about

We thought this was going to be our first single hit! We recorded this incredibly short "Pop" song before later turning it into an industrial version
as our first demo sometime in 1983 around the time of Wrench. We took it with us on a family trip to Europe hoping we'd get signed to Mute or something for this less than two minute piece of Synth Minimalism. It's DAF Style bass-line and weird lyrics still hold up I think.

lyrics

Tortured images fade into black sunlight
I hold out my hands and then it takes a bite
I feel elephant skin of a hardened kiss
I'll crush the gears, and my soul burns to a crisp

My hands reach down to my waste
I feel something cold and wet
Brush pass my skin
My hands stretch to reach the sky
And as my fingers touch the clouds
I see his eyes

And they're screaming fire, screaming fire
saying, "hold on tight".

But it's wet, and I slip and fall into the mud below
And the scales on my skin begin to grow
The veins on my hands are turning blue
Tortured colours fade into black sunlight

Screaming fire, I'm a bloody mess
They're the liars
My tortured flame fades into black sunlight
My tortured flame fades into black sunlight..

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
