| Anhedonia |
| They never see the daylight For as the whip cracks at dawn The slaves scurry to its lashes Very proud to be forlorn No devils in this underworld The monsters here are all to real And slowly the machine turns on With minions at its heel The wraiths emerge in darkness Half-escape their treadmill tomb And wretched they tramp homeward In the gathering gloom No devils in this underworld The monsters here are all to real And slowly the machine turns on With minions at its heel Exhausted by their hard labour Up the stairs and in to bed The freeze in night's cold embrace Until one day they wake-up dead No devils in this underworld The monsters here are all to real Satanic Verses miss the point The evil is the way we feel |
