I'm In love

Track 1 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung




I’m in Love

Running through the forest
Bleeding all around
Bodies lay naked
Strewn upon the ground

Running through the graveyard
Running past the tomb
Where love lies dead
Bleeding from her womb

Dieing in this sickness
Where darkness hangs above
My sores are gaping open
For now I’m in love

Running from the vampires
Hiding in the mist
Surrendering my love
For death’s lips I kissed

Running from the woman
Haunting in my head
Chaining me upon love’s
Forsaken bed

Oh, I’m in love

i pray for sleep

Track 2 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung




I Pray for Sleep

I’m twisting away
Like yesterday
I reached out my hand for her
And saw her hand on mine
And saw nothing but a ghost
Whose bitter-sweet lips
Tasted like wine

I saw the ghost from afar
Whose name I know not
Watching her eyes
Transfixed on me
Her mouth drawn and taut

I pray for sleep if only short
But I’m drawn close to her
I close my eyes to wish her gone
The ghost of mine in splendour

Help me I scream
To the world growing cold
As I reached up to grab the ghost
And found my own soul cold

I found it cold

The Rain Will Never Cease to Fall

Track 3 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung



The Rain Will Never Cease to Fall

Whispered Words on the wind
And I was not the one
Softly fold and softly slide
Underneath the sun

Like ancient walls and towers
Or birds that fall in flight
Creeping words and creeping thoughts
Slither through the night

The rain will never cease to fall
The sun will never shine
But in this very dark my dear
I still can’t find the time

Falling tears and pedals
Shatter on my floor
Hungry men and children
Pounding on my door

As i Hung

Track 4 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung



As I Hung

As I hung by my neck in the bottomless pit
The words which you said that didn’t mean shit
Came back to me as I saw your face
Burn with disgust in this unholy place
I fought and I gasped for every last breath
Rejecting the fear and welcoming death
My phallic image being casted by light
Forgetting all else and recalling that night
That night I saw you dance in the fire
When my heart yearned for your every desire
I desired to see and to taste your skin
To hold you tight like a siamese twin
I can’t I screamed as the thin rope frayed
As I fell in your heart grotesque and decayed

Grotesque and decayed

There is a Lady Sweet and Kind

Track 5 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung



There is a lady Sweet and Kind

There is a Lady sweet and kind,
Was never face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.

Her gesture, motion, and her smiles,
Her wit, her voice my heart beguiles,
Beguiles my heart, I know not why,
And yet I love her till I die.

Cupid is wingèd and doth range,
Her country so my love doth change:
But change she earth, or change she sky,
Yet will I love her till I die.
