Wuthering Heights - Demon Desire lyrics

The beast that lurks in my genes Is controlling my will In endless search of the ultimate carnal thrill Like a knight without an armour I ride out to face the two backed beast Naked in the face of horror A jester at this undercover feast Desire fills my heart with guilt and pain As my burning blood from my mind is drained Demon desire; you lead. I drag behind Demon desire; leave my fragile mind How can I be at peace When my blood is on fire Don't want to be your slave Demon desire I can never fight my nature I am he - the pleasant primitive Or so the queens of lust they see me But myself is all I have to give Desire fills my heart with guilt and pain As my burning blood from my mind is drained Demon desire; you lead. I drag behind Demon desire; leave my fragile mind How can I be at peace When my blood is on fire Don't want to be your slave Demon desire Curse this world That gives urges but no breeding grounds How shall I see the sun Behind desire's brooding clouds I cannot fight my nature The pleasant primitive O, let me live... All my years and all my gold It takes to ease the demon All my years and all my gold To keep the beast at bay Could I only put away my bow When no prey in sight But now I'll leave my mind behind For another hungry quest into the night Demon desire; you lead. I drag behind Demon desire; leave my fragile mind How can I be at peace When my blood is on fire Don't want to be your slave Demon desire
