"Anything
Will be alright
If you come out
In the night"
With your life sewn open
Breath in
Put the bone back in
Buried under the skin
Murder in reverse
Out of time
Out of place
Out of spite
Swallow the spike
The only thing to fear
Is fear itself...

Was all in vain, or did you cry?
No need to ask; my tears have run dry
This is the end of my pity
I wait to die
You now the living, me now the dead
You now the living, me now the dead
To prove that you loved me
Mere words could not have said
Biting into skin, into flesh, into me
Taking all you could
Oh, I'd still give you blood
Just to paint your lips
If you should wish them red
My desires your kiss completed
But only now I can see
The vicious joy when you took delight
Behind each kiss your poison bite
And when my all was given
And you had taken
O doglike Judas, you did disappear
Was all in vain, or did you cry?
No need to ask
You now the living, me now the dead
You now the living, me now the dead

The Spoiler
follows you
In Spoiler's time
from place to place
Old man's eyes
In a young boy's face
Walking in
Another's skin
Secrets inside
The Spoiler
The Spoiler's catch
Boys who exist
In the stories of shadows
On our walls
Who take to the floor
Like a falling wall
To dance
with oblivion
Black Boxes
Black light
He works
At night
The Spoiler
If you're going to have any
The Spoiler
You've got to have enough
His Head
Resting
His feet
Continents
His heart
...Apart

Each time I wake up
Each time I say
The shifting slow beginning
Another restless day
Down damned indecision
Push me on my way
The shifting slow beginning
Another restless day
Supermarket Sunday
Faces cold and grey
No bread or milk or tea left
No energy to play
Fear is the jailer
That locks my love away
The boy on the checkout
Says "Have a restless day"
Who has the nerve
To dream, create, and kill?
While it seems the whole moves
Every part stands still
So there's nothing, yes, there's nothing
Everything makes me ill
While it seems the whole moves
Every part stands still
Every part stands still
Watching television in the afternoon
Wasting my life away
All they want to show me is
What's under the clock today
But even rats in a cage
Are liable to stray...

See the Black Sun rise
In the Solar Lodge
See the Black Sun rise
From the Solar Lodge
Stop
Like a clock
Like a hole in the ground
Like a lock
Like a knife in the sound
From the Solar Lodge
See the Black Sun rise
From the Solar Lodge

Godhead turns death-head!
Godhead turns death-head!
Godhead turns death-head!
Godhead turns death-head!
Three in one, one in three
The crutch of Christianity
This is not Paradise Lost but Paradise disowned
Virgin Mary, weak and wild,
Rids herself of an unwanted child
Price of love, pain to pay
For a quick visitation in the hay
A reign of love that stank of death
Nowhere New Jerusalem
No Festival of Light
A moral mean majority
Who'd kill a queer for Christ
Kill a queer for Christ
Kill a queer for Christ
A moral mean majority
Who'd kill a queer for Christ

Circle within Circle
And when that hour came
From words they passed to deeds
Spires, Spirals, and Stones rise
'And in the distance
A cathedral in flames'
Given a chance to recover his breath
And exposed
To the process once more
The youth squirmed
In a shower of gold
That etched on his skin the words:
'Paradise stands
In the shadow of Swords'

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away
I've got to
Get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
And the love we share
Seems to go nowhere
I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
(Ooh) Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away
I've got to
Get away
You don't really want anymore from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
(Ooh) Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
But now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
(Ooh) Tainted love
(Ooh) Tainted love
(Ooh) Tainted love
