We have seen the burden God has laid upon the human race
All the oppression that has taken place under the sun He tests us so that we may see we're just like the animals All go to the same place - all come from dust, and to dust return What can we do other than work, sleep, and do the best we can? People's hearts full of evil and no one knows whether love or hate awaits If two lie down together they will keep warm But how can one keep warm alone? God's in heaven and you're on earth So let your words be few We are wolves Under the moon This is our song We have loved And we have lost We're ready to go Oh, one last dance In this burning church We search the ruins Slain but standing A thousand lamps The holy mountain The sleeping lions All burning sand The smell of blood Eternal war We are wolves This is our song We're ready to go Oh, one last dance One last dance 02. Russian Doll
She was born in 1989
In a hidden corner By the White Sea Eyes wide closed A stolen object Of wanton desire Sweet nothings in her ear A little red rose Running with the wolves It's our secret (two of hearts) Racing through the night Crossing the love (two of hearts) One inside another In the trunk of a car (two of hearts) One inside another She was born in 1989 In a hidden corner By the White Sea Eyes wide open A stolen object Of desire Face down Under the influence Love is a kind of crime A broken promise It burns like hell When things come crashing down A dead man's hand A smoking gun A story within a story It's such a crying shame (two of hearts) Racing through the night Crossing the love (two of hearts) One inside another In the trunk of a car (two of hearts) One inside another 03. Machine Guns And Peacock Feathers
On the eve of the ninth moon
The world's on fire Michael and his angels Versus the dragon Icarus is falling Tempting faith Nothing to hold onto Against the dying light Carry the milk or pierce the body with Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers Altered organ function Computers, democracy and nervous disorder Swords and machine guns Flowers and feathers Altered organ function Nervous disorder It's two minutes to midnight In the garden of delight And do androids dream Of electric sheep? Barrels are burning Great art will be destroyed The sleeping beauty Of the wasteland Carry the milk or pierce the body with Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers Altered organ function Computers, democracy and nervous disorder (Swords and machine guns) Swords and machine guns (Flowers and feathers) Flowers and feathers (Altered organ function) Altered organ function (Nervous disorder) Nervous disorder Carry the milk or pierce the body with Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers (Flowers and feathers) Altered organ function Computers, democracy and nervous disorder (Nervous disorder) Swords and machine guns (Swords and machine guns) Flowers and feathers (Flowers and feathers) Altered organ function (Altered organ function) Nervous disorder (Nervous disorder) 04. Hour Of The Wolf
I lie and wait
And stare into A dark And endless night Haunted by Images I lie and wait And stare into The vampire at the door (A dark) And endless night Haunted by Images The night of broken glass (I lie and wait) And stare into The sprinkling of the earth (A dark) And endless night The woman without a face (Haunted by) To vanish without a trace (Images) The night of broken glass The vampire at the door (I lie and wait) And stare into The night of broken glass (A dark) And endless night The sprinkling of the earth (Haunted by) The woman without a face (Images) To vanish without a trace (I lie awake) And stare into The night of broken glass (A dark) And endless night The sprinkling of the earth (Haunted by) The woman without a face (Images) To vanish without a trace 05. Apocalypse 1993
A goat's on the scene
With a song of fallen tears The story's unfolding Ezekiel, Chapter 9 The word of King David Shall bring you paradise Just don't leave the mountain For all will be revealed The brides of the Lamb The secrets of the Seven Seals Who is this man they follow Into the eternal? Killing old and young Leave the family alone Twenty-three holy children [David Koresh: "I'm sorry some of you guys got shot But, uh, hey -- God will have to sort that out, won't he?"] They're outside in the garden Playing with guns The kingdom of the fall Coming soon at the crack of doom The first and the last Light of the world Shines for those who Remain in the house Dying for what they believe Dying for you and me Who is this man they follow Into the eternal? Killing old and young Leave the family alone Twenty-three holy children 06. Little Boy
A hard rain, more thunderous
Than drums A golden eagle The solar symbol In the skies It's a movement Of fearful symmetry Than drums A golden eagle The solar symbol In the skies It's a movement Of fearful symmetry Ectothermic Dancing snake The Naked Skin Flowers of Evil They spread Twist and turn In the killing fields Chiaroscuro The temptation Gold Narcissus Who can resist? Saint John The Baptist His head on a plate In the killing fields Ectothermic Dancing snake The Naked Skin Flowers of Evil In the killing fields The solar symbol In the skies Who can resist It's a movement They spread Twist and turn (Narcissus) Flowers of Evil 07. Nostalgia
Norway - 35 years ago
Rewind the tape A place where wild flowers grow The city by the sea It was beautiful when we left The autumn leaves Brothers lying hung Forever young Thinking back On the lives we used to live Count our blessings Carry our children The Stations of the Cross The growing pains Those old records Spinning over and over and over Over and over The wind under the door The frozen bones The baths of Saint Catherine The candle is burning Faded photographs The instant lights The old house on the shore Forever haunted Thinking back On the lives we used to live Count our blessings Carry our children The Stations of the Cross The growing pains Those old records Spinning over and over and over Over and over 08. A Thousand Cuts
This is the story of two young lovers on a beach
Who found each other by the end of the war They set out to explore the bodies on the shore And what they found - it would hurt them Smoke mixed with fire Pity mixed with pain The waves came crashing Swept them away Confessions written in the sand The pleasures of the flesh The passion Sex and death By a thousand cuts The pleasures of the flesh By a thousand cuts It's a moonlit night in a small town A headless man, scissors in his hand Cuts the hair, cuts the tongues A chalice smashed against the stone The victim's eyes A Satanic church A woman leaps out of the window Two young soldiers at the very end They simply waltz the night away The palace of excess The madness Life and death The breaking need The palace of excess The breaking need |
