Remove your veils babe...
If I had possession Of the secrets of your soul I could satisfy, glorify Your body and your mind Of, I feel love, babe I like your look Funky rhythm Baby, take it all the way Heigh, ho, silver She's a long, blonde, loaded gun A spirit of ice until the evening comes Then you hypnotize, tantalize and Lay it on the line And your body tastes like fire and ice With another push I'm gonna... get it inside [Chorus:] Sex religion Sex religion machine Let me feel your body burn And your body's glowin' Brighter than the day- yeah I feel love, babe I love your tender ways Wicked woman Let me- let me- let me Let me love ya best ... My sexy, sexy child [Bridge and chorus] ...It's judgement day, babe Get ready... Get it inside, get it inside Get it inside Oh honey (child), gimme your best [Bridge and chorus] 02. Love Is Pain Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
I see the winter in her eyes
As I turn to go See the pain on her face A frozen rose With the toss of her hair And the bite of her lip She'll ask me so shy "Anything left to say?" And I say "No, no baby, not this time Again- This time it's over You've got to learn" [Chorus:] Now, darlin' love is cruel Darlin' love is blind Love is pain So cry Shed a tear today Shed a tear my baby Love is pain I see our love out of reach Arms intwined with lies What shattered the night Still haunts me in the rain Now you're lost child, lost Like a ship on the storm Your distant eyes Are shadows of others I've known [Bridge & Chorus] I Love you Love is pain 03. Jet Black Music by David DeFeis/Pursino Lyrics by David DeFeis
Naked as an angel
Stone love eye to eye Six gun singing' stranger Dust raised, born to die Funeral train comin' In the hours of the damned Lock your daughters weeping Keep'em from this voodoo man [Chorus:] Jet Black- black as the river flown Black as my heart on a night of love Jet Black- under the burning sky (Black is the love the we used to share) Hidin' on the outside The kill completes the chase Sidewalk screamin' rat race Ev'ry fuckin' day Runnin' from the wreckage Of this burned out paradise Our love becomes a weapon My eyes reflect the night [Chorus] (Black is the space between the stars) ...Oh, you got it right now Blood and gasoline Crucify my spirit Don't gimme your prayers Watch her walk... see the silence Watch the venom drip... ...Drip from her legs Like diamonds.. like wine Cool child... let it go... [Chorus] (She's got the eyes I wanna roll) Jet Black- you got my heart You got my soul- I wanna love Jet Black- black as the night Black is the way.. The world will end. 04. Invitation Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Little child
Love me tender Close your eyes and I'll be there I still hear her last goodbye, ...My love 05. I Dress In Black Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
I dress in black babe,
Nobody sees me I move undercover of night You best believe me I want your lovin' Don't bring me pain With a lie upon your lips I taste your shame When you see me comin' Up and down your street Get ready I know your secrets I know your crime Under desert, desert moons I take my time One kiss of fire My heart explodes With the darker signs of love My mourning clothes When you see me coming Up and down your streets Get ready Get ready babe When you see me coming Up and down your street Get ready for love, child Ready for love Do you know what that means? Woman with no shadow With your golden eyes of love Child, warm my soul Woman with no shadow I want you! Ah, ah, Lord have mercy Oh, my poor soul She's naked, holy light She's the fire down below But the flowers now are wasted In the gardens of my soul Woman love me sweetly Tender child, learn Nature is a temple Angels burn! Woman with no shadow Are you old enough to love, child? Lose control Woman with no shadow With your golden eyes of love Child, lose control Woman with no shadow Open up, baby, Your virgin soul Woman with no shadow Can you heal a heart of darkness Child, warm my soul When you see the lights Above you I want you! 06. Crown Of Thorns Music by David DeFeis/Pursino Lyrics by David DeFeis
The smell of old velvet
Dampness and gloom Her sweat covered body Masturbatin' in her room I know that you wanna believe That I sinned and I lied Let the fire console you tonite It's your turn to cry- cry, babe. Alone with the memory Of the way it might've been Woman it's crazy Pride was the sin A thousand year darkness A season of pain With one Judas kiss You're screaming my name [Chorus:] Wastin' your life away (Baby) It's a crown of thorns You wear Crown of thorns ...My, my... Tracks on the carpet Cracks in the glass Seven years spent in torment- alone Shakin' your ass You walked out on me Couldn't see... That I wasn't to blame Let the lies and the coke and The Poison Shoot into your veins... ...Shoot it babe. Alone with the memory Of the way it might've been Woman it's crazy Pride was the sin A thousand year darkness A season of pain With one Judas kiss You're screaming my name [Chorus] After the face of beauty Becomes the face of despair Bound by the flesh of treason Under the hunting wings Oh, Lord... Alone with the memory Of the way it might have been You're fuckin' crazy Pride was your sin A thousand year darkness A season of pain With blood on your lips... I'm not to blame.. [Chorus] Love lies bleeding... love dies... ...When I was dyin' in the cold by The side of the road You were lying in a warm embrace When I was bleedin' in the rain On an empty street You were makin' love to someone else... Shallow and cruel- you were never true.. What'd I ever do to you? ..Oh, I don't need you... Wear your crown.. fuck off ...Your house is empty- open.. ...Open to the wind and rain... 08. Never Believed In Goodbye Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
The rose that you gave me
Just died today I guess you won't be comin' back And the fire in your eyes Has grown colder now I guess you won't be comin' back And I think of all the love That's come and gone Count the miles child Our hearts are made of stone [Chorus:] Oh, I never believed in "Good-Bye" So, I'll make love to you - One more time (Baby), Let me kiss you tonite It's gonna be alright - Stop your Cryin' (Oh), I never believed in "Good-Bye" I know the nights are longer now I see that shadow on the wall And I can tell by the air It's grown cold again Yes, the winter's comin' on And I think of all the time We've spent apart Count the miles, child The silence breaks my heart. I still want ya By my side Can we keep our love alive? [Chorus] ... Baby, let met kiss you tonite It's gonna be alright Oh, I never believed in "Good-Bye" The rose that you gave me Just died today I guess you won't be comin' back. 09.

[Chorus:] Too HOT to handle Ready for the nite time comin' She's an angel of mercy Too HOT to handle Ready for the nite time comin' She's a run-away child Like a savage flower Forbidden style You got the look of freedom And it makes you wild [Repeat Pre-Chorus] 'She walks the nite on violent whispers, Ravishing the moon-drunk cities Passion and restraint are at war Within me. If I can't posses your body tonite I'll go insane, child. Bare beauty on an unmade bed... Girl, show your love [Chorus] 10. Love's Gone Music by David DeFeis/Pursino/Cook Lyrics by David DeFeis
Don't say that you want love
As you're walking out my door Don't say that you need love 'Cause I can't love you Anymore Lay down in rapture In this crowded town of fear Hang your head in sharne my dear You gonna roll alone [Chorus:] Love's gone It's gone away Highway in starlite You shed your blood upon the sun You lock your love In bitterness And now you're left with noone God, I loved you one time When we walked the world alone The face that love could not Forgive The heart will turn to stone [Chorus] ...I fell you body writhe Like a snake in rny arms Wrap yourself around me, baby Oh, yeah, oh, yeah [Chorus] 12.

Oh, my babe... Meet me in the darkness On the edge of town. 13. Cry Forever Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
I should've known better than to look in your eyes
'Cause that's what got me thinking of the love we had shared Your spell lives on forever- Oh, you captured my heart How could I forget you, or the love we had made Seems like only yesterday, when I held you in my arms And you would softly whisper: "I'll never leave" [Chorus:] Cry forever- cry for the dreams we had Where did our love go, do you ever think of me? Cry forever- cry for the dreams we'll never share You made me love you, then you turned your back upon me now Oh, I remember lying side by side Your heart gently beating, softly with mine Your face just like an angel, smiling up at me The hunger and the passion, when we'd set our love free Now the clock is slowly ticking in this empty room The images are haunting like a candle through the gloom Cry forever... I dreamed about you last night and the vision was so clear Of you and I together with no pain, lies or tears I woke up late this morning, with you still on my mind I could swear that you were with me, I was back there in time Pictures in the night, can't sustain the light of day I need someone to hold me, who'll never fade away Cry forever... Do you ever think of me.. at all? 15. Last Rose Of Summer Music & lyrics by David Defeis
There like an angel
A vision of light The last rose of Summer The last Rose of Summer Bloomed in my sight Alone with the wind And the sun in her hair I've never seen anything so fair And you're all I need All I need... Our love will never die I walk with you, Last Rose of Summer's day Make love to me Wake with the sunrise When dreams walk the sky She whispers, "I love you" Then sings, laughs and cries A song of emotion Borne of angel wings Free as the seasons Where love eternal springs And you're all I need All I need... Our love will never die I walk with you, Last Rose of Summer's day Make love to me ...Sweet love Don't cry no more I'm with you babe... |
