1. The Messenger 

Got a letter from a messenger 

I read it when it came 

It said that you were wounded, 

you were bound and chained 

You had loved and you were handled 

You were poisoned, you were pained 

oh no, oh no - 

you were naked, you were shamed 

You could almost touch heaven 

right there in front of you 

liberty just slipped away on us 

now there's so much work to do 

Oh the door that closes tightly 

is the door that can swing wide 

oh no, oh no - 

Not expecting to collide 

For a minute I let my guard down 

not afraid to be found out 

Completely forgotten 

what our fears were all about 

oh no, oh no - 

There's no need to be without 

There's a chance and I will take it 

this desire I can't kill 

Take my heart, please don't break it 

I will crawl to your foothill 

I'm frightened but I'm coming, 

please baby, please lay still 

oh no, oh no - 

Not coming for the kill 

oh no, oh no - 

Not coming for the kill 

oh no, oh no - 

Not coming for the kill
