Exile

Down in the park
Where the machmen meet
The machines are playing `kill-by-numbers'
Down in the park with a friend called `five'

I was in a car crash
Or was it the war?
Well, i've never been quite the same
Little white lies like "i was there"


Come to "zom-zom's", a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans
Try to run


Oh, look, there's a rape machine
I'd go outside if it looks the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do


Down in the park
Where the chant is "death, death, death"
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine


"we are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you"
A different face but the words never change

Do you believe in heaven?
That man's soul is eternal?
Our prayers are always answered?
And miracles can happen?

Save me.

But don't you wonder?
The holy ghost and jesus?
In paradise and angels?
That god is all forgiving?

Save me.

Reward the faithful?
He lies to you and deceives.
A dark salvation comes.
Innocence bleeding.

Too dark to see the pictures of heaven
Too dark to find the garden of eden.
Blinded by faith and stories of wonder,
Devine mercy? mercy lies bleeding.

Save me.

I've been waiting here
Waiting for faith
And the word to fall.
Now the darkness comes
And i'll pray for
The end of us all.

Don't let the dark into me
We killed the angels that warned us of you
Don't let the dark into me
We raised the tower of babel for you
Don't let the dark into me
We let the children build temples for you
Don't let the dark into me
Don't let the vengeance of heaven be you

So pray to me, i'm the lord's new disease,
Look down into the face of god.
Bow down and cry, i'm the black messiah,
The one true divinity.
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter,
Who said i'd save anyone?
So bleed for me, i need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind.

Don't let the light shine on me
I am the poison that feeds life to you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the demon that waits inside you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the ghost that reminds death of you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the darkness that crawls into you

In my darkness
I hear jesus crying.
In my darkness
I see children savage and blind.
In my darkness
I see dead men kneel before the cross.
In my darkness
I hear the voice of evil.

"disciples, dark angels,
This is dominion day"
"my demons, come to me
This is dominion day"

In his darkness
I can feel the storm come.
In his darkness
Holy water burns my soul.
In his darkness
A grave waits for you at heaven's gate.
In his darkness
I hear screams that hide the voice of god.

"come children of eden
Pray to me on dominion day".
"pray for your salvation,
Sanctuary on dominion day"

My soul, save me.

In his mercy,
He will bring the disease.
In his mercy
He will burn the oceans.
In his mercy
He will tear the sky down.
In his mercy
He will make pain eternal.

"your nightmare is breathing
This is dominion day."
"welcome to your saviour
This is dominion day."
"this is my new kingdom.
This is dominion day."
"creation bleeds for me.
This is dominion day."

I won't pray here
Or bow my head
I won't praise your name
I won't kneel down.

I won't pray to you
On this side of sane (oh lord)
I won't pray to you
On this side of hell (father)
I won't pray to you
On this side of heaven again.

I don't need faith
Forgiveness of sin
I don't need saving
I don't need lies.

I don't believe
In the angel wars (oh lord)
I don't believe
In the virgin birth (father)
I don't believe
In the cross on the hill (jesus)
I don't believe
In the kindness of god to man.

I'll drive a stake
Through the black of your heart (oh lord)
I'll pull down your temples
And burn every word (father)
I'll kill all the angels
That show me "the light" (jesus)
I'll drift into darkness
And tear out the soul of god

Thought i was asleep
Lost to dreams
I was dying in a big machine
Didn't think the voice that called me
Could be real.

Thought i woke up
Lost my faith
I was staring at the face of rage
Didn't think i'd see the demon in "his" heart.

Thought i saw blood
Turn to wine
A vision from the angel wars
Didn't think i'd find the saviour in the dark.

Thought i saw a light
Tear the storm
Showing me the way to god
Didn't know that heaven died and went to hell.

Blessed is dead heaven
Blessed are shadows and pain
Blessed is dead heaven
Blessed is death in "his" name

Thought i saw rain
Black and cold
Falling on a child's grave
Thought i saw an angel laugh and piss on it.

Thought i saw a dance
Strange and cruel
Swaying to the screams of men
Thought i saw the lord's disciples laugh at that.

Thought i saw love
Sacrificed
Mary under three wise men
Thought i saw the virgin look at me and cry.

Thought i saw a cross
And jesus dead
Burning in the midnight sky
Thought i saw god dancing in the flames.

Glory is dead heaven
Glory is shadows and pain
Glory is dead heaven
Glory is death in "his" name

"do you confess?"
"cleanse your sin"
"do you believe in the word of god?"

Welcome to dead heaven
Welcome to shadows and pain
Welcome to dead heaven
Welcome to death in "his" name
