MANSION LYRICS

1. Wretched Hope

Hope
Wretched hope
Gives you a choice
Give you a voice, against the Lord

Ooh hope
A ray of hope
Leads you astray
Takes you away, from the Lord

Hope
Deceitful hope
Gives you a will
Gives you a thrill, oh my Lord

Hear my warning
The Lord is calling
Do you see the signs
It's the end of times

No hope
No more hope
Leaves you with faith
Leaves you to wait, for the Lord

So cope
Without hope
Without a wife
Without a life, on your own

Hear my warning
The Lord is calling
Do you see the signs
It's the end of times

You're fumbling in shadows
Like sorrowless' widows
Now it is too late
No more yesterday

You don't want your life
You wish that you would die
You get what you deserve
Forever you will burn

2. Lutheran

The reverend
That devil
Calls you to
Dance

Forever
On fire
Your soul
Screams

Seduction
Of the people
Who get lost
In the shadows

To church on Sunday
Only one day
When you pretend
You believe

A priest's collar
On a sinner
In league
With the devil

The reverend
That devil
Calls you to
Dance

Unholy
Church of Luther
Lucifer
In disguise

A priest's collar
On a sinner
In league
With the devil

Turn away for the church is falling
Cursed stones will tumble down
The wrath of God is homing in on
Lutherans

You will fall into a lake of fire
And know you've been mislead
You can't cry for your eyes will dry out
When you burn

3. The Eternal

[originally by Joy Division]

Procession moves on, the shouting is over,
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone.
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables,
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain.
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden,
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky,
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment,
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside.

Cry like a child, though these years make me older,
With children my time is so wastefully spent,
A burden to keep, though their inner communion,
Accept like a curse an unlucky deal.
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden,
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall,
No words could explain, no actions determine,
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall.

4. 1933

You got it wrong
You got it all wrong
You twist the word
Made the devil's bible
Fool! You got it wrong

Hear the truth
Hear the old truth
Withing the old
Translation
You'll find the truth

It's gonna burn
It's all gonna burn
You're summoning
The prince of darkness
Fool! You're gonna burn

The false bible
Your false idol
You're deceived
By the sinner's church
Fool! You'll never learn

You have to get rid of the lies
Through fire
You have to get rid of the lies
Through fire
One way to hell for you
And that's fire

Ignite the page
Before it's too late
You need to tear
Those lies apart
Fool! Before it's too late

Ignite the page
Before it's too late
You need to tear
Those lies apart
Fool! Before it's too late

You have to get rid of the lies
Through fire
You have to get rid of the lies
Through fire
One way to hell for you
And that's fire

It makes him furious
To know
That his will was altered

His true word is glorious
And we will always guard it

Distorted blasphemy
You serve and won't be saved

You won't be saved

5. First Death

I hold my breath
In contempt
And I repent
And regret

In his reign
In my shame
I own the pain
Never in vain

My every day
Is my
Last day
Went away

I grieve
And I believe
You will deceive
Like Adam and Eve

Pride, lust and greed
Your needs
Sin dwells within
Your itching skin

You are untrue
I always knew
And you confuse
Your children too

I don't pity
The fool, the tool
Who will drown
In his own stool

Oh how I pray
I pray
Today just
Went away

I grieve
And I believe
You will deceive
Like Adam and Eve

All the things you have done
Everyone you have wronged

Every lie you have told
Every time you loved gold

Even the time you felt proud
Felt too good to be allowed

I could never live like you
Could never do the things you do

You're a sinner
Go die bitter

All the things
You have done
Everyone
You have wronged

You're a sinner
No one delivers

Every lie
You have told
Every time
You loved gold

You're a sinner
Drowning in liquor

Even the time
You felt proud
Felt too good
To be allowed

You're a sinner
A broken mirror

I could never
Live like you
Could never
Do the things you do

You never saw the light
Welcome to afterlife

Your fate unbearable
Torment without an end

Leave us you sinful wretch
You're not to be blessed

Burning for evermore
In a fire lake without a shore

Soul eating demons roam
In a hell far from your home

Way past looking fair
Do you smell your burning hair
