The Thrash Of Naked Limbs 

Beauty is fragile, and time eats at it 

This passion play 

Smothered in effort, The thrash of naked limbs 

Glistening skin 

Close your eyes, the whispered sighs 

Frightening lust 

Sweet was her breath, tasted by mine 

Words are more effective when concealed 

Through the halflight on her body 

My fearful hands tremble their way 

Take me, anywhere that you like 

Hold me, deep within. Do what you like 

Take me, anywhere. Warm the night 

Take me, take me, take me 

With the lights low, and you naked on the warm floor 

Me beside you, softly kissing, caressing 

Make love to her while she's crying 

I could die now, and die happy 

Le Cerf Malade 

Il en coute A qui vous reclame 

Medecins du corps et de l'ame 

O temps! O moeurs! J'ai beau crier 

Tout le monde se fait payer 

Gather Me Up Forever 

The pain never stops 

The race ignore me 

I sit here twisted, and it hurts me. 

The Son is near 

His way made for him 

Among the hopes 

Ten thousand suffering 

Oh how my heart aches 

The brilliant stories cascade about me 

To be handsome again 

Thou art all deformed, and I feel your pain 

What I touch with my hand, I touch with my heart. 

The affection of stillness 

Kiss the hand that blesses me 

And as the panting ceased 

My blood runs now fierce 

This when I was young, before I knew nothing 

Now I'm the hunted, for the guilt that stains my hands. 

I Am The Bloody Earth 

Lay down with beasts, and welter in my gore 

Fill your cups of Christ. I am the bloody earth 

Bright, riding in heaven. The player in rags 

White Bat is death? Feed it to pigs 

Rise to be a king, shining with power 

Down silent avenues, I live on 

Life You owe yours to me 

Wear Me around your neck 

Kneel And cry for me 

Son Father please help me 

Safe delivery of a handsome child 

Merry and sweet looking 

My endeavours to rise seem useless 

But I will fight the distance between us
