BENIGHTED IN SODOM LYRICS

1. Goodnight Moon

2. Deliver Me

I am finally here in paradise
Where everything is beautiful and bright
I have left the sickness of the world behind
And I have found serenity in this secret heaven

For to promise me this tomorrow
I would kill you today

Every moment in life has led me to this
All that I am means nothing now that I am free
For my cage is made of alabaster and gold
And my reward is lifeless silence
In exchange for a lifetime of affliction
At rest in the heights of the world
And the world is below

At rest in the heights that overlook the world,
and the world is below

I say a quiet prayer of gratitude
And like the truly saved, my vacant words fall into the sky
And their echo reminds me that I am truly alone

3. Nowhere With Us

Take my heart
Hold it in your hands
This could be the start of something beautiful
Lie to me
I'll believe everything
Just to believe this is real

Gaze inside
See that I lack a soul
But there is room here for you
Staring back, my abyss becomes your resting place
But at least we are together

Fall into my desperate pain
And I will build you an altar
Built upon the ashes of everything that matters

Lie to me
I'll believe everything
Just to believe this is real

Fall into my desperate pain
And I will build you an altar
Built upon the ashes of everything that matters

Be with me
Be with me
Be with me
Be with me, here, forever

4. Love Can Die

All that we are, you and I, we have no future, no destiny. I see you and I know I love you, yet you are infinitely dead to me all the same. This garden we've made here is so lush and lovely, but I know when our season will change, winter comes, and our embrace will freeze these blossoms. All that we are, you and I, we have no future, no destiny. I see you and I know I love you, yet you are infinitely dead to me all the same. Hold my hand, and smile. Please don't feel alone, because though we are estranged, I still grip yours all the same. Hold my hand, and smile.
Please take everything I have ever given to you and burn it in front of my face, please take back everything you ever promised me and tell me it was all a lie, please unforgive me for all of my weakness, because I want to be guilty, close the door and lock me outside, let me go and smile, but please don't feel alone, because though I am dead to you, I still hold onto you just the same.

5. Strawberry Gashes

[originally by Jack Off Jill]

Turn her over
A candle is lit, I see through her
Blow it out and save all her ashes for me

Curse me sold her
The poison that runs it's course through her
Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over

Watch me fault her
You're living like a disaster
She said kill me faster
with strawberry gashes all over

Called her over
and asked her if she was improving
She said "feels fine" it's wonderful wonderful here

Hex me told her
I dreamt of a devil that knew her
Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over

Watch me fault her
You're living like a disaster
She said kill me faster
with strawberry gashes all over

I lay quiet
waiting for her voice to say
"Some things you lose and some things you just give away"

Scold me failed her
If only I'd held on tighter to her
Pale white skin that twisted and withered away from me away from me

Watch me lose her
It's almost like losing myself
Give her my soul
and let them take somebody else get away from me

Watch me fault her
You're living like a disaster
She said kill me faster
with strawberry gashes all over all over me

6. Catholic School

[Instrumental]

7. Lolita

If you can give me your flesh, I will let you possess the world
Where they will take you, no cruelty knows your name
The lens will be your window to the world
But the screen is the cradle of hope

Everything you could not have in a former life belongs to you a thousandfold, command misery from the seat of divinity encased forever in plastic, the covenant with your creator

If you can give me your flesh, I will let you fuck the world
Just remember what you were and what you could have been

Bubblegum smile, looking upward toward the light of atonement
On your knees, on your knees...

Let them fall into you
One by one
Let them fall into you
One by one

As lovely as a rainbow, as passive as a black hole
Beneath your tears I can smell your fear, and I know...

I tap the vein and bring you in
Everything will be different now
You belong to a better world, a better world

8. Neon Stars

[Instrumental]

9. Nostalgia...

A house on this street withers
A child's room is filled with dreamless sleep
There is a mirror there
It leads to the other side
Lead me there, I will follow you
Just don't let them see that I've gone
Just don't let them find me
A child's room is empty, but not forgotten
Just don't let them see that I've gone
Just don't let them find me
Please don't let them find me

It hurts, it hurts no more...
It hurts, it hurts no more...
