4th Revision. 10 Feb 93.

Transcribed by John Mc Donagh (mcdonghj@unix2.tcd.ie).



From First Post:

I transcribed these lyrics as best as I could as I wanted a copy of them.

Some bits of the Lyrics I could not catch and these are enclosed in [ ]

square brackets. My comments are in { } curly brackets.

I would appreciate if others would listen to the album and fill in my gaps

and correct my mistakes, but please listen to the albums again first as I

have had various replies, some of which I agree with and some of which I do

not.



Thanks to all who helped, with particular thanks to Spiggy and Robert Schmitz.

I know we had a few run ins etc... But sincerest thanks!

And thanks to my brother Alan who helped in the corrections and in the

decipering of the shamans lyrics.



All the lyrics should now be Revision 4, even though it might be the first set

of corrections to some of the files. This just lets you know that you have the

*most* up to date set of lyrics :-)



Also I haven't done 'Returning to Gehenna' as all the tracks are covered in

some form on 'Burning the Fields' and 'Power'. I know 'Back in..' is different

to 'Returning..'. I'll get around to it sometime.

Note also that every version of every song is not covered. I have tried to have

at least one version of every song for all you out there in GothLand, so for

the moment you will need to make do with that.

On the lyrics: I think Slowkill is about Joan of Arc so I hear Joan at the

chorus but others feel it is about suicide: Jump. I don't honestly know.

Dust is a tricky one too. Is it about Western films or about Western Heros:

"Faith without a name" or "Fading out and In"... Will we ever truely know?





Intro(The Harmonic Man) {Purely instrumental}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {By Ennio Morricone.}





Slowkill {An ode to Joan of Arc ??}

~~~~~~~~

Love cried, the bridge of starving

So cold, first light

Up here, on the bridge of night

Forsake me but listen



Slow, Slow, Slow ... Bleed for what ??

Up here, the bridge of night

To fall, it would be so nice



Chorus: Chase this misery out of this town

Bury my face into this ground

Now Joan, Now Joan J J J J J Joan {Possibly "No Joy" or "Now Jump"}



Into a smile mesmerised

See what you are, See what you were

Up here I can see for miles,

Such a fire as burns inside



I'm up here because I wanted to die

I'm up here like a dying Messiah

I'm up here because I wanted to die

I'm up here cause I like it



(Chorus:)



Joan,

The Pain ..... (To fade)



Don't cry



Now Joan, Now Joan J J J J Joan

(Bury my face into the ground ...Joan)



Volcane(Mr. Jealousy has Returned)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mr. Jealousy has returned returned returned



Chorus: Volcane ... Yearning Yearning Yearning Yearning

Volcane ... Yearning Yearning Yearning Yearning



Mr. Jealousy has returned to reality

All secured by humanity-manity-ity

Your living in danger



Mr. Jealousy please return to reality

Can't you see, can't you see

I'm loving a stranger



Bridge: Living inside her, this love Volcane

Now burn inside her, this love Volcane

Living inside her, this love Volcane

He needs to be inside her, this love Volcane



(Chorus)

Mr. Jealousy has returned

Vet for the Insane

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disheartening dreams, of tonight Relax

Takes a crying to sleep Relax Relax

You gotta hold to your past, So bad so bad

I'm gonna pull you all to pieces, So sad so Sad



Flowers in your kitchen, they weep for you

I'm gonna shred them all to pieces, like I did to you

Relax (Relax) Relax ..

Relax (Relax) Relax ..



Chorus: I wanna go home, Sadly I cried for you

I wanna go home, Look what you put me through, Put me through!



The wolves gather round, hear the droning sound

Like the hostile beat, What am I here for ??

Relax (Relax) Relax ..

Relax (Relax) Relax ..



(Chorus)

I wanna go home, What am I here for ??

I wanna go home, Help me ..

I wanna go home, What am I here for ??



Dust

~~~~

Blood, I wanna wash away {Love, I wanna wash your brains}

Gotta heat this love {I've got a heat sense love}

As she break {As she brain/reign??}

Dust we think the same

Gotta reason in peace, Now explain



Chorus: Feelings go on and on

Killing, its all man made

The rythm of life is all too strong

To get back..



Come down, Out of all the strain

In the swirling pool, of blood and brains



About face, My mind is made {Well [I face] My mind is made}

May a woman or child {May a woman watch out}

Childs masquerade {Childs masculine, child of masochism}



(Chorus)

The Western Heroes...



Blood, I walk the Highwire

I had to walk real high to see today

Dust, Faith without a name {Fading out and in}

When I finish my war, I'll feel the same {...walk, I'll fade the scene}



(Chorus)

The Western Heroes...



Well I walk the highwire

Well I walk the highwire

Well I walk the highwire

I've walked the highwire



Reanimator

~~~~~~~~~~

Pain, we are transforming {Listen to the shout...}

With your daughters underground

Pain, We look like sisters

Caught up in a landslide, Falling down



So far but you can feel them

So far but you can hear them

So far, So far

Reanimator Reanimator now

Reanimator Reanimator now



Pain, a shock like fire

Your world sinks, your world stinks of you {Your world sinks from view}

Sane, The world's a wire {Definatley not just a shout}

Your mind burns, your mind burns of you {Your members are few}



So far but you can hear them

So far but you can feel them

So far, So far

Reanimator Reanimator now

Reanimator Reanimator now



Dawnrazor

Cut to razor sounding violins

Recall your cutthroats and razor sin

We're watching Heaven as the sun goes down

I'll watch the sun bursting.. Hit the ground



You've got to [ ]

Chorus: Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin {Rouse the sky}

Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin {nb: Sin sounds like sign}



Dawnrazor Dawnrazor Well how ?

Dawnrazor Dawnrazor Well how ?



(Chorus)



Women in dreams abide, better than lost before

Women in dreams abide, better than cut before



Cuts in razor sound in body and limb

Recall your cutthroats and razor sin

You've got to [ ]

Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin

Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin



Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin

DawnAngel's fall, The Razor Sin



The Sequel

~~~~~~~~~~

Well I'm back, What do you cry for ? {NOT: "The one you cried for"}

When I'm dead, Will you cry more ?



Well I'm back, What do you cry for ?

When I'm dead, Will you cry more ?



This is The Sequel, This is how The Sequel ends

This is The Sequel, This is how The Sequel ends



This is The Sequel, This is how The Sequel ends

This is The Sequel, This is how The Sequel ends



This is The Sequel, This is how The Sequel ends

This is The Sequel, This is how The Sequel ends

It ends
