Temple of Love

Otro de mis clásicos de adolescencia, Temple of Love de Sisters of Mercy. Dicen que estos fueron los órigenes de lo que luego fue la música gótica (no sé si habrá algo de verdad)...

La voz femenina que le da ese contraste étnico a lo industrial del tema es la israelí Ofra Haza, tristemente desaparecida, y famosa en su momento por el tema Im Nin'Alu.

Temple of Love,
A Slight Case of Overbombing (The Sisters of Mercy)

 

With the fire from the fireworks up above me / With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand / You run for cover in the temple of love / You run for another but still the same / For the wind will blow my name across this land

In the temple of love you hide together / Believing pain and fear outside / But someone near you rides the weather / And the tears he cried will rain on walls / As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love: shine like thunder / In the temple of love: cry like rain / In the temple of love: hear my calling / In the temple of love: hear my name

And the devil in black dress watches over / My guardian angel walks away / Life is short and love is always over in the morning / Black wind come carry me far away

With the sunlight died and night above me / With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside / You run for cover in the temple of love / You run for another its all the same / For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above / With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain / You run for cover in the temple of love / I shine like thunder cry like rain / And the temple grows old and strong / But the wind blows longer cold and long / And the temple of love will fall before / This black wind calls my name to you no more

In the black sky thunder sweeping / Underground and over water / Sounds of crying weeping will not save / Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar / All your prayers must seem as nothing / Ninety-six below the wave / When stone is dust and only air remains

In the temple of love: shine like thunder / In the temple of love: cry like rain / In the temple of love: hear the calling / And the temple of love is falling / Down

In the temple of love: shine like thunder / In the temple of love: cry like rain / In the temple of love: hear my calling / In the temple of love: hear my name

In the black sky thunder sweeping / Underground and over water / Sounds of crying weeping will not save / Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar / All your prayers must seem as nothing / Ninety-six below the wave / When stone is dust and only air remains / The only haven you can trust

And the devil in black dress watches over / My guardian angel walks away / Life is short and love is always over in the morning / Black wind come carry me far away

With the fire from the fireworks up above / With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain you

You run for cover in the temple of love / I shine like thunder cry like rain / And the temple grows old and strong / But the wind blows longer cold and long / And the temple of love will fall before / This black wind calls my name to you no more

In the temple of love you hide together / Believing pain and fear outside / But someone near you rides the weather / And the tears he cried will rain on walls / As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love: shine like thunder / In the temple of love: cry like rain / In the temple of love: hear my calling / And the temple of love is falling / Down
