Lyrics


1. SYMPATHY FOR TOMORROW

I'm not asking for favors
Not tonight
I look up in the sky...
All the rockets fall down (fall down)
Too many promises
Too many lies

Too many faces for me to know

Sometimes I sit among the markers
And contemplate my next life
Says something less sympathetic-
A little more unconditional respect was buried
Here

"But it never lived
And it never died

It never came from them
It was always inside..."

I don't care if time just passes us by
I can stand the change...
But not the cruelty
Too many promises
Too many lies
Too many faces for me to know

Sometimes I sit among the markers
And contemplate my next life
Says something less sympathetic-
"A little more unconditional respect was buried
Here"

"But it never lived
And it never died
It never came from them
It was always inside..."


2. PORNOGRAPHY

All she's wanting touch
A little bit of hunger
Satisfaction, doesn't ask for much

She wants to feel intensity
Heat watered it down
Below to soft deliverance

This heartbeat throbs and pounds

I look around
What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be

Pornography

I look around
What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be

Pornography

Welcome to my lair
Said the spider to the fly
Let me bring you ecstasy
Baby, baby, let me try
To rip these coy reminders

From the smoothest plane
And dive deep inside you
To taste the sweetest rain

I look around
What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me

All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography

I look around
What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me

All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography


3. LAST BREATH

Somewhere in the darkness I stand
Watching and waiting again
Somewhere in the darkness she cries

And I hear the silence die
The silence

Chorus:
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As i reach into her soul and coldly

Let her go I let her
(Her) lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As i reach into her soul and coldly let her go
I let her go

(Repeat verse & chorus)

Now I feel it moving to her
Different faces going still
Down and back with all this fight
Till nothing else matters tonight

Dance back

And glance back to
With all this... here
You have to let me know

Cut whole
Cut tight
Tragic faces

Different bite
Send a shockwave
Home
Gripping closer
Gripping go
Gripping gold


4. LEAVE ME ALONE

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


5. CHAINS

These mortal thoughts
They bind me up
They shackle me
And drag me down

I can't escape
I'm cut too deep
Left hanging here,
In misery

Chains of hate
Chains of affection

Chains that want you and
Chains of rejection
Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you and
Chains that bind

I feel the tug
That pulls me in
This chain of memories
This passion bends
I can't escape
I'm cut too deep

Left hanging here,
In misery

Chains of hate
Chains of affection
Chains that want you and
Chains of rejection

Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you and
Chains that bind

Chains of hate
Chains of affection

Chains that want to and
Chains of rejection
Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you and
Chains that bind


6. CHILDREN IN BLACK

The day is withering
Broken by the weight of time

All shadows cast
Grow longer
Till they smother light
And leave no trace
Or evidence
Of the fiery life that has fallen silent,

Till new moon resurrection recalls the phoenix
Leave this a monument
Of dreams dreamt
Of love shared
Of gods challenged
And victory over mortal chains

Snatched away
In the attempt

All the little children
All dressed in black
With their darkened eyes
And holy artifacts

Mamas watch your babies
Keep them safe and sound
Don't let them play in graveyards
Don't let them find this out

You may be sorry
You may be sorry

Peculiarities speaking
Arising from their mouths
It must be the devil
Making these horrid sounds
Speak no evil, baby
Your daddy told you twice

Don't be some sort of freak
Lost lonely in the night

You may be sorry
You may be sorry

Pallid cheeks and perfumed skin

This midnight love's corrosion
Clandestine fingers wander
Symbiotic fed explosion
Comes harrowing cold to these
Another line to feed
like fish within the net

Like babies caught in sleep
Caught in sleep

Break the stem
Spare the petals this answer
Let me fall quickly
Beautiful still

And when they inter me
Let rain be my mourning
Let thunder cry my demise
And death lay her kiss
Gently on my paling lips

You may be sorry

8. BLACK HEART AND A HAMMER

Black heart and a hammer
Come and sing to me
Black heart and a hammer

Come and dance for me
Standing where she lay
Dancing on her grave
There's no life to save
Oh, they killed 'em yesterday

All this makes no sense

It dies but it comes again
I just want to win
And never say your name again

Black heart and a hammer
Come and break for me
Black heart and a hammer

Come and die for me
Standing where she lay
Dancing on her grave
There's no life to save
I took it yesterday

All this makes no sense

It dies but it comes again
I just want to win
And never say your name again


9. I SHOT TOMORROW

Usually I get real pissed off and wonder if anyone's really Listening to me...

Bring em back on the dead feathers
We once left for the falling birds
Bring them back all of the others
Someone fed them some holy words

I stare rigid and stony
At the hand that holds the sky
write out, spare me the money
That bleeds out of your lies

Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow

Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow
Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow

Throw them back on the dead corpses
We once held close in our arms
Throw them back, back where they started
We danced naked for the stars

I stare rigid and stony

And the hand that holds the sky
Write out, spare me some money
That bleeds out of these lies

Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall

I think I killed tomorrow
Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow


10. SIREN SONG

Cover your ears
Disguise the sound

Change your course
But don't turn around
The voice you hear will drag you in,
It will swallow you, don't let her in,
Cover your ears
The hurt will end

But you mustn't break
And you mustn't bend
Don't look back
It's all the same
You can't go back to that stupid game

The siren song

When you give up
And when you give in
You'll dash your heart against the rocks

Close your heart,
Close your eyes

Before you fall to all these lies
It doesn't matter,
It will never change
This hated element still remains.
It still remains

Cover your ears

Bisguise the sound
Change your course
But don't turn around
The voice you hear will drag you in,
It will swallow you, don't let her in,
Cover your ears

The hurt will end
But you mustn't break
And you mustn't bend
Bon't look back
It's all the same
You can't go back to that stupid game

The siren song

Don't look back
You've got to be strong
You cannot listen to the siren's song

The siren song
