Gary Numan - Exile lyrics

rate me

I heard it in my sleep A voice more dead than old I thought I'd known the fear But then it touched my soul and said: "You will pray for me Bow your head to me." It came for me at night And took me dream by dream To where everything is dark And no-one hears you scream Took everything I loved And turned love into pain It said "I'm the prophecy And I'll make you believe in me." "Sacrifice for me Be humility." It said: "I'll make everyone pay I'll make everyone pay Some things you can't forget I'll make everyone pay Some things you can't forgive I'll make everyone pay." "And so it comes to this Death or eternity? Or would you like to pay For all humanity? Do you believe in faith? Than choose. Heaven or Hell or me? A shadow on the sane The final treachery of God." "You will kneel for me Lose your eyes for me." "Betray the world for me Burn your soul for me." It said: "I'll make everyone pay I'll make everyone pay Some things you can't forget I'll make everyone pay Some things you can't forgive I'll make everyone pay."
