lyrics

Helen/Faust

there was a man who walked off the road on to a twisted path
his feet kept stumbling over thickets and stones his flashlight dimming fast
and where he stepped was wavering in the half-light of the moon
the distant dogs were baying all night through the silence of his tomb
he won't play nice he can't sit quiet he wants to lead you to your doom
he knows a secret he'd like to tell you make you a member of his crew
I've got to warn you he might deceive you and give you everything that you desire
he'll be your lawyer write up the papers just sign in blood and take the key
to the silence of your tomb to the silence of your tomb
once a woman crawled from the brush on to a royal road
she had a spirit that the world couldn't crush no matter what its load
and where she stepped was shimmering in the full light of the sun
the brazen bells were ringing a chime for her victories ever won
she don't need cheers cause she can face fears she wants to take you by the hand
she knows the secret she'd like to school you make you member of the band
I've got to warn you she might deceive you and give you everything that you desire
she'll be a warrior goddess of battles just shed your blood and pay the price
for your victories ever one for your victories ever one
you know we live to die
