Lyrics
These streets are strange
Like some cradlesong..
I cant recall
And yet I’ve known it all along?I
held the hand I wanted to crush
Now I understand
To live for the rush
O The Hallowing Touch
Hauling me up
Touching the part of me thats God
In thrall again
Times I felt, would I be missed?
But I never had the faith to be an atheist
Upon my lips the dawn did break
I gave everything that I would take
O The Hallowing Touch
Hauling me up
Touching the part of me thats God
In thrall again
All the dirt
And the dead sex
All the pain and the emptiness
I put to the flame
Swept away?I just say my mantra – her name
It burns without
It burns within
Brighter than the sun
Darker than the lure of sin
The lure of sin..
O The Hallowing Touch
Hauling me up
Touching the part of me thats God
In thrall again
