lyrics

See me through your keyhole
Prowling round your gate;
Hear my claws on all your doors,
Waiting for my chains to break-
Slouching towards Bethlehem,
I am howling for a form
To be born

Screaming in the brush in the Schalken,
I filled the inkwells of de Sade,
I marked Macbeth and Malcolm,
Fed the pride of Kierkegaard,
Led them to the loneliness
At the centre of the storm
To be born

Oh rock me softly, pray you keep
Me locked within my stony sleep.
I am the fire beneath all skin,
Roaring for the taste of sin!

Do you feel the chill begin to bite?
You'll beg for my help yet;
There's no honour among parasites
But hell is fond of debt.
I draw your accounts in red-
The colour of the dawn-
To be born

Oh rock my softly, swiftly spread
The rings of salt around your bed;
The candle fails, you twist and check
For midnight breath upon your neck!

My sword sleeps in the hands of fools,
The world waits to be drowned,
The sky is burning like a jewel,
Your house is tumbling down-
Rest your ears against the wall
And hear the locusts swarm
To be born!
