I'm Leaving
Absolute Body Control, 1981
Feeling guilty, feeling pain
Stupid feelings in my brain
No one hears the sound I make
My whole life was a big mistake
Before I’m leaving
There’s something I would say
You never would listen
It’s a price you have to pay
What does it matter?
I’m leaving here today
What does it matter?
I come back another day
Before I’m leaving
There’s something I would say
You never would listen
It’s a price you have to pay
Feeling guilty, feeling pain
Stupid feelings in my brain
No one hears the sound I make
My whole life was a big mistake
Before I’m leaving
There’s something I would say
You never would listen
It’s a price you have to pay

Witch Hunt
· Inkubus Sukkubus · 2008 ·
Wake up. You must wake up. There's danger sir
Wake up now-wake up now
Through eyes I see the torch light
Beyond the panes I sense a danger
There's silhouettes of a hundred people
My Sister Moon would reveal no stranger
Collect my mantel, collect my senses
I must away, slip into the dark night
Would they go, I should sleep 'til sunrise
And with the day there would be some respite
Fly, sister, fly
Into the dark night that loves you;
Into the darkness
Let not their eyes catch your shining
Out the door and into the night air
Oh, sweet Moon, don't betray your sister now
Across the fields not a glance behind me
The din so loud they must be upon me
Away and away and away now
Fast as the wind, just as fast as the hare now
Were I a cat, I would not act fearfully
Those stumbling men would be no match for me

I Just Can’t Get You Out of My Head
Inkubus Sukkubus
Fly, sister, fly
Into the dark night that loves you;
Into the darkness
Let not their eyes catch your shining
[panting]
Fly, sister, fly
Into the dark night that loves you;
Into the darkness
Let not their eyes catch your shining
Must catch my breath, must not let them hear me
Though my heart is so loud it would deafen me
Now a shout they must know where I lie
So to my feet and again I must fly
Rush through the trees, the thorn, the bramble
While high above an owl flies carefree
Why be I here, I should be beside him
Where will I go, they'd expect it of me
Fly, sister, fly
Into the dark night that loves you;
Into the darkness
Let not their eyes catch your shining
Fly, sister, fly
Into the dark night that loves you;
Into the darkness
Let not their eyes catch your shining
Fly, sister, fly
Into the dark night that loves you;
Into the darkness
Let not their eyes catch your shining
Fly, sister, fly…

Nemesis
Die Laughing, 1996
When I see you, hate burns deep within my heart
When I hear you, your words fail to tear me apart
You’re in my soul, you’re in my mind,
Forgiveness I can’t find
Your empty eyes and malicious cries,
He’ll see through your lies
You try to victimise, anyone who stands in your way
I’ve seen your judas kiss, but it’s one game that i wont play
Whilst the cold blood flows in your veins,
Her curse on you remains
You challenged fate and failed to win,
Let her judgement begin
When nemesis calls,
She’s going to pay back all the pain you caused
When nemesis calls,
She’ll bedevil your shallow world as it falls
When nemesis calls,
You’ll feel her flames of evil ecstasy
When nemesis calls,
I’m going to take back everything you stole from me
You live to criticise, all that i say and all i do
You live to bleed them dry, yet the fools still believe in you
Your evil mind raises cain in me, only faults in you i see
So thinly veiled this cancerous hate,
Can’t repent it’s too late
When nemesis calls,
She’s going to pay back all the pain you caused
When nemesis calls,
She’ll bedevil your shallow world as it falls
When nemesis calls,
You’ll feel her flames of evil ecstasy
When nemesis calls,
I’m going to take back everything you stole from me
You’re in my soul, you’re in my mind
When nemesis calls…
Have we made you paranoid?
At last your time draws near
You scream at spirits, but it’s our power you should fear
We’re drawing close, nowhere to hide
With nemesis on our side
There’s no one left to praise your name.
Time to enter the flame
When nemesis calls,
She’s going to pay back all the pain you caused
When nemesis calls,
She’ll bedevil your shallow world as it falls
When nemesis calls,
You’ll feel her flames of evil ecstasy
When nemesis calls,
I’m going to take back everything you stole from me
