lyrics
Alive you stand with your eyes
and there's no passion in your stare
My voice calls out desire and despair
Because you see it doesn't matter
who you are or what you do
There's a threat to you
Until you look out and really see for the first time
Yeah, the lights went out
Walking through the door
And we danced until I pushed him aside
And I said, "this is what we're here for"
As I knocked his body to the floor
It's a cage, it's a cage
Put up your head, we have eyes
We have eyes!
There'll be a threat to you
Until you look out and really see for the first time
And then the lights were out
My soul burned with a rage I never felt before
And when I touched flesh my passion screamed
and everything was a fire
Everything
My body ached
Have I ever been right?
Have I ever been right?
It's a lie, and you played the game, and you won
and now you die!
Saying "it's not fair", and with shock you tripped
and fell to the floor of my cage
And they set up leaderships and you worked all day
I slipped out of sight because I thought too much
And I couldn't enjoy losing my mind
There'll be a threat to you until you look out
And really see for the first time
And then the lights went out
The lights went out!
I see your eyes, we have eyes
In the cage
I call, where to go
Waiting by the door
There's nowhere to go, when the lights are low
When I fall to the floor, and I touch the skin
And passion bleeds through me again, again
I don't know when
Screaming, "it's not fair, it's not fair"
And the lights went out
The lights went out!

Can't remember who played the drums, but all the rest was Stephen and Darrin Huss. Dwayne actually wasn't involved.

So happy I bought the vinyl, fantastic collection of Cevin's early music. Recommended if you're into Skinny Puppy or if you're a fan of early EBM, industrial or noisey beats! :) jeff
