Lyrics

Blood Red Sky

Blood Red Sky... it is rare in the dawn

& None can sleep... pulling threads from the tapestry

Ffiteen days she has gone

Every hour feeds from your soul

This house is cold

And in the fields their dogs howl...

~ WHICH WAY WILL YOU GO

BEHIND THE THIN VEIL OF SANITY?

THE DOORS ARE OPEN WIDE

AND YOU CAN SCREAM ON THROUGH

WHICH WAY WILL YOU GO?

WILL YOU KNOCK, KNOCK ON HEAVEN'S DOOR?

OR DO THE ANSWERS HIDE IN THE DARKNESS ~

Bitterness, Violence, Hate and Retribution

All of the facade hides your charred and scarred

Heart, you know it ; Heart you know it

Christian Love, Agape, Peace and Absolution

..But can you really mean to let this

Beast walk free?

~ WHICH WAY WILL YOU GO

BEHIND THE THIN VEIL OF SANITY?

THE DOORS ARE OPEN WIDE

AND YOU CAN SCREAM ON THROUGH

WHICH WAY WILL YOU GO?

WILL YOU KNOCK, KNOCK ON HEAVEN'S DOOR?

OR DO THE ANSWERS HIDE IN THE DARKNESS ~

...Or do you walk the middle road where the air is so clear

And the orphaned parents never cry

And no tears will fall

Like petals on the grave

Petals on the grave

Petals on the Grave

Which way will you go? Which way will you go?

Bitterness, Violence, Hate and Retribution

Christian Love, Agape, Peace and Absolution

Which way will you go? Which way will you go?...

Exodus

Didn't want to leave in the summer

As the sun started to smile

And the lovers played their games

I want you...

To be happy

You have so much to give

The Eastern sky holds its promise

But the little things you say,

And the little things you do

Remind me...

I CAN'T FUNCTION WITHOUT YOU, NO...

I CAN'T FUNCTION AT ALL

And the little things you say

And the little things you do

Remind me

Always seems the right time...

But are your reasons good enough?

'Cos the river flows surely to the Ocean

And the little things you say,

And the little things you do

Remind me...

I CAN'T FUNCTION WITHOUT YOU, NO...

I CAN'T FUNCTION AT ALL

I CAN'T FUNCTION WITHOUT YOU, MY LOVE

I CAN'T FUNCTION AT ALL

And the little things you say,

And the little things you do

And the colours that we made

And the memories we played

Remind me...

Autocratic

I don't need anyone to talk to

If you plan to lend your ear

I don't need anyone to share with

I've got all my friends in here

I don't need no catalytic conversation just to 'bring me out'

I know me and that's no consolation

I don't really wanna let it out -

IF I WANT TO LET YOU IN

I WILL, I WILL

& IF I WANT TO KEEP YOU OUT,

I WILL, I WILL

'COS I AM THE AUTOCRATIC SUM OF MY LIFE

AND I WILL KEEP MY GUARD IF I LIKE

Well I know the games you're playing

'Cos I know I've played them too

Just a push in the right direction

And I might dish the dirt to you

I know the kindess & the caring

Masquerading as 'naive'

But no love, no earthly motivation betrays me to honesty

IF I WANT TO LET YOU IN

I WILL, I WILL

& IF I WANT TO KEEP YOU OUT,

I WILL, I WILL

'COS I AM THE AUTOCRATIC SUM OF MY LIFE

AND I WILL KEEP MY GUARD IF I LIKE

Stallions & Nags

One day I'll have a field

And I'll fill it with Stallions and nags

Who will run free and play...

and be cared for and safe

One day I'll have a love

Strong, clever and kind

With arms to hold the universe

But I will be his air, be all he needs

One day I'll have a child,

A life from within

And I will give him everything he needs

To breathe

~ TAKING EACH DAY AT A TIME

TRY TO WALK A CENTRAL LINE

I CAN SEE A FUTURE,

WHERE WE SHINE DIVINE ~

One day I'll break this spell

All of my life enraptured by the voice

Calling me to need it,

To need it just to be myself

But the circle never ends,

You just pay lip service to yourself

You're forever chasing your own tail

And dreams remain dreams left on the shelf

My field is empty now,

This moorland so dark...

And day is night

Destructed as I stand

In this land

~ TAKING EACH DAY AT A TIME

PHONY STEPS ON A CENTRAL LINE

I CAN SEE NO FUTURE,

WHERE WE SHINE DIVINE...

ALL THESE YEARS YOU HELD MY HAND

I REFUSED TO UNDERSTAND

YOU HELD ME BACK

YOU DID NOT MAKE ME SHINE DIVINE ~

No Other Lover

I love it when you're as grand as a mountain

And I feel your strength against me, within me

No other lover can take me, you make me yours for eternity...

I delight when you're soft as a baby

And I feel you curled beside me, around me

No other lover has known me

You've shown me how to love

And who I am

WITH YOUR TOUCH

I FEEL LIKE I'M ON AMPHETAMINE

IT'S TOO MUCH

MY SENSITIVITY SOARS IN ME

& IT IS SUCH

THAT THE BLACK STARS SURROUND ME...

AND I HOLD YOUR HAND AND WE ARE LOST IN THEM TOGETHER...

My heart stops when I see you across the room

And I feel the air, electric, ecstatic

No other love has seen through me

You knew me from the very first glance...

Our empathic dance...

WITH YOUR TOUCH

I FEEL LIKE I'M ON AMPHETAMINE

IT'S TOO MUCH

MY SENSITIVITY STRAINS AT ME

& IT IS SUCH

THAT THE BLACK STARS SURROUND ME...

AND I HOLD YOUR HAND AND WE ARE LOST IN THEM TOGETHER...

Only you my faithful lover

Only you my heart's desire

Only you can take me higher

Only you my love...

My love...

My love.

Murder

All afloat as she will lie

Brazen in her honey eye

Dew on her lips

But dirty hips now

And our vows are poisoned, died

WAIT FOR ME, HATE FOR ME

KILL HER SLOWLY

KILL HER FOR ME

WAIT FOR ME...

Oh, Oh, Oh...

She is not seductress, not beautiful enough

She is not powerful

I can't believe she pushed me over

To silent sleep in death

When all is done I will be the strong one

WAIT FOR ME, HATE FOR ME

KILL HER SLOWLY

KILL HER FOR ME

WAIT FOR ME

WAIT FOR ME, HATE FOR ME

AH...

WAIT FOR ME, HATE FOR ME

KILL HER SLOWLY....

Oooo Oooo Oooo!
