Under a Dark Sky
Leave behind the hearth and home
The cold hands of the wind reach inside, warm my heart
High on a hill near the sky
Wake in the night by the call of the wind
It pulls like the moon at the core of my heart
The storm alone I know
Feel the wind blow shrieking wordless of love under a dark sky
Fear abandoned thunder pounding my heart under a dark sky
The rainfall brushes my skin like a kiss
Its dark touch sends a chill down my neck.
Takes my breath Driven hard by the wind
Comfort pales beside the wild call
The cold hands of the wind reach inside, wake my soul
The stinging rain like caresses to me
Feel the wind blow shrieking wordless of love under a dark sky
Torrents lashing thunder pounding my heart under a dark sky
Tonight
Walk with me let me dream of one shining moment with you
Falling into your open arms and calling your name
No regrets, no turning back
Oh throw caution to the wind
My whole life pales beside the look in your eyes tonight
Pull me down to the ground to leave behind the life I knew and dream with you alone
Promises keeping me drowning in you the darkness fills my eyes
No regrets, no turning back
Oh throw caution to the wind
My whole life pales beside the look in your eyes tonight
Take away my heart my will and leave behind the life I knew to dream with you alone
Telling me everything you know will leave me twisted and calling your name
Tell me night falls, tell me love calls, tell me anything at all
No regrets, no turning back
Oh throw caution to the wind
My whole life pales beside the look in your eyes tonight
Falling Dream
You sleep so peacefully – do you, do you dream of me
Can you feel my eyes watch you every day and night
Tied to this place, tied to you
How shall my love cause you to be falling, falling for me.
Falling, falling for me
You can’t see or hear me but you know when you’re near me
I can make you do things to bring you closer to me
I must have you, so beware
When we meet you’ll be aware that you’re falling, falling for me
Falling, falling for me
Can you, can you see the elements of my fantasy
Death can be such fun when you share it with someone
Plunging down the spiral stairs
Lying lovely broken there
Red streams flowing beautifully, you’re falling, falling for me
Falling, falling for me
Falling, falling for me
Wallflower
Lovely child you’re mine to keep
Trellised to the secret wall where no one can see
A treasured prize displayed like a butterfly
Innocent vision, a feast for the eye
Willing victim shuns the daylight fire
Earthbound angel yielding to the twilight’s dark desires
The messiah pinprick throbbing won’t hurt for long
To die for devotion the flesh must be strong
You will be my lovely wallflower
Freshly cut so young and beautiful
You will be my lovely wallflower
Fragile beauty for show not to touch
Shining in the streams of light from the window high above
Your lashes stir like birds on your bone smooth cheek
Emerald eyes uncovered from a lifelong sleep
You will be my lovely wallflower
Freshly cut so young and beautiful
You will be my lovely wallflower
Alice
Lyrics by Andrew Eldritch
Alice pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers crawl
And crush the petals on the floor
Alice in her party dress
She thanks you kindly so serene
She needs you like she needs her tranqs
To tell her that the world is clean
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Pass the crystal spread the Tarot
In illusion comfort lies
The safest way the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise
Alice in her party dressed to kill
She the thanks you turns away
She needs you like she needs needs her pills
To tell her that the world’s okay
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today, today
Alice
Don’t give it way
She
Reverse the days
Wearing the veil to shut them out
Changeling displaced
Cover your face
Moongaze and shiver alone
Wander in the old places
Distant memory of how the future will be
Await the day
The net will be drawn to let you out
Turning away cover the pain never expect them to see
Hidden in your aching heart
Distant memory of how the future will be
Wednesday’s Child
Reverse the days
Wearing the veil to shut them out
Changeling displaced
Cover your face
Moongaze and shiver alone
Wander in the old places
Distant memory of how the future will be
Await the day
The net will be drawn to let you out
Turning away cover the pain never expect them to see
Hidden in your aching heart
Distant memory of how the future will be
One small voice is raised alone
Will they know you when you call
One small voice is raised alone
Will they know you when you call
One small voice is raised alone
Will they know you when you call
Caged Bird
Sunrise blooms orchid bright
Bought with fancies in the night
Life more precious than honor holds
Sold with legends, promises and fantasy
Change of seasons chain the heart
Woven spellweb light and dark
Shifting shadows across the sand
Falling scales of serpent laughter count the days
Jade and silver overhead
Orchids crushed upon your bed
Your thoughts may wander freely
And the caged bird sings so sweetly
Cunning instincts worked by day
Cross the oath taken in rage
Talents twisted and mystic found
Dance in circles clouding vision with their wings
Heartbeat holds beads of time
Wide eyed waiting in the mind
Vision holding the future key
Crowning glory trickery and all for love
Jade and silver overhead
Orchids crushed upon your bed
Your thoughts may wander freely
And the caged bird sings so sweetly
Sulfer Salt and Mercury
Scared of the dark now aren’t you all it’s been that way since man’s first fall
Terrified of what you still can’t see this nether world is where one makes three
Sulphur, salt and mercury
These are the night’s holy trinity
Sulphur, salt and mercury
These are the night’s holy trinity
Without the sun shining oh so bright all things take on their own true light
Nothing’s real as they may seem they’re only scenes in one big dream
Give me night and give me death the gods of old could no less
It’s all the same if you ask me but you won’t know if you can’t see
Sulphur, salt and mercury
These are the night’s holy trinity
Sulphur, salt and mercury
These are the night’s holy trinity
Don’t run away, it will follow you it will always know how to frighten you
Open your heart and see the night and you’ll be blinded by your newfound sight
Without the sun shining deadly bright all things take on their own true light
The night is filled with a dark beauty It’s waiting there for you all to see
Sulphur, salt and mercury
These are the night’s holy trinity
Sulphur, salt and mercury
These are the night’s holy trinity
Shadow
I hear your voice see your eyes in a child
It’s not you
Only appeared in a dream
Flew away in a rustle of wings when I opened my eyes
Left with a memory
Your shadow on the wall
And the rain beats on the window pane
Counting the years passing
You never came
Once I was young
I believed you would come take me away
Live in a world like a dream
Fly away in the night and leave this old world behind
Lost in a memory
Your shadow on the wall
And the rain beats on the window pane
Counting the years passing
You never came
Long Ago and Far Away
Long ago and far away
Battle brings a fateful day
A lady’s love rides away and she waits for him forever
Our two hearts were twined as one
Never to become undone
Ah, my love
All is lost
Emptiness has filled my days
life and light taken away
Ah, my love
All is lost
Long ago and far away
Battle brings a fateful day
A lady’s love rides away and she waits for him forever
