray

HEY HEY HEY

I've done nothing to you

I've got something for you

I'll rip the skin from God's face
I'll say I'm searching for the truth
I steal the light from heavens gates
If it can guide me to you

I'll give life to obsession
I'll give life to disease
I'll give you one last sin or cure
And then I'll do as I please

I've got something for you
