Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was a child they made me to read Word-daggers of quiver and squirm; Now in the stumbling dark I see I am a worm, silently fruiting your garden My sister, my child Night casts ominous meanings on the purity of my soul I feel devilish leanings I'm beginning to lose control And the vortex sucks me in Steeped in sin I die But am reborn [Verse 2] (Ooh!) I want to see the cosmos slip Planets and moons collide Feel gravity lose its grip... It's all inside All the dead husks are shattered My life-blood, my world ripped apart In the laughter of space It's all chaff blown out and lost Now I am making the pace Although I don't know what tape I'll cross And it's maybe catastrophe When I cross the line I know that I will find myself Or maybe you [Interlude] I am a man from the country of destruction I am a man, a woman and a god I am my own weapon of kamikaze And will one day cut through the hidden knot [Verse 3] Feed me honey and watch me rise To the bait lying on the knife; If you let me I can hypnotise your life It's all really so simple My lover, my twin Hand in hand, sprinting down the highway Running over the edge Down and down into our doomsday; There is no saving ledge Nor outgrown shrub Is this the way? Out in a blaze of glory? Some day I'll find the answer Some day I'll end the story!
