Depeche Mode - Mercy In You

You know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A longing to feed
On the mercy in you

I can't conceal
The way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel
When I have to deal
With the mercy in you

I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you

When here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you

I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you

When here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you

The Mission - Black & Blue

It's always the same, I'm always to blame
Your accusations leave me numb
And how I regret how you always forget
The violence and damaged done.

You always bring me down, you always bring me down
But I come crawling back to you and then you beat me
Black and blue, black and blue
I could never explain, the seduction of pain
It's like a bad drug I can't hick
And how can I resist when you seduce with your fists ?
Boys will be boys when the blood runs quick

You always bring me down, you always bring me down
It's a mystery to me how cruel you can be
You always bring me down, you always bring me down
But I come crawling back to you and then you beat me
Black and blue, black and blue

Chelsea Wolfe - Maw

Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?

In the man
Shattered teeth
Underneath a
Dripping tongue

I've been waiting
In this silence
While you're sleeping
Until you believe
Where are you?
Where are you?

In the maw
In a world so dirty
Intoxicated
A life of tears
In the maw
A world in a daze
None can be trusted
In the mouth of the beast

I've been waiting
In this silence
While you're sleeping
Until you believe

I've been waiting
In this silence
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Emma Ruth Rundle - Arms I Know So Well

Oh boundless life were we to gain
From lost lands to the garden's gate
Its fear of the frozen and unhappy skies
Burnt now, burnt now, breathing only fire

And deliver me from all the evil I did to myself
And deliver me to arms so open, arms I know so well

As for the dead, they can raise themselves
In secret I sing for no one else
Its fear of open spaces I have travelled in
Come so far, dragged myself on this phantom limb

Please deliver me from all the evil I did to myself
And deliver me to arms so open, arms I know so well

Björk feat. Arca - Future Forever

Imagine a future and be in it
Feel this incredible nurture, soak it in
Your past is on a loop, turn it off
See this possible future and be in it

Hold fort, for love, forever
We're just momentary vessels
We're just carrying

Trust your head around
Guide your stare elsewhere
Your love is already waiting
You're already in it

Hold fort for love, forever

Watch me form new nests
Weave a matriarchal dome
Build a musical scaffolding
Between sleep and awake
Day and night
Between sleep and awake

You say I mirror peoples' missions at them
Now you mirror at me who I used to be
What I gave to the world
You're giving back at me
Hold fort for love, forever

Paradise Lost - Another Desire

Leaving as the wind blows, I recall
I needed control…

Pain leaves harsh remains throughout the day
Pain leaves harsh remains throughout the day

Leaving as our lives close, I recall
I needed control…

Learning from the sorrow, I confess
I need some control…

Pain leaves harsh remains throughout the day
Pain leaves harsh remains throughout the day

Laughter lifts the spirit for a while
Life may seem of interest for a while

Learning from the sorrow…

Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares
of the Sea

And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and
the Mariner tells his tale.

Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God's name,
hoping good luck it brings.

And the ship sails on, back to the North
Through the fog and ice and
the albatross follows on

The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime.

Sailing on and on and North across the sea
Sailing on and on and North 'till all is calm

The albatross begins with its vengeance
A terrible curse a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner
About his neck, the dead bird is hung.

And the curse goes on and on and on at sea
And the thirst goes on and on for them and me

"Day after day, day after day,
we stuck nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and
all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink."

There, calls the mariner
there comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind
in her sails and no tide.

See... onward she comes
Onwards she nears, out of the sun
See... she has no crew
She has no life, wait but there's two

Death and she Life in Death,
they throw their dice for the crew
She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now.
Then ... crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She... She, Life in Death.
She lets him live, her chosen one.

"One after one by the star dogged moon,
too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
and cursed me with his eye
Four times fifty living men
(and I heard nor sigh nor groan),
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
they dropped down one by one."

The curse it lives on in their eyes
The Mariner he wished he'd die
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on, so did he.

And by the light of the moon
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blesses them
God's creatures all of them too.

Then the spell starts to break
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the Sea
Then down in falls comes the rain.

Hear the groans of the long dead seamen
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits
None of them speak
and they're lifeless in their eyes

And revenge is still sought, penance starts again
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on.

Now the curse is finally lifted
And the Mariner sights his home
Spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and
the Mariner's left alone

And then a boat came sailing towards him
It was a joy he could not believe
The Pilot's boat, his son and the hermit
Penance of life will fall onto Him.

And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea
And the hermit shrives the mariner of his sins

The Mariner's bound to tell of his story
To tell his tale wherever he goes
To teach God's word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made.

And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man
And the tale goes on and on and on.

The Cure - Fascination Street (Extended Mix)

Oh it's opening time
Down on Fascination Street
So let's cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading and paling
And I'm begging
To drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah! I like you in that
Like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth
Then I can't be responsible
For quite what goes in
Or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over
If you slip going under
Slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street

So pull on your hair
Pull on your pout
Cut the conversation
Just open your mouth
Pull on your face
Pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street

The National - 90-Mile Water Wall

Well I know that you know
That you've become the target of this hand
With never even asking
Well I know that you know
That you're the only thing that I can stand

So how could your hair
Have the nerve to dance around like that, blowing
And how could the air
Have the nerve to blow your hair around like that

I'm waiting for a 90-mile water wall
To take me out of your view
I'm looking for a trap door trigger
To drop me out of your view

Yes I'm listening I'm listening
I can tell that you are serious
Your looking for that hurt look around my mouth
The look of a steep fall
Yeah that's how Hersey put it

So you can make another claim
Well go ahead and make it
So you can make another claim
Well go ahead and make it

I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall
To take me out of your view
I'm praying for a trap door trigger

I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall
To take me out of your view
I'm praying for a trap door trigger

Yes I'm listening
I can tell you're serious

The Cult - Red Jesus

Girl has got no mind a woman's got no soul
Freedom moon is rising baby I'm a howling wolf
Time has finally come with golden wings we fly
With innocence by our side now baby going to tear the world apart

The man ain't got no heart the man ain't got no soul
Try to chase me down little mama and tear my head apart
Never going to get me a wolf child in my heart
Red Jesus come and save us baby from our final fall

It's a world of hurt coming down like a meteor fast
It's a world of hurt but my love was a built to last to last

A savage resurrection a howling rude awakening
A blizzard was a falling now baby without no hesitation
A chance to close the door which I must explore
Bandog dogs awaits me little honey this I can't ignore

It's a world of hurt coming down like a meteor fast
It's a world of hurt but this love was a built to last
It's a world coming down like a meteor fast
It's a world but my soul was a built to last to last to last

Don't you hear me crying
Crying now love
Freedom is a rising
Sweat from my brow
Red Jesus
Coming down soon
Red Jesus
Baby baby
