The Healing [Live, Biskuithalle, Bonn, April 12, 1998]

These are just words from the void of wanting
Externalised in melody and chanting

I want to be where darkness dwells
A place in the city where night-time swells
And spills itself over to the break of day
With only eyes and hands to feel my way

Take me to a place where darkness swells
The pain to a point where it can't be held
Burst and break it and let it all spill
Through the dark city night where angels will

I'm close enough to smell the drink on your breath
Be under your skin being fully dressed
To give and give and give 'til there's nothing left
Take and take and take 'til you've all you need

Take me to a place where darkness swells
The pain to a point where it can't be held
Burst and break it and let it all spill
Through the dark city night where angels will
In the guise of strangers
Lead me back
Let me heal

Until I feel you touch me I can't dissolve
Make water of my heart, make powder of my bones
There's more pain here than I can keep inside me
No place I know where it can't find me

Take me to a place where darkness swells
The pain to a point where it can't be held
Burst and break it and let it all spill
Through the dark city night where angels will

Take and take and take me 'til I start to bleed
Take me out of myself and set me free
Free from the hurt to be absolved
Until I feel you touch me I can't let go

Take me to a place where darkness swells
The pain to a point where it can't be held
Burst and break it and let it all spill
Through the dark city night where angels will
In the guise of strangers
Lead me back
Let me heal.
