LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT LYRICS

1. Psycho Magnet

Such a wretched waste of time
such a fool to be so blind
serpents hide behind your eyes
and I'm their prey tonight

Can we end this mind fuck please, your treachery's beyond belief
must you bring us to our knees with your psychopathic tendencies?
Please be gone and rest assured I see you as you are, perverse
with all your lies and empty words- I fear for you there is no cure.

Here we go another game
designed to butcher someone's brain
is that emotion I see feigned?
all reason's lost on the insane

Can we end this mind fuck please, your treachery's beyond belief
must you bring us to our knees with your psychopathic tendencies?
Please be gone and rest assured I see you as you are, perverse
with all your lies and empty words- I fear for you there is no cure.

Sincerity has not been found
beneath your self appointed crown
these bitter tears in which I drown
will soon be yours to drag you down

Can we end this mind fuck please, your treachery's beyond belief
must you bring us to our knees with your psychopathic tendencies?
Please be gone and rest assured I see you as you are, perverse
with all your lies and empty words- I fear for you there is no cure.

2. Shatter (All My Dead Friends)

You're telling me
that I'm the most important thing to you,
but can't you see?
you're killing me with all the things you do,
and I really want to believe it's impossible
I really want to believe it's all a dream,
but I just can't seem to wake up,
I just can't seem to turn on the light,
one step off the edge
and the world will seem all right

You did it again,
yes you in the mirror,
you put your faith in a cruel world,
All my dead friends come to haunt, harm and hinder, never letting go,
here to drag me down to Hell,
just say goodbye...

Just answer me,
what was the point of all that treachery,
and soon we'll see
the truth behind all of your blasphemy,

No never again
I'll never trust no one again,
I'd sooner slit my wrists and risk discovery of Hell,
than stay another moment here where certain Devils dwell...

3. Hate!

Oh the witching time,
like a blackened pearl.
Oh how useless seem
the offers of this world.
A shroud is wrapped and bound,
to Gallows led away
though innocence is mine.
The dog will have his day.

All the Love turned to Hate,
the blade is in too deep and your repentance comes too late.

Oh wits misery,
the madness of your stay.
The best revenge,
a price which you must pay.

The children hide behind,
behind their little masks.
They are, at their games,
the only ones who laugh.

All the Love turned to Hate,
the blade is in too deep and your repentance comes too late.

So did I deserve,
your lies and treachery.
The curtain closes now.
The bell, it tolls for thee.

All your lies, all your shame.
And it drives you even madder that you've got yourself to blame.

4. Where Good Girls Go To Die

Step into this picture
release all your light
I think God has gone mad... here tonight

You can't believe your eyes,
control is so hard to keep
obsession can be hell
from which you'll never be free
It's all for the taking, here tonight

Where good girls go to die
that's where I'll be
Waiting for my love with my heart on my sleeve

Forget about the future
forget about the past.
My heart beats so,
my hands are cold
please God make this moment last

You seek to fill me
with virtues I lack
I'll turn your pure white wings to pure black.

You've pushed too far and now
you've lost control can't you see?
You thought you were the master
but you're down on your knees.
It's all for the taking, here tonight

Where good girls go to die
that's where I'll be,
remembering our love as if it were a disease.

Forget about the future
it wasn't meant to last
My heart beats slow my hands are cold
Oh God it's the end at last.

5. The Bondage Song

Innocent child,
how you thought you knew me,
understood my ways,
my dark needs,
the hunt is not the thrill I'm after,
I want the kill, the conquest,
to be your master,
wrap your arms around my pale skin,
it's too late to back out you're in,
on your knees and praise your new lord,
deeper now, and here's your reward,

take me to bed and rip me apart...

6. A Letter To God

Is this life this degradation
this pointless game, humiliation
Born to die, we're born to lose
and not one choice we make we choose
And when this life is at an end
we find that Death's our only friend
Must we suffer through your games, oh Lord?
Can God really be so bored?

We waste our lives destroying, hating,
while beneath our flesh a skull lies waiting
Blind to beauty blind to love,
we fear of our loving Lord above
Some live their lives to play their games,
some live as victims, the insane
Your experiment oh Lord has failed
and I trust that when we meet you will forgive us

It's futile so I'll end this note
and find a knife and slit my throat
and come to track you down oh Lord
you better watch your back,
be sure that when we meet you'll be surprised
no loving praise, no glee filled cries
Just pain and hate and tear filled sighs
and the question in the end is "Why?"

7. Carry On Screaming (Ruins)

I've knelt at your alter
I've cut out my heart
I've lived in your Ruins
my pain is your art

my wrists are bound tight so as not to bleed
my eyes were so dark so as not to see
the memories of the past
are fading like a bad dream

I've never been so alone than with you,
I've never been scared to dream until now,
I can't close my eyes,
I'll carry on, screaming

your words are like ice,
they melt in the heat
the cold and the pain
which you seem to breed
have become what you are
and left your ruins empty...

8. Theme From The Film Love And Affliction

[Instrumental]

9. Kiss

You'll never understand,
the meaning in the end,
we're standing at the gate,
you'll meet the darker fate,

your purity and rage,
your passion and your hate,
you promised more than bliss,
with your God and with your kiss,

I'm on my knees,
I beg your mercy,
my soul is my loss,
I'm well hung from your cross.

Take me,
take me in your arms my love and rape me,
don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me,
and always will,

you're my possession,
of that my love there really is no question,
don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
and always will,

my better half it's true
has seen the darker side of you,
innocence stripped away,
at least I've the brighter fate...
