Drag down
Feel this
Fatal heartbeat
So deep

Like the pound-pound-pounding
Industry
Cry out
I heard you
Slowly waking
Drowned out

And slowly making back the writhing line

They cut the bloodline in the center
And injected this hated strain
They cut the bloodline
They left it wanting
Feeding on this youth remains

(And She Goes)
Give me the Light
Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me your Life

Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood

Fallout
That they left here from the time before
Fall down
This throb-throb-throbbing core
Reach out
But the words are so empty
Fall back
And the edges fade to black

They cut the bloodline in the center
And injected this hated strain
They cut the bloodline
They left it wanting
Feeding on this youth remains

(But We Go)
Give me the Light
Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me your Life
Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood

They take away
The very breath
To see it here
And make it hurt
I want to feel this inside-out
All of you have watered-out
I want to try it in this soul
To drink it free
And part it whole
A sacrifice you will not give
You must not try
It will not tear
Writing old
And right inside
You want to find the very heart
Bloodline

Give me the Light
Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me your Life
Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood

They try this fight
To make it free
And dance inside this entropy
They move the cut
They bite the runt
Who'll break it and fall there undone
They're looking hard
The final dead
Another face may part it red
They want to fight
They want to see
Enrapture you
For eternity
For eternity

I'm not asking for favors
Not tonight
I look up in the sky...
All the rockets fall down, fall down
Too many promises
Too many words
Too many faces for me to know

Sometimes I sit among the markers
And contemplate my next life
Says something less sympathetic-
"A little more unconditional respect was buried here"

"But it never lived
And it never died

It never came from them
It was always inside..."

I don't care if time just passes us by
I can stand the change...
But not the cruelty
Too many promises
Too many lies
Too many faces for me to know

Sometimes I sit among the markers
And contemplate my next life
Says something less sympathetic-
"A little more unconditional respect was buried here"

"But it never lived
And it never died
It never came from them
It was always inside..."

(Spoken: Spirits of the Dead by E.A. Poe - 1827) (Not very loud, hard to hear, look on 'The Mystery of The Whisper' to hear it better.)

Circe's getting angry
All she's wanting touch
A little bit of hunger
Satisfaction, doesn't ask for much

She wants to feel intensity
heat watered it down
below to soft deliverance
this heartbeat throbs and pounds

I look around
What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography

I look around
What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography

Welcome to my lair
Said the spider to the fly
Let me bring you ecstasy
Baby, baby, let me try
To rip these coy reminders
From the smoothest plane
And dive deep inside you
To taste the sweetest rain

I look around
What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography

I look around
What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography

Somewhere in the darkness I stand
Watching and waiting again
Somewhere in the darkness she cries

And I hear the silence die
the silence

Her lips are cold like death
and she steals away my last breath
as i reach into her soul and coldly
let her go I let her
lips are cold like death
and she steals away my last breath
as i reach into her soul and coldly let her go
I let her go

Somewhere in the darkness I stand
Watching and waiting again
Somewhere in the darkness she cries

And I hear the silence die
the silence

Her lips are cold like death
and she steals away my last breath
as i reach into her soul and coldly
let her go I let her
lips are cold like death
and she steals away my last breath
as i reach into her soul and coldly let her go
I let her

Now I feel it moving to her
different faces going still
down and back with all this fight
till nothing else matters tonight

Dance back
and glance back to
with all this... here
you have to let me know

Cut whole
cut tight
tragic faces
different bite
send a shockwave
home
gripping closer
gripping go
gripping gold

Her lips are cold like death
and she steals away my last breath
as i reach into her soul and coldly
let her go I let her
lips are cold like death
and she steals away my last breath
as i reach into her soul and coldly let her go

I let her go
I let her go
I let her go

Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself

everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
they stare at me all in black
and when I turn they stare at my back
all these things don't,
all these things can't...
let me go

Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself

everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
and I don't want to be part of your world
and I don't want to see the things you see
can't you understand how I feel?
can't you let me be?

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone

Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself

everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
they stare at me all in black
and when I turn they stare at my back
all these things don't,
all these things can't...
let me go

Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself

everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
and I don't want to be part of your world
and I don't want to see the things you see
can't you understand how I feel?
can't you let me be?

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone

These mortal thoughts
They bind me up
They shackle me
And drag me down

I can't escape
I'm cut too deep
Left hanging here,
In misery

Chains of hate
Chains of affection
Chains that want you and
Chains of rejection
Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you and
Chains that bind

I feel the tug
That pulls me in
This chain of memories
This passion bends

I can't escape
I'm cut too deep
Left hanging here,
In misery

Chains of hate
Chains of affection
Chains that want you and
Chains of rejection
Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you and
Chains that bind

Chains of hate
Chains of affection
Chains that want to and
Chains of rejection
Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you and
Chains that bind

The day is withering
Broken by the weight of time

All shadows cast
Grow longer
Till they smother light
and leave no trace
or evidence
Of the fiery life that has fallen silent,

till new moon resurrection recalls the phoenix
Leave this a monument
of dreams dreamt
Of love shared
Of gods challenged
and victory over mortal chains
Snatched away
In the attempt

All the little children
All dressed in black
With their darkened eyes
And holy artifacts

Mamas watch your babies
Keep them safe and sound
Don't let them play in graveyards
Don't let them find this out

You may be, sorry
You may be, sorry

peculiarities speaking
Arising from their mouths
It must be the devil
Making these horrid sounds
Speak no evil, baby
Your daddy told you twice

Don't be some sort of freak
Lost lonely in the night

You may be, sorry
You may be, sorry

Pallid cheeks and perfumed skin
This midnight love's corrosion
Clandestine fingers wander
Symbiotic fed explosion
comes harrowing cold to these
Another line to feed
like fish within the net
Like babies caught in sleep
Caught in sleep

[Spoken]
Break the stem
Spare the petals this answer
Let me fall quickly
Beautiful still

And when they inter me
Let rain be my mourning
Let thunder cry my demise
And death lay her kiss
Gently on my paling lips

You may be, sorry
You may be, sorry
You may be, sorry

Master, Master, Master
Who could it be?
A portrait of perfect
Femininity
Your teeth are sharp
And your nails are too
Master, Master
I won't mess with you

Oh master makes the velvet touch so smooth
Her skin makes my company flutter and move
I want her
I want her so much
Oh master, master give me the touch

Master, Master, Master
Your skin is so smooth
It pulls beneath my tongue
With its slight grooves
We want to make your heart
Beat quickly love
Fall into the pattern
Of the raptures run

Master, Master let me take this now
You're a little scared
I'll show you how
We'll lie like the angels in this heavenly...
And dance with fire in the patterns...

We stand behind this wall
With this black face
And black hammer

Protects the beating heart
And leave the blood to sour in her veins

Is the myth she offers warmer
Than the one we abandoned
When the door is opened for us?

The answer and the question
Are always one and the same.

(ohhh)

Master, Master, Master
Desperate measures strike
I need to make you make me
Feel real life
Rich to the taste
So sweet the peace
Dancer, dancer
Sexuality
Master, Master come and save me now
Take my consciousness and extract my doubt
I want to, I want to, I want to so much
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, give me your touch
Your touch

Black heart and a hammer
Come and sing to me
Black heart and a hammer

Come and dance for me
Standing where she lay
Dancing on her grave
There's no life to save
Oh, they killed 'em yesterday

All this makes no sense
It dies but it comes again
I just want to win
And never say your name again

Black heart and a hammer
Come and break for me
Black heart and a hammer

Come and die for me
Standing where she lay
Dancing on her grave
There's no life to save
I took it yesterday

All this makes no sense
It dies but it comes again
I just want to win
And never say your name again

Ohh, my black heart
Ow, my black heart
Ohh, my black heart
No, no, my black black heart
My black black heart
My black black heart
My black black heart
My black black heart
My black black heart
(My black black heart)

Usually I get real pissed off and wonder if anyone's really listening to me...

Bring em back on the dead feathers
We once left for the falling birds
Bring them back all of the others
Someone fed them some holy words

I stare rigid and stony
At the hand that holds the sky
write out, spare me the money
That bleeds out of your lies

Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow
Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow

Throw them back on the dead corpses
We once held close in our arms
Throw them back, back where they started
We danced naked for the stars

I stare rigid and stony
And the hand that holds the sky
write out, spare me some money
That bleeds out of these lies

Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow
Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow

Cover your ears
Disguise the sound
Change your course
But don't turn around
The voice you hear will drag you in,
It will swallow you, don't let her in,
Cover your ears
The hurt will end
But you mustn't break
And you mustn't bend
Don't look back
It's all the same
You can't go back to that stupid game

The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
The siren song

When you give up
And when you give in
You'll dash your heart against the rocks

Close your heart,
Close your eyes
Before you fall to all these lies
It doesn't matter,
It will never change
This hated element still remains.
It still remains

It still remains

Cover your ears
Disguise the sound
Change your course
But don't turn around
The voice you hear will drag you in,
It will swallow you, don't let her in,

Cover your ears
The hurt will end
But you mustn't break
And you mustn't bend
Don't look back
It's all the same
You can't go back to that stupid game

The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
The siren song

Don't look back
You've got to be strong
You cannot listen to the siren's song

The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
The siren
The siren
The siren song
(The siren song)
