Pain Of Salvation - Beyond The Pale LYRICS

And SEX was always there from when I was only eight years - tempting me leave thirsty

Sweat, skin, a PULSE divine to balance this restless MIND - it seems so wonderfully physical

Oh the BLOOD, the lust, the bodies that color the world: all drugs to die for! Won't you share my fire?

How can LOVE make that world a minefield of forbidden GROUND?

A map of untouchable skin and SILENCED desire?



And love was there in vain, PROFOUND and deep but traced with pain - too early for a child of TEN

Loving the pure and sane he sought the goddess unstained - watching them turn to flesh again

HUNGRY for both the PURITY and SIN

Life seemed to him merely like a GALLERY of how to be

And he was always much HUMAN than he wished to be

But there is a LOGIC to his world, if they could only see



Wishing - Sickened - I'll - Ticking



SOMEONE still this hunger (it's in my blood) always growing stronger (ticking)

BUDAPEST I'm learning, Budapest you're burning me



This is not who I wanted to be, this is not what I wanted to see

She's so young so why don't I feel free now that she is here under me?



Naked- Touching - Soft - Clutching



And then after all it lead me here to wake up again

Seeking a love that might make me feel free in myself but then it proves to be

Something that hurts inside when we touch, so I move on, I lose my way

Astray I'm trying too much to feel unchained, to burn out this sense of feeling cold

And every day I seek my prey: someone to taste and to hold

I feel alive during the split second when they smile and meet my eyes

But I could cry 'cause I feel broken inside!

COME and DROWN with me- the UNDERTOW will sweep us away!

And you will see that I'm ADDICTED to my HONESTY

Trust! 'Cause after all my sense of TRUTH once crought me here

But I've LOST control and I don't know if I am true to my soul

I've lost CONTROL and I don't know if I am true to my soul

Losing control and I don't know if I am TRUE AT ALL



[Johan Hallgren]

[Daniel Gildenlow]



And we were always much more human than we wished to be...

And I remember when you said you've been UNDER him - I was suprised to feel such pain

And all those years of being faithful to YOU despite the hunger flowing through my veins

And I have always tried to calm things down - SWALLOW down swallow down

"It's just another small THORN in my crown"

But suddenly one day there was too much blood in my eyes, and I had to take this WALK down

REMEDY LANE of whens and whys...



Empty - Licking - Clean - Choking



SOMEONE still hunger (possessing my mind) always growing stronger (craving)

BUDAPEST I'm learning, Budapest I'm burning me

This is not who I wanted to be, this is not what I wanted to see

She's so young so why I don't feel free now that she's under me?

In the morning she's going away in a Budapest taxi I've paid

Seeking freedom I touched the untouched - it's too much - I'm BEYOND THE PALE...



Prematurity is the story of both you and me, and we were always much more human than we wished to be

Prematurity is truly the story of both you and me, and we were always much more human than we wished to be

We were always much more human than we wished to be - we were always much more human than we wished to be

We will always be much more human than we wish to be



WE WILL ALWAYS MUCH MORE HUMAN TAHN WE WISH TO BE...
