I was born into a scene of angriness and greed of dominance and persecution |
|
My mother was a queen my dad I've never seen I was never meant to be |
|
Now I spend my time looking all around, for a man that's nowhere to be found |
|
Until I find him I've never gonna stop searching |
| I'm going to find my man, gonna travel round |
| Cos I'm a wrathchild |
| Yeah I'm a wrathchild |
| Well I'm a wrathchild |
| I'm coming to get you |
| Ooh yeah yeah |
| Some say it shouldn't matter ain't nothing gonna alter the course of my destination |
| But I know I've gotta find some serious piece of mind or I know I'll just go crazy |
|
Now I spend my time looking all around, for a man that's nowhere to be found |

I remember it as plain as day, although it happened in the dark of night |
|
I was strolling through the streets of Paris, it was cold it was starting to rain |
|
And then I heard a piercing scream, and I rushed to the scene of the crime |
|
But all I found was the butchered remains, of two girls laying side by side |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - someone call the gendarmes |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - vite before the killers go free |
| There's some people coming down the street, at last someone's heard my call |
| I can't understand why they're pointing at me, I never done nothing at all |
| Well I must have got some blood on my hands, because everybody's shouting at me |
| I can't speak French so I couldn't explain, and like a fool started running away |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - running from the gendarmes |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - am I ever going to be free |
|
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law, all of France is looking for me |
| I've gotta find a way across the border for sure, down the South of Italy |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - someone call the gendarmes |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - I'm never going home |
| Well I made it to the border at last, but I can't erase the scene from my mind |
| Any time somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind |
| Well I'm running through the shadows tonight, away from the staring eyes |
| Any day they'll be looking for me, 'cos I know I show the signs of... |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - running from the gendarmes |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - running from the arms of the law |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - running from the gendarmes |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - am I ever gonna be free |
| It took so long and I'm getting so tired, I'm running out of places to hide |
| Should I return to the scene of the crime, where the two young victims died |
| If I could go to somebody for help, it would get me out of trouble for sure |
| But I know that's it's on my mind, that my doctor said I've done it before |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - they're never gonna find me |
| Murders in the Rue Morgue - I'm never going home |

As I lay here lying on my bed |
|
Sweet voices come into my head |
|
What it is I wanna know |
|
Please won't you tell me it's got to go |
| There's a feeling that's inside me |
| Telling me to get away |
| But I'm so tired of living |
| I might as well end today |

|
My life is so empty, nothing to live for |
|
My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law |
|
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran |
|
I never had no trouble, before this all began |
| My life is so empty, nothing to live for |
| My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law |
| When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran |
| I never had no trouble, before this all began |
| I'm running away, nowhere to go |
| I'm lost and tired, and I just don't know |
| They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true |
|
They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you |
| Lord I'm running |
|

|
You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back |
|
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack |
|
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed |
|
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs |
| My innocent victims, are slaughtered with wrath and despise |
| The mocking religion of hatred, that burns in the night |
| I have no-one, am bound to destroy all this greed |
| A voice inside me, compelling to satisfy me |
| I can see, what a life's meant to be |
| You'll never know, how I came to foresee |
| My faith in believing is stronger, than lifelines and ties |
|
The glimmer of metal, my moment is ready to strike |
| The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night |
| Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light |
| I have found you, and now there is no place to run |
| Excitement shakes me, Oh God help me what have I done |
| Yeah I've done it again! |
| He walks through the subway, his eyes burn a hole through your back |
| A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack |
| Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed |
| Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs |
| Look out I'm coming for you! |

|
Listen to me lamia, listen to what I've got to say |
|
I've got these feelings and they won't go away |
|
I've got these fears inside that'll bring me to my knees |
|
Oh help me lamia, or I'm sure I'll die oh please |
| I feel unsettled now I know that I've dong wrong |
| I've messed around with ,mystic things and magic for far too long |
| I feel I'm being paid with this nightmare inside me |
| The devil's got a hold on my soul, and he just won't let it be |
| I'm on my knees |
| Oh help me please |
| I'm on my knees |
| Help me please |
| Oh lamia please try to help me |
|
The devil's got a hold of my soul, and he won't let me be |
| Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning so bad |
| The devil's got hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad |
|
(Harris) |
|
Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen |
|
Fantasies lived times before, I split my brain melt through the floor |
|
Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why |
|
My body tries to leave my soul, is it me? I just don't know |
| Memories rising from the past, the future shadows overcast |
| Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led |
| Oh another time another place, oh well another smile on another face |
| When you see me floating up beside you, you get the feeling that all my love's inside of you |
| Please take me away |
| Take me away |
| So far away |
|
(Harris) |
|
Look out now baby won't you take me away |
|
Sitting here I think it's gonna be a new day |
|
Gonna sing my song, 'til I can't go on |
|
Gonna keep on roaming, gonna sing my song |
| What you feeling when you hold me tight, gonna cuddle up to you tonight |
| Gonna get you feeling so secure, listen child don't you see there's a cure |
| Anywhere got to get you away, feels so good think it's gonna be a new day |
| Gonna get my song, 'til I can't go on |
| Gonna keep on roaming, gotta sing my song |
| What you feeling when you hold me tight, I wanna cuddle up to you tonight |
| Gonna get you feeling so secure, listen child don't you see there's a cure |
| Anywhere got to get you away, feels so good think it's gonna be a new day |
