There's a crystal view from my window
And I can see years to come
I live for the burn and the sting of pleasure
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun
I can tear down the walls, storm them barricades
Run to the place where the frightened crawl
Desire lurks beyond good and evil
So dance on the graves where the hammer falls
[Chorus]
Over this land
All over this wasteland
Over this land
All over this wasteland
You can touch, but please keep your distance
You're innocent and pure and with no shame
The spirit is willing, and the flesh is great
Your teasing your torment with the pleasure of pain
[Chorus]
Heaven and Hell, I know them well
But I haven't yet made my choice
I'm feeling dead 'cause I'm shouting loud
And no one can hear my voice
Walking the tightwire, can't look down
Strung out high, above you all
Faithful wind blows through this land
Howls my name, Hell is my fall.
[Chorus]

Bridges Burning
Snow blind, dog tired, snow blind
And barb wired, last chance in the jungle trance
And the fast step of the monkey dance craze
War paint, misty days and dizzy faint
Keeping the faith, spinning turning
Watch the flames of bridges burning
Turning colors and shedding skin, shining brightly
Thick and thin, mirror of Gods, legend and myth
The fatal charm of the treasure, gift wrapped
And heaven sent, so trapped on islands of intent
Avenging angel of the wild and yearning
Stoke the flames of bridges burning
Burning me over, bridges burning
Burning, drives me wild, yearning for the small child
Blind men cry but shed no tears, see no evil
Speak in tongues and hear you say, lovers leap
'cause there's no other way across waters deep
Feel the fire and the fool is learning
To run from the flames of bridges burning
And barb wired, last chance in the jungle trance
And the fast step of the monkey dance craze
War paint, misty days and dizzy faint
Keeping the faith, spinning turning
Watch the flames of bridges burning
Turning colors and shedding skin, shining brightly
Thick and thin, mirror of Gods, legend and myth
The fatal charm of the treasure, gift wrapped
And heaven sent, so trapped on islands of intent
Avenging angel of the wild and yearning
Stoke the flames of bridges burning
Burning me over, bridges burning
Burning, drives me wild, yearning for the small child
Blind men cry but shed no tears, see no evil
Speak in tongues and hear you say, lovers leap
'cause there's no other way across waters deep
Feel the fire and the fool is learning
To run from the flames of bridges burning

Garden of Delight (Hereafter)
I see your dancing, laughing, naked, sweet and pretty face
And the promise burning brightly in your crystal-shot eyes
Your savage and violent flesh, the cut that bleeds, the kiss that stings
We're shooting up stars and desperate snows
That fall from shimmering skies
So take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Revelation is laid and reflects on the windswept liquid mirror
Of this breathless whirl, this happy death, this elegance and charm
The treasured and precious first fleeting touch of a gracious stranger
Enchant me and entrance me, I know you can do me no harm
So, take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So, take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
We're playing with fire, dancing in the flames
And we're covered in burns that may never heal
And angels may come, and angels may go
But it's heaven on earth
When you take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So, take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So, take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden
And the promise burning brightly in your crystal-shot eyes
Your savage and violent flesh, the cut that bleeds, the kiss that stings
We're shooting up stars and desperate snows
That fall from shimmering skies
So take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Revelation is laid and reflects on the windswept liquid mirror
Of this breathless whirl, this happy death, this elegance and charm
The treasured and precious first fleeting touch of a gracious stranger
Enchant me and entrance me, I know you can do me no harm
So, take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So, take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
We're playing with fire, dancing in the flames
And we're covered in burns that may never heal
And angels may come, and angels may go
But it's heaven on earth
When you take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So, take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So, take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden

Stay With Me
Books and covers and part time lovers
Spinning rooms in cities of rust
I'm stranded, struck out on this line
Of smoke and fire and steel and wire
And glass and spire and dust
On to the floor at dawn with lips taught and drawn
Sleepless nights I've spent with angels heaven sent
Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side
Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside
Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me
Stay, with me
Stay, with me
Born of the sign of air and the twins
Speak of days and another place
I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon
Speak of time and another face
A wayward and languid cry a fleeting and furtive sigh
From the cradle to the grave a love to desire and crave
Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side
Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside
Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me
Stay, with me
Stay, with me
I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you
But don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go
You are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold
Your promise is as pure as the driven snow
Passing ships in the night a touch distraught and light
Eyes that brightly shine, your love tonight is mine
Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side
Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside
Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me
Stay, with me
Stay, with me
Spinning rooms in cities of rust
I'm stranded, struck out on this line
Of smoke and fire and steel and wire
And glass and spire and dust
On to the floor at dawn with lips taught and drawn
Sleepless nights I've spent with angels heaven sent
Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side
Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside
Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me
Stay, with me
Stay, with me
Born of the sign of air and the twins
Speak of days and another place
I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon
Speak of time and another face
A wayward and languid cry a fleeting and furtive sigh
From the cradle to the grave a love to desire and crave
Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side
Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside
Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me
Stay, with me
Stay, with me
I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you
But don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go
You are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold
Your promise is as pure as the driven snow
Passing ships in the night a touch distraught and light
Eyes that brightly shine, your love tonight is mine
Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side
Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside
Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me
Stay, with me
Stay, with me

Blood Brother
I gave you flowers and you gave me faith
We of minds and hearts that move as one
Chameleon, warrior, gypsy and brave
We turn our eyes to the heart of the rising sun
You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother, lay down your life for me
Lay down your love for me
Kiss by kiss, touch by touch
We tore the clouds apart
You took my hand and walked me through the rain
An act of love, a mission of tender mercy
We stood tall and proud together we conquered again
You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother, lay down your life for me
Lay down your love for me
We pulled no punch and we gave them hell
Made the fearless cry and the shameful tell
Mountains and sand and seas and land
We moved winds to calm
And we rose again to win the war to
Rule and reign our hearts to soar
Heads held high, we touched the sky and we kissed,
The ever faithful moon
We of minds and hearts that move as one
Chameleon, warrior, gypsy and brave
We turn our eyes to the heart of the rising sun
You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother, lay down your life for me
Lay down your love for me
Kiss by kiss, touch by touch
We tore the clouds apart
You took my hand and walked me through the rain
An act of love, a mission of tender mercy
We stood tall and proud together we conquered again
You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother, lay down your life for me
Lay down your love for me
We pulled no punch and we gave them hell
Made the fearless cry and the shameful tell
Mountains and sand and seas and land
We moved winds to calm
And we rose again to win the war to
Rule and reign our hearts to soar
Heads held high, we touched the sky and we kissed,
The ever faithful moon

Let Sleeping Dogs Die
There's the crime of passion
And the crime of revenge
But the worst crime of all
Is the crime of regret
Speak of the devil
And the devil may speak of you
Why can we
Let sleeping dogs die
Deep, it cuts deep
And the affection it grows
And heaven only knows
What you were to earth
And the giving birth
To the giving rounds of judgement
And by fact of reason you accuse of treason
Claim betrayal to the Holy Ghost
Of the sacred past
Its fading fast and forever
You took my hand
And turned it over
Why can't we let sleeping dogs die
No devil so dark
As the devil I knew
There's no love lost
And no reason why
Talk, of faith you talk
But you were the one intent on stun
You took my glory and pride
Sanctity defied
And you never knew
What the gods could bring
By playing the game
Of whose to blame
It gets harder all the time
To put my trust in you
So reverence please
Let sleeping dogs die
Let sleeping dogs die
Let sleeping dogs die
And the crime of revenge
But the worst crime of all
Is the crime of regret
Speak of the devil
And the devil may speak of you
Why can we
Let sleeping dogs die
Deep, it cuts deep
And the affection it grows
And heaven only knows
What you were to earth
And the giving birth
To the giving rounds of judgement
And by fact of reason you accuse of treason
Claim betrayal to the Holy Ghost
Of the sacred past
Its fading fast and forever
You took my hand
And turned it over
Why can't we let sleeping dogs die
No devil so dark
As the devil I knew
There's no love lost
And no reason why
Talk, of faith you talk
But you were the one intent on stun
You took my glory and pride
Sanctity defied
And you never knew
What the gods could bring
By playing the game
Of whose to blame
It gets harder all the time
To put my trust in you
So reverence please
Let sleeping dogs die
Let sleeping dogs die
Let sleeping dogs die

Sacrilege
Tarot strewn across the floor
Fate creeps under the creaking door
Say farewell to the salad days
Arms held out for the needle haze
Scars, scars start to show
But don't, don't despair for the shame I know
Bible for the love and damned
Religion for the pagan man
Faith and prayer for the chosen few
Mystic shades of violent hue
Blood, blood on my cheeks
And the taste
The taste of ash curls across my tongue
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Rape and pillage the sacred word
Heart of darkness crowned and stirred
Rite of passage reckless whirl
Fruit forbidden ritual swirl
And you, what can you do?
And I, I say there's nothing you can do to stop this
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Tarot strewn across the floor
Fate creeps under the creaking door
Say farewell to the salad days
Arms held out for the needle haze
Scars, scars start to show
But don't, don't despair for the shame I know
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Fate creeps under the creaking door
Say farewell to the salad days
Arms held out for the needle haze
Scars, scars start to show
But don't, don't despair for the shame I know
Bible for the love and damned
Religion for the pagan man
Faith and prayer for the chosen few
Mystic shades of violent hue
Blood, blood on my cheeks
And the taste
The taste of ash curls across my tongue
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Rape and pillage the sacred word
Heart of darkness crowned and stirred
Rite of passage reckless whirl
Fruit forbidden ritual swirl
And you, what can you do?
And I, I say there's nothing you can do to stop this
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Tarot strewn across the floor
Fate creeps under the creaking door
Say farewell to the salad days
Arms held out for the needle haze
Scars, scars start to show
But don't, don't despair for the shame I know

Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn

Dance On Glass
It's no shot in the dark
And no trick of the light
You tease me taunt me
Talking dirty sitting pretty
You lay me down and anoint my wounds
Dust up, bust up, let's get down to the nitty-gritty
You call on favors promised and sworn
Changing names and changing places
The blade digs deep
And the cut begins to sting
There's more to this than reason
Or the old familiar rhythm and rhyme
Take me shake me lead me
To the floor and hey let's swing
And the dance goes on
And the dance goes on and on
And the dance goes on
And the dance goes on and on and on and on
We're going up in flames
We're burning up in a blaze of glory
Don't put fire into the hands
Of the weak and faint, the weak and frail
Tripping the light fantastic
Let's celebrate our great escape
For goodness sake, it's all the same
The sinner and saint, heaven and hell
And the dance goes on
And the dance goes on and on
And the dance goes on
And the dance goes on and on and on and on
We're going up in flames
We're burning up in a blaze of glory
Don't put fire into the hands
Of the weak and faint, the weak and frail
Tripping the light fantastic
Let's celebrate our great escape
For goodness sake, it's all the same
The sinner and saint, heaven and hell
And the dance goes on
And the dance goes on and on
And the dance goes on
And the dance goes on and on and on and on.

Talking dirty sitting pretty
You lay me down and anoint my wounds
Dust up, bust up, let's get down to the nitty-gritty

Love Me To Death
Let me come inside your ivory tower
Let me come inside your hallowed walls
God, it's heaven in here
Fix me with your hand of grace
Fix me with your touch of precious thrill
Your fingers dance across my skin
Reaching out for the pride of man
We're hand in hand, we're flesh in flesh
We're walking through the fire of love
And breath by breath, and flame by flame
We burn 'til the sun rises and shines hard
And love come gushing, love runs free
My love comes all over you
My love comes for you
Love me to death, my flower
Run barefoot through my hair
Naked on my lips
Love me to death, my precious
Smother me with kisses
Drown me in your waves of flowing sweetness
Hold me dear, and bury me deep
Bless me with your word of savage honor
We love more by fate than design
So give me your hand and I'll gladly give you my life
My flower, that sways in the breeze
You must be stronger than the winds that blow you away
Blow you away
Love me to death, my precious
Run barefoot through my hair
Dance wild on my lips
Love me to death, my flower
Lay me down on your bed of petals
Cover me with your honey, my blossom
Love me to death
Love me to death
Love me to death, my flower
Love me to death, my treasure
Run bare foot through my hair
Dance wild on my heart
Love me to death, my precious
Love me to death, my love
Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Softly love me to death
Love me to death
Let me come inside your hallowed walls
God, it's heaven in here
Fix me with your hand of grace
Fix me with your touch of precious thrill
Your fingers dance across my skin
Reaching out for the pride of man

We're walking through the fire of love
And breath by breath, and flame by flame

Island In A Stream
A silver moon and a singing breeze
I'm walking out under the stars
I light a cigarette and watch the smoke
As it chases my dreams away
I turn my gaze out to the sea
And watch as the waves come tumbling in
Off in the distance, an angel cries
As the ship of the line comes into bay
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
Building castles and flying flags
And my lips begin to sting
I feel the sand beneath my feet
And my Halloween heart begins to sing
The flashing light warns of danger here
But the ship comes on sailing in
I run for shore and a way to hide
I need a time and a place to think
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I look around to find a friend for life
Seeking refuge in your arms
Splinters of ice, thin, sharp and cold
Pierce my freezing skin
By the skill of your embrace
You show me a grave new world
And against the tide and dashed on the rocks
The ship of the line comes on in
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I'm walking out under the stars
I light a cigarette and watch the smoke
As it chases my dreams away
I turn my gaze out to the sea
And watch as the waves come tumbling in
Off in the distance, an angel cries
As the ship of the line comes into bay
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
Building castles and flying flags
And my lips begin to sting
I feel the sand beneath my feet
And my Halloween heart begins to sing
The flashing light warns of danger here
But the ship comes on sailing in
I run for shore and a way to hide
I need a time and a place to think

I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I'm just an island in a stream
I'm all at sea, come rescue me
I look around to find a friend for life

And against the tide and dashed on the rocks
