TENEBRE LYRICS

1. Descend From Heaven

You are the flower
Sparkle in a thousand colours
You are the sun
Dry the tears of sorrow

You are an angel
Chase my shadows away
You are the paradise
Where I want to stay

You are the haven
While the world storms
The centre of the universe
Infinite and without form

You are the fever
Burning in my soul
You are the cross
I hang naked and cold

DESCEND FROM HEAVEN
COME INTO MY ARMS
DESCEND FROM HEAVEN
WIPE THE SINS AWAY

2. Crimson Beast

I wake in the morning
I raise my head
I look in the mirror
And the crimson beast appear

God knows I'm a sinner
Who loves to sin
And the devil knows
Got the crimson beast within

The ravens circle around
Up in the sky
Don't let them come down
Where the crimson beast resides

Turn my face to the god
They taught me to love
Provoked the holy scriptures
For the crimson beast to shove

I danced with the devil
I cut my arms
Took the fiddle and the drum
The night the crimson beast us charms

The rules made of stone
I traded for gold
And the seven sins
Gave the crimson beast my soul

Father son and the holy ghost
But the crimson beast the one I chose
Mother mary cry tears of blood
The crimson beast is my god

3. It's A Sin

[Pet Shop Boys cover]

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

4. In Xanadu

Like the bleeding of your zodiac sign
The road to hell's gonna blow your mind
Golden tounged devil licking down your spine
Kiss the reaper, turn your blood to wine

Clandestine dreams of smoke prevail
Demon mandarins laughing exhale
Fields of green stars for sale
In Xanadu the truth wears a tail

The brass horns from the head of my Black brother
Suicide I'll abide, take it slow O White mother
I won't dream again until again I dream with you
Draw the line you'll be fine in the halls of Xanadu

Leave me alone
I'm a Juju
I'm on my own
I've got voodoo
