I feel you
Walking in my shoes
Condemnation
Mercy in you
Judas
In your room
Get right with me
Rush
One caress
Higher love
I feel you
[Verse 1]
I feel you, your sun it shines
I feel you within my mind
You take me there, you take me where the kingdom comes
You take me to and lead me through Babylon

[Chorus]
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

[Verse 2]
I feel you, your heart it sings
I feel you, the joy it brings
Where heaven waits, those golden gates and back again
You take me to and lead me through oblivion

[Chorus]
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

[Verse 3]
I feel you, your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you, your rising sun
My kingdom comes

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
I feel you, each move you make
I feel you, each breath you take
Where angels sing and spread their wings, my love's on high
You take me home, to glory's throne, by and by

[Chorus]
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

Walking in my shoes
[Verse 1]
I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

[Chorus]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

[Verse 2]
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

[Chorus]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

[Chorus]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Condemnation
[Verse 1]
Condemnation, tried
Here on the stand with the book in my hand
And truth on my side
Accusations, lies
Hand me my sentence, I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride

[Chorus]
If for honesty you want apologies
I don't sympathise
If for kindness you substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

[Verse 2]
Condemnation, why?
Because my duty was always to beauty
And that was my crime
Feel elation, high
To know I can trust this fix of injustice
Time after time

[Chorus]
If you see purity as immaturity
Well, it's no surprise
If for kindness you substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

Mercy in you
[Verse 1]
You know what I need when my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed, a longing to feed
On the mercy in you

[Verse 2]
I can't conceal the way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel when I have to deal
With the mercy in you

[Chorus]
I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you, the mercy in you

[Verse 3]
When here in my mind I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind, I have faith I will find
The mercy in you

[Chorus]
I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you

[Verse 4]
When here in my mind I have been blind
Emotionally behind, I have faith I will find
The mercy in you, the mercy in you
The mercy in you, the mercy in you

Judas
[Verse 1]
Is simplicity best
Or simply the easiest?
The narrowest path
Is always the holiest
So walk on barefoot for me
Suffer some misery

[Chorus]
If you want my love
If you want my love

[Verse 2]
Man will survive
The harshest conditions
And stay alive
Through difficult decisions
So make up your mind for me
Walk the line for me

[Chorus]
If you want my love
If you want my love

[Bridge]
Idle talk and hollow promises
Cheating Judases, doubting Thomases
Don't just stand there and shout it
Do something about it

[Verse 3]
You can fulfill
Your wildest ambitions
And I'm sure you will
Lose your inhibitions
So open yourself for me
Risk your health for me

[Chorus]
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
(If you want my love)
(If you want my love)
(If you want my love)
(If you want my love)
(If you want my love)

In your room
[Verse 1]
In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here?
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here?
Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile
Your favourite slave

[Chorus]
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here?
Your favourite passion
Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror
Your favourite slave

[Chorus]
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

Get right with me
[Verse 1]
I will have faith in man
That is hard to understand
Show some humility
You have the ability

[Chorus]
Get right with me

[Verse 2]
Friends, if you've lost your way
You will find it again some day
Come down from your pedestals
And open your mouths that's all

[Chorus]
Get right with me

[Bridge]
Life is such a short thing
That I cannot comprehend
But if this life were a bought thing
There are ways I know we'd mend

[Verse 3]
People, take my advice
Already told you once, once or twice
Don't waste your energy
Making apologies

[Chorus]
Get right with me

Rush
[Verse 1]
Walk with me
Open your sensitive mouth and talk to me
Hold out your delicate hands and feel me
Couldn't make any plans to conceal me

[Pre-Chorus]
Open your sensitive mouth
Hold out your delicate hands
With such a sensitive mouth
I'm easy to see through

[Chorus]
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you

[Verse 2]
Cry for you
Seen the tears roll down from my eyes for you
Heard my truth distorted to lies for you
Watched my love becoming a prize for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Seen the tears in my eyes
Heard my truth turn to lies
Seen the tears in my eyes
I'm not proud of what I do

[Chorus]
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you

[Bridge]
I come up to meet you
Up there somewhere
When I rush to greet you
My soul is bared
Gave more for you
Dropped my crutches and crawled on the floor for you
Went looking behind every door for you
And because of the things that I saw for you
I spiritually grew

[Chorus]
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you

[Outro]
Rush for you
I rush for you
I rush for you
I rush for you

One caress
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm down on my knees again
And I pray to the only one
Who has the strength to bear the pain
To forgive all the things that I've done

[Chorus]
Oh, girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed

[Verse 2]
When you think you've tried every road
Every avenue
Take one more look at what you found old
And in it, you'll find something new

[Chorus]
Oh, girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed

[Bridge]
I'm shying from the light
I always loved the night
And now you offer me
Eternal darkness

[Verse 3]
I have to believe that sin
Can make a better man
It's the mood that I am in
That's left us back where we began

[Chorus]
Oh, girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed
Oh, girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed

Higher love
[Verse 1]
I can taste more than feel
This burning inside is so real
I can almost lay my hands upon
The warm glow that lingers on

[Chorus]
Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love

[Verse 2]
I surrender all control
To the desire that consumes me whole
And leads me by the hand to infinity
That lies in wait at the heart of me

[Chorus]
Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love
By a higher love

[Post-Chorus]
Heaven bound on the wings of love
There's so much that you can rise above

[Chorus]
Moved, lifted higher
Moved, moved by a higher love
By a higher love

[Post-Chorus]
I surrender heart and soul
Sacrificed to a higher goal

[Outro]
Moved, moved by a higher love
By a higher love, by a higher love
By a higher love, by a higher love
By a higher love, by a higher love
By a higher love
Higher love, higher love
