algiers

Singer:afghan whigs, the

faith

the diamond in the chain

still i was a slave

waiting to be saved

dream

the body sleeps but i

am not too proud to roam

on the back streets

it's oh

so simple when you know

you'll know this when it's time to go

stray

and soon you'll leave behind

the loneliness you've sown

paradise leans

scream

the body leaves the bone

to sit upon the throne

the battle waged for light

dream

dream your sins away

sin your dreams away

you're holding back

stop holding back

unchain!

say you'll love me tonight

save your love for me tonight

and i feel you now

lie awake and love drunk

i feel you now

heavenly daemons outside my window

sent here to see me outside this world

i call the shadow

you call the season

and that's solitary
