Lyrics


1. EURYDICE

A focused voice reigns down like a firestorm

You know what you must do
Venture down into the underworld to prove that love is true

Eurydice don't follow me
The world has grown so cold
Eurydice don't follow me
My love I'm losing hold

And if my voice won't move the Ferrymen
On my affections alone i'll cross
Then stare into the eyes of death eternal
No matter what the cost

Eurydice don't follow me

The world has grown so cold
Eurydice don't follow me
My love I'm losing hold

Sacrifices and the light
That leads me here through this night
As vision breaks the world grows dim

Persephone argue my case to him
I'll take his word no looking back
The bridge we cross i will not look
And her footsteps i do not hear
Is she far behind me or standing near?

Eurydice don't follow me

The world has grown so cold
Eurydice don't follow me
My love I'm losing hold

Eurydice don't follow me
Now that my dreams turn black
Eurydice don't follow me

There'll be no looking back


2. MONSTERS V 2.0

Hide the window watching
Give hands that push the faces back
Shiver in the alleys
And dying in the cold
Little hands and little faces
What are you running from?
They're creeping on your satin sheets
And dancing in your nightmare

Watching at the window
The ledge which we provide
There's someone up above me
There's someone scratching softly
Little monsters in the chimney
All black and stained with soot
Come creeping to my bedroom
And lead me here to sleep

Dancing in your darkness
Dancing in your fear
Forgetting all your hidden monsters
Shedding all your tears


3. MARILYN, MY BITTERNESS V 2.0

I don't understand how you've done
These things to me
I can not comprehend your lack
Of loyalty

For you i would have shaken down the
Heavens from the sky

But it seems my love was stronger than
This love of yours that died

Did you think it wouldn't hurt?
Did you think I wouldn't feel
When the world came falling down?
Or maybe you didn't think at all
And that's why I feel what I feel now
Did you think I wouldn't fall?

Did you think I wouldn't cry?
Did you think I wouldn't beg
You to stay?
One of these days you're gonna realize
Just what you've thrown away

Now I lie here in this empty bed
And all I think about is you
And I wonder if you miss me now

And if your bed is empty too

(bridge)

Marilyn my bitterness
I've fallen to a stranger nightmare
Marilyn, oh Marilyn
I cannot... find my way / break away

I'll absorb this agony

I'll carry all this pain
I'll wipe away this emptiness
I'll purify this stain
My wings will fold around me now
For once a one was two
And my memory is a monument
That will always stand for you

(bridge)


(chorus)

Now must I go away?

6. THE DYING SONG


Dear Angel,

Where are your warming wings tonight?
It's so cold outside won't you hold me for a while?

And Angel,
I feel alone and unalive
The night is frozen and these tears have stung my eyes

Dreams may pass and dreams may fade
Nothing I love will stay the same
Nothing ever stays the same

So Angel,
I feel so numb and so far away
I can see myself on the pavement where I lay

Oh Angel,
Why do I stare so? What do I see?
Why do these lifeless eyes look that way back at me?

Dreams may pass and dreams may fade

Nothing I love will stay the same
Nothing under heaven stays the same

Dreams may pass and dreams may fade
Nothing I love will stay the same
Nothing ever stays the same


7. LEAVE ME ALONE (SHAFT 20/20 MIX)


Leave me alone - I'm a freak
Leave me alone - make it easy for yourself

Everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
They stare at me all in black
And when I turn they stare at my back
All these things can't,
All these things don't...
Let me go.
Leave me alone - I'm a freak
leave me alone - make it easy for yourself

Everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
And I don't want to be part of your world
And I don't want to see the things you see
Can't you understand how I feel?
Can't you let me be?

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone


8. HERE COMES THE RAIN AGAIN

(Instrumental)


9. CRUELTY - (CRUEL VOCAL MIX)


Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
Falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind,
We commit indiscretions, and omit our sins from sight,
In a world of intangibles, too many things seem right

No hand to scribe, the sinking sickness I have seen,
No face to judge until you've been the monster I have been,

To hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
My hunger is noble, but my pain is driven deep.

Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my
Immanence
Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my
Innocence from me

Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
Falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind,
To hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
My hunger is noble, but my pain is driven deep.


10. BLOODLINE V 2.0

Drag down
Feel this
Fatal heartbeat
So deep

Like the pound-pound-pounding
Industry
Cry out
I heard you
Slowly waking
Drowned out

And slowly making back the writhing line

They cut the bloodline in the center
And injected this hated strain
They cut the bloodline
They left it wanting
Feeding on this youth remains

(And She Goes)
Give me the Light
Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me your Life

Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood

Fallout

That they left here from the time before
Fall down
This throb-throb-throbbing core
Reach out
But the words are so empty
Fall back

And the edges fade to black

They cut the bloodline in the center
And injected this hated strain
They cut the bloodline
They left it wanting
Feeding on this youth remains

(But We Go)
Give me the Light
Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me your Life

Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood

Give me the Light

Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence
Give me the Blood
Give me your Life
Give me your Love
Give me your Innocence

Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood
Give me the Blood
