In this world of snow and cold I'll hide
In this world of ice I've built with pride
Of all things that I'd most like to receive
There's just one thing I really want this Christmas Eve
I believe, I believe it's you
I know you're out there waiting in the cold
All shimmering and blue and warm to hold
And if I try and really do believe
I'll get just what I'm waiting for this Christmas Eve
I believe, I believe it's you
Nothing can compare, nothing can come close to you
Nothing can compare, nothing else will ever do
Nothing can compare, nothing can come close to you
Nothing can compare, nothing else will ever do
Buried in the snow I'll wait for you
And keep on wishing till my dream comes true
I feel your touch, it melts the world away
We'll be together in the light of Christmas Day
Far away, far away with you
What on earth went wrong?
Just tell me what went wrong
Can't understand just how you feel
I know the end is near
But I no longer fear
That what we had was so unreal
Why can't you feel it? You had to know
How could you steal it?
Let me break you
Let me break you
You made it all so mad
Love or control gone bad
It seems to me you don't play fair
I've come to know your kind
Through innocence then blind
Believed in something that was never there...
Why can't you feel it? You had to know
How could you steal it?
Let me break you
Let me break you
You're telling me that I'm the most important thing to you
But can't you see you're killing me with all the things you do?
And I really want to believe it's impossible, I really want to believe it's all a dream
But I just can't seem to wake up, I just can't seem to turn on the light
One step off the edge and the world will seem all right
You did it again, yes you in the mirror
You put your faith in a cruel world
All my dead friends come to haunt, harm and hinder
Never letting go, here to drag me down to Hell, just say goodbye
Just answer me, what was the point of all that treachery?
And soon we'll see the truth behind all of your blasphemy
And you really want to believe it's impossible, you really want to believe it's all a dream
But you just can't seem to wake up, you just can't seem to turn on the light
One step off the edge and the world will seem all right
No never again I'll never trust no one again
I'd sooner slit my wrists and risk discovery of Hell
Than stay another moment here where certain Devils dwell
No never again I'll never trust no one again
No never again I'll never trust...
You did it again, yes you in the mirror
You put your faith in a cruel world
All my dead friends come to haunt, harm and hinder
Never letting go, here to drag me down to Hell, just say goodbye
Long after midnight, on a night like this
I'd sit by my black-light and dream of your kiss
Pulsating music filled my room and my head
And I dreamed what it'd be like to have you in my bed
I'm your best night, your best nightmare
I'm your best night, your best nightmare
And then it happened, you were in my arms
Your lips on my throat, your hands on my, on my...
Two bodies together the intimate sin
The pain and the pleasure could do mortals in
How could you know what I'm thinking of?
To me lust can be as beautiful as love
Here tonight, your pure heart and soul
Untainted passion should have no control
I'm your best night, your best nightmare
I'm your best night, your best nightmare
She asked me if I... I told her the truth
I said "I'm sorry it takes me longer than you"
She smiled and blushed and continued to grind
And promised to make me go out of my mind
Returning her promise she came to a halt
Licking my lips I tasted her salt
Then she sat up and gasped and clutched at her breast
I thought she was coming I'd never have guessed
That as she grew pale, as white as a flower
She collapsed to the floor and was dead in an hour.
Your best nightmare, your best
Your best nightmare, your best
Spirits seem to drift up through a darkened sky
Drifting through dead branches in the night
While in the moonlight we go down upon our knees
Entwined together only we can see their beauty
Beneath the stars a bell begins to toll
For reasons which we really shouldn't know
So take a walk with me down to the cemetery
Wrap me in darkness, Claire make love to me
I am thunder, I am rain, I am pleasure, I am pain
Only in darkness can there be light, tell me angel have you prayed tonight?
In the dark I know you all so well
Beauty from Heaven wrapped 'round souls from Hell
So take a drink from me, my sacrifice to thee
Damned fallen angels, always blessed with me
I am thunder, I am rain, I am pleasure, I am pain
Only in darkness can there be light, tell me angel have you prayed tonight?
Burning darkness, red ecstasy, pull me closer and make me bleed
Pale and dark and tortured blue,
Behind a veil you find serenity.
I guess that's something we share,
Violently fading into nothing to find peace,
Or escape it.
Curious, majestic black strands cover you entirely,
Yet I know you're there.
Always being tested,
An eternal game that must leave your soul in shreds,
As it does mine.
You have my sympathy.
But forget about everything just for tonight,
This moment in life,
This moment in time
Could be your first,
Or your last.
You abandoned hope long ago
You abandoned love
Or it abandoned you
But now is the time for beauty,
Violent beauty so pure it's scary,
The past is over,
This is something new,
Altogether alien, exotic, and welcome,
Erasing what came before,
With a blink of her amazing eyes...
Is this life this degradation, this pointless game, humiliation?
Born to die, we're born to lose and not one choice we make we choose
And when this life is at an end we find that Death's our only friend
Must we suffer through your games, oh Lord? Can God really be so bored?
We waste our lives destroying, hating, while beneath our flesh a skull lies waiting
Blind to beauty blind to love, we fear of our loving Lord above
Some live their lives to play their games, some live as victims, the insane
Your experiment oh Lord has failed and I trust that when we meet you will forgive us
It's futile so I'll end this note and find a knife and slit my throat
And come to track you down oh Lord you better watch your back
Be sure that when we meet you'll be surprised no loving praise, no glee filled cries
Just pain and hate and tear filled sighs and the question in the end is "Why?"
...and here we go again
We've taken it to the end
With every waking moment
We face this silent torment
I'd sacrifice, sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you
Darkness...
Is all I want to see
I could never put in to words
What it is you mean to me
I'd sacrifice, sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you
The candle's burning lower
At the window to my soul
The reaper's at my door now
He's come to take me home
I'd sacrifice, sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you
Through darkened streets and blackened gloom
The candles dim in your bedroom
Rain reflecting shadows in the night
The moon is full and through the mist
I hear your voice I feel your kiss
The line grows thin between what's wrong and right
Burning flesh pale as the stars
No one knows just who you are
Drive the knife in deeper to my soul
Velvet touch your mouth on mine
Drunk on lust like drunk on wine
The world will end we'll hear the thunder roll
Don't even say it
Don't even look away
Haunted by, haunted by
Black winged angel come to me release my soul from this misery
In the candle light you'll see
Just what all this means to me
The line grows thin between what's wrong and right
Don't even say it
Don't even look away
Haunted by, haunted by
Black winged angel come to me release my soul from this misery
Twilight... the leaves fall,
The ground... is oh so cold
Sing about God,
sing on his death
Sing about love
Sing about sex
Your great mystery's a lie
Hypocrisy's the rule
Sing on the death... of God
Of darkness and light
Of heaven and hell
Of sinful delights
Beneath our feet lie shattered wings
Our screams bring the awakening of God...
So say goodbye to torture and lies
And if there's a God pray He opens His eyes
His angels aren't the master race
We'll tell Him when we're face to face with God
Empty hearts I can hear them talking
I close my eyes and I keep on stalking my love, my love
No one's aware of the hunger I feel
It's something you or time cannot heal
I need someone to help me rise above
Eternal bliss is something I can show you
Spread your arms and let my wings enfold you, my love, my love
In the darkness shades of crimson rapture
The world is ours alone to capture my love, my love
Come over here and let me tell you something
Nothing ever comes of nothing
We pay a price for all our choices made
Come along now and take my hand
I'll lead you to a promised land
The morning after may never come again, will never be the same
