Christian Death (Rozz Williams) =============== Deathwish ~~~~~~~~~ Transcribed by: John Mc Donagh(mcdonghj@unix2.tcd.ie) and LeGrad(ghlloyd@unix2) Corrections by: Phil Jeffcock(P.J.Jeffcock@bradford.ac.uk) Mr. Jealousy(goth@spuddy.uucp) Eric Cassetti(eric@rhythm.com) Pierre Bourbonnais(bourp00@dmi.usherb.ca) Version: 2 (10 April '93) This is a close approximation to the lyrics to the 3 songs on the Deathwish EP whose lyrics aren't included with "Only Theatre Of Pain". I have also included all that I can get from the lyrics to the song "Skeleton Kiss", but this I know has mistakes. Thanks to the above for help... I have not included comments that sound incorrect though. Please send all your corrections to me. If there are any particular lyrics requests I'll type them in. Valor however does include most of the lyrics with the albums. Deathwish ~~~~~~~~~ I see the end, and I see the end well it was open so I crawled inside And someone up ahead was crying, well someone up ahead was dying Lost in the darkness, lost in today... Well you can only lose it to your mind, you got to lose it to your mind Waves and waves of tranquility is hard on your innocence Discarding all that was before, Let's crawl inside... La virginal souls devour without shame, We lick our lips clean, so clean No one outside knows, no one outside knows what it means To me, to be, set free Well you can only lose it to your mind, you got to lose it to your mind Waves and waves of tranquility is hard on your innocence Discarding all that was before, Let's crawl inside... Romeo's Distress (see OToP album cover or lyrics in ftp.maths.tcd.ie) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dogs ~~~~ Have the virgins with their honesty... guarantee? We move like vandals down darkened streets And talk like dime store nobles {...novels?} Shining blackness in our one track eye Shining blackness in our one track mind Shining blackness in our one track eyes Just like grabbed by lightning corners {nights of choruses} Just like cannibals, we must be starving... With the jobless scandals of society, with their churlish retches We want the graves and go for the bones Of beloved ancestors and blessed saints Deepest darkness in our blackened hearts Got no time for you bleeding hearts Deepest darkness in our blackened hearts Got no time for you bleeding hearts It comes with words of loneliness It comes on nights of choruses You're going to die and go straight to hell Hell! Desperate Hell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRO(only on the Iron Mask): "Loneliness is to live in a world with no one there You fall on your knees in prayer, asking God for rescue No one there, I shall die as my years drag by Oh why? why me Lord? " I hear the ratters of tatters of home Kick over the buckets of the wells run dry I can't see but I don't care Nothing is the best gift you can find Peru Resh { I know Rozz does backwards tricks but Help! } On my past suffering, the voices at last smothering To hell with your excuses, what do you know of desperation You people never feel the pain, of dark eyed angels in a desperate hell I hear the ratters of tatters of home Thrown over the edge, my eyes are dry I sit in the darkness of my own device And search my soul for a paradise Peru Resh Eat my flesh and drink my blood Tomorrow I'll be crucified Eat my flesh and drink my blood Tomorrow I'll cry Tomorrow I'll die Spiritual Cramp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cavity (for these two songs see OToP album cover or lyrics in ftp.maths.tcd.ie) ~~~~~~ Skeleton Kiss (From "The Iron Mask") ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Churches should be there I think of adventures of admiring corpses I'm retiring in the corner Five more minutes and we'll all be dead Five more minutes and we'll all be dead Skeleton closets, close up tight Perfect illness gone clear of life In the frightened presence Nailed to a heart felt decision If God turns today I'll meet you in hell Well I'll meet you in hell, Will I meet you in hell? Yes I'll meet you in hell Look in the eyes of the six fingered beast Percussion is a cancer spreading to your cage Blue light, beauty's got it's victim by the tail (Five more minutes and we'll all be dead) See beginners on a bed of nails Won't you meet me up with your kiss And give me One moment, one moment of bliss, one moment of bliss Flesh to bone is a purity process Touch.. touch.. before the fall Before the fall, before the fall (Five more minutes and we'll all be dead) Temptation is food, open your mouth and accept it Open your mouth and accept it...
