Death shrouds and red wine It sounds so divine Walks in the moonlight Pale skin so sublime Romantic illusions Never thought through conclusion All this agony I die every night I open the lid the bats fly out Feeling alone there is no doubt The aching inside you The craving that drives you From deep within I call your name I’ve never forgot who is to blame The aching inside you The terror that drives you First love first kill Bloodlust and no will Each night the same thing I deliver death’s sting Long life long sorrow Yesterday is tomorrow I chose the shadows Forever alone I open the lid the bats fly out Feeling alone there is no doubt The aching inside you The craving that drives you From deep within I call your name I’ve never forgot who is to blame The aching inside you The terror that drives you Heart ache Soul break Love forsake My mistake I open the lid the bats fly out Feeling alone there is no doubt The aching inside you The craving that drives you From deep within I call your name I’ve never forgot who is to blame The aching inside you The terror that drives you Death shrouds and red wine It sounds so divine Walks in the moonlight Pale skin so sublime Romantic illusions Never thought through conclusion All this agony I die every night

Lie still in the darkness Breathe deep of the fumes There's only one present In the deep-buried room Instinctive reaction is Your worst enemy Conscious acceptance is What sets you free Relax under pressure Submit to the pain You'll feel better if you let go You'll feel better if you can Relax under pressure Submit to the pain You'll find that you're different when You go back to your real life once again There is no time there is no space Benevolent master Invisible face The flesh will respond To the unyielding pain They'll never forgive you but They'll be back again Relax under pressure Submit to the pain You'll feel better when it's over You'll feel better when it's done Relax under pressure Submit to the pain You'll find that you're different when You go back to your real life once again Exquisite moment It ends all too soon Now no-one's present In the deep-buried room So pick up the pieces And put them away It's best to move on now They won't let you stay Relax under pressure Submit to the pain You'll feel better when it's over You'll feel better when it's done Relax under pressure Submit to the pain If there's nothing left to live for then There's nothing left to fear Relax under pressure Submit to the pain You'll find that you're new now and You can't go back to your life again

The blood that seeps from a distended wound Is almost as black as the night It pools on the floor, congeals at my feet Reflecting a terrible sight My personal hell, our shared circumstance Together we are each alone I watch as the foundations crumble, and Brace for misery, worse than we've known I rage at the power of small men Who fiddle while cities burn I weep for the plight of the poor man Who doesn't know which way to turn Which way to turn The animal urge to follow the pack Will result in humanity's fall We live behind wire, we snap at our bonds While the animals laugh at us all I rage at the power of small men Who undermine all that is good I seethe at the weakness of leaders Too spineless to do what they should Do what they should The darkest of days that are soon to come Will only bring misery We are told there is light at the end of the path I have searched but I cannot see I rage at the power of small men Who revel in death and decay I pray for someone who can save us For someone who can show us the way Show us the way Show us the way Please show us the way Show us the way Please show us the way

It's been years since last we met We may never meet again I have struggled to forget But that struggle, it was in vain For her voice lives on the breeze And her spirit comes at will In the midnight on the seas Her bright smile haunts me still At the first sweet dawn of light When I gaze upon the deep Her form still greets my sight While the stars their vigils keep When I close my aching eyes Sweet dreams my senses fill And from sleep when I arise Her bright smile haunts me still I have sailed 'neath alien skies I have trod the desert path I have seen the storm arise Like a giant in his wrath Every danger I have known That a reckless life can fill Yet her presence is not flown Her bright smile haunts me still For her voice lives on the breeze And her spirit comes at will In the midnight on the seas Her bright smile haunts me still
