I live for your fond caresses Songs you sing to me Gather me up into your arms I need no-one just you You fill me up with dark thoughts of you The Devil talks to me when you're touching me My lust it burns, deep inside of you Together we are as one We live our lives in passion Full up with thirst I drink your Light and beauty for always Open your arms hold me closely Never let me fall Wrapped up in you. Comforting me I could die here You fill me up with dark thoughts of you The Devil talks to me, when you're touching me My lust it burns, deep inside of you Paradise pales compared to you We burn like Gods of the Sun Never will we be alone Our world will change for no-one And as our live are closing We lie close and hear nothing
I hide myself away in the dark I can't find my way in this hole This twisted life is so cruel I'm so sick I need to find her soul to save me I remember the King And his Queen I shall never forget No finer woman had lay before me Dark and filled with beauty All it took was one lonely kiss Her lips, swollen and red Smothered all over me I felt faint and without control And with great thirst, I drank deeply She gave to her lust and ecstacy We kissed just once her life dripped down on me Even now, in life's closing does she still shine Woman of mine you'll never close your eyes So I hide myself away in the dark And death she bathes with me, in my heart They'll never see what I've seen They cannot know, who I've been The things I've done, they torture me But I need them, for they are me Lust in me, you'll dream of me, life In pitch night I'll be there watching you
Falling, drowning, deeper and forever Choking, sinking, deeper into this ocean Screaming, crying for someone to save me Reaching, hoping, calling to no-one My only sin Was to kill a man Deep was my pаin But I'd do the same again Beat it out, out of me, cut me up And watch me bleed Strike me down, cast me out throw me into the ocean's mouth My only prayer Was to a God Who I don't believe But all the same, I'm on my knees Beat it out, out of me, cut me up And watch me bleed Strike me down, cast me out Throw me into the Devil's mouth Bleeding, weeping, calling to no-one Pleading, alimghty, why can't you hear me My only sin Was to kill a man Deep was my pаin But I'd do the sam again Beat it out, out of me, cut me up And watch me bleed Strike me down, cast me out Throw me into my own mouth Take me away To a better place Far from anyone By myself and leave a gun Beat it out, out of me, cut me up and watch me bleed Strike me down, cast me out Throw me into my Saviour's mouth
Open me And drink up my scarlet Kiss me deep Kiss me deep and love me forever more Bloody love Bloody love inside of you Swallow me Thank God, there's nothing I can do Come with me my friend, come and see the end And let me swallow up your pаin Leave the village lights, step into the night Open your mouth to my bloody rain And at your second birth, we will slay the earth And stalk mankind 'til Heaven burns Just lay down for me, naked for me to see It's just one kiss, that's all I need Take me down Down to the bloody shore Dig me deep, dig me deep And leave me forever more Lay me down Down with all of them And forget me Like you forgot the rest of them
Sickness often, often attends me. I'm ruled by pаin Tortured memories burning my brain. Oh make it end Killed for nothing. Killed by no-one. I was just a boy Weak and lonely, cold and bloody. Give me a hand Cared by many, but I know none. My life has gone Rage and anger tearing through me. Who's God will pay? Made me fight for you. Made me die for you You and your sick God. You hope to be loved We're all swept away, so you can have your day On blooded knees for you. Heaven calls to you But I won't die without Without your heart In my hand
I will be here for you All I want is you When I see your face All the Angels are shamed Lay with me beauty Feel me close to you Take my hand to you Touch you softly. Your warm skin Cover me with you Over me under you Pull me in to you As one we lay entwined All I ever wanted I have, I need never wish again You are heaven sent
The sun will die, On us tonight. The days are gone, For everyone. The holy cry Forever night What have we done? Who killed the sun? We will be on our knees The time has come Thy will be done Holy men pray Return the day For our souls How can we fight, This endless night? Oh, lord Jesus, Will you save us?
I need him To wash me of my sin To take me from this place To heal me of my wounds I need him To clean your mark off me To wipe you from my eyes To strike you from my heart I need him I know, not what, I do or say But I, do what, I say and believe You need him To take you from this place To heal you from your wounds You need him To clean my mark off you To wipe me from your eyes To strike me from your heart You need him You are, nothing to me, anymore I hope, I mean, nothing to you I want a place to hide, somewhere far from your side There is no stopping you, there's nothing you won't do You're killing for your God, the stench that you have trod The world is black to you, until you slay me too I'm wasted under you, I meant nothing at all Thank God I wasted you, no longer will I fall I will live again your grasp on me has gone your downfall and your end At last my peace has come Before I end let me tell you Never lay down for anyone at all
As I draw up my breath, And silver fills my eyes. I kiss her still, For she will never rise. On my weak body, Lays her dying hand. Through those meadows of Heaven, Where we ran. Like a thief in the night, The wind blows so light. It wars with my tears, That won't dry for many years. "Loves golden arrow At her should have fled, And not Deaths ebon dart To strike her dead."
