Fields of The Nephilim - Power lyrics
==========================
Power
~~~~~
Revision 4. 11 Feb '93.
Thanks to the usual people who corrected lyrics in this one.
Special thanks to S.Simpson (ssimpson@nemesis.calpoly.edu) for getting
me back on track with the first draft of The Tower.
Special thanks to Spiggy who pointed out a *big* mistake in Secrets:
What was: "It seems I know where no one can find him"
is "Secrets, I know where no one can find them"
They don't get more obviuos than that :-)

Power
Power feeds you, Long loving hours
I can't live, everlasting power {I can't leave everlasting flower}
Flower
World opens you, to simple flower
A feeling, a feeling of success
Draining me, now, Draining me from power
Draining me, now, Draining me from power
The wide open stench of our success {.. our sex?}
I can't give, but I'll receive for hours
Draining me, now, Draining me from power
Draining me, now, Draining me from power
Draining, Static, from the attic
Ideal Power {I need power ????}
Draining me, now, Draining me from power
Draining me, now, Draining me from power
Draining, Static, from the attic
Ideal Power
The Power, so so tight {Seems so nice ????}
See the heart is burning
I call it static
I'm static
So charismatic
You're so tragic
My lips are manic {My love so manic??}
I have the power
You seem so frantic {I'm a sex fanatic}
My life is turning
I'm systematic
See my touch
Makes you cower
Dreaming of..
My waking hour.
Secrets
~~~~~~~
He rides on the crest of a wave
His hands now running out {run for miles}
He acts against the same way in
As I run across town with doubt
I forgive you, follow me (x3)
I'll forgive you (x3)
I've seen the heart of man fall {...hollow man fall ??}
I've seen him crawl
Secrets, I know where no one can find them
Behind the darkened door
I can't hear what she wrote to me
I can't see the movements she made
Because..
I can't see you! (x3)
I can't see
I've seen the heart of man fall {I can hear the 't' in heart??}
I've seen him crawl
Secrets, I know where no one can find them
Behind the darkened door
The darkened door (x3)
I forgive you, follow me (x3)
I'll forgive, I'll forgive
I'll for....
I've seen the heart of man fall
I've seen him crawl
Secrets, I know where no one can find them
Behind the darkened door
The darkened door (x3)
The Tower
~~~~~~~~~
She lifts the flowers from her window box
Summer's found now winter flocks
She lifts her veil to the morning rain
Wipes her eyes to the summer again
A thousand years shimmer on her face
Cut inside she re-dreams the taste
She knocks the flowers from the window side
They fall to the ground, they fall to the ground
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
Now the woman in an aging form
She's tangled in the bushes tall
Cow'ring down with head in hand
She cries out loud, she cries out loud
Seems so cold, it seems so cold tonight
Seems so cold, seems so cold tonight
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
She can't see visions of this force below
Freezes her life through the joke
She heads to the voice of this rainy day
It cries like a choir in her mind "Just stay"
Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head
See the crowd who were at the fire which is your bed
She then danced through the kitchen through the force below
What cries "Now fun!" but Oh so slow
Just living
Like a dreamless child with hatred
She's never been quite as cut by life before
Never been cut by way of life before
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
Hide away from the raging sun
You hide your love from the fire beyond
She can't see visions of this force below
Freezes her life through the joke
She heads to the voice of this rainy day
It cries like a choir in her mind "Just stay"
Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head
See the crowd who were at the fire which is your bed
She then danced through the kitchen through the force below
What cries "Now fun!" but Oh so slow
But Oh so slow {Repeat to fade}
--ooOoo
