Walk just behind me / In my shadow Walk just behind me / Never stray The sun is setting / Mountains on fire We're so alone here / Don't go far Sing a lullaby, sleep now It's just a dream, sleep now This can't be real, sleep now The starlight marks The path...

Don't tread the path of the enlightened / Don't swallow their sugared seeds of poison Their Da'ath leads to that black moonrise / Where the bodies stack up to the rafters We touch the planets yet we're no closer to heavens / We gaze at the stars from our pi...

Out on the quay Trash for the day I've got a feeling I can't explain Is it my future Buried in my past? All that I know is It might just last Black Joan This begging life keeps On dragging me down I'm sick of small change I'm sick of this town Gotta find...

Isn’t it good to be acquainted with darkness, To caress it gently, to slit its throat, To know the hidden pockets, caves and grottos of the mirrored landscape, To catch a glimpse of black majesty, To know there’s more horror to this existence than anyone...

Colder Look how far I've come today I feel I could go forever this way My back is strong, my legs are long My coat is warm, my shoes not worn. But it grows colder, colder still. It grows cold, it grows cold, it grows colder, colder. I mark my day o...

O Cosey Mo, I feel your pain When they all want you but they don't know your game I guess your death will pass in time But in the meantime let me build your shrine I promise you that I will find you I'll dig up every unmarked grave I promise you that I will f...

No one ever sees the puppet strings / No one ever sees the dark country I know you're coming for me now / I feel you coming for me now No one ever feels / The heavy weight of lies revealed No one ever feels / The burning towns, the burning fields I know you'...

Let down a rope I know there is another world In their geometry Is a straight line to a living death The earth is shifting like a plate My skin doesn’t fit anymore I’m hanging by the noose of their lamp cord I see the bars of the cage Like paper doll...

I live in a place where the horizon rises up to meet the sky And a dead lake lies fallow underneath a burning sun In the houses people dream what life would be like without a tally In the houses people dream what life would be like shadowless Cities by dead l...

Force 10 a.m. and I'm drunk again Bitter cognac, sweet relief I held your mother before she floated away Sweet baby skin Broken window latch Your nail lash, your warm flesh The only way I'll ever love is by force I'm asleep in the chasm. The onl...

Well met, well met, my own true love Well met, well met, cried she I've just returned from the salt, salt sea And it's all for the love of thee I could have married a King's daughter there She would have married me But I have forsaken my King's daughter there...

The laugh at me I´m all alone The question me In jagged tones The try to tell me what's true And what's not true As if they knew As if they knew They tell me how to feel They tell me what I'm worth They tell me how I failed All in their own words The tell m...

L’amore è come un cappio che ti strozza Che ti lascia sospeso a mezz’aria Senza respiro, senza forze, indifeso Come una marionetta 

Indian Summer Midnight Harvest moon We'll catch the coach Not a moment too soon, My love. let's fly away from here. Autumn blush Your first touch Indian summer begins at dusk, My love. Our love will never die, Our love will never die. Winter...

He´s a long way from home And the shots cut him him down I saw it in a dream I had last night I saw the shots cut him down And smoke all around And his broken body lying in the sand Though I know that my son died for a new day And for all the millions that w...

Jailbreak It's been 18 years in this prison cell Separated from my best friend He lives out in the men's wing I send him pictures in my head. How long must I suffer, Lord? How much can I take? How long must I languish, Lord, Before they come take me...

Revealing love to be a test tube of untidy sludge Is the greatest triumph of the modern era Evolution belies this unfortunate defect We’re smoothing out the gross chaos of biology Antithesis to precision A threat to order and reason Inverse of numbers...

Rapunzel Flailing under the auspices of a broken kingdom Stuttering up the stairs of a broken house The golden mansion The hanging boudoir The flowers, thick and heavy. Blown away by rusting debris In the belly of the gutted tower Rapunzel dies tod...

Self-Rule Fixed bayonets in the crisp autumn air And I have to wonder why I don't even care Scarlet epaulets and well-oiled hair I invade the nations of the poor But I can't fight my own battles, can't find a cure I'll make them feel my rod till they can't ta...

Not an equal, no one’s sister, no one’s best friend Just a faceless mannequin to buy and sell Fair exchange is alive and well The exotic markets grow and grow Don’t look at me; it’s her economy We buy and sell. Fair exchange is alive and well I’m only taking...

All of my life, I've been waiting for you, Come lay down your head, rest in my arms, you're free tonight You're in the eyes of those whose luck has run out A tender end to a life of descent Every lawman knows that you cannot be argued Even despots know that w...

There, beyond the windowsill Lies the child that we all dread An affront to our ease and our lassitude A thorn in our side How soon will she die? Now every road I take, no matter how far Leads me back here again, convicted by your smile And every wakin...

Oh, my Sally's done gone / And it's all my fault Oh, my Sally's done gone / I never listened to a word she said The purple hills / Seem to call out her name Like the whippoorwill / I didn't listen to the warning she gave I know there's no turning back She t...
