Gary Numan - Exile lyrics

[Gary Numan - Exile lyrics]

I heard it in my sleep
A voice more dead than old
I thought I'd known the fear
But then it touched my soul and said:

"You will pray for me bow your head to me"

It came for me at night
And took me dream by dream
Where everything is dark
And no-one hears you scream
Took everything I loved
And turned love into pain
It said "I'm the prophecy
And I'll make you believe in me"

"Sacrifice for me be humility"

It said: "I'll make everyone pay"
It said: "I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forget
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forgive
I'll make everyone pay"

And so it comes to this death or eternity?
Or would you like to pay for all humanity?
Do you believe in faith?
Then choose: Heaven or Hell or me?
A shadow on the sane
The final treachery of God

"You will kneel for me
Close your eyes for me"

"Betray the world for me
Burn your soul for me"

It said: "I'll make everyone pay"
It said: "I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forget
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forgive
I'll make everyone pay"
