INKUBUS SUKKUBUS LYRICS

1. Rune

Underneath a harvest moon
Come and hear a wytches rune
Air and water, earth and fire
Give to me my heart's desire
Give me love and astral flight
Give me darkness, give me light
Dance with fury, wild abandon
Circle spinning round and round
Fire burning, circle turning
ever faster round and round
Join your sisters and your brothers
spin the rune and touch the ground
Spin your wishes, spin your magick
spin with trance-like ecstasy
Spin desire, spiral higher
catch your breath and all fall down
North and south and east and west
Let the sacred place be blessed
In a circle, round and round
Lift me up and take me down
Fire bright and fire burn
Let my wheel of fortune turn
Show me who will love me madly
Show his face, I'll love him gladly
Queen of wytches, hear my call
Come to earth to save us all
Oh, great horned god of goats and men
Come to earth, return again
Let the thunder give you youth
Let the fire give me truth
Free my mind of senseless trivia
Ecstasy and joy deliver

2. Wounded

You, the walking wounded
You, the hopeless victim
You, who craved new feelings
Risked it all to get them
I thought you may be stronger
Thought your fight was greater
When I watched you falling
How I pitied what you were
I could have made you whole
instead you gave in
Now I'll leave you lying pale and wounded
Thought you may be worthy
I thought your soul was brighter
Hoped we'd share forever
Dreamt of flying with you
I saw you had some spirit
Saw the spark of fire
Tasted only water
Left you drowning on the floor
Barely walking wounded
Barely walking wounded
Wounds of apathy and
Wounds that should have healed
I have loved you briefly
I have given freely
You denied me your trust
I shed no tears for you

3. Kiss Of Hades

The night is cold and filled with pain
And a cruel wind drives home the blissful rain
But underneath this neon light
A dream away is paradise

Come and take the kiss of Hades
All you gents and all you ladies
Before you stands your liberator
The loving god, annihilator

The lost souls line the concrete wall
Their blank eyes of death, they tell it all
Of shattered dreams and ruined lives
A dream away is paradise

Come and take the kiss of Hades
All you gents and all you ladies
Before you stands your liberator
The loving god, annihilator

In despair, he's all around
And the dark claws of hell drag you down
And death has wings and time it flies
A dream away is paradise

Come and take the kiss of Hades
All you gents and all you ladies
Before you stands your liberator
The loving god, annihilator

Come and take the kiss of Hades
He will save you, sorrow’s babies
Your final saviour stands before you
He will love you, he’ll adore you

Come and take the kiss of Hades
All you gents and all you ladies
Before you stands your liberator
The loving god, annihilator

Come and take the kiss of Hades
All you gents and all you ladies
Before you stands your liberator
The loving god, annihilator

Come and take the kiss of Hades
All you gents and all you ladies
Before you stands your liberator
The loving god, annihilator

Come and take the kiss of Hades
All you gents and all you ladies
Before you stands your liberator
The loving god, annihilator

4. Struwwelpeter

Close your heavy eyes, my precious one
Close them oh so tight, my darling one
The demons on the wall dance for you now
Their fingers stretch and claw to reach you
Run from demons, nightmare creatures
Laughing men of longest limb
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness
Pray that they won't take you in
In the night's cold air you hear a call
Has he said his prayers and blessed the poor?
A thousand voices whisper to you so .
You hide your head beneath the pillow
Be a good boy now, don't suck your thumb
Will it be there still when morning comes?
I'd like to tell you life is carefree but
Those who're naughty should be wary and...

5. Bright Star

Brightest of souls shining through
Dearest of boys, I love you
Wrapped in my arms I would stay here with you
You are my lifeline
You make the stars shine
All of my life I have waited for you
You are the brightest star
I love all that you are
You are the brightest star
My beautiful child
Beautiful boy, I can see
How you have brought joy to me
The smallest thing you do captures my heart
How I could watch all the day
Watch how you think as you play
You have a mind that has opened my own
You are my bloodline
You make the stars in heaven shine
All of my life I have waited for you

6. Lord Of The Flame

He is coming through dust, sea and sand
And he is coming from the Ancient Lands
Angel of Light, and Lord of the Sacred Flame
A liberator to free you from your shame

Ride out and set the slaves all free
Fill our souls with your love and with your ecstasy

He is Osiris, and he is also Pan
And he is god, but he is also man
He has come from Heaven and of Earth
A god of lust, of music and of mirth

Ride out and set the slaves all free
Fill our souls with your love and with your ecstasy
Break the chains of the last two thousand years
save us from pain, save us from fear

Oh great Horned God, we have not forgotten you
Oh great Horned God, we have not forsaken you
Oh great Horned God, we have not denied you
Oh great Horned God, we have not defied you

7. Aradia

Spinning your magick above the earth

Bore ye Aradia, daughter of incest
Wytch child of Lucifer, teacher divine

8. Storm

Dark'ning sky, the senses tremble
Song of Thor's resounding rumble
Nature holds her breath in waiting
Calmly all anticipating
Flee in haste or wait her coming
Taste the sweetness of her fruit
Salient fingers start their drumming
Thrill now heaven's power's made loose
Wash me, soothe me, come cleanse my mind of mundane things
Awaken the senses, electrify my nerves and skin
Deepening, speeding rivers racing
Groaning roots to ground are bracing
Her magick is the power of change
She leaves no single thing the same
Wing and rain and lightning change me
Work your spell to rearrange
Swell the rivers, drain my ego
Bend the trees and strengthen will
Wash me, soothe me, come cleanse my mind of mundane things
Awaken the senses, electrify my nerves and skin

9. Smile Of Torment

Smile of torment
Eyes of anger
Lips of passion
Blood hunger
A dark angel
Lust for danger
Come take my hand and I’ll lead you to madness
Claws of thunder
To drag you under
A heart that’s burning
An evil yearning
The dark fever
Will bring you nearer
Come take my hand and I’ll lead you to madness
Fly with me into eternal night
I’ll take you up on my wings of astral light
Lust maker
Heart breaker
Soul taker
Love faker
Thirst slaker
Accumulator
Come take my hand and I’ll lead you to madness
Fly with me into eternal night
I’ll take you up on my wings of astral light
And I’ll will love you for a thousand years
I’ll take you up then drown you in your tears

10. Reptile

Hold my heart in your cold clenched fist and squeeze until you bleed me dry

Take what you will of my life force and leave the pain behind
You would take it all from me and only leave my suffering
Why not take my hope, you demon, you are welcome to that now
You, my idol
You, my teacher
You, my laughter
You, my crying
You, my daybreak
You, my sunset
You, my living
You, my dying
Twist the threads much tighter and to you my last breath will belong
You will know my broken form will honour you forevermore
I would give my life to you, my dreams, my talents are forgotten
What a trophy to inscribe beside the ones who've gone before
Lace your kiss with cyanide and plant it when I contradict you
Razor-sharp are fingernails that trace a line to yielding pulse
Shower me with useless gifts, I'll drown in insincerity
Lover, take your love away and use it on yourself

11. Nymphomania

Eyes of Love and Eyes of Fire
Hearts of Lust and Desire
Dancing, jumping, laughing, raving
Driven by a sexual craving
Here they come with love and flowers
With their songs and their dark powers
Bodies naked, hot and writhing
Belladonna wine imbibing
Here they come datura dreaming
Out their minds in madness screaming
Wild spirits from the dreamworld
Nature spirits from the dreamworld
With the Nymphs you are free
In the fire of ecstasy
In a dream of sexual love
In Hell below and Heaven above
Boy meets nymph the sacred story
Told again for all it's glory
She's so wild, he can't tame her
Sex and drugs, who can blame her
He's the fingers, she's the matches
She's the fire, he'll be the ashes
He is hers for the taking
Love is hers for the faking
Forget the future come and kiss
On the Poison Lips of Bliss
Let them sing you to your death
Let them sing you to your death

12. Lammas Song

Sun-kissed and god-blessed and caressed by glorious honeyed fire
Undressed and cherished I care less what others think of me .
You brought the sun to my life
Your beauty blinded me
You brought the sun to my life
My golden sonnet, Adonis, I love you more each day
Your secret promise, I daren't miss what you have to say
You brought the sun to my life
You brought the sun to my life
You are my Lammas song
You are my Lammas song
You brought the sun to my life
And chased away the grey
You brought the sun to my life
You are my Lammas song
You are my Lammas song
You are my Lammas song
My heart's desire, your fire has scorched the greenest leaf
My joy soars higher that's why I will always need you here
You brought the sun to my life
You brought the sun to my life
You are my Lammas song
You are my Lammas song
You are my Lammas song
You are my Lammas song
You are my Lammas song
You are my Lammas song

13. Wild

Child of darkness
Child of lightness
Child so bright that you dazzle weary cynical men
Child of brilliance, wisdom, wildness
We would thrill as our souls ignite when you are near us
Wild! Wild! Passion plays a part in all you do
Wild! Wild! Heart and soul as nothing else will do
Live for magick
Live for greatness
Live for power to shape and change the never-changing
Make a difference, bring some fire
Light the world and our hearts and minds with inspiration
Live for glory
Strength and fury
Play your part in the greater scheme of life and nature
Show your brilliance
Show your tolerance
Show the beauty in doing what you will with your life

14. Delilah

[originally by Tom Jones]

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah

I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah

So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah

So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore
