The Fields of the Nephilim

Power

~~~~~

Revision 4. 11 Feb '93.

Thanks to the usual people who corrected lyrics in this one.

Special thanks to S.Simpson (ssimpson@nemesis.calpoly.edu) for getting

me back on track with the first draft of The Tower.

Special thanks to Spiggy who pointed out a *big* mistake in Secrets:

What was: "It seems I know where no one can find him"

is "Secrets, I know where no one can find them"

They don't get more obviuos than that :-)



Power

~~~~~

Power

Power feeds you, Long loving hours

I can't live, everlasting power {I can't leave everlasting flower}

Flower

World opens you, to simple flower

A feeling, a feeling of success



Draining me, now, Draining me from power

Draining me, now, Draining me from power



The wide open stench of our success {.. our sex?}

I can't give, but I'll receive for hours



Draining me, now, Draining me from power

Draining me, now, Draining me from power

Draining, Static, from the attic

Ideal Power {I need power ????}



Draining me, now, Draining me from power

Draining me, now, Draining me from power

Draining, Static, from the attic

Ideal Power



The Power, so so tight {Seems so nice ????}

See the heart is burning

I call it static

I'm static

So charismatic

You're so tragic

My lips are manic {My love so manic??}

I have the power

You seem so frantic {I'm a sex fanatic}

My life is turning

I'm systematic

See my touch

Makes you cower

Dreaming of..

My waking hour.





Secrets

~~~~~~~

He rides on the crest of a wave

His hands now running out {run for miles}

He acts against the same way in

As I run across town with doubt



I forgive you, follow me (x3)

I'll forgive you (x3)



I've seen the heart of man fall {...hollow man fall ??}

I've seen him crawl

Secrets, I know where no one can find them

Behind the darkened door



I can't hear what she wrote to me

I can't see the movements she made

Because..

I can't see you! (x3)

I can't see



I've seen the heart of man fall {I can hear the 't' in heart??}

I've seen him crawl

Secrets, I know where no one can find them

Behind the darkened door

The darkened door (x3)



I forgive you, follow me (x3)

I'll forgive, I'll forgive

I'll for....



I've seen the heart of man fall

I've seen him crawl

Secrets, I know where no one can find them

Behind the darkened door



The darkened door (x3)





The Tower

~~~~~~~~~



She lifts the flowers from her window box

Summer's found now winter flocks

She lifts her veil to the morning rain

Wipes her eyes to the summer again



A thousand years shimmer on her face

Cut inside she re-dreams the taste

She knocks the flowers from the window side

They fall to the ground, they fall to the ground



Hide away from the raging sun

You hide your love from the fire beyond



Now the woman in an aging form

She's tangled in the bushes tall

Cow'ring down with head in hand

She cries out loud, she cries out loud

Seems so cold, it seems so cold tonight

Seems so cold, seems so cold tonight



Hide away from the raging sun

You hide your love from the fire beyond



She can't see visions of this force below

Freezes her life through the joke

She heads to the voice of this rainy day

It cries like a choir in her mind "Just stay"

Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head

See the crowd who were at the fire which is your bed

She then danced through the kitchen through the force below

What cries "Now fun!" but Oh so slow



Just living

Like a dreamless child with hatred



She's never been quite as cut by life before

Never been cut by way of life before



Hide away from the raging sun

You hide your love from the fire beyond

Hide away from the raging sun

You hide your love from the fire beyond



She can't see visions of this force below

Freezes her life through the joke

She heads to the voice of this rainy day

It cries like a choir in her mind "Just stay"

Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head

See the crowd who were at the fire which is your bed

She then danced through the kitchen through the force below

What cries "Now fun!" but Oh so slow

But Oh so slow {Repeat to fade}
