Across the desert of the burning dark
Darkness which illuminates you
There's a place you've always wanted to be
Whose pleasures always did escape you
It's always been so out of reach
Nothing so near ever felt so far

And now it's here within your grasp
A never ending burning says it all

As he drive into the darkness
In front the future behind you history Oh-o
Caught alone in the dark night
Do ya think that the way it's supposed to be?
Ya don't believe your eyes
Cause all they see is lies oh yeah

You better run from the holy man
The eyes that will are set upon you

Listen not to verse and prayer
Songs that thrill, our voices tempt you

The inner flame has fear of death
Never has light ever seem so dark
Pilgrims of sabbocrasy hear the hounds of heaven as they bark

As he drive in to the darkness
In front the future behind you history
Caught alone in the dark night
Do you think that's the way it's supposed to be?
Ya don't believe your eyes cause all they see is lies

I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream

As he drive in to the darkness
In front the future behind you history
Caught alone in the dark night
Do you think that's the way it's supposed to be?
Ya don't believe your eyes and all you see is lies

I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream

I witness a time and a place that never dies
Still frozen in time
This darkness the only place that I can hide
I witness a dream woah just a dream

Don't come closer, cos it ain't safe here.
Just turn around now and walk away.
I gotta tell ya, there are no rules here.
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there, behind those eyes.

When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you
And young ones crying with their heads to their hands.
When you talk about saving the souls of the faithful,
You can't help thinking you've got blood on your hands
From a cross of thorns,
Cross of thorns.

Tongues of fire always talking, wasted words that ring in my ears.
We're still waiting, losing patience, with all the lies of four hundred years.
I gotta tell ya there are no rules here.
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there, behind those eyes.

When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you
And young ones crying with their heads in their hands.
When you talk about saving the souls of the faithful,
You can't help thinking you've got blood on your hands.

We gave you yesterday and now you want today.
Oh from the hands of death we take our daily bread.
Now all we do is choke, and the words that you once spoke fade away,
Fade away.
Look at what you've done,
It's a cross of thorns,
Cross of thorns.

Take away oh this cross of thorns.
Look at what you've done, woah.
Look at what you've done.
It's a cross of thorns.

When a promise is broken and noone trusts you.
You've got blood on your hands from a cross of thorns.

Mortal eyes, looking through a veil of dreams,
Hypnotised, an ever living soul with wings,
Think you're god but you never had control.
Think you're loved but there's no one there at all...

My colours all run dry, and now I see the world in black and white.
It's too late now, it's time to kiss the rainbow goodbye.

Poison tears running from a palsied face,
Satan nears, descending on the human race,
Think you're god, don't you wish you had control.
Think you're loved, but there's no one there at all...

My colours all run dry, and now I see the world in black and white.
It's too late now, it's time to kiss the rainbow goodbye.

Listen to the wind, hear the gospel blow.
Tell me that you don't hear what I'm hearing and I let you go.
Look up to the sky, put your trust in me.
Tell me that you ain't feelin' what I'm feelin' and I will set you free.

Alright.

Look into the flame, see the embers glow.
Tell me that don't see what I'm seeing and I will let you go.
Taste the holy blood, runnin' from my veins.
Tell me that you don't feel what I'm feelin' and I'll take away the pain.

Yes I will now, oh yes I will.
Oh oh it's time to kiss the rainbow goodbye.

Reach out and take for me, fruit of the poison tree.
Give me your body and your soul.
My youth is fading fast, years melt into the past.
This mortal life will take it's toll.

I'm sick and tired of losing, you find this so amusing.
It's all I have to keep myself in this state I'm in.

This spark of nature's fire, my only one desire.
This world is hanging by a thread.

I'm sick and tired of losing, you find this so amusing.
It's all I have to keep myself in this state I'm in.

People always tried to change me, alter everything I am.
So many faces staring in on me, you left me in this state I'm in.
Virtual death (death death death death death death).

You may think this existance, is just a human weakness.
Inside my mind it's near the end.

Virtual death (death death death).

I'm losing. I'm fading fast. I'm dying (dying).
Virtual death.
I'm floating. I'm fading fast. I'm dying (dying).
Virtual death (death death death).

In the daylight, comes darkness.
On the verge of night a fear is born.
Sweeter than the dream, the reality of you.
Immaculate deception. Deception.

From the spirit runs poison, and the wheel of fortune is ever still.
Sweeter than the light, the darkness of your soul.
Immaculate deception. Deception.

Something has touched, the spirit inside.
Once there was love now there's a void.
Nights of deception, ghosts in my mind.
Am I bewitched, slave to desire.
It's knowing that time keeps rolling on, night after day, day after night.
It's knowing that feeling of coming home to where my spirit lies.

It's knowing that feeling of coming home to where my spirit lies.

There's someone out there holding candles to the sun.
Then an answer says that peace will come around.

Young life, too young, who's eyes are choking.
Can't rest, can't sleep for dreams that set you falling.
Don't feel the hunger.
Can't drink no holy water.
No light in these eyes.
No place for dreams at all tonight.

When the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that holds the knife.
And the knife that cuts the cable
Is the spark that feeds the life.

No grave could be deep enough, down to hell if we were able.
The veil of life was pushed aside by the hand that rocks the cradle.

The oath you take is sacred, to save not steal the life.
Like the ending of the sweetest soul that looked through human eyes.

No grave could be deep enough, down to hell if we were able.
The veil of life was pushed aside by the hand that rocks the cradle yeah.

Young life, too young, whose eyes are choking.
Can't rest, can't sleep for dreams that set you falling.
Don't feel the hunger.
Can't drink no holy water.
No light in these eyes.
No place for dreams at all tonight.

It's the hand that rocks the cradle.
It's the hand that steals the life.
It's the hand that rocks the cradle.
It's the hand that steals the life.

Where do you go when your conscience takes over?
Do you crawl to your corner and cry?
Did you imagine that noone would notice?
Just a secret to take when you die.

All the world is watching you
Every tongue is screaming,
Sinner.

How are your dreams? Do they claw at your sleep?
Making darkness a place you despise.
Where is the god that once was your strength?
Are ya sure he was there from the start?

All the world is watching you.
Nowhere you can hide.
Every tongue is screaming.
Only Satan hears your cries.

When you sin cardinal sin,
You make your bed and on it you must lie.
You must must lie.
And your future's lookin' grim
But did you ever give a damn about the child?
He's runnin' wild.
When you sin cardinal sin,
Don't expect the world will treat you well.

Do you think that God will forgive you of your sins now
When you need to sell your soul?

We point the finger
Sin cardinal sin.
Laugh in your face
Sin cardinal sin.
We point the finger
Laugh in your face
Cause you're no better
Than the rest of the human race.

Sin cardinal sin.
Sin cardinal sin.

Something about the way that you look on me
You watch every move, every word, every fantasy
Got no time for love, there's something on your mind
Got the face of an angel but the stare of a devil inside

Got hell looking up, heaven looking down
People say the woman's got an evil eye
Got hell looking up, heaven looking down
Free me from the woman with the evil eye

I turn away but still I see that evil stare
Trapped inside my dreams I know you're there
Thoughts of happiness you destroyed them all
First inside my head, then inside my soul

Got hell looking up, heaven looking down
People say the woman's got an evil eye
Got hell looking up, heaven looking down
Free me from the woman with the evil eye
