@SONG: Trees Come Down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The war is passed
Now she tells him again
You should fetch the plans
The [ ], the [ ] you see
Leeway
Like the sun over the closing door
Whispered Caroline, walks down the steps
So feel the pain, feel the pain
The Heathen, the Heathen
Like the Heathen, the Heathen
From the crowd "Come Children of the Called"
And in the sect, they hurry around the closing door
So feel the pain, feel the pain
The Heathen, the Heathen
Like the Heathen, the Heathen
The Heathen... {Repeat}
Like the Heathen
Like the Heathen
God look out for the Heathen
The Heathen...
{Music Speeds up}
One more nightmare calling
Across the farthest fields
The night skies are dawning
Takes this much as you
Trees come down (x4)
Fall...
There's a girl in a green dress
She's got eyes like fire and lips so tame
She's huddled by the girl who's crying in the red dress
Hunger for life in this dying dying age
Dying age (x3)
This dying age (x7)
Back in Gehenna {Corrected from 'Laura' LP, NB: Returning to Gehenna
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ is different}
All great plains of the Earth
Are now lightened by fire
Now gather on the wrecked land
From these horsemen in iron
This is fear
You've all turned up
Now the atmosphere
Is thicker than blood
From Gehenna to here
A release of sin
It's become our lair
We
The Nephilim
Room full of people
Now scarred and distressed
The time's now happened
And the captured in a mess
The girl in the shawl
Crashes to the floor
Crying: "Open the gates
To the Devils' hordes"
See the woman thrive
In the blood from Heaven
Burn in banished fire
Like a scene called Hell
See the bloody fire
To you is forsaken
Burn this banished fire
Burn
Burn Hell
Centred by the arts
Most brutally
People are scarred
By cruellty
Oh...
When malevolance falls {?????}
And what about ours
This message is clear
Now open up the ground
See the woman thrive
In the blood from Heaven
Burn in banished fire
Like a scene called Hell
See the bloody fire
To you is forsaken
Burn this banished fire
Burn
Burn Hell
Burn Hell...
Burn Hell!
@SONG: Darkcell
~~~~~~~~
Moon is rising
A million years to me
Soon be quieter
A passing tear from me
Sing the same
Lie here with me
Dreams a dream
They all drop dead asleep
Shining higher
A foolish tune
A cry from the top of the spire
Wear a prayer, drops and crumbles
Crumbles
Crumbles
Yes crumbles
Darkcell is among you
Darkcell is in my room
Darkcell with the mortal freak
Darkcell let me speak
Darkcell tomorrow bloom
Darkcell is in my room
Darkcell with the mortal freak
Darkcell let me speak to you..
Let me out
Let me
Let me out...
@SONG: Laura (Adapted from the Laura LP)
~~~~~
Tempted white eyes
Blinded by the night
Hollow like the towers
On the inside
Laura's a machine
She's burning insane
Laura's a machine
For a menace in disguise
Behold this night
The four walls are furnished
Now she's alive
No one ever helped poor Laura
No one ever helped poor Laura
She's rabid in ecstacy (x4)
She's on the line to cut it all
She's on the line to drop and fall
She's on the line
Line to fall
People laughing an awful sight
People leave Laura 'tis her night
Laura have you seen it, Laura can you say
Laura can you see
From the light of the catherine wheel
She spins from above
Haunted by these times
My European love
No one ever helped poor Laura
No one ever helped poor Laura
She's rabid in ecstacy
She's rabid in ecstacy (x3)
She's on the line to cut it all
She's on the line to drop and fall
She's on the line
Line to fall
Laura...
Laura... {Repeat to fade}
