Moonspell - Hermitage [The Best Gothic Metal Album]

Lyrics to Hermitage [The Best Gothic Metal Album] by Moonspell

Tracklist: 01. The Greater Good How about we go in search of newland Where there's no pleasure or pain How about we go and found a new state Wherefrom we cannot escape How about no neighbours and no friends No anthem, no government What about no leaders and no nations No birds of prey up in the air How about we go in search of newland Where there's no purpose or aim How about we go and find a new road Why must we live so afraid We know that we won't find the cure to cancer To ignorance How about no thoughts and no prayers No right or wrong, no good or bad Will we get to live and see the new day What have we done, we ran out of space What to do if someone's taken over Our fortune and fame We know that many others might have made it We know the cost, the price to pay We're nothing but the sand that fills the cracks A soul in denial, a body ashamed All around the world and the seven seas Crowds of people keep closing in Oh! when to hold, when to let go The greater good not good enough For all of us All around the world and the seven seas Crowds of people keep closing in Oh! when to hold, when to let go The greater good not good enough For all of us All of us 02. Common Prayers So close to me, as tight as you can be Inside the cell The voice within, the desert wind Calls out our name So close, so close So, let me be and keep you company Inside the gate Behind the veil, the quarantine Against myself So strong, so strong You are a common prayer Living life afraid You have the heart of a saint And an angel's face Say the common prayers So, lock the door, I'll keep the key Upon my chest The time has come to born again And test our faith Just let me in the sanctuary Inside the grave The broken beads, the rosary Against our will You are a common prayer Living life afraid You have the heart of a saint And an angel's face You are a common prayer Living life afraid You have the heart of a saint And an angel's face Say the common prayers 03. All Or Nothing The signs are here, the end is near A lot to think about Walk through the door, that will be all We're closing, closing down Come on and let us go, all hope is gone Life is a feast, all you can eat Every night and day Our job is done, we brought you joy Every now and then Inside the wheel another turn Around, around the sun Pick up the bill, it's time to go We're leaving, leaving town Move on and let us go, all hope is lost Our job is done, we brought you joy Every now and then Buy the time Oh, clear the space It's all or nothing Buy the time Oh, clear the space It's all or nothing It's now or never Buy the time Oh, clear the space It's all or nothing It's all or nothing Life is a game you cannot win You just have to play Our job is done, we brought you joy Every now and then Buy the time Oh, clear the space It's all or nothing Buy the time Oh, clear the space It's all or nothing It's now or never 04. Hermitage In the circle of life and sin On this day of apocalypse On our way to hermitage It's the return to innocence At the mercy of time and space On this day we must repent On our way to hermitage We observe the sacrifice Raise your hands up to the skies On we march to hermitage Empty hands, hollow eyes On we march to hermitage In the circle of life and sin On this day of apocalypse On our way to hermitage It's the return to innocence A bloody feather In the red lion's mane The olive branch in the eagle's beak Raise your hands up to the skies On we march to hermitage Empty hands, hollow eyes On we march to hermitage 05. Entitlement One thing's for sure, for everyone One thing's for sure, whatever may Such big machines that man have made To darken the clouds and control the rain All our worth, giveth away All our worth amounts to nothing Every word, all we say All our words they count for nothing No new positions to greet the sun No magic rides on a yoga mat No time to cry, to make things right It's human nature, don't be afraid All our worth, giveth away All our worth amounts to nothing Every word, all we say All our words they count for nothing All our worth, giveth away All our worth amounts to nothing All our worth, giveth away All our worth amounts to nothing Every word, all we say All our words they count for nothing All our words they count for nothing 06. Solitarian [Instrumental] 07. The Hermit Saints Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary Pray for death, pray for ecstasy Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail Lock the gates behind the hermit saints Oh, hear them call, from hell on earth Oh, hear them call, from nature's dome From far beyond, oh hear them call Oh, hear them Oh, hear them Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary Pray for death, pray for ecstasy Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail Lock the gates behind the hermit saints Silence is broken, the knot is too tight The desert compels me to do what is right Silence is broken, the knot is too tight The desert compels me to do what is right Oh, hear them call, from skies above From down below, oh hear them call Oh, hear them Silence is broken, the knot is too tight The desert compels me to do what is right Silence is broken, the knot is too tight The desert compels me to do what is right Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary Pray for death, pray for ecstasy Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail Lock the gates behind the hermit saints Oh, hear them call! Behold the hermit saints Oh, hear them call! 08. Apophthegmata The future's so near Away from the past Time to let it happen The torch in your hand The desert's so vast That you must find your place To hide from the crowds Find peace without end A house with no windows No light breaking in A house built just for one Away from the sun Hear the word Oh! Let it burn Take me home and hold me as we fall Keep me safe from harm So long ago, not far away Upon an altar of dirt Oh! Hear the voices! Let them burn! There's nothing new under the sun All that he built, his kingdom of truth Watch it turn to dust His masterwork So long ago, not far away Upon an altar of dirt Oh! Hear the voices! Let them burn! There's nothing new under the sun Apophthegmata 09. Without Rule At the speed of light, we move away At the speed of light, we move away When all the world has gone insane At the speed of light, we move away When all the world has gone insane The men, the beasts, every living thing At the top of the trees, at the bottom of the pyramid A face in the crowd, trying to exist We paid too much significance to things We paid too much, we paid too much We spread enough intolerance it seems We said enough, we had enough We had enough, we had enough Now that everything has lost its taste The food, the water hanging by a thread We had our chance, but gave in too easily Under the sun, trying to resist To resist, to resist To resist... We paid too much significance to things We paid too much, we paid too much We spread enough intolerance it seems We said enough, we had enough At the speed of light, we move away When all the world has gone insane Never too close, never too far Without rule we are Never too close, never too far Without rule, without rule we are Never too close, never too far Without rule we are Never too close, never too far Without rule, without rule we are 10.
