The Sun Is An Acid Eye
We're Corroded With Pleasure Inside
There's A Hole In Your Thin White Skin
Now We'll Never Be Clean Again
Our Hands Are Two Broken Claws
We Scrape At The Ground For Hours
I Buried This Sound In The Floor
To Gain Control Of This Feeling
(Amnesia)
And This City's A Crowded Room
And The Earth Is A Closing Tomb
In My Hand Is Your Perfect Womb
When You Breathe Your Breath Is Obscene
My Heart Is A Lead Box
Ideas Are Shutting Locks
The Air Was Just Turned Off
And You're Sucking From This Machine
(Amnesia)
The Sun Will Not Rise Today
You Children Will Stay Where You Lay
The Oil Is Black And It's Thick
And Sex Is A Void Filled With Plastic
The President's Mouth Is A Whore
When There's Murder The Audience Roars
There's No Room Left For The Strong
Everything Human's Necessarily Wrong:
(Gira, Westberg, Parsons, Kizys)
These are the things I hold onto
These are the things I use to deceive myself
I line them up in front of me
I judge them carefully
Then I throw them all away
I throw them all away
I am a small man
I am not a dangerous man
I love a child
I love a beautiful child
I love a child
I love a beautiful child
I will hold this child in my arms
And caress his soft head
Listen to him cry
Listen to him cry
I can kill the child
The beautiful child
I will kill the child
The beautiful child
This is my life
This is my choice
This is my damnation
This is my only regret
This is my life
This is my life
This is my sacrifice
This is my life
This is my only regret
That I ever was born
This is my sacrifice
As your hands tightened around your throat
I knew that this time you would kill me
And like all the times before
When I didn't struggle
Because there was no use
Again I succumbed
Again the mask melts away
"A Screw (Holy Money)" by The Swans
Keep your head on the ground, push your all up. Move around, shake it, cry,
cry, cry, cry. Open your mouth, here's your money. Open your mouth, thi$ feel$
good. Here is your money, this is love. open your mouth, here is your money.
24 hours, split three ways.
Because you bought one third, you own everything.
Shut off the possibility, and wipe out the imagination.
Now the world stands still.
I'll take it with me to my grave.
Wrap your hands around my neck.
Now choke me slowly, but I won't die.
I know one thing, and one thing only: you are what you learn to need.
I'll surround myself with things that look like me.
And She Sits There By The Wall
Making Holes Where I Just Stood
And Her Hands They Touch Her Face
Like Her Face Is Made Of Wood
And She Holds On To A Memory
Of Something I Never Said
But She Still Can't Quite Remember
If My Eyes Are Blue Or Dead
She's The Mother Of Us All
She's The Victim Of My Sadness
And The More She Tries To Know It
The More She'll Never FIll It
She's A Universal Emptiness
A Universal Emptiness
She's A Universal Emptiness
And A Total Lack Of Faith
And I Saw Her Once Before
Down On Her Bended Knees
Through A Window Of The Church At Night
Confessing To The Broken Priest
She Is Holy, As All Women Are
And She Suffers Like A Saint
Yeah She Touched My Hand With Cruelty
But I Was Punished Far Too Late
She's The Mother Of Us All
She's The Victim Of My Sadness
And The More She Tries To Know It
The More She'll Never FIll It
She's A Universal Emptiness
A Universal Emptiness
She's A Universal Emptiness

his steel heart cracks
and his blood pumps out on the sidewalk

and discolors the walls
and poisons your mind

Now I'm not a man and I don't feel love
And I don't see anything coming down from above
But this world spins slowly and I see a light
Rising up from behind the horizon up into the clear black sky
But I don't see you in my line of sight
And I'll sleep in the sea
And I'll wait there beneath the mud
And forgotten dreams and disease
And what's the secret I'll drain from your soul
And sweet is the sugar I'll drink from your skull
And where is the wound that shines the blue light

With the gift you present to me,
The one no one else would buy?
They would not accept the filthy premise of your most terrible innocence.
So let them say, how were you wild,
For what you really were was tender.
Yes how you screamed, all through the night,
Yet silent tears streamed down through morning light,
Put your hand on my shoulder.
Turn me around.
I'm helpless, I'm spinning.
Turn me around.
Turn me around.
I'll open myself, and I'll never close.
The red rose in my hand is my gift to you.
Turn me around, turn me around.
Put your hand on my shoulder and turn me around.
Over and over, turn me around.

Your lipstick smear across your face,
Now toss your hair in dirty grace.
Pink leather strap on your guitar,
Now spread your legs - how bright you are.
Mmmmmm,
They all know your name, Collie,
Claw your way to fame...
There's a star in her eyes and she knows it,
There's a star in her mind year she shows it,
There's a star in her eyes and she knows it,
A star in her mind yeah she grows it...
And every evening the sun comes up when she goes down,
And every evening the mud fills up her bridal gown.
The little girl inside of you,
Has made her dreams come true.
And tonight you take the stage.
You wear a dress of blood and lace.
You left a stain where you have kneeled
But Collie, you're still invisible...
Your lipstick smear across your face,
Now toss your hair in dirty grace.
Pink leather strap on your guitar,
Now spread your legs just like a star...
And I'd like to eat her breasts and know God,
And I'd like to taste her flesh and grow hard,
And I'd like to eat her breasts and grow God,
When you are old and tired, and sickness breeds in you, I hope you forget me
then, forget what I've done to you.
You were my only friend.
Then I was half alive.
That's more than I could ever ask, but I took your trust and ruined you.
If you were here with me in this room, I'd stand right in front of you, and
beg you to forget, I was ever inside you.
You were the only thing I ever owned, worth anything at all, and still I
took your heart and held it and turned it to stone.
When you are sick and tired, and you're confined to your memory, throw me
out of your mind:
(Gira, Westberg, Jarboe)
Because I love you
I give you this
Don't be afraid of this
You can trust me now
Though we will deceive ourselves
You can trust me now
You can trust me now
Don't be afraid of this
It's not unusual
It's not unusual
Because I love you
You can trust me now
You will never know
You will never know
You can not trust me now
Don't be afraid of this
You can trust me now
It's not unusual
You can not trust me now
You will never know

Twenty four hours, split three ways
Because you bought one third, you own everything
Shut off the possibility, and wipe out the imagination
Now the world stands still

Wrap your hands around my neck

Tou are what you learn to need

And wide are your delusions,
Deep red is the space behind your eyes,
Closed forever is the door to your troom,
But inside there lives the sound,
You despise,
But I love...
Mother, I was wrong.
Someone was here before me and they took the possibility away
And without any control or freedom the elements were laid down
in this way
And so my mind is slowly devoured by the ideas to which it subscribes
And in the end I'm left with nothing except the memory of
believing my own lies
And where are you now, my most unfortunate lie?
The light shows my face in the mirror and my hand as it reaches
to touch
The evidence of pain and delusion and a mind which was never clear
enough
I saw the sun rise in an ancient desert where this moment was first
foretold
And the black water was thick as blood and my hands they were full of
gold
And where are you now, the most lethal, all consuming lie I ever told?
One second burns for a billion years
And time is relative
And light is physical
We feel your body
We feel your feelings
We see the eye of god shine through the citadel
And space is empty behind the universe
The past and future were simultaneous.
Inside your body we feel your emptiness
The light we breathe in is your unconsciousness
And your body disappears,
Burning backwards through the years
And in your hands time was made
And through breathing
You'll erase it
But we can see forever.
Before love and hate
And we will fall right through the wall of the place where we were made
And The Endless Crowds Of People
They Walk Upon This Stone
Where Will Their Memory Go
Where Did Their Minds Come From
And I Was Only A Child
When I First Looked In Your Eyes
And Saw Your Body Rise Over The Ocean
We Saw The Golden Boy Bleed Love
Onto The Sand Like Rain
While We Were Injecting Colours
Into Our Open Veins
And Deep Beneath The Water
The Dead Black Silence Crawled
Far Away Across The Ocean
The Golden Boy's Beneath The Sea
The Golden Boy Swallowed By The Sea
And Love Is Sometimes Violent
And Violence Has No Constraint
And I Can See Inside You
Yes I Can Feel What You Think
And With This Knife Of Silver
I Will Release Your Soul
And Throw It Out Into The Ocean
Nine Million Miles In A Straight Line
In A Place Just Like This
In A Ship On The Water
Where No Dimensions Exist
My Hands Are Holding Your Picture
And The Image It Shifts
I Tear It Up And Scatter It Over The Ocean
She holds a key to the room down there
And I, I will follow, but I'll never fall in
Yeah, we'll suffer for nothing, and we'll never forgive
God said to no one to do what he did
One second in your presence is a miracle of love
One second denied is a miracle of love
The young man is weakness in a lover's disguise
The woman is strong in her warm-bitter lies
How will they hope what they can never percieve?
And how do they love what they fail to decieve?
One second in your memory is a miracle of lies
One heartbeat in your body is a miracle of love
White light on a black sky is a miracle from above
Now the past is untrue, and this breath is a lie
And the sun is an emptiness, that burns through the sky
And this ground it will slide down, down into the sea
And when this body dies, no man will ever breath one word
Of ignorance, for me
So bury your trust beneath the ground with me
And lay your loneliness down for the sun to consume
Now the earth bleeds cold water, in my open hands
But their bodies bleed poison, and they swallow the sand
And we'll walk to the river, where we will die of a thirst
And my fate, it's no question: every fool he is broken
Beneath the same holy curse
So bury your trust beneath the ground with me
And lay your loneliness down for the sun to burn, to sand
Now the past is untrue, and this breath is a lie
And the sun is an emptiness, that burns through the sky
And this ground it will slide down, down into the sea
And when this body dies, no man will ever breath one word
Of ignorance, for me

And lay your loneliness down for the sun to consume
Now the earth bleeds cold water, in my open hands
But their bodies bleed poison, and they swallow the sand

And my fate, it's no question: every fool he is broken
Beneath the same holy curse
So bury your trust beneath the ground with me
And lay your loneliness down for the sun to burn, to sand
I will pray
I will pray
I will go down low
And I will pray to you
Down as low as I can go
I will go there and I will pray to you
I will beg you
I will beg you lord
I will deny myself
I will deny you lord
Though I've done nothing wrong
Never in my live
No no no no no
I will beg you lord
And I will pray for you to forgive me now
I will go down to the centre of the earth
And I will curl up in flames
And I will beg you lord
Take me in your cruel arms
Take me down home
And will say
"Come into me, lord, come in now
Come on in
Praise the lord!
Praise God!"
Come into my heart, sweet lord
Come into my heart
I am open
I am torn apart
I am naked
And I am impure
I am sexless
I am foul
I am ignorant
And I am hateful
Forgive me lord
Come in
Come on in
Praise God
Praise the lord
Praise god
Praise the lord
Now I've Got Nothing To Look At
And I've Got No Pain To Deny
And I've Got No Body To Bleed For
And I've Got No Sun To Pull Down From The Sky
But I'm Saved, Yeah I'm Saved
And I Don't Understand It, I'm Saved
If Mercy Were To Hold Me Closely
And Hide Me In Her Place Of No Pain
The Angels Would Throw Down The Water
They Cried From One Hundred Million Eyes
And I Have A Feeling That's Growing
Somewhere Behind My Sleeping Mind
Yeah I'm Saved, I'm Saved
Yeah I Don't Know Why, But I'm Saved
When Sunlight Falls On Your Shoulder
You Look Like A Creature From Heaven
You're Holy When You Open Your Eyes
And Look Up Inside That Sheltering Sky
And You're An Angel, I'll Never Betray You
But I'll Always Be A Lonely Child
Yeah Still I'm Saved
I'm Saved
Yeah I Don't Deserve It

He brings me roses and incense

When I forget where I am

Oh Jesus, oh jesus: you're my only girl.
You're my only god.
Oh jesus, oh jesus: I follow you now, forgive me now.
I'll follow you down, to a dirty black room, where the air is gone.
I'll lie down on the table, and I'll wait for you to step inside me now.
Oh jesus, you're my only girl.
I'll look into your eyes, until I lose my mind.
Get out of my mind.
Get out of this place.
The air is gone.
You're my only girl.
You're my only god.
If I drink your blood, I will be like you.
Girl I want to be like you.
I will lose my mind.
You're my only god.
I'm weak and I'm slow, when you are near.
Defeated, I'll disappear.
I left myself, beneath your skin.
What were you?
Who was I then?
Look over there, against the wall.
There's a memory there: red hands, blood and hair.
I don't know where you are.
She'll go down there to nowhere soon
She'll stand there still with her head in the moon
I will be her nowhere man
We're not named until the end
Ooh ooh
That girl was so much better than me
But it always goes wrong
There's no cure for the lonely
With loneliness she'll sink in the sand
I feel the heat go out of her hand
We were born with our face to the wall
We only have one chance to crawl
When we laid down there I held your hand
And never feel your body again
Ooh ooh
Cut down the preacher, he just lies
Burn all the books that closed my mind
Destroy it all, it's all untrue

Where no one knows
Where they were before
Or what they're doing where
They are now
I will be there
With my eyes wide open
I will be there

I will be ready
To receive
The new mind
Now I am a man
Now I am a man
But I'm nothing now
And God is mine
Yeah God is mine
Yeah my sin is me
And God is mine

It's not easy to get at your mind.
You dig a hole in the bed and that's where you stay.
I'm alone and I'm burning slowly.
I don't regret a thing.
I loved something once, but it turned into something I don't recognize.
I loved something once, but it burned while I held it in my hand.
No matter how hard I try, you'll pull me back down again.
You'll betray me without any sense or shame.
You'll betray me and I'll burn for your memory again.
I'll burn for your memory; I'll burn for your shame; then I'll take myself
in my own hands.
Then I'll break myself down with my own hands.

I knew I'd do it again
But I could heal myself,
If I could feel your skin
And if I comprehend this moment
I know we'll live again
And if I heal your wound
We will make love again
And now we're slipping through this millenium
We should feel sorry for the people
Can I kiss your skin?
And there's hunger in the desert.
And missiles in the sky
And every soul is interwoven
Before the wrong or right
I know we'll live again
Though it's just a feeling
I know we'll never end

We Came Across The Seas
We'd Fill With Offal And Disgust
And Any Object Industry Required
We Bought, Enslaved, Or We Crushed
And Now Our Minds Are As Naked As The Paradise We
Stripped
And Our Reward Is Our Entropy
Our Emptiness Is Our Gift
So God Forgive America
And Every Human On This Earth
And God Forgive The Ruined Lives

Now I'm breathing the breath of god,
And the cold wind cleans my
Mind
And I'm standing in a ring of fire, and
My haert s made of light
And I fly across the red mountains.
And my hands contain the sky
And earth rolls away in
Darkness, and I ride a piece of
Lightning,
Killing time, killing time
Now they punish our imagination, and
Corrupt our blood with fear,
And infinity's beneath the ocean, but
Oblivion sits right beside
Me here
So we are blind and we're polluted,
And each breath is drunk with
Tears
We'll drift away across tomorrow,
And we'll ride the breath of
Nothing
Through the yers, killing time,
You're My Father
I Obey You
I Want You To Be My Father
I Want You To Be My Father
You Know What I Am
You Know What I Am
I Want You To Kill Me
I'm Weak:
Take What's Mine
Make Me Feel Good
Make Me Feel Soft
Come Into My Room
Put Your Hands On My Throat
Now Choke Me
We'll Die
Make Me Nothing
Make Me Nothing
Be My Father
Be My Father
Think For Me
Make It Right
Think For Me
Make It Right
Put Your Hands On My Throat

And I am the sun
I rise above the world
And when the light goes out
I kill another child
And I am insane
I crawl into your mouth
I grow like a flower
I grow a suicide
And I am the sun
And I am the light
And I am the sun
Yeah I am the light
And I am the dog
I cut out my eyes
Yeah I will nullify
My true love creation
And I am the sun
I love everyone
I live inside your chest
I grow like a cancer
And I am the sun
And I am the light
Yeah I am the sun
Yeah I am the light
I love everyone
Can I steal your mind?
And can I crawl down inside?
And when I am your child,
Can I feed in your eye?
And can I drink the air,
Down in your cold black lung?
And can I breath the sweet,
Sick and lonesome blood?
Love is everywhere.
No we will never escape.
I love you more than my life.
No, we will never escape...
Can I cut out the core,
And steal the food in your head,
And curl my body inside,
Down where it's dark and it's wet?
I love you more than your life.
I love your body and mind.
I love you more than your life.
I'll Walk With You
Through Space And Time
And When Sleep Is Near
I Will Fold You In
I'll Disappear With You
In Clear Blue Flames
And When Our Time Arrives
Now you be the mother,
And I'll be your fool,
I'll hide myself deep inside,
Your crimson pool.
The muddy water runs,
Beneath your folds,
You won't let me breathe,
You won't let me go.
Now you be the stranger,
And I'll be the white-skinned son,
You'll blacken my innocence,
With sugar and opium...
The children were suffocating,
Down in your damp cave,
And you were the mother,
And I was the sleeping slave.
Protect me from violence,
Hold me in your cool lips,
You drug me with kindness,
So I can pretend I exist.
Now you be the oly child,
I'll suck on your breast,
You'll feed me with gasoline,
It's All Right, We're In Heaven.
This Is Heaven, We're In Heaven.
Our Body's Broken.
The Earth Is Moving.
Our Bodies Breathing.
Our Blood Is Moving.
It's All Right, We're In Heaven.
permission is bloodless. ambition is senseless.
don't make a wrong move work with a purpose.
you win or you lose. imitate a slave.
don't make a wrong move learn from experience.
don't be useless.
waste is obscene don't make a wrong move.
come here you freak
i saw you crawling last night
big erection in your hand
you rule the world
you're gonna murder somebody weak
strong men win at violence and abuse
i'm not scared
i'll take what i want
something for nothing
You were wrong to resist nem
I was wrong to forgive.
Now I loathe my own weakness,
But you praise me for this.
There's a place in your future,
Where the wound will be healed,
And the children you injured,
Will rise up, purified,
Then kill your name...
You're afraid of the mirror,
So you can crawl on the floor,
Where you count your perversions,
the punishment fits the crime.
nothing beats humiliation.
humiliation's a disease.
nothing beats humiliation.
nothing beats them like a cop with a club.
nothing beats them like a cop in jail.
nobody beats your head in like a cop in a jail.
nobody hurts you like a cop with a club.
nobody rapes you like a cop with a club.
nobody beats your body like a cop in jail.
nobody burns their body like a cop.
nobody burns your skin off like a cop in jail.
the heat hurts.
OH JESUS, OH JESUS, YOU'RE MY ONLY GOD.
OH JESUS, OH JESUS, YOU'RE MY ONLY GIRL.
I FOLLOW YOU NOW.
I'LL FOLLOW YOU DOWN
TO A DIRTY BLACK ROOM
WHERE THE AIR IS GONE
I'LL LIE DOWN ON THE TABLE, AND I'LL WAIT FOR YOU, TO STEP INSIDE ME NOW. STEP INSIDE ME NOW. COME ON, COME ON IN. OH JESUS CHRIST, YOU'RE MY ONLY, MY ONLY GOD... IF I DRINK YOUR BLOOD, I WILL BE LIKE YOU. GIRL, I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU. I'LL LOOK INTO YOUR EYES, AND CLOSE MY MIND. GET OUT OF MY MIND. GET OUT OF MY HEAD. OH JESUS, OH JESUS, YOU'RE MY ONLY GOD...
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me
Out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Rememeber

Told me you weere through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river

I Love You

Worthless
When silence falls
And light remains
And time is born
Beneath the sun
I'll hide your name.
Inside a word
And paint your eyes
With false perception
And I feel your mind
In everything
And every breath
Destroys a sound.
And I will follow
A false sensation.
And I'll always believe.
Your blood promise
And every breath.
I stole from you
And I never will see
Your perfect body
And you never have spoken
An unclear word
And I'll never betray
There's blood on your hands, baby.
Baby, there's blood on your hands.
Mama's gonna get even with you.
Mama's gonna get you back.
When all the blood's washed over you mama will never forget.
Mama loves you too much, baby.
Mama loves you too much to cry.
Mama loves her darling boy.
She'll hold you close in her arms.
Mama's gonna wash his sweet body.
Mama loves you too much to cry.
Mama loves you too much, baby.
(Gira, Jarboe)
I found you lying where I drowned you
I found you lying where I lay with you
Where I threw you in the water
Where I drowned you in the river
Where I watched you roll away
Where I watched your body roll away
Roll away
Roll away
From everything we think we know
We'll lie down in the warm green grass
And the sun will shine on our pale shape
Our blood will flow black in the dirt
(Gira, Westberg)
Hold onto my hand
Hold onto my unborn hand
Feel what I'll never be
Need me badly
Need what I have
Need what I am
I am a dead man
Now I am a dead man
I am selfish
I am unborn
I am unborn now
I am unborn
Need my love
Need my fake love
Hold onto my hand
Hold onto my unborn hand
Need what I make you become
Blind love
Blind love
I am a dead man
I am a cold dead man
And I am unkind
I am unkind
Feel my hand
Feel my dead hand
Need my love
Need my blind love
Love blind
Blind love
Feel good
Feel good now

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Saw the word
I want to hear
Say the word
I want to hear
Come up behind me and hold on
Come up behind me and hold on
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And close in around me
Say you'll do anything for me
Say you'll do anything for me
Say you'll do what you don't understand
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Come all around me and hold on
stupid snake
big strong boss
break my back
blood runs black
cut my throat
kill me snake
do what i say
Come down off your throne
and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason
I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.
But I'm near the end and
I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and
I can't find my way home.
Come down on your own
and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason
I've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.
Chorus
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
Still I can't find my way home,
And I ain't done nothing wrong,
But I can't find my way home.

Somewhere, through the frozen fields,
Somewhere, beneath your pale and tender skin,
Lies a house, absorbing fear and pain -
Solar, Red, Contained -
And feeding on my dreams.
Somewhere cold, inside the optic wire,
Down where fingers and semen crack and bleed -
There I will be, with my arms spread out and broken,
Waiting for your breath, to animate my veins.
We're not alone: All our thoughts are numbered -
Malignant and cold, animal and hungry.
But I will contain all that ever was or will be,
Then I'll watch my skin erupt, in a symphony of flames -
Screaming out your name, screaming out your name...
Why can't I hide inside your halleable, electric face?
You'd suck away the pain, and swallow down my sickest dreams.
Now my body fgeels like snow, spilling out the shattered screen -
Where will we be then, when all the fear and blood are gone,
Drained into one hundred million open children's mouths -
Screaming out your name,
I see them all lined up,
Like naked children at the wall.
Their skin is hanging off in sheets.
Each face is painted like a whore.
Their blood is shining in the sun.
Their wounds are powdered with white salt.
Their lips are shaping silent words:
I see my name as it spills out.
I see them walking on their knees,
Led in a chain by laughing girls.
I see them sucking on the dirt,
As if inhaling the whole world.
And one by one their throats are cut,
And each one sings his choking song.
And each one sings his lullaby,
And each one falls and then he's gone.
And I feel good,
Yeah, I feel fine.
And I feel good:
I've been waiting far too long...
I see their bodies in the pyre,
Leaking black smoke into the flames.
And all the people stand around,
Shaping lips into my name.
And soon the sun begins to sink,
Behind a wall of dirty air.
I see their bones there in the pile,
And taste the smell of burning hair.
And all the children howl for mile.
The rain spits down a million knives.
I see you running through the field.
I see you running for your useless life.
I feel you choking on your tongue,
I feel the breath attack your chest.
The dogs are ripping at your feet.
I see you bleeding out your happiness.
And I feel good,
Yeah, I feel fine.
And I feel good:
I finally got back what was always,
I need alcohol
Because it opens my blood
I need alcohol
because it empties my head
I need alcohol
I need alcohol
I need alcohol
Force Yourself On Me.
I Know Where My Money Comes From.
I'll Do Anything For You.
When Your Hands In My Mouth I'll Force It Down.
I'll Force It Down In Me.
Hold It In, Take It Out Of Me.
Push Me, I'll Move.
I'll Do Anything For You.
I'll Walk Fifteen Steps Across The Room
I'll Stay There Until I Know Where I Am
I Won't Move Until I Know Where I Am
I Won't Move Until I Remember Where I Am
I Won't Move Until I Remember
Remember Me?
I Should Have Hurt You
But I Couldn't Hurt You
So I Let You Hurt Me
Because I Need You
Dear God In Heaven
I Feel For You
Dear God In Heaven
I Feel For You

I'll Hang For You

Come Morocco Night
The Sand Is As White
As The Moon Is Bright .
Like Birds In Flight
Soaring High
We're Lost In The Light
Come Morocco Night,
You Shimmer.
You're Shimmering.
You Shimmer.
You're Shimmering,
Now the past is untrue, and this breath is a lie
And the sun is an emptiness, that burns through the sky
And this ground it will slide down, down into the sea
And when this body dies, no man will ever breath one word
Of ignorance, for me
So bury your trust beneath the ground with me
And lay your loneliness down for the sun to consume
Now the earth bleeds cold water, in my open hands
But their bodies bleed poison, and they swallow the sand
And we'll walk to the river, where we will die of a thirst
And my fate, it's no question: every fool he is broken
Beneath the same holy curse
So bury your trust beneath the ground with me
Now I just want to thank you
For going insane
Every second that you suffer
Is a loss that I gain
Every breath is a drain down
Down into a hole
And your mind is a shrinking thing:
It was crushed by your skull
Now you f eel time unfolding
Deep in your chest
And your body's expanding
Now there's none of you left
So I just want to thank you
For losing your mind
Yeah you burned just like joan of arc
Purified by the flames
You re alive! you re alive!
Now just want to thank you
For the light that you spread
And magnesium and sulphur
And the fear in your head
And I just want to tell you
You're nothing so new
Every time that you touch it
It'll turn against you
Now your future's a cold thing
Down in the damp ground
And your memory's a lead room
Containing this sound
So I just want to thank you
For killing your mind
All the life that you bleed out
Well I steal it for mine
Why Be Ashamed Of Hatred
There's Nothing Wrong With Burning
I Work Hard For Everything I Own
Everything I Own Chokes Me When I Sleep
Why Be Ashamed Of Burning
Why Be Ashamed Of Burning
You Do What You Want:
Then You Cut Out Your Heart
You Do What You Want:
You Burn Out Your Heart
You Burn Out My Heart
Then You Eat My Heart
You Cut Out Your Heart
Then You Eat Your Heart
You Burn It
Then Eat It
You Burn It
use sex for control
use power for power
use money for cruelty
use hate for freedom
take control and keep it
don't let go
he was your friend
she was your friend
they were wrong
turn against them
sex, power, money, hate
take control and keep it
don't let go
power for power
I want power, because it feels good.
I want power - I'll wash America with blood.
I want power: a clear blue light in the sky.
I feel power, running through my veins and out my eyes
And into empty, godforsaken minds without reality.
I feel power. I feel a sacrifice.
I am dead to right or wrong.
I want power, just like our father knew.
I want power, I'll put my hands in you.
I want power, though the earth is lost and spinning.
I feel power, buried in the ground where twenty million
Died like heroes stealing this same power that I'm feeling.
I feel power. I feel a sacrifice.
Now my blood is feeling clean.
And I feel the power burning like a spear inside of me.
I feel good. I feel right.
(Gira, Westberg, Kizys)
We'll fall down
On broken knees
And we'll cry for you now
We'll cry for your mercy
We believe in love
We believe in love
God save us now
We believe in love
We degrade ourselves
But we dig our own grave
Jesus Christ the Lord
Save us now
We believe in love
We believe in love
God save us now
We believe in love
You said all my life
Would be in vain
If I gave up on anything
I knew to be true
Or a provable lie
So I believe in love
I believe in love
God save us now
I believe in love
And I open the door
And there they lie twisted
And misshapen
They suffer for love
And they're sick to death
Of the dreams they used to have
And they're sick to death
Of their beautiful lie
God save us now
God save us now
God save us
Please
Save us now
We believe in love
We believe in love
God save us now
We believe in love
God save us

Tonight I'll spend the night in Mona Lisa's bed
She'll hide this beaten man beneath her innocence
Tonight no dreams ignite in Mona Lisa's mind
We'll ride a drowning world through the cold dark skies
My Mother Earth
My Mother Earth
Mona Lisa
My mind's an ocean in Mona Lisa's hand
She dreams a hardened world where the water runs red
Tonight my dreams unborn on Mona Lisa's breasts
We'll walk a burning world where the sun shines darkness

When they crucify your body
On the white wall above your bed
The words your body bleeds down
Will describe my happiness
The joy l'm feeling now
As the universe withdraws
Is equal to the pain
My mother choked out from her jaws
As she endured without complaint
Then laid me out into the sun
Like some skin from in her throat
Like a living piece of scum
Like a red sack full of failure
Infested with my future crumbs
Of pleasure pain and fear and hatred
And hunger for your helpless tongue
With your naked back on gravel scraping
And your claws hooked in my neck
You know l'm just your little infant crawling
Down your bloody stinking mess
And all you people I once knew
You betrayed me once too much
l'd like to sew your eyelids shut
While planting seeds of hatred in your guts
Then masturbating slow and lazy
I'll feel the pain that you'll soon feel
When my memories infect you
Love will save you when the ocean splits itself in two
Love will save you when the cold wind blows right through you
Love will save you when the poison eats the precious air
And love will save you from the snake that crawls around down there
But it won't save me
Love will save you from the evil and the greed of ignorant men
And love will save you from the guilt you feel when you
betray your only friend
Love will save you from yourself when you lose control
And love will save you from all the lies your lover ever told you
But it won't save me
Love will save you from the truth when you think you're free
Love will save you from the cold light of boring reality
Love will save you from the corruption of your lazy-minded soul
And love will save you from your selfish and distorted goals
But it won't save me
Love will save you from the black night and the lightning and the ghost
Love will save you from your misery, then tie you to the bloody post
Love will save you from the hands that pull you down beneath the sea
Love may save all you people, but it will never, never save me

The secret sign of a charmed existence
Is the shiny liquid on her lips
And the ecstasy that comes with her image
Grows from the power that the money gives
And she's got a celebrity lifestyle
And she's just floating in space
Yeah she's got a celebrity lifestyle
And all her ch ldren want a suck and a taste of oh her
Celebrity lifestyle
Yeah her celebrity life
And she's just a drug addiction
And a self reflecting image of a narcotized mind
The secret wisdom of 120 days is hidden deep in between her legs
And sexual transcendence is reserved for the wealthy
But is only one joy that money can make
She's got a celebrity lifestyle
And she's got a glowing white face
Yeah she's got a celebrity lifestyle
And she ties her naked children up with wires and lace
Oh her celebrity lifestyle is the product of a celebrity mind
And her celebrity mouth is the perfect image of the end of time
Oh we're alive
Oh we're alive
Oh my celebrity lifestyle
