Garden Of Delight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shimmering over all those wistful faces
And the promise burning brightly in their eyes
In this violent flesh the cut that bleeds the kiss that stings
Desperate snows fall from desperate skies
CHORUS
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
Home.....
Reflections in the liquid windswept mirror
The breathless world elegance and charm
The treasured touch, the first touch of a stranger
It charmed me, entranced me, no harm
So...
CHORUS
This child of death, kissing in the playground
Senses swirling, faithful to the kill
Playing with fire,a chance among the playsound
Covered in burns and turn away, they're dancing still
So...
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden
Of delight
Of delight
[repeat]
CHORUS
Home (home)
Home (home)
Home (home)
Home (home)
Garden of Delight
(alt.lyrics)
See the dancing laughing naked faces
And the promise burning brightly in their eyes
This violent flesh the cut that bleeds the kiss that stings
Desperate snows fall from shimmering skies
CHORUS
So
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden
Of delight
Reflections in the windswept liquid mirror
Of the breathelsss world elegance and charm
The treasured first kiss of a stranger
It charms entranced me i know you mean me no harm
CHORUS
This happy death, kissing in the playground
Senses swirling, faithful to the kill
I'm playing with fire dancing in the flames
I'm covered in burns that just won't heal
CHORUS
Of delight
CHORUS
Of delight
CHORUS
