Current 93 - Ballad Of The Pale Girl lyrics

Your rating:

On bended knees we pray for war, a blade draws blood 
but often tarnishes
Through blazing eyes I see new sunsets, sky now 
breaking different shades of red
We pray for blades, ablazing locusts call for wars to 
wet the earth
To cover the world in black and bracken, flaming 
stubble with church bell battles
And then I lie in the arms of a smiling girl who prays 
to Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
When did I stand before I touched the shadows of this 
life that touch the dark and dream of ice
An endless winter in this dogday-age, I kiss the cross 
but dream of wars
A bagatelle for a massacre or wars of fire were build 
to last
Old men die and stone will turn to stone
And then I kiss the mouth of a smiling girl who calls 
on Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Immaculate heart of immaculate love a tawdry scarecrow 
for a tarnished crown
His five wounds bleed but only on his throne, his 
toothless smile cuts wide across his face
And then I kiss the mouth of a smiling girl who calls 
on Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
And what shall I receive a little drum to beat when I 
march with scorched earth's steps
A rocking horse for a little warrior to trample around 
and down from fields of rape
An alabaster doll for the little maid while she waxes 
and wanes through the blood of the moon
And camouflaged smocks for the purest of pure, a 
masculine mark, and the flag of their shame
And I kiss the lips of the smiling girl who calls on 
Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
And where shall I go back there and back, furthest and 
far, to the edge of the shore
The snow falls thick his mantle of strength descends 
with a winter on those in his service
The snow is the winner
Message of winter, your hope shall be crushed
The lightflame grows dimmer
Child's laughter ceases on a front with no ending
Within words with no meaning
Child's laughter sickens
Child's fever rages
Smouldering pages
Inquisition!
And I die in the arms of a smiling girl who prays to 
Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
