Inside Lyrics - Sacred Love - Sting

Inside the doors are sealed to love 

inside my heart is sleeping 

inside the fingers of my glove 

inside the bones of my right hand 

inside it's colder than the stars 

inside the dogs are weeping 

inside the circus of the wind 

inside the clocks are filled with sand 

inside she'll never hurt me 

inside the winter's creeping 

inside the compass of the night 

inside the folding of the land 

Outside the stars are turning 

outside the world's still burning 

Inside my head's a box of stars i never dared to open 

inside the wounded hide their scars, inside this lonesome sparrow's fall 

inside the songs of our defeat, they sing of treaties broken 

inside this army's in retreat, we hide beneath the thunder's call 

Outside the rain keeps falling 

outside the drums are calling 

outside the flood won't wait 

outside they're hammering down the gate 

Love is the child of an endless war 

love is an open wound still raw 

love is a shameless banner unfurled 

love's an explosion, 

love is the fire of the world 

love is a violent star 

a tide of destruction 

love is an angry scar 

a violation, a mutilation, capitulation, love is annihilation. 

Inside the failures of the light, the night is wrapped around me 

inside my eyes deny their sight, you'd never find me in this place 

inside we're hidden from the moonlight, we shift between the shadows 

inside the compass of the night, inside the memory of your face 

Outside the walls are shaking 

inside the dogs are waking 

outside the hurricane won't wait 

inside they're howling down the gate 

Love is the child of an endless war 

love is an open wound still raw 

love is a shameless banner unfurled 

love's an explosion, 

love is the fire at the end of the world 

love is a violent star 

a tide of destruction 

love is an angry scar 

the pain of instruction 

love is a violation, a mutilation, capitulation, 

love is annihilation. 

I climb this tower inside my head 

a spiral stair above my bed 

i dream the stairs don't ask me why, 

i throw myself into the sky 

Love me like a baby, love me like an only child 

love me like an ocean; love me like a mother mild 

love me like a father, love me like a prodigal son 

love me like a sister, love me like the world has just begun 

love me like a prodigy, love me like an idiot boy, 

love me like an innocent, love me like your favorite toy 

love me like a virgin, love me like a courtesan, 

love me like a sinner, love me like a dying man. 

Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me, mutilate me, inundate me, violate me, implicate me, vindicate me, devastate me 

Love me like a parasite, love me like a dying sun 

love me like a criminal, love me like a man on the run 

Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me, demarcate me, educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me, conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me, humiliate me, segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me
