This is the morning of our love It's just the dawning of our love I feel you Your heart it sings I feel you The joy it brings Where heaven waits Those golden gates And back again You take me to And lead me through oblivion This is the morning of our love It's just the dawning of our love I feel you Your precious soul I feel you And I am whole I feel you Your rising sun My kingdom comes I feel you Each move you make I feel you Each breath you take Where angels sing And spread their wings My love's on high You take me home To glory's throne By and by This is the morning of our love It's just the dawning of our love @SONG: WALKING IN MY SHOES I would tell you about the things They put me through The pain I've been subjected to But the Lord himself would blush The countless feasts laid at my feet Forbidden fruits for me to eat But I think your pulse would start to rush Now I'm not looking for absolution Forgiveness for the things I do But before you come to any conclusions Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes You'll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes If you try walking in my shoes Morality would frown upon Decency look down upon The scapegoat fate's made of me But I promise you, my judge and jurors My intentions couldn't have been purer My case is easy to see I'm not looking for a clearer conscience Peace of mind after what I've been through And before we talk of repentance Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes You'll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes If you try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes Now I'm not looking for absolution Forgiveness for the things I do But before you come to any conclusions Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes You'll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes Now I'm not looking for absolution Forgiveness for the things I do But before you come to any conclusions Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes You'll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes If you try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes @SONG: CONDEMNATION Condemnation Tried Here on the stand With the book in my hand And truth on my side Accusations Lies Hand me my sentence I'll show no repentance I'll suffer with pride If for honesty You want apologies I don't sympathize If for kindness You substitute blindness Please open your eyes Condemnation Why Because my duty Was always to beauty And that was my crime Feel elation High To know I can trust this Fix of injustice Time after time If you see purity As immaturity Well it's no surprise If for kindness You substitute blindness Please open your eyes @SONG: MERCY IN YOU You know what I need When my heart bleeds I suffer from greed A longing to feed On the mercy in you I can't conceal The way I'm healed The pleasure I feel When I have to deal With the mercy in you I would do it all again Lose my way and fall again Just so I could call again On the mercy in you When here in my mind I feel inclined To wrongly treat you unkind I have faith I will find The mercy in you I would lose my way again Be led hopelessly astray again Just so I could pray again For the mercy in you When here in my mind I have been blind Emotionally behind I have faith I will find The mercy in you @SONG: JUDAS Is simplicity the best Or simply the easiest The narrowest path Is always the holiest So walk on barefoot for me Suffer some misery If you want my love If you want my love Man will survive The harshest conditions And stay alive Through difficult decisions So make up your mind for me Walk the line for me If you want my love If you want my love Idle talk And hollow promises Cheating Judases Doubting Thomases Don't just stand there and shout it Do something about it You can fulfil Your wildest ambitions And I'm sure you will Lose your inhibitions So open yourself for me Risk your health for me If you want my love If you want my love If you want my love If you want my love @SONG: IN YOUR ROOM In your room Where time stands still Or moves at your will Will you let the morning come soon Or will you leave me lying here In your favourite darkness Your favourite half-light Your favourite consciousness Your favourite slave In your room Where souls disappear Only you exist here Will you lead me to your armchair Or leave me lying here Your favourite innocence Your favourite prize Your favourite smile Your favourite slave I'm hanging on your words living on your breath feeling with your skin Will I always be here In your room Your burning eyes Cause flames to arise Will you let the fire die down soon Or will I always be here Your favourite passion Your favourite game Your favourite mirror Your favourite slave I'm hanging on your words living on your breath feeling with your skin Will I always be here @SONG: GET RIGHT WITH ME I will have faith in man That is hard to understand Show some humility You have the ability Get right with me Friends, if you've lost your way You will find it again some day Come down from your pedestals And open your mouths that's all Get right with me Life is such a short thing That I cannot comprehend But if this life were a bought thing There are ways I know we'd mend People, take my advice Already told you once, once or twice Don't waste your energy Making apologies Get right with me @SONG: RUSH Walk with me Open your sensitive mouth And talk to me Hold out your delicate hands And feel me Couldn't make any plans To conceal me Open your sensitive mouth Hold out your delicate hands With such a sensitive mouth I'm easy to see through When I come up When I rush I rush for you Cry for you Seen the tears Roll down from my eyes for you Heard my truth Distorting to lies for you Watched my love Becoming a prize for you Seen the tears in my eyes Heard my truth turn to lies Seen the tears in my eyes I'm not proud of what I do When I come up When I rush I rush for you I come up to meet you Up there somewhere When I rush to greet you My soul is bared Gave more for you Dropped my crutches And crawled on the floor for you Went looking behind every door for you And because of the things That I saw for you I spiritually grew When I come up When I rush I rush for you @SONG: ONE CARESS Well I'm down on my knees again And I pray to the only one Who has the strength To bear the pain To forgive all the things that I've done Oh Girl Lead me into your darkness When this world is trying it's hardest To leave me unimpressed Just one caress From you and I'm blessed When you think you've tried every road Every avenue Take one more look At what you found old And in it you'll find something new I'm shying from the light I always loved the night And now you offer me eternal darkness I have to believe that sin Can make a better man It's the mood that I am in That left us back where we began @SONG: HIGHER LOVE I can taste more than feel This burning inside is so real I can almost lay my hands upon The warm glow that lingers on Moved, lifted higher Moved, my soul's on fire Moved, by a higher love I surrender all control To the desire that consumes me whole And leads me by the hand to infinity That lies in wait at the heart of me Moved, lifted higher Moved, my soul's on fire Moved, by a higher love Heaven bound on the wings of love There's so much that you can rise above Moved, lifted higher Moved, moved, by a higher love By a higher love I surrender heart and soul Sacrificed to a higher goal Moved, moved by a higher love By a higher love
