The Killing Jar Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down where this ugly man seeks his sustenance
Down in the blue, midnight flare
A glass hand cuts through the water
Scything into his twisted roots
Then from his eyes spring fireflies
Breathing life into a roaring disguise
[Pre-Chorus]
Needles and sins, sins and needles
He's gasping for air
In the wishing well
[Chorus]
Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
[Verse 2]
A soft hoodwink of shadows the size of make-believe
Punches through his spike of rage
A glass hand cuts through the water
Snuffing out the magic fury
Then from inside bolt lightning cries
Swiftly crushed the final, muffled sighs
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, needles and sins, sins and needles
He's gasping for air
In the wishing well
[Chorus]
Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
[Outro]
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
Hand around the killing jar
The killing jar
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oooohhh oh
BurnāUp Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A crumpled future in your fist
The killing streak ascends sun-kissed
And the firestarter from within
Pokes out from fever blistered grin
King Salamander, that's his name
A desert maker, that's his aim
The benign cremator, branding iron in his hand
Eager and willing to torch the land
[Pre-Chorus]
All fire and brimstone, this jack-o-lantern
He likes to watch the buildings burn
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh ohh ohh, ohh-ohh
[Verse 2]
His ardour smoulders, phosphorous flies
He radiates with urgence to hypnotise
Stoke the furnace, feed his need
This thirst for fire is all he sees
He's the blazing rubber making tracks
The blue touch paper at your back
[Pre-Chorus]
All fire and brimstone, this salamander king
He basks whilst all around him burns
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh ohh ohh, ohh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh ohh ohh, ohh-ohh
[Verse 3]
"Giddy-up, burn-up, not fade away"
These words ignite and pave his way
"Giddy-up, burn-up, stoke it up and turn it up"
He sings these words in fervid frame
[Pre-Chorus]
All fire and brimstone, this jack-o-lantern
He likes to watch the pyres burn
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh ohh ohh, ohh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh ohh ohh, ohh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh ohh ohh, ohh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh ohh ohh, ohh-ohh
[Outro]
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candlestick
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candlestick
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ornaments of Gold Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Silver couches to recline upon and ornaments of gold
Silver moonbeams dance in fountains below shining citadels
Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs
Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air
[Chorus]
With ornaments of gold
(Heavenly [?] shine cold)
I'd warm my soul from the growing cold
([?] days are gone)
Ornaments of gold
[Verse 2]
We can drink from silver vessels
We can feed from silver bowls
Then I'll give you gilded treasures
Anointed by intoxicating oils
Drenched in riches unimaginable
Your splendour drips with jewels that are so beautiful
[Chorus]
And ornaments of gold
(Sparkling lights [?])
Warm my soul from the growing cold
(Glittering gilded treasure)
[Verse 3]
Adorable, rewardable you
From head to toe, I'd love to cover you
And smother you
[Chorus]
In ornaments of gold
(Ornaments, ornaments)
In honeydew, I'd love to cover you
Oh, lover do bring
Ornaments of gold
([?])
Protect our hearts from this cruel world
([?])
Ornaments of gold
([?])
Ornaments of gold
([?])
Rawhead and Bloodybones Lyrics
9 ContributorsRawhead and Bloodybones LyricsBad word or bad deed
Unpunished invites grief
Here's Rawhead and Bloodybones
Reaching from dark cupboard
Crouching under stair
Lurking in chimney, pond or well
We're down here, held here
Dragged here and drowned here by
Rawhead and Bloodybones
Pop-eyed, horns, bushy-tailed
Long teeth and claws as well
Rawhead and Bloodybones
Rhapsody Lyrics
7 ContributorsRhapsody LyricsIn the soil of our sadness
Hear our hearts bell a serenade
A faint choir tenderly shaping
A lament, a hollow refuge
In the blood of the twinkling sky
Breathing in air drunk dry
There was once a time of rapture
All is lost, a pale gleaming
Across this crooked land runs a crooked man
Our loved ones die under the hammer
Of the Soviet sun
Nothing can erase this night
But there's still light with you, rhapsody
And if we can never see the sun
There's still light with you, rhapsody
And I have seen all I want to
And I have felt all I want to
Rhapsody
Rhapsody
But we can dream all we want to
We can dream all we want to
Rhapsody
Oh, rhapsody
And I have seen all I want to
And I have felt all I want to
But we can dream all we want to
Yes, we can dream all we want to
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oooh, ooh, rhapsody
Rhapsody
In the soil of our sadness
Hear our hearts bell a serenade
A faint choir tenderly shaping
A lament, a hollow refuge
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Rhapsody
Oh, rhapsody
Rhapsody
Oh, rhapsody
There's still light with you, rhapsody
There's still light with you, rhapsody
But we can dream all we want to
Yes, we can dream all we want to
Rhapsody
Oh, rhapsody
