I hear the roar of a big machine

Two worlds and in between

Hot metal and methedrine

I hear empire down

I hear empire down

[Verse 2]

I hear the roar of a big machine

Two worlds and in between

Love lost, fire at will, dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill

I hear dive bombers, and empire down

Empire down

[Chorus]

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed

Get down, get undressed

Get pretty but you and me

We got the kingdom, we got the key

We got the empire, now as then

We don't doubt, we don't take direction

Lucretia, my reflection

Dance the ghost with me

[Bridge]

We look hard

We look through

We look hard

To see for real

Such things I hear, they don't make sense

I don't see much evidence, I don't feel

I don't feel

Well, I don't feel

A long train held up by page on page

A hard reign held up by rage

Once a railroad

Now it's done

[Verse 3]

I hear the roar of the big machine

Two worlds and in between

Hot metal and methedrine

I hear empire down

[Chorus]

We got the empire, now as then

We don't doubt, we don't take reflection

Lucretia, my direction

Dance the ghost with me

Gimme the ring, kissed and told

Gimme something that I missed (Gimme the ring)

A hand to hold, wild and what it seems (Gimme the ring)

Kill the king with love is the law

And then "wheel" turn round (Gimme the ring)

Gimme dream child and do you hear me call? (Gimme the ring)

On the loan and on the level

And still on the floor (Gimme the ring)

Sing dream child and do you hear at all?

[Verse 3]

On days like this

In times like these

I feel an animal deep inside

Heel to haunch on bended knees

Living on if and if I tried

Somebody send me please

Dream wars and a ticket to seem

Giving out and in

Selling the don't belong

Well, what do you say?

D'you have a word for Giving Away?

Got a song for me?

[Outro]

I got nothing to say I ain't said before

I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more

I don't need no one to understand

Why the blood runs cold in the hired hand

On heart, hand of God

Floodland and Driven Apart

[Intro]

And her hallway moves

Like the ocean moves

And her hallway moves

Like the sea

Like the sea

[Verse 1]

She says no no no no harm will come your way

She says bring it on down, bring on the wave

She says "Nobody done no harm"

Grace of God and raise your arms

She says "Face it and it's a place to stay"

[Pre-Chorus]

This, this is the way it was

This, this is the way it is

When the water come rushing, rushing in

[Chorus]

She says

She says anytime

Raise your arms

Flood

[Post-Chorus]

And her hallway

Like...

Like...

[Verse 2]

Like a million voices call my name

Like a million voices calling

Not now, not never again...

Sitting here now in this bar for hours

Strange men rent strange flowers

Seconds to the drop but it feels like hours and I

Think I'm going to... going to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]

This, this is the way it was

This, this is the way it is

When the water come rushing, rushing in

[Chorus]

She says

She says anytime

Raise your arms

Flood

[Post-Chorus]

And her hallway...

[Chorus]

She says

She says anytime

Raise your arms

Flood

[Post-Chorus]

And her hallway...

[Outro]

Like the wave

Like the sea

10 ContributorsNever Land (Full Length) LyricsEldritch on this song:

I had this vision. You know in the summer if you lay on the grass and stare at the sky, you can almost see beyond the stars, but cannot quite get a grip on what’s there? Well… Read More And when your nerves break your thought

And my word break your will

And the heart break me over this wheel

They are coming down

Wait for

Hand in hand in hand in hand

They are coming down

Wait for

They are coming down

But we will

Never never never land

I had a face on the mirror

I had a hand on the gun

I had a place in the sun and a

Ticket to Syria

I had everything within my reach

I had money and stuff

Each and every call

Too much but never enough

Tear it up and watch it fall

They are coming down

Wait for

Hand in hand in hand in hand

They are coming down

Wait for

They are coming down

But we will

Never never land

With our backs to the sky

And our eyes on the ground

With the clouds far below

No horizon around

With the wind in our face

And our arms open wide

We will pass through this place

To the other side

All the days of our lives

All the ways of our calling

Follow...

I had a face on the mirror

I had a hand on the gun

I had a place in the sun and a

Ticket to Syria

I had everything within my reach

I had money and stuff

Each and every call

Too much but never enough

Tear it up and watch it fall
