THE CULT LYRICS

1. War


Cultivate a war breed
Get the head your soul needs
Crystallize at light speed
Dis the lies that they feed

Cultivate a war breed
Get the head your soul needs
Crystallize at light speed
Dis the lies that they feed, that they feed

We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control

War, a state of mind
War, our hearts are blind
War, is nature dead?
War, war

Holy war, tears of man
Drop your front, baby, obey the command
Holy war, tears of man
Drop your front, baby, obey my command

Split the lip that dope feeds
Exterminate the bad seed
Tread the path that monks breathe
Ride the horse that runs free, that runs free

We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control

War, a state of mind
War, our hearts are blind
War, is nature dead?
War, war

Holy war, tears of man
Drop your front, baby, obey the command
Holy war, tears of man
Drop your front, baby, obey my command

Lies, drugs, hate, guns, God, fear, flies, sex
Lies, drugs, hate, guns, God, fear, flies, sex

We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control
We're burning out of control

War, a state of mind
War, our hearts are blind
War, is nature dead?
War, war

Holy war, tears of man
Drop your front, baby, obey the command
Holy war, tears of man
Drop your front, baby, obey my command


2. The Saint


Hail the guitar, all tuned down
In a power circle, obey the crowd
All ride a wave, crash right in
Lovers and fighters, adrenaline

The singer spits, our hearts all rise
Energy is visible, we all crush tight
All washed away, tsunami wave
Fragile human, all the same

And now, I face the sound
When all around is burning
I'm like Hermes, drifting down

I am the saint, your path into the light
I am the knife that cuts right through your life
I have found the path immortalized
I am the saint, the path into the light

Caught in a trap, the systems are down
Communication's broken, I feel underground
Weight of the storm, in sound, we all drown
You'll never understand what drives us all on

And now, I face the sound
And all around is burning
I'm like Hermes, drifting down, down, down, down

I am the saint, your path, the way, the light
I am the knife that cuts right through your life
I have found the path immortalized
I am the saint, your path, the way, the light

I am the saint, your path into the light
I am the knife that cuts right through your life
I have found the path immortalized
I am the saint, your path, the way, the light

I am the saint...

Ashes and ghosts are all around me, yeah on
On the night of the assassins, they came, and I was ready

And never chosen one of us

I was standing on the mountain, back against the world
Left it all behind me, how my life had turned
Seen so much destruction, the fear upon your skin
Don't let it turn against you, drive you down again

Possessed by a notion of how my life should be

All you true believers

All you true believers
You gotta move on with your life, yeah

Pick up your pretty head, girl, stop crying to yourself
Run into the wild places far from here
We are darker angels, black lighting in our heads
We are far beyond the moment, too far to care

Standing on the mountain, our backs against the world
When we leave it all behind us, how our lives have turned, whoa-oh

13. Libertine


[Japanese and Australian version track]

Bless the children and the beasts so beautiful unique
Their destruction makes me weak my experience is so deep
Her voice is a beatin' down she pushes through the crowd
And kisses me on the mouth and her name is ah Libertine
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
All my friends are at the feast angry righteous free
Fightin' the disease violence against the seed
Her voice is a beatin' down for time and around the crowd
She kisses me on the mouth and her name is ah Libertine ooh
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine Libertine aw Libertine Libertine
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine and I can't quite control myself
Libertine Libertine aw Libertine Libertine
