A scarlet sunset
the threshold to nightplay
A sinful oath is to be sworn
A beckoning bloodlust
among the seekers
Tyrranic hunger yearns
A gathering in flames and fires -
Devil's daughters dance
Scourged in filth, obscene and lewd -
Longing for dark desires
The nocturnal beast appears
in an evil despotic shape
Expectant watching gracelessly
before demanding the sluts of lust
Before demanding the sluts of lust
(the Beast:)
"Come forth harlots, let's begin!"
(the Beast approaches:)
"Rise and give praise in front of Me
and recieve eternal life from Me!
Welcome my spirit in honor of Me!
So drink of the blood I provide you
and you shall all forever wander in
the shadows of death...!
(the chanting whores:)
"Oh yes, Master! Let us recieve
Thine offer and drink with Thee!
And become a part of Thy realm
with lust, sex and sodomy -
for we are those who seek life eternally...!
(the Beast):
"Blood is life and it shall be all ours!"(Graeme Edge)
Once more I've loved I've laughed and I've lost
Now I'm alone left counting the cost
Once more sweet child of middling years
Basted again in bitter-sweet tears
I will survive solitude
But come alive
I'll love anew
(Note that the CD booklet gives this line as "Although the new")
Somebody tell me you love me
Somebody tell me you care
I've got a heart full of giving
Going nowhere (going nowhere)
Daylight will come and steal the night sights
Starlight on black replaced with gray light
Now I must go out and set my best pace
Running all day in the human race
But now I know the good news
Before you win you have to lose
Somebody tell me you love me (somebody tell me)
Somebody tell me you care (tell me you care)
I've got a heart full of giving
Going nowhere (going nowhere)
How much longer must I travel on
Looking for someone to help me (help me) sing my song
How much longer will it be
I need to find someone
For the love (find someone for the life, of me)
From me
Somebody tell me you love me (somebody tell me)
Somebody tell me you care (tell me you care)
I've got a heart full of giving
Going nowhere (going nowhere)
