Drown Your Sorrow
05:50
|
|||
Drown your sorrow, bury your dead
Weeping willow, make your bed
In the stones and silent sand
Drown your sorrow and be damned
Drink your blood, breathe your air
Fill your cup, have your share
Of love and life, and death and war
Drown your sorrow and blame the law
Blame the law!
Drown your sorrow, claim your land
Let them follow, your bleeding hand
All my life I’ve been told
To drown my sorrow in your gold
I’ll drown my sorrow in your gold
Drown your sorrows in your gold

Beware The Djinn
02:57
|
|||
With her crimson crown of ashes made
Her viking eyes and her veils of Jade
She turns her gaze from the sun to the shade
Where lurks the Djinn to whom all sins are paid
Then he shall beckon with a finger of flame
His serpentine eyes shall devour the dame
With puritan lust and devoid of all shame
The Djinn conquers her will and her body is claimed
And as his slave, she begins to sing…
“Beware the Djinn, for he lives within
Beneath the folds of human skin
Beware, beware the Djinn
Beware the Djinn, for he is your kin
Beneath the trials of human sin
Beware, beware the Djinn”

I was myth
You held me sacred
You held me close to your heart
I was illusion
You made me perfect
You made me into your faith
I was myth
You made a martyr
You built another shrine to sin
Another illusion
To calm your labour
And when your saviour comes, he’ll lie
Believe me
Bereave me
Lay me down in your scripture
Blame me
In your court
And let myth abound in thought
You were myth
I held you sacred
I held you close to my heart
You were illusion
I made you perfect
I made you into my faith
I’ll believe you
I’ll grieve for you
I’ll lay you down in my scripture
I’ll blame you
I’ll frame you
And I’ll judge you for my war
Lie, lie, lie!
All you know
Lie, lie, lie!
All you are
Blood and cream
Breath and bone
Love all dreams
Mother moan
Blood and cream

O Silver Faery
03:26
|
|||
O silver faery
Hold your head up high
Your ribbons in the sky
Touch the ground
O mother Mary
Let your lamp follow
For hidden in the snow
Shall be found
My fair and silver maiden
With gems for lips and eyes of May
Our fair father shall awaken
The blooming buds of day
O silver faery
Shall you be my light?
Ease my fright
And take my crown
My fair and silver maiden
With gems for lips and eyes of May
Our fair father shall awaken
The blooming buds of day

Guru
04:57
|

I call you guru
I call you feeder
You are my shivering gold
I call you voodoo
I call you my witchcraft, I do
You are my reason to bow
Your dominion is demise and greed
And your killers made of marble breed
Another lie, you start to bleed
I see through you, I see through you
I call you voodoo
I call you my witchcraft, I do
You are my reason to bow
I call you guru
I call you feeder
You are my shivering gold
When your brethren born of ashes flee
And your spirits are all alive are free
Your sin becomes akin to me
I see through you, I see through you
I will not follow you
I will not martyr you
I will not live for you
I will not die for you
Your dominion is demise and greed
And your killers made of marble breed
Another lie, you start to bleed
I see through you, I see through you

The Widow
04:29
|
|||
The wind is a widow
The sun is in fever
And oh my wit is low
The sky is a saviour
The soul is a slave now
And oh my wit is low
My wit is low, oh yeah
The right of the reaper
The rain is in armour
And only her voice will do
The darkness a dreamer
Born of a woman
And only her voice will do
Her voice will do, oh yeah
Hear me, hear me, hear me
My water, my widow
The Lord and the lava
The fall of the father
With all your eyes aglow
Follow the river
Follow your martyr
And tell him what you know
Tell him what you know, oh yeah
Hear me, hear me, hear me
My water, my widow
Hear me, hear me
What do you know, my widow?

The Colour Fades
03:34
|
|||
I feel blue
I feel green
Of many shades
The colour fades
I feel yellow
I feel suede
When I’m made
The colours fade
And many lies are true
Of me and you
And many days are night
For you and I
To be in love
To be in love
Would you believe in living?
Surely…
What I am is what you will never, ever be
