LYRICS



TOUCHED

Reach out and Touch me in the name of the Lord
Salvation will cost whatever you can afford
Bring me your illness; bring me your sin
Just pay the piper and we can begin

Self appointed but that's OK
I speak to the Lord each and every day
I will touch you with my healing hands
A one way ticket to the promised land

Hallelujah; sing his praise
I'll make my million one of these days
For Faith and Devotion the Masses will pay
It reaches a stage they'll do whatever you say.
I'll heal your body; I'll save your soul
I'll be your shepherd when you've nowhere to go



TELEVISION

In my white room with no view
The TV screen controls me and you.
Raping your mind; body and soul.
The whole damn thing is out of control

900 channels; only one routine
Wiping our minds until they're clean
Over and over (and over) again
The loop repeats; it never ends

Turn onto nightly visions of hate
Death and destruction makes any show look great
Feeding us all everything we desire
You make our decisions; no thoughts required
This is the gospel; our newest religion
It's called TELEVISION

A circus of fools; we sit and stare
No time to think or even to care
Truth has no meaning; no meaning at all
The network is cleaning so God help us all
Day after day; night after night
The masses believe in the power of sight
Conversion completed; illusions so real
No escape from this man made ordeal



SHADOWS

I sit and watch as the World drifts slowly bye
They say there is safety in numbers; but I feel so alone
Cast out; drifting in the shadows

I; I wish I could swim in the sea that I'm drifting in
Alone; afraid that I'm losing touch
Cast out; drifting in the shadows

I; I'll be Ok - cos they say time heals everything
I know you'll catch me when I fall
Cast out; drifting in the shadows

A time will come when I need you most; to save me from myself
To come and find me when I'm lost
Drifting in the shadows

You; you don't know what it's like
To view; to view things through my eyes

A time will come when reality bites and you'll see things through my eyes



ICH HABE

Instrumental



HIGH HEELS

Empty World; nothing to say
It's a dirty dark place where no angels play
So come with me if you wanna go down
and get a little dirty

Cover me in your lust girl
I'll cover you in mine
Although it's not true love in this empty World of ours
We'll be doing fine

So take your black dress off; keep your high heels on
I'm going deep; I'm going down
Keep your high heels on
I'm going deep; I'm going down

In the cold light of day where the shadows fade away
and the troubles of this World simply melt away
I'll still be there for you; but will you be there for me
To set me free
Tonight



DOWN ON YOUR KNEES

In a room full of people I can feel so alone
the emptiness grips me and I'm chilled to the bone
Deep down inside me grows the pain in my heart
As dark as the night sky it tears my World apart

The simplest of equations can be the hardest to calculate
No words of persuasion can move this mountain of hate
Lost in the wilderness; isolation becomes my friend
But who needs enemies when you have friends
who put you down on your knees

Tears are flowing; deep down inside
Although they're not showing; part of me died
The snow keeps on falling; can't hide the lies that were said
now I'm left here cold ishing that I was dead

The simplest of equations can be the hardest to calculate
No words of persuasion can move this mountain of hate
Lost in the wilderness; isolation becomes my friend
But who needs enemies when you have friends
who put you down on your knees



NO CONTEST

I ain't sweetness and light
I ain't sugary smiles
You should get your facts right
You should run a mile

In the role of the sinner
I'm just a beginner
If it's a contest there's only one winner
Playing the part; I'm enjoying the role
Taking it all - your body and soul

You can wish all you want
You can hope for a lot
I ain't giving you ground
You lost - it was me that you found

In the role of the sinner
I'm just a beginner
If it's a contest there's only one winner
Playing the part; I'm enjoying the role
Taking it all - your body and soul

I'm here to drive you insane
be clear - I only bring pain
My aim is total control
My game and the winner takes all

In the role of the sinner
I'm just a beginner
If it's a contest there's only one winner
Playing the part; I'm enjoying the role
Taking it all - your body and soul



WHAT WE'VE BECOME

Say it like you mean it; like you said it before
The song on the radio said
You know how sometimes you think a song is about you
Like the words came right out of your head

When you feel like pain is all around
and that nothing can be done
and sympathy is your enemy and apathy your gun

In the book about my life I play out many parts
The Lover, the Joker; sometimes the King of Hearts.
Always alone whenever we're apart
Tortured and broken; always outspoken
Crucified by Love

When you feel like pain is all around......

It's hard to take cos you stole my heart
Like a thief in the night
All I have is a photograph - an image without a soul
Lifeless; no meaning. What are you achieving
You're tearing me apart!!

When you feel like pain is all around......



DEVIANCE

I've been looking; you couldn't see
Your bullets hit the mark; the heart of me.
Now I wonder what's on your mind
Picture of innocence but me I know your kind
A fleeting impulse; what do I say
Words ain't easy; I'll find a way
Yeah, I want you; never been so sure
My heart is pumping and my head has thoughts impure

Deviance - It's on my mind
Deviance - You know what kind
Deviance - I'll show you how
Deviance - I want it now
Deviance - I'll make it clear
Deviance - I have it here
Deviance - Feel the greed
Deviance - On you I'll feed

Cherry red lips; long raven hair
As for those hips; nothing can compare
Yes I'm falling; just can't disguise
Guess I'm spellbound when I see those deep dark eyes
Heaven help me; think I'm on my way to Hell
The darkest part of me that I know way too well
WhenI get like this there's no way to resist.
No nothing shocks; you tick the box; you're on the list

Deviance...............

Stir my senses; sight, smell and taste
No defence; no time to waste
Flesh bone meet as we entwine
Two as one now we can leave this World behind
We know no fear as we embrace desire
Having you here it just sets my heart on fire
Sharing with you all our want and all our needs
See them through and yes you just where it leads

Deviance.............
 

INNER INNOCENCE (Original Innocence)

I see it in You; I feel it when you move
I sense it when I'm with you and the feeling's good
An aura surrounds you; I'm drawn by the light
It's like a halo around you and it feels just right

WRONG - feelings that come on
STRONG - Get the feeling that you don't
BELONG - then you know that I'll be having
FUN - Inner Innocence


Drawn towards you like a moth to a flame
It's like a siren's call but I know your game
The pressure builds; I'm ready to go
My body says yes but my head says "No!"

WRONG...................

Drawn towards you like a moth to a flame
It's like a siren's call but I know your game
The pressure builds and I'm ready to blow
My body says yes and my head says "Let's Go!"

WRONG................

 THE THIN LINE
(Between Love & Hate)

Lyrics




TWISTED TORTURED FAITH
(written by - John Brown)


You ask me to surrender
You ask me to let go
but if I were to go under
I never would survive
and you would never know

You fall into the silence

fall into the abyss
You fall into denial
But if I am to survive
I can't agree to this

You say you want to take me
this is the only way
You say you won't forsake me
But how am I to know
if you are here to stay?



TODAY
(written by - John Brown)


Today was a good day
but now I'm feeling down
Cos what lies before me
is something big, something so profound
As soon as I close my eyes
the terror comes; I can't put up a fight
I pray you'll never have to see
the things I'll see tonight

So come with me my friend
and pray we make it to the end
and if the end should come tonight
who will be my guiding light?

And so the light begins to fade
night time comes; you feel betrayed
The fever comes; you start to itch
you try to sleep but the covers stick.
The sweat it drips from your brow
you want to sleep but you don't know how
The nightmare comes; you have to scream

So come with me.................


 

(written by - John Brown)



Lie to me but make it good
Lie to me like you know you should
Lie to me though you know it's wrong
Then lie with me till the morning comes
Lie to me, Lie to me, Lie to me, Lie to me
Then Lie with me till the morning comes

Open your eyes, open them wide
Open yourself and let me inside
Open your heart, give me the key
Then open yourself, Open wide for me
Lie to me, Lie to me, Lie to me, Lie to me
Then open yourself, Open wide for me




AVARICE
(written by - John Brown)


You are as deadly as the 7 sins
A situation where no-one wins
You got me shackled by your devious ways
I feed on your greed when you come out to play

Avarice, I'm feeding today
I want you to know it's the only way
I want your soul, I'm greedy tonight
I know it's wrong but it feels just right

I try to give but I only take
To feed my greed and seal my fate
If your in my way I'll push you aside
My avarice will keep me alive



THE MIRACLE
(written by - John Brown)



I remember the time they told me
The fight of evil over good
To pray for God to help us

I never thought he ever could

I remember the time they told me
Salvation is always there
To follow the path before me
But when I looked it wasn't there

And now the time has come
Can you change my point of view
This is the ideal opportunity
I need a miracle or two

I remember the time they told
That only fools rush in
Consider all that's holy
Cos anything else would be a sin

And now...........




LOVE / HATE
(written by - John Brown)


You chose you path so don't blame me
You chose your path; it's your destiny

You say wrong; I say right
I say black but you say white
I say yes but you say no
There's nowhere left for us to go

So look at you now
What have you become
So look at you now
And think of all the things you've done
So look at you now
All the love has turned to hate
So look at you now
Look at you now

Throw off the shackles; Throw off the ties
I watched you change right before my eyes
What is real (what is real); what is pretend
There's nothing left (nothing left); for you to defend

So look at you now.........



WHAT YOU GET
(music written by - Derek MacDonald)
(Lyrics by - John Brown)


If You are my church then where do I pray?
If You are the altar then where do I lay?
If You are my fortune then when do you pay?
If You are my best friend then when do we play?

If You are my war then what have I won?
If You are my song then the song has been sung
If you are the night then show me the day
and If you are my light then show me the way

What you get
You deserve
What you get
is on my nerves
What you get
Drives me insane
What you get
Again and again




HOW DOES IT FEEL?
(written by - John Brown)


You tempt me and taunt me then push me around
Won't let me speak when your friends area around
This way and that way; you violate me
No half the person I wanted to be
You bite and you scratch; kick me when I'm down
Never your joker; always your clown
You sting like a bee then the pain goes away
But there's always a reason for wanting to stay

You bring me down till I'm feeling so low
Reaching the point where there's nowhere to go
You never stop till I'm down on my knees
Getting your kicks as I'm begging you please
You laugh in my face tell me that I'm wrong
So why does it feel that I still belong
You make me feel sick; You fill me with pain

Then you pick me up and you kick me again

How does it feel when you lie to me
How does it feel when you lie



WHEN YOU CALLED MY NAME
(written by - John Brown)


When you called my name and I wasn't there
did you think that i didn't care?
When You called my name

I didn't hear you; I couldn't see
When You were calling out for me
But I could feel your pain

On the day that you went away
I didn't have the chance to say the things I never said
The things I never said

I know you knew but it's not the same
and I'll never have the chance again
To say I love You

I keep my feelings locked deep inside
But on that fateful day I cried when you went away
I never told you when I had the choice
I then I never heard your voice
When you called my name
