Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
Let me release you from your tangled skein Burn down your temples and your holy shrines Sift through the ashes for the truth that shines No more weeping or wringing of hands Come with me to the promised land Close your eyes and we’ll go down slow We’re gonna drown in the afterglow In the aftermath of babylon All the pimps and whores have gone All the guilt has been laid to rest Just remember mother never knew best Tear down the walls raze them to the ground Your ivory tower we’ll burn it down And in the evening when the sun gets low We’re gonna drown in the afterglow |

All I ever need is the truth but I all ever want is affection
Masquerade as Jesus Christ and suffer the crucifixion Lips that speak of love eternal come heal my savaged skin Cast aside all thought of revenge searching for Nirvana within And God only knows my belief holds strong The wisdom comes when the heart suffers long And I'm shedding tears for Judas a kiss may betray And I'm on the side of angels on the heels of a dream a ghost to lay A hard reign may fall and a cruel wind may blow The moon may be pale and I may never know The need for silence but I can see hope in the wind in the rain Lay belief on me my angel child The actor and the poet martyr castles carved in sand Delight and the promise of Eden lay in the touch of your hand As sweet as sin sweeter still the taste The way of all flesh lay me to waste And heaven knows that the meek shall inherit the earth Lay belief on me my angel child Behold a silent ocean in a precious grain of sand And if I have to explain then you'll never understand My petals are strewn scattered by the breeze It's whispered in the wind echoes through the trees Love's a disease and it rips me apart Come heal my ravaged heart Lay belief on me my angel child |

There's a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart
There's tears in my eyes, 'cos we're an ocean apart There's nothing quite as real as being on my own Nothing quite as true as being all alone This bird has flown But when the summer has passed she'll come back home Love, come wing your way Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay Love, come wing your way Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me May you stay with me forever With the change of seasons, she flies her nest And like the sun at dusk, she sets to the west Loneliness is the cross I bear Solitude is the cloak I wear I miss you, I need you, I love you When the autumn comes I'll be waiting for you Love, come wing your way Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay Love, come wing your way Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me May you stay with me forever Forever, forever, forever |

Listen
To the silence Of the breaking of my heart From a lowly vale To the rolling hills You and I Lie worlds apart Time is catching my breath As love bleeds slowly to death Black mountain mist Take me back again Black mountain mist Come carry me home And sleep Is stirring dreams Of innocence and yesterday When the sun shone bright And high in the sky And we lived in hope Of come what may Forever with laughter we cried And the truth is never could we have lied Black mountain mist Take me back again Black mountain mist Come carry me home And when the rain comes To clear away the mist Feel it's caress Feel it's embrace Feel it's wasting kiss Black mountain mist Take me back again Black mountain mist Come carry me home Black mountain mist Come carry me carry me home Carry me carry me home |

Every time that I look in the mirror,
all these lines on my face getting clearer. The past that's gone, In the night like dusk to dawn. (Not sure about that) Isn't that the way? Everybody's got their price in life to pay. I know nobody knows, Where it comes and where it goes. I know everybody sins; You've got the truth to throw away. (Not sure about that) Half my life's in books' written pages, Live and learn from fools and from sages. You know it's true; All these feelings come back to you. Sing with me, sing for the year, Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear. Sing with me, just for today, Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away. Dream on, dream on, dream on, Dream until your dreams come true. Every time that you look in the mirror, All those lines on your face getting clearer. You know it's true; All these feelings are coming back to you. Sing with me, sing for the year, Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear. Sing with me, just for today, Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away. Dream on, dream on, dream on, Dream until your dreams come true. Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, Dream on, dream on, dream on, yeah. |

Some crazy holy roller trying to sell you Jesus
Trying to sell you helter skelter He sells you genocide, he sells you kingdom come Now watch the little piggies run for shelter Cease to exist, just come and say you love me Welcome to the family, meet Sadie and Gypsy They'll creepy crawly under your skin And every time a bell tolls, and you've blood on your hands An angel, an angel gets her wings Cease to exist, just come and say you love me And you had Jesus until I came along So come and join this freak show of mine There's a place for you with use, a place for you in Heaven All that glitters is not gold, in Heaven Even you may shine He preaches revelation, chapter and verse And all dead swine grow up a sacred cow Too many Christ's and never enough crosses Who shall we crucify now? Cease to exist, just come and say you love me Shine on |

From one Jesus to another napalm can be a treat
Religion is only cold comfort 'cos Judas Iscariot was a cheat Bullet holes in my mirror and a minefield across my floor I don't want to be a soldier, don't want to fight someone else's war I don't need no Hare Krishna I don't need no primal scream I don't need no mantra chant I don't need no self esteem I'll take to bed John the Walrus 'cause my Baudelaire has been pawned Plagued by demons, deceived by angels What little devils have we spawned? And Buddha sits on my shelf shooting up Edgar Allan Poe And I'll dream in 'Forbidden Colours' just like Vincent van Gogh I don't need no suit of armour I don't need no sword and shield I don't need no immortality I don't need no Elysian fields I don't need no lollipops or rainbows I don't need no hare of the hound I don't want to be mummy or daddy I don't need no duty bound It's bedlam just like Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse causes a scandal Kahil Gibran was a junkyard and Genghis Khan was a vandal And I fell in love with Marilyn Monroe and Then Kennedy told me she'd died And anyway, if it came to a choice, I'd take Mata Hari for my bride I don't need no religion or faith I don't need no collusion I don't need no spiritual healing I don't need no selfdelusion And Jesus walks on water But does he ever walk on air? I'm getting lost again, mummy, scared again, daddy And the beauty of it all is I no longer care. |

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 (chorus) 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 world, this Happy Death This elegance in charm The treasured first fleeting touch of a gracious stranger In-charmed me and entranced me I know you can do me no harm, so (chorus) 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 (chorus) |

The sweat upon his brow and the dirt worked into his hands
The dignity of labour upon a man's own land The soil of his fathers passes on down through blood to hand A man's right of birth to reap the harvest from his land The breaking of his back to keep his dream alive To work the change of season his instinct to survive The planting of his seed and to see his harvest grow Gives a pride to a man to reap the harvest that he sows The land of the free, home of the brave The heartland of pioneers, the heritage of flesh and blood And along come the winds that blow through the land With a price to pay for the working man Money talks and changes hands And money reaps the harvest money demands The grapes of wrath They can take away his freedom they can beat him into the dust They can burn his home, run him from his land, and leave him out to gather rust But they can't take away his faith and his honesty and pride And the knowledge that he holds inside One day they'll reap the harvest The grapes of wrath There's hope in a man that nothing can destroy A man will endure anything for the dream that he holds dear And there's pride in a man who knows the truth His faith in the earth he toils for His honesty for the air he breathes The truth of the harvest they will reap The grapes of wrath |

Every time I think of you it's like the last beat of my heart
The memory of leaving you is tearing me apart No waves, no tears, no backward glance But I'll always hold you dear Never regret but I'll never forget 'Cause there's not enough heaven here Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you Across the waves, across the water Hands, across the ocean Ocean And every time I'm missing you I just can't let it show And every time I want to cry, I just can't let it go Wine and song and masquerade and refuge holds me dear Ribbons and lace and daisy chains But there's not enough heaven here Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you Across the waves, across the water, reaching out for you Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you Across the waves, across the water Hands, across the ocean Bangles, beads and lipstick games And comfort holds me dear Velvet and lace and perfumed sheets But there's not enough heaven Not enough heaven here Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you Across the waves, across the water, reaching out for you Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you Across the waves, across the water Hands, across the ocean Ocean Ocean Ocean Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you Across the waves, across the water Hands, across the ocean |

Mumbo jumbo, listen to the whispers of madness
We have climbed mountains of dust We have seen gold gather rust Hocus pocus the stampede of my heart We have sailed on the stars through the air We have flown on the wings of a prayer Into the blue, only with you Into the blue, only with you, into the blue Gasoline rainbows swimming in the puddles in the street Whichever way the wind blows we've got the whole damn World crawling at our feet Laughing canyons and everglades Candle flames and razor blades Dancing through the poppy fields, hand in hand we cascade Into the blue, only with you Into the blue, only with you, into the blue There's a singing dwarf on the streets of New York There's a shuffling man with plastic on his head There's a preacher woman crying in the traffic Crying for the living crying for the dead The waste of it all, the waste of it all And there's more at stake than we could ever know 'Cos when we're together we always fall Into the blue, only with you Into the blue, only with you, into the blue |

The silver moon and a singing breeze
I'm walking out under the stars Light a cigarette, and watch the smoke As it chases my dreams away I turn and 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 (Chorus) 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 hallowing heart begins to sing The flashing light warns of danger here, But the ship come on, sailing in I run for the shores, and away to hide I need a time and a place to think. (Chorus) 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 I was scared 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 (Chorus) (Chorus) |

Let me come inside your hallowed walls God, it's heaven in here Fix me with your hand of praise Fix me with your touch of precious thrills Your fingers dance across my skin Reaching out for the pride of man Hand in hand, flesh in flesh We're walking through the fire of love Breath by breath, and flame by flame We burn till the sun rises and shines hot Love comes 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 falling sweetness Hold me dear, bury me deep Bless me with your word of savage honour We love more by fate than design So give me your hand and I'll gladly give you my life A 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 barefoot 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 |

from The Mission - The First Chapter (2007)
The cool cruel sleaze, hungry and wild and crawling
Through the storm that breaks and clears away the vicious and violent heat Breathe deep, breathe long and hard Kiss and caress the hand that feeds Love me primitive betraying lips And the treacherous heart of the savage breed Hollow eyes only cry hollow tears And the tingling flesh that melts away The scars and fears that the shameless years Leave laughing and dancing On a wasted and tattered dream Cry hollow tears, that stifle the tortured kiss and scream Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage the coll cruel sleaze hungry and wild and crawling Through the storm that breaks and clears away the vicious and violent heat Breathe deep, breathe long and hard Kiss and caress the hand that feeds Love me primitive, betraying lips And the treacherous heart,of the savage breed Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage Tarnish, taint and punish me softly Kiss the heavens where the angels tread Love is the corpse that crawls on dreams Rips them apart and tears them to shreds Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage |

from The Mission - Masque (1999)
It's never been like this
It's never been like this, no I've never felt like this before And it was just around sunrise when you crept out the door Left me ragged and worn but left me, Left me wanting more, more, more Let's do this all again Let's do this all again Let's do it all again Let's do this all again, do it all again sometime Sometime And do you remember Paris in the rain? And it looks just like Christmas But that's come and gone again And the wild cats roaming in among the tombs and graves And the flickering white neon of the cross and "Jesus Saves" And the headlights like fires and the crowds in the streets Children dressed in rags begging at our feet And we crawled back to our room With our heads spinning 'round And we just lay in the dark And didn't dare make a sound And a sorrow soft as whispers stole into our hearts Lay down between us and pushed us apart And do you remember the silence scorched with pain? A burning regret, let's never do this again Again Let's never do this again |
