Light Shines Black

At the side of the world I watch your painless face It's a veil that covers all the falsehood that you carry It is true, it is true that I've never been here before Now, that's a lie, that's a lie that has been used before All the shining light they've hidden away inside All the dying light the light shines black inside At side of the world I watch the painless ones I am an insect waiting to be devoured It is true, it is true that I never wrote these words before Now, that's a lie that we reuse everytime we are alone All the shining light they've hidden away inside All the dying light the light shines black inside

Take this last wish that was never granted I held it inside my heart It hurts more than it ever did before `Cause things aren't always what they seem to be They never are... New flesh for a soiled soul Crawl with me in the dust Dirty just for you, crawling just for you Crawl with me in the dust Dirty just for you, crawling for the Soiled souls I wish for this treasure to be discovered The world becomes a shelter in the hole It burns more than it ever did before Things aren't always what they seem to be The never are... New flesh for a soiled soul

[originally by Eurythmics] Well I was born an original sinner. I was born from original sin. And if I had a dollar bill For all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money Piled up to my chin... My mother told me good My mother told me strong. She said "be true to yourself And you can't go wrong." "But there's just one thing That you must understand." "You can fool with your brother - But don't mess with a missionary man." Don't mess with a missionary man. Don't mess with a missionary man. Well the missionary man He's got God in his side. He's got the saints and apostles Backin' up from behind. Black eyed looks from those Bible books. He's a man with a mission Got a serious mind. There was a woman in the jungle And a monkey on a tree. The missionary man he was followin' me. He said "stop what you're doing." "Get down upon your knees." "I've a message for you that you better believe." Don't mess with a missionary man. Don't mess with a missionary man.

As I drift away through the bluish light Your velvet touch it fondles me as I step inside My universal sleep, once again it's calling me I wait for the proper moment to venture into the dream Drink from this fountain, built from a heart of stone The waters pouring through it are the dreams I walk along Drink from this fountain, built from a heart of stone Lucid dream desire Here I'm just a fragment of things that used to be What is true might not be real when you step into my dream I'm one without name among stars in your sky I am just a fragment of things that never came to life I dream forever more And my dreams shall forever be Drink from this fountain, built from a heart of stone The waters pouring through it are the dreams I walk along Drink from this fountain, built from a heart of stone Lucid dream desire

I feel you slip right into me Skin that sun ain't burned too much Eyes, these emotional wounds I was bound to lose A day of crooked smiles I'm the faithless one On that day of crooked smiles I'll come back once more The light of loving that you gave me Lit from this moment of despair This gift of grief that you gave me I was bound to lose A day of crooked smiles... This is the final closure This is my life This is the final closure A day of breaking has come

I watched those raindrop tears As they ran down your face Your flowers be evil Your vanity, black in grace On raven wings, open up the night Lighten up the moon On raven wings, open up the clouds And heaven cries with you until the end of time Mirrored in the moonlight Of the cold winternight A marble smile on your lips And that wicked gaze in your eyes On raven wings, open up the night Lighten up the moon On raven wings, open up the clouds And heaven cries with you until the end of time

Let me take you away, let me show you the way To where you've never been, to a world between Dance the light away in this passionate play Through the forests so green of the green theory Places I've seen, places I've been to Places I've seen in my dreams Our travel through times, the things that remind How our past will be, what our future has seen Places I've seen, places I've been to Places I've seen in my dreams We fall with the rain

I stare upon the endless walls, your walls of steel My eyes are tired, your name weights heavy in me I hear my innervoice, it's calling for compassion It's in the traces of a long forgotten generation It's a temporary grace you wear The persistence of my memories I hear my innervoice, a voice filled with regret The veil of virtue hangs deep around your neck It's a temporary grace you wear The persistence of my memories I'm staring down Your angels cry, they never fly I'm staring down And with the cry your angels die It's a temporary grace you wear The persistence of my memories

The love we share is infected A passion bittersweet Dissolving to the music A romantic act of tragedy Moan and sigh entwined Pale and sick and tired In violet light embedded Flowers greet the death of the loving There's a beauty never known before In this beauty we're deformed and sore See the pain of a heart laid bare In the strain of a heart laid bare Dream of death, presentiment Under a tragic sky I close my eyes and dream away To another year in another time Illusion veils the face Sleepwalkeyes of the loving Features in melancholy Flowers greet the death of the loving There's a beauty never known before In this beauty we're deformed and sore See the pain of a heart laid bare In the strain of a heart laid bare

This can't make me better, but at least I'm gonna try Makes the bitterness come so much more alive One-way ticket to a zone to take me away from this night The insect crawled out and died in the light of a sun too bright Your worn out face - The liquid anguish is brought Your worn out face - I've seen them all before Fading slowly, whispering souls Wallowing deeper, swallowing souls This can't make me better, but at least I'm gonna try Makes the Orient night come so much more alive Your worn out face - The liquid anguish is brought Your worn out face - I've seen them all before Sing to me your lullaby so sweet Sing to me corrosive sleep Fading slowly, whispering souls Wallowing deeper, swallowing souls

This night be our last, still we're bound together This night be our last, like a knife cutting it through And it's flowing from you, gently weeps away I take in little sips on this day of rain On a road to nowhere, fragile as one can be Trying to get to somewhere far away A crimson shadow, one last stain I had to clean The crimson shadow dissolves the dream And it's flowing from you, gently weeps away I take in little sips on this day of rain As it cracks and leaves me bleeding On a road to nowhere, fragile as one can be Trying to get to somewhere far away
