Ballad of Torrens Street

Oh, I remember that I met her one dark night on Torrens Street
I told her she was beautiful; she said, "I think you're sweet"
We drank some whisky and Coke and we danced away till three
But it all went wrong when I asked her, "Will you come home with me?"

Were my motives insincere?
Is my conscience unclear?
Won't you take my hand, my dear?
Show me the way out of here

Among the smoke we move as one, becoming something else
We're dazzled by this decadence; in monochrome we dwell
Another night of tragedy: I'll try to make amends
Now the monsters under my bed have become my only friends

Were my motives insincere?
Is my conscience unclear?
Won't you take my hand, my dear?
Show me the way out of here
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way

The children of the night come out to play on Torrens Street
With eyeliner and pink champagne and fake blood on their teeth
See them shake to their foundation, cast an evil eye on me
In the shadow of the Angel in the dark on Torrens Street

Were my motives insincere?
Is my conscience unclear?
Won't you take my hand, my dear?
Show me the way out of here

Blackeyed

Watching a swollen sun over polluted seas
This barren planet's cancer, human disease
Crisis point approaching, atmosphere stripped away
Sterile, pale and empty garden of decay

Laughing as our world collapses
Nature rotting, blood corrupted
Skin dissolving, minds decay to madness
Profit margins bloated, deserts spreading
Never-ending worlds of shit and chrome bury us all

Fatal wounds inflicted, concrete encases green
Creation screams unheeded, warning signs unseen
Chlorinated, devastated: progress, profit, putrefaction
Mankind's direction: self-destruction

Laughing as our world collapses
Nature rotting, blood corrupted
Skin dissolving, minds decay to madness
Profit margins bloated, deserts spreading
Never-ending worlds of shit and chrome bury us all

Watching a swollen sun over polluted seas
This barren planet's cancer, human disease

Laughing as our world collapses
Nature rotting, blood corrupted
Skin dissolving, minds decay to madness
Profit margins bloated, deserts spreading
Never-ending worlds of shit and chrome bury us all

Fulfil the prophecy, we suck the bones clean
Oceans of acid, continents of filth
Walking excrement, defile the mother
Consumed by maggots in a planetary grave

Burn Sinister

Love is a story without meaning; write an ending for me now
Grave words so charming, so disarming — reach for me below
Is this stiffness rigor mortis? You'll be with me soon
Smell of formaldehyde and perfume: well, I feel the earth move

Come take me now, my love, among the cerements
Come kiss my ice-blue lips, my cold dead flesh

Liaisons in the mortuary are away from prying eyes
I am forever yours, my sweet: romance this rotten meat
Is this stiffness rigor mortis? You'll be with me soon
Smell of formaldehyde and perfume: well, I feel the earth move

Come take me now, my love, among the cerements
Come kiss my ice-blue lips, my cold dead flesh
My cold dead flesh
My cold dead flesh
My cold dead flesh
Come take me now, my love, among the cerements
Come kiss my ice-blue lips, my cold dead flesh
Come take me now, my love, among the cerements
Come kiss my ice-blue lips, my cold dead flesh
Yeah

I'm not dead, only waiting
Oh, I'm not dead, only waiting
Oh, I'm not dead, only waiting for you
I'm not dead, only waiting
Oh, I'm not dead, only waiting
Oh, I'm not dead, only waiting for you
For you
I'm not dead
Oh, I'm not dead
I'm not dead
I'm not dead
I'm not dead, only waiting
Oh, I'm not dead, only waiting
Oh, I'm not dead, only waiting for you
I'm not dead
I'm not dead
I'm not dead
I'm not dead
I'm not dead
Burn, burn, burn sinister, burn sinister
Burn, burn, burn

The Game

Are you the spider or the fly, mistress or victim?
Your ragged breath betrays your intention
Encased in second skin, sharp-heeled, you're burning
Entwined forever in these chains

And now the stakes are raised
I know you love to play
To play the game

Are you a candy-girl with time to kill, ability to thrill?
Can I trust you'll show a firm hand?
This moment lies between us; please don't resist, just give in to this
Won't you give in to me?

And now the stakes are raised
I know you love to play
To play the game

And now the stakes are raised
I know you love to play
To play the game
And now the stakes are raised
I know you love to play
To play the game
To play the game

Trick or treat?
Truth or dare?
Kiss and tell
Oh, I know you too well
Trick or treat?
Truth or dare?
Kiss and tell
Oh, I know you too well
I know you too well
I know you too well
I know you too well
I know you too well

H8Red

I've got you in my sights
And I'm not giving up until I've fucked you over
My life's work is your misery
It means everything to me to make you suffer
I won't let you forget me, no

It's such a high to see how low you can go
How sweet your agony can be: so pretty
Happiness is in the tears you cry, the music of your sighs
Savour the pain in your eyes

Because you turn my hatred into something beautiful
Something wonderful
Because you turn my anger into something worth living for

Ignorance becomes you
When you're all alone, you're feeling old and useless
Persecution is an art form
Oh, I'll make you wish you'd never been born
I won't let you forget me, no

Because you turn my hatred into something beautiful
Something wonderful
Because you turn my anger into something worth living for
You turn my hatred into something beautiful
Something wonderful
Because you turn my anger into something worth living for, for, for
Yeah

Kelly Told Me

Kelly told me what you did last night
Kelly said you came to her after I turned off her light
Through her tears she told me of the special hugs you gave
"Don't be scared," you told her, "just do what I say"

You think you'll get away with this
Think I'll hear your lying words
Now I'm onto you, I will make you pay

Kelly told me what you did
Kelly told me what you did
Kelly told me, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Kelly's only seven now, and you should know
I feel sick to think that even you could sink this low
All the years of beatings and I thought that I could cope
Now you turn your hand to her, my only joy, my only hope

You think you'll get away with this
Think I'll hear your lying words
Now I'm onto you, I will make you pay

Kelly told me what you did
Kelly told me what you did
Kelly told me what you did
She told me what you did

Nailed

I am the empty one, the wasted chromosome
Take me from this place and make it your own
Forever the possessed, I am crucified
Strung up by your hate, betrayed by my lies

If you could see my ending, a tragedy untold
Amidst the wreckage of our lives I lost my hope
Christ alone knows how I feel, pierced and bleeding, dumb and reeling
Forgive me, for I know what I do

You turn away; you leave me broken
You shatter me now with words unspoken
You turn away; you leave me broken
You shatter me now with words unspoken

What science bonded you and I? What magnets held us here
In this collage of nightmare, this minuet of tears?
Cast aside the curtains; let the true light shine
As love turns to dust, kiss me one last time

You turn away; you leave me broken
You shatter me now with words unspoken
You turn away; you leave me broken
You shatter me now with words unspoken

You turn away; you leave me broken
You shatter me now with words unspoken
You turn away; you leave me broken
You shatter me now with words unspoken

I'm nailed to you, become the thing I hated
I'm nailed to you
Oh I'm nailed to you, become the thing I hated
I'm nailed to you
Oh I'm nailed to you

I'd rather die than ever let you touch me again
I'd rather die
I'd rather die than ever let you touch me again
I'd rather die

I'd rather die than ever let you touch me again
I'd rather die
I'd rather die than ever let you touch me again
I'd rather die

I'm nailed to you, become the thing I hated
I'm nailed to you
I'm nailed to you, become the thing I hated
I'm nailed to you

Pray

The impulses we planted have taken over
Your body jerks to our commands; your mind is our machine
Subliminal distortions will pander to your weakness
Automaton, your will is gone: our power is unquestioned

There is no hope for you
There is no turning back
There is no rapture, no transcendence, no redemption
No prayer

We shall dictate the beat; control the urge to move your feet
Your instincts we shall exploit, your dreams extinguish
The revolution come too soon to make you dance to our tune
The domination of your race, the jackboot in your face

There is no hope for you
There is no turning back
There is no rapture, no transcendence, no redemption
There is no hope for you
There is no turning back
There is no rapture, no transcendence, no redemption
No prayer
There is no hope
There is no hope
There is no hope
No prayer

We shall laugh as you die; don't ask the reasons why
Your faith we shall consume; your faith we shall destroy

There is no hope for you
There is no turning back
There is no rapture, no transcendence, no redemption
There is no hope for you
There is no turning back
There is no rapture, no transcendence, no redemption
No prayer

Send in the Clowns

Send in the ones who elected to lead us
Send in the liars, the fools, the deceivers
Send in the filth-fisted manipulators
Send in the jesters, the prancing dictators

Well we need entertaining
So send in the clowns
Won't you send in the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Won't you send in the clowns?
Won't you, won't you, won't you

Send in the grease-painted bloodsucking leeches
Send in the word-twisting saprophyte bleaters
Send in the bloated, the greedy, the slick
Send in the maggots, the eaters of shit

Well we need entertaining
So send in the clowns
Won't you send in the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Won't you send in the clowns?
Won't you, won't you, won't you
Stop?

Well the world's dying fast and they think it's a joke
God give me strength and a good length of rope
Well, enjoy the show, if you still can
The curtain falls down

So send in the clowns
Won't you send in the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Won't you send in the clowns?
Won't you, won't you, won't you
Stop?

Touched by Jesus (Intra-Venus Mix)

Such a sweet child she was
Touched by Jesus she was
Always one with her God

Drunk on altar wine and high on burning scripture
Scandal in the convent I never would have believed
Always so respectful, delicate and helpful
Rosary clasped to her breast; everybody loved her

Such a sweet child she was
Touched by Jesus she was
Always one with her God

Raising hell — they said she could never be this way
Eyes ablaze, she taunts them: "Sammael, come dance with me"
Covering offended eyes, they flee this resurrection
Pray to save her soul: she will make them crawl

Such a sweet child she was
Touched by Jesus she was
Always one with her God

Embrace the saviour
Take the hand of the one who betrayed you
Well they can't hurt you no more
Embrace the saviour
Take the hand of the one who betrayed you
Well they can't hurt you no more

Suffer to come unto him: original sin
Crushed by millennia of guilt, push the knife in to the hilt

Such a sweet child she was
Touched by Jesus she was
Always one with her God
Such a sweet child she was
Touched by Jesus she was
Always one with her God

Embrace the saviour
Take the hand of the one who betrayed you
Well they can't hurt you no more
Embrace the saviour
Take the hand of the one who betrayed you
Well they can't hurt you no more

She loves her heresy: don't try to tell her what to be
She loves her heresy: don't try to tell her what to be

Such a sweet child she was
Touched by Jesus she was
Such a sweet child she was
Touched by Jesus she was
Always one with her God

Always one with her God

Veil of Seduction

My precious girl, oh, I will lead you astray
Into my world of pleasure and pain
Latex, cheap fur and lace, martini and cocaine
I will use you, bleed you, leave you pleading for more

Perspectives change when you're on your knees
Share our delight, our needles, our HIV
I suck the light from your eyes
I am the father of lies
I will use you, bleed you, leave you pleading for more

Behind the veil of seduction
Sweet corruption, self-destruction
You feed my sickness with love

My precious girl, oh, I will lead you astray
Into my world of pleasure and pain
Latex, cheap fur and lace, martini and cocaine
I will use you, bleed you, leave you pleading for more

Behind the veil of seduction
Sweet corruption, self-destruction
You feed my sickness with love
With love
With love
With love
With love
With love
I said with love
I said with love
I said with love, oh
With love

Whipping Boy

Degraded is my middle name, written in black and blue
Beneath the shadow of the cane, whatever you ask, I'll do
A smile dances on your lips; I lie here bloated, twisted
A sharp word scalds me, blessed with scars that testify that

I am your whipping boy
A gelded thing and broken toy
Oh, I am your whipping boy
A gelded thing and broken toy

The blows that show your love, bestowed upon this slave
Within the velvet glove, the iron fist I crave
The bonds between us are so tight; this punishment my need
I'll wait for you tonight; tie me up to set me free, yeah

I am your whipping boy
A gelded thing and broken toy
Oh, I am your whipping boy
A gelded thing and broken toy

Degraded is my middle name, written in black and blue
Beneath the shadow of the cane, whatever you ask, I'll do
A smile dances on your lips; I lie here bloated, twisted
A sharp word scalds me, blessed with scars that testify that

I am your whipping boy
A gelded thing and broken toy
Oh, I am your whipping boy
A gelded thing and broken toy
I am your whipping boy
A gelded thing and broken toy
Oh, I am your whipping boy
A gelded thing and broken, broken toy
