Sisters Of Mercy - Dance On Glass lyrics

rate me

Roll of the thunder

Kiss and the scream

Hold out my arms and scars start to show

Howling for the glory of the innocent

But don't despair for the shame I know

The taste of ash on my tongue

Faith and prayers, wanton dust

Chanting strangers, blood on their cheeks

Haunt my dreams all covered in blood

Dance

Dance on glass

Saints and martyrs

Dance

Dance on glass

Saints and martyrs

Tarnish, taint and punish me softly

Cut that bleeds and burning skin

Screaming in the darkness torn and ragged

For the love of god, my dreams look dim

So...

Dance

Dance on glass

Saints and martyrs

A whisper and a promise lit on fire

Kiss the hand where the angels dread

Love is the corpse that draws on dreams

Rips them apart and tears them to shreds

So...

Dance

Dance on glass

Saints and martyrs

Tarnish, taint, and punish me softly

Hold out the heat and burning skin

Screaming in the darkness torn and ragged

For the love of god, my dreams look dim

A whisper and a promise lit on fire

Kiss the hands where the angels dread

Love is the corpse that draws on dreams

Rips them apart and tears them to shreds

So...

Dance

Dance on glass

Saints and martyrs

Dance,

Dance on glass
