THE REINCARNATION OF BENJAMIN BREEG

(Murray/Harris)

 

Let me tell you about my life

Let me tell you about my dreams

Let me tell you about the things that happen

Always real to me

 

Let me tell you of my hope

Of my need to reach the sky

Let me take you on an awkward journey

Let me tell you why

Let me tell you why

 

Why should these curses be laid upon me

I won't be forgiven 'till I can break free

What did I do to deserve all this guilt

Pay for my sins with the sale of my soul

Demons are trapped all inside of my head

My hopes are gone reach for heaven from hell

 

My sins are many my guilt is too heavy

The pressure of knowing of hiding what I know

I'm able to see things

Things I don't want to see

The lives of a thousand souls

Weigh heavy down on me

 

I know they're crying for help reaching out

The burden of them will take me down as well

The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain

Reincarnate still in me live again

 

Someone to save me

Something to save me from myself

To bring salvation

To exorcise this hell

 

Someone to save me

Something to save me from myself

To bring salvation

To exorcise this hell

 

Someone to save me

Something to save me from myself

A destination

Away from this nightmare

 

Someone to save me

Something to save me from myself

To bring salvation

To exorcise this hell

HALLOWED BE THY NAME

(Harris)

 

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime

Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time

Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole

The sands of time for me are running low

 

When the priest comes to read me the last rites

I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
 
Can it be there's been some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
 
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak

Tears they flow but why am I crying

After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end
 
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me die?
 
As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away
 
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth
 
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
