"Dark (Andy Gray Mix)"

"Dark (Andy Gray Mix)"


I've been waiting here
Waiting for faith
And the word to fall.
Now the darkness comes
And I'll pray for
The end of us all.

Don't let the dark into me
We killed the angels that warned us of you
Don't let the dark into me
We raised the tower of Babel for you
Don't let the dark into me
We let the children build temples for you
Don't let the dark into me
Don't let the vengeance of Heaven be you

So pray to me, I'm the Lord's new disease,
Look down into the face of God.
Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah,
The one true divinity.
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter,
Who said I'd save anyone?
So bleed for me, I need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind.

Don't let the light shine on me
I am the poison that feeds life to you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the demon that waits inside you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the ghost that reminds death of you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the darkness that crawls into you

"Dark Sunday"

"Dark Sunday"


You're like poison
You smile at me
Talk of love.
'He' will forgive me
If I confess.

Your dark Sunday
You lied to me
And so I
Replaced God
With a picture of my car.

I don't like this
I don't like this.

I'm on the E kick
So heaven's in my head
I'm in Outland
Shame on me.

I want pictures
People come, people go
D'you think God
Will forgive me soon?

You won't like this
You won't like this.

Rip it up
Rip it into pieces
Rip it up
Rip it for good.

Touch me, touch me.

He won't like this
He won't like this

'He' won't touch me
I can't dance and I can't sing
I'm not stone shape
But time runs out.

I don't like this
All I see is cold and hard
All I can do now
Is break 'the word'

I don't like this
I don't like this.

'He' will love me?
Well thank him
For nothing.
I need that like
I need a disease.

So pray for me.
I don't mind
I don't care.
I've found love
It's an American machine.

I don't like this
I don't like this.

"Dead Heaven"

"Dead Heaven"


Thought I was asleep
Lost to dreams
I was dying in a big machine
Didn't think the voice that called me
Could be real.

Thought I woke up
Lost my faith
I was staring at the face of rage
Didn't think I'd see the demon in "His" heart.

Thought I saw blood
Turn to wine
A vision from the angel wars
Didn't think I'd find the saviour in the dark.

Thought I saw a light
Tear the storm
Showing me the way to God
Didn't know that Heaven died and went to Hell.

Blessed is dead Heaven
Blessed are shadows and pain
Blessed is dead Heaven
Blessed is death in "His" name

Thought I saw rain
Black and cold
Falling on a child's grave
Thought I saw an angel laugh and piss on it.

Thought I saw a dance
Strange and cruel
Swaying to the screams of men
Thought I saw the Lord's disciples laugh at that.

Thought I saw love
Sacrificed
Mary under three wise men
Thought I saw the Virgin look at me and cry.

Thought I saw a cross
And Jesus dead
Burning in the midnight sky
Thought I saw God dancing in the flames.

Glory is dead Heaven
Glory is shadows and pain
Glory is dead Heaven
Glory is death in "His" name

"Do you confess?"
"Cleanse your sin"
"Do you believe in the word of God?"

Welcome to dead Heaven
Welcome to shadows and pain
Welcome to dead Heaven
Welcome to death in "His" name

"Dead Sun Rising"

"Dead Sun Rising"


We come, we go
We can remember "The Dark"
No songs, no words
Just whispers that wait for you to sleep

And when you dream,
We'll come for you and breathe in your pain
We've seen such things
Hide them from you and so keep you pure

I've seen gods bleeding
I've seen worlds burn
I've seen stars falling
And I've seen a dead sun rising

We live, for you
We keep you safe
We keep you unknown
We die, for you
Like rain we fall until you are born

We are the lost
Without you we are all that was wrong
We are the last
Without you we are the sigh in the wind

I've watched gods bleeding
I've watched worlds burn
I've watched stars falling
And I've watched the dead sun rising

And I've watched the dead sun rising
And I've watched the dead sun rising
And I've watched the dead sun rising
And I've watched the dead sun rising
And I've watched the dead sun rising
And I've watched the dead sun rising
And I've watched the dead sun rising

"Deadliner"

"Deadliner"


So I close my eyes and drift into sleep,
But something is here,
In the dark, in the dream.
Like a cruel wind clutching my heart,
I feel more than I see,
Like a clue to a nightmare that I can't believe.
Then it touches me and I try to scream,
And a thought tears me inside.
And I will do anything,
Anything, you understand?
Just to wake up.

Sometimes it almost makes me cry.
Sometimes it seems to call my name out loud.
Sometimes it feels like I'm alone
And then it comes for me again.

I'm told it's called the un-reality dream.
I'm told it's called the great American lie.
I'm told that this is like the vengeance of God.
I can't believe that God would do this to me.

I've known fear many times, but nothing like this.
I'm so scared I can't breathe.
I know I'm asleep, but I know this is real,
And no one can help me here.
I'm deep inside something, and I may never come back,
And then it was gone,
And then I realised that the rush brought it in,
And I will never sleep alone again.

Sometimes it almost breaks my heart.
Sometimes I swear I hear it laugh at me.
Sometimes it feels like I could die
And then it leaves my dreams again.

Feels like I'm fighting the possession of my soul.
I'm told that this is called the sickness of need.
I've got to cut the sex connection and slide
A word of warning to the weary and wise.

"Desire"

"Desire"


Is this desire
Or a disease?
If I surrender
Will you come for me?
Will you come for me?

Is this your mercy
Or sacrifice?
No absolution
If you come for me.
If you come for me.

So will I suffer
Humility,
Divine forgiveness,
When you come for me?
When you come for me.

"Devious"

"Devious"


I remember one girl
Saw her again in a magazine
Front cover, big star
Showing things that I'd never seen
Well maybe

Can you feel it? Can you?

I remember one girl
Who'd believe she'd be so devious
Bad decision, bad move
She told the papers everything
Well maybe

Do you need it, do you?
Do you want it, do you?
Come and get it

I remember one girl
She'd only make friends in expensive cars
Television, good wine
Leather seats and a friend of mine
Well maybe

Something's coming
Oh no

"Devotion"

"Devotion"


Charm up, strange down
Old face, new sound.
Same kick, same pain
Same reason, same game so.

Dance, let's move.

I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm too old, I'm too thin so?
Motion, I'm in love
One night's enough so.

Dance, let's move.

You can play
You can lose
You can't win
('I'm still looking for rhythm')
You can choose

Move up, I don't like this motion
Move out, I don't like this feeling
Move up, I don't need devotion
Move out, I don't need a reason.

'And I'm still looking for the rhythm.'

"Do You Need The Service?"

"Do You Need The Service?"


Do you need the service?
Do you need to call me daily?
Do you have reasons for calling at all?

Is something on your mind?
Is something wrong? I get the feeling
That you're laughing at my quiet surprise

My silhouette is changing
As i'm aging by your window
And I focus on a light by your face

Call me 'the operator'
Making comments "he's so technical"
Or "I've absolutely nothing to do"

Recycle all my photographs
I'll leave a picture of the queen
And no one has to know I was there

Me, I'm so ashamed
You're all connected to my number
And the conversation's only polite

I'll wear my old grey raincoat
Just in case you're 'confidential'
Make up stories like "the screen fades away"

Today it's in a taxi
By the station, and it's raining
And I wonder how they all made it before
