Album • 1986
Stumbling in darkness A lonely generation Striving to pull out Into the light Searching Searching but not ending In more distress A hell of anxiety This is the grave The grave new world This is the grave The grave new world Old is the wound Showing no sign No sign of healing Stirring up bitter feelings Reviving fear Reviving despair On and on it goes Outlasting many a prayer Welcome to the grave new world Of fear twisted hearts Broken minds and souls Sad and hungry faces Broken minds and souls Madness and machines Fear twisted hearts

Speed the day Peace and love arise From the darkness Dread and drear From the pit This pit of hate For this day strive For this day strive Go on loving On and on Go on loving On and on In love believing In love believe Keep the candle burning Maybe one day We'll see things the same Don't be afraid No don't be afraid Afraid to care Open wide The door to your heart Extend the kind arm of infinity All over the human The human sphere Release Release our troubled hearts And grant our children Our children peace

Too long, too long Far too Long We've sailed the ship This ship of woe It's time to pull together Pull together To bring the ship This ship ashore Dry, dry, dry, dry all your tears Dry your tears Arm your Arm your fears In laughter, in anger For better or worse Join me when the adverse wind comes Only these chains do we have to lose Come my friend add your voice to Voice to this Too long, too long Far Too Long As your anger remained bottled up inside It's your time for the cork Cork to be drawn Come my friend add your voice to Voice to this

Though grief and And the cruelest of winds Loss must blow across Pain deadens and tears dry With the passage of time Though all must suffer loss and grief Time is kind and brings relief Though all must suffer loss and grief Time is kind Time is kind At first hearts break And sorrow numbs No words console No comfort comes But time is kind And life'll shine Life'll shine through Shine on through

They laid their practised hands on him Bruised and broke his skin Bruised and broke his skin Attacking big brother with rhyme Rhyme was, is crime A moment, moment Moment only We dare, we dare We dare, we dare Speak a moment Speak a moment A moment only Dare we speak Armed with an explosive mind Words more deadly than bullets it seems A terrorist of the most vicious kind Armed with an explosive mind In the dead of night came creeping The snakes of harm to root Leaping to, to the charmer's flute Dragged him screaming from his bed Dragged him screaming from behind closed doors

Sleep in hope In hope of this A land where thought Is as free as the sun Where the altars of sheer power And mere profit have fallen Fallen to disuse Fallen to disuse So my friend Sleep in hope In hope of this In hope of this And may your willpower tower And your heart be strong And may your willpower tower Willpower tower A land where peace and love Reign above Hate and war Where no greed or creed do the people Do the people heed So sleep in hope But your hope must wake While your choice is yours Yours to make

Mother, dear mother It's cold tonight Like every other Every other night But I never feel Feel it anyway I'm gonna need something Something soon I can feel it Feel it begin But I don't know How I'm gonna pay It must be about Mid-December right now And I think I'm about Seventeen I'm not really sure How old I feel I lost my thoughts In some dream Oh mother, I don't Know how I got where I am But I'll try to explain anyhow See, gradually You get sucked in Into it Without ever really Realising Just what's happening And that is when The downward spiral begins (These lyrics appear on the album to further explain the song, but are not actually sung) - Anyway back to how it all started It started with dope Why not after all, it was just the once, I told myself I didn't even like it very much But the people I was with all did it Then I tried speed Why not after all, it was just the once, I told myself The next thing I knew I was doing a couple grams of smack a week Then a friend introduced me to smack Chasing the dragon Why not after all, it was just the once, I told myself Why not after all, it wasn't using a needle Then I started doing what I thought I'd never do You guessed it mother -
