For those about to die here
Lighten up
And those into survival
Frighten us…
Damn this one horse rider…
Man traps for stricter diners
Trip me up
Laid back with sunday drivers
Touching us
Damn this one horse rider…
Under belly of our Godiva
Climbing up
Watch the Trojan climb inside her
Wish me luck!…
Damn this one horse rider…
Damn this one horse rider…
Step inside
Step inside her…
Wish me luck…
The English maid was cleaning
The halos I’d been stealing
The poor girl was uncertain
She hid behind the curtain
There’s something in the snakepit!
I waited up all evening
For a bird with wings of steel
While scraping innuendo
From the sniper in your window
There’s something in the snakepit!
The man behind the camera
Is climbing up the mountain
He may be your necessity
He captures possibility
There’s something in the snakepit!
Convalesce and contact - Come to me
Convuluted contract - Come to me
Conquest and firefight - Come to me
See how we kneel to the Mercy Machine.
See how we kneel,
How our conscience is cleared,
Come - make your deal,
With the Mercy Machine.
Concrete and conceal - Come to me
Unconditional conscience - Come to me
Conscript and conflict - Come to me
Hear how we scream at the Mercy Machine.
See how we kneel,
How our conscience is cleared,
Come - make your deal,
With the Mercy Machine.
Consume and confess - Come to me
Conclusive conduct - Come to me
Control and condemn - Come to me
See how we bleed with the Mercy Machine.
See how we kneel,
How our conscience is cleared,
Come - make your deal,
With the Mercy Machine.
Kneel, kneel, kneel
To the Mercy Machine.
I'll take you by the hand and make you one
And leave you by the river when I'm done
And walk across the water to the sun…
Two Gods…
Bet on Two Gods
I'm naked and I'm hungry in my room
I'm tearing arms from deities for fun
This hell is like a holiday, with guns…
Two Gods
Bet on two Gods
I'll bring a little magic to your room
And pass to the assassin who has none
He's taking out the tyrant, for his son
Two Gods
Bet on Two Gods
Two Gods
Are better than one…
Long distance information - calling me
And even reputations – question me
Bring me the ego id…
Bring me the ego id…
This saint is impatient – and wasted
And lost in translation – of his deeds
Bring me the ego id…
Bring me the ego id…
The divine translator – is persuading
Relying on frustration – and guarantees
Bring me the ego id…
Bring me the ego id…
Bring me the ego ideal…
Psycho Analysts, and Jailers
In-confidantes and traitors
and all the feminists, in halos
All entertain you
The Great Derailer
Alpha male manipulators
Denizens of our dictators
all the puppets and spectators
All entertain you
The Great Derailer
All our Gods and imitators
Inconsequential traders
and all the trained infiltrators
All entertain you
The Great Derailer
Sometimes I find
I re-assemble my mind
To accept the design
Of my kitchen tonight
Took a part time lover
Like Dante's brother
Heaven help us…
Sometimes i'm kind
To acquaintance of mine
It's getting hard to decide
If my kitchen is right
Took a part time lover
Like Dante's brother
Heaven help us…
Sometimes I'm blind
And my hands are so tied
To the walls that I climb
In my kitchen tonight
Took a part time lover
Like Dante's brother
Heaven help us…
Met your devil, on the D-train,
you know americans…
Lost a child to the raven,
getting well again?…
I fear,
I fear
Logic is the lover of men…
And fear
Fear is the mother of pain.
Or the Raven…
Beloved....
lay you down
and rest
in peace
Ignis spiritus
Ignis caritatis

will be the speculation that the exploration of darkness as a beautiful place will lessen our fear of it all, ease the pain a little..."

So happy I bought the vinyl, fantastic collection of Cevin's early music. Recommended if you're into Skinny Puppy or if you're a fan of early EBM, industrial or noisey beats! :) jeff
