DEATH IN JUNE   1989
The Corn Years

1. Heilige!

Instrumental



2. Torture by Roses

Lost the will?
A germ in foreign blood
A glimmer of the past
Power and misery

Pathetic whore
To the ignorance of life
This is the best
It will ever be
Think of the things
That will never be

Sorrow, the empty well?
Hollow and useless
Consume to the inside
Something I will not hide

My love wills on
My comrade in tragedy
This is the best
It will ever be
Think of the things
That will never be

Your image is burnt
You are dead
You are nothing
Yes, I love you



3. Love Murder

Where are you going?
I want to know
Where are you going?
I want to know

    Please give your life
    To me
    I�d take your life
    From you
White roses cover
Your head, hands and heart
White roses cover
Your head, hands and heart
    Please give your love
    To me
    I�d give my life
    For you
How can such beauty
Be torn by flesh?
How can such beauty
Be torn by flesh?

Please give your life to me
I�d give my love for you



4. Zimmerit

    Take me in your arms
    Float with me
    Die with me
    Smother me with your Blood
    Bind me with that Sun
We stroked the heads of Angels
And smiled to clip their wings

This Birth of Rage
Another book � a Bloody page
To turn again
Still, falling Tears
Our memories lost
Throughout these years

    Take me in your arms
    Float with me
    Die with me
    Smother me with your Blood
    And blind me with your silence��



5. We are the Lust
By: Douglas P and John Balance (Coil)

Hold a knife, blooded
To the throat of Love
Hold the knife, blooded
To the throat of Love
Hold a bloodied knife
To the throat of Love

    We are The Lust
    That comes from Nothing
We are The Lust
As they turn to Dust
As they ground to Dust
A crown of Tears
We are The Lust
    We are The Lust
    That comes from Nothing



6. To Drown a Rose
Vocals: Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade and Sorrow)

Hide from the Sun
Life, an icy tear
Rivers of Blood
Serenade my lungs

    To drown a Rose � To drown a Rose
Will he hold my soul
Will he tear my Heart
Will he � Will he
Will he rip me apart?
    To drown a Rose � To drown a Rose
Decay of Belief
And the highest doubts
We spill our Blood
Too late to shout

How we burn
Why keep scum from knowing?
32 creases
Shots in the dark
A Flame across the sea
We�re going down in History

To drown a Rose
To share a Dream
This sickness of Death
In your eyes � in your schemes

    To drown a Rose � To drown a Rose
Like a crystal tear
I wait to betray
The lie across the sea
My Hate is Love to me
    To drown a Rose � To drown a Rose
A shot in the dark
Perfumed and sweaty
Why do we mourn
Neutered and muddy?
    To drown a Rose�������.



7. Break the Black Ice
By: David Tibet (Current 93)
Vocals: Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade and Sorrow)

Time for sleep
Time for prayers
Time for dusk
Dust in eyes
Grinning jaws
Grit in teeth
All things pass
Death and deeds

    Break the black ice
In this earth
In this town
In this land
In this hour
In this time
For this age
In this flesh
In this joining
    Break the black ice
To this spasm
In this jerk
In this cry
A little death
For this boy
Little screams
A little blood
A tattooed rune
    Break the black ice
In this kiss�not yours not mine
In this curse�not yours not mine
In this kiss�not yours not mine
In this curse�not yours not mine



8. Behind the Rose (Fields of Rape)
By: David Tibet (Current 93)

See Track 10 of NADA! (1985)



9. Punishment Initiation
Vocals by: David Tibet (Current 93)

One is the Axis
Anonymous in Glory
Love is now Empty
And Incomplete

Strike at the Heart of Hope
Where Panic stirs the Will
We hear Dog�s Blessing
This sleepless night�s Torture
We Pray for its Ending
We push for the Slaughter
Of a Broken Faith missing
Of a passing Love Dying
We start afresh
For Love and for Death

One is the Axis
Anonymous in Glory
Love is now Empty
Forever, Incomplete



10. Rocking Horse Night
By: David Tibet (Current 93)

11. Break the Black Ice (Instrumental)
By: David Tibet (Current 93)

Instrumental



12. Runes and Men

With your hair of Flaming Roses
Your Kiss � Medusa�s touch
Turn me to a pillar of salt
To Die now would be perfection

Then my loneliness closes in
So, I drink a German wine
And drift in Dreams of other Lives
And Greater Times

White sheets wrap my mind
In drunken thoughts of Runes and Men
Why does the Devil leaves for us
This legacy of Loneliness

This Cry for the Moon
And a Dagger�s thrust
With your hair of Flaming Blooms
And your eyes of Saintly Dusk

Then my loneliness closes in
So, I drink a German wine
And drift in Dreams of other Lives
And Greater Times����.



13. Rule Again
By: David Tibet (Current 93)

See Track 6 of The World that Summer (1986)



14. Hail! The White Grain

Fear is a Token
And, in this Darkness
It never rests
My body is Barren
A horse for a Hero
The Sun fails to Burn
Hail! The White Grain
This Life, This Pain

His ship never sails
And my Nights never End
His heart never Falls
But, my Tears never Bleed
His lips never lie
My eyes never Pray
His faith never falters
My doubt never stays
His Love never Slaughters
My tongue never needs
My Hope and its Angels
Our Death and our Deeds
My Hope and its Angels
Our Death and our Deeds������



15. Blood of Winter

In the blood of winter
You may crush my soul
For we can fall no further
The world is hell

We were born to suffer
And glory in our pain
Each dream has jaws to crush us
Again and again

Embrace his blood
The death�s head
When love lies torn and raped
Submissive and rejected
Burn the hand of fate

In the blood of winter
You may crush my soul
For we can fall no further
The world is hell



16. The Fog of the World

I�d like to be one
Who makes Mothers cry
I�d like to be the one
Who makes Mothers weep

And wander in the Dawns and Dew
And Wander in the Dawns and Dew
And in the lanes and lawns
And in the lanes and lawns

His muscular build
His brown hair cropped close
Brave me and tame me
Brave me and tame me

Here in the Fog of the World
Here in the Fog of the World
But, what can be Born?
But, what can be Born?
But, what can be Born������.



17. Europa: The Gates of Heaven

Hold a Bloodied knife
To the throat of Love
Embrace this waste
With white Love � Incite!
Our Pyres Burning
And our tongues filled with lies
To speak the Truth
Dead of all Belief?
No! Seek and Fear
This Final Tear.

    Europa: The Gates of Heaven
    Europa: The Gates of Hell
Your only Hope
A Life charmed black
An empty grin
For we cannot turn back
A seeking Silence
And a creeping Lust
The Pork-Men Crackle
As they turn to dust
    Europa: The Gates of Heaven
    Europa: The Gates of Hell
No gnawing teeth
Are to be found here
So laugh and hide
From White Love
And White Fear�..

We are The Lust
That comes from Nothing.



18. Come Before Christ and Murder Love

Drown me with your sorrow
Taint me with your treason
To find your God is hollow
Brings death to all reason

Wolf grey adonis
A cruel life dawns
Curse me with obsessiveness
Futility and scorn

    Moved to speak?
    You made your choice
    We had our chance
    And lost our voice
Your alleyway, your terror
Glistens with despair
Dead meat and error
The only crown I�ll wear

From the ashes of liars
Grow the flowers of hope
From the steeples and spires
Hang each tear from a rope

    Moved to speak?
    You made your choice
    We had our chance
    And lost our voice.
