.London After Midnight:Lyrics:Selected Scenes From The End Of The World

01. This Paradise (1991)

- I could take your breath away,
- I could make this feel so right
> - out of the blackest shadows into yourr burning light
- your touch would enthrall my heart, - my touch could release your soul
- lying warm and dark in your arms,
- come close to me now and take controll
- riding through endless nights,
- bury the nameless dead
- the stars will rain down in the nightt
- cast out of Heaven by jealous angels of death
- together we'll rule our world
- together we'll rule theirs too
- lightning and thunder collide at the edge of the world
- for me and you
- In this Paradise you'll find just whaat your looking for,
- beauty right before you eyes,
- how could you ask for more
- Here behind these eyes,
- here inside my soul
- hear the screams of a crucifixion rinng through the dark,
- ring through the cold
- reach up and pull me down into your hhallowed ground
- I'll lead you into temptation,
- buried in passion I'll lead you down....

02. Revenge (1991)

Written in vulgar disgust of ignorance, prejudice and jealousy:
Deep in this blackened void,
the space that used to be my soul
no ray of light no hope has shown there in the darkened cold.
In time memories and pain will fade and disappear they must,
but not until this mortal being has turned to scattered dust
- You cannot judge what you don't underrstand
take the blade from the child's hand
all the petty lies and the jealous whores
matter little and leave me bored
- Repent, Remorse
- Revenge
- why don't you just crucify me, nail mme to a cross
and bite and scratch and make me scream if that will get you off
- You say a fall from grace would suit me well,
well you can crawl straight back to Hell, fear not to lie,
it will seem a sharper hit nor to blaspheme it will pass for wit
- Repent, Remorse, Revenge.

03. The Black Cat (1987)

- Oh Little girl
- don't go away
- just come to bed
- and there we'll stay, oh little girl,, lie close to me
- just close your eyes
- what do you see
- Black Cat
- entrance me, devour me
- The storm outside is raging still
- there's no escape, the one that killss
- oh little girl, the time has come
- we think and move
- exist as one
- Black Cat
- entrance me, devour me.

04. Your Best Nightmare

- Long after midnight, on a night like this
- I'd sit by my blacklight and dream off your kiss
- pulsating music filled my room and myy head
- and I dreamed what it'd be like to haave you in my bed
- I'm your best nightmare
- And then it happened, you were in my arms
- your lips on my throat
- your hands on my, on my
- two bodies together the intimate sin<
- the pain and the pleasure could do moortals in
- how could you know what I'm thinking of
- to me lust can be as beautiful as lovve
- here tonight, your pure heart and souul
- untainted passion should have no conttrol
- She asked me if I...
- I told her the truth
- I said "I'm sorry it takes me longer than you"
- she smiled and blushed and continued to grind
- and promised to make me go out of my mind
- returning her promise she came to a hhalt
- licking my lips I tasted her salt
- then she sat up and gasped and clutchhed at her breast
- I thought she was coming
- I'd never have guessed that
- as she grew pale, as white as a floweer
- she collapsed to the floor and was deead in an hour.

05. Spider and the Fly

- Empty hearts I can hear them talking<
- I close my eyes and I keep on stalkinng my love
- my love
- no one's aware of the hunger I feel - it's something you or time cannot heaal
- I need someone to help me rise above<
- Eternal bliss is something I can showw you
- spread your arms and let my wings enffold you, my love
- In the darkness shades of crimson rappture
- the world is ours alone to capture myy love
- Come over here and let me tell you soomething
- nothing ever comes of nothing
- we pay a price for all our choices maade
- come along now and take my hand
> - I'll lead you to a promised land
- the morning after may never be the saame, it may never come again...

06. Claire's Horrors

- Spirits seem to drift up through a daarkened sky
- drifting through dead branches in thee night
- while in the moonlight we
- go down upon our knees
- entwined together only we can see theeir beauty
- Beneath the stars a bell begins to tooll
- for reasons which we really shouldn'tt know
- so take a walk with me down to the ceemetery
- wrap me in darkness, Claire make lovee to me
- I am thunder
- I am rain
- I am pleasure
- I am pain
- Only in darkness can there be light - tell me angel have you prayed tonightt?
- In the dark I know you all so well - beauty from Heaven wrapped 'round souuls from Hell
- so take a drink from me
- my sacrifice to thee
- damned fallen angels, always blessed with me.

07. Sacrifice

- ...and here we go again
- we've taken it to the end
- with every waking moment we face thiss silent torment
- I'd sacrifice, sacrifice myself to yoou
- right here tonight
- because you know that I love you
- Darkness is all I want to see
- I could never put in to words
- what it is you mean to me
- The candle is burning lower at the wiindow to my soul
- the reaper is at my door now
- he's come to take me home...
