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} --ooOoo--
