DEPECHE MODE - SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION (1993)
1. I FEEL YOU
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
This
is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
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
This
is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I
feel you
Your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you
Your
rising sun
My kingdom comes
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
This
is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

WALKING IN MY SHOES
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
3.CONDEMNATION
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
If
for honesty
You want apologies
I don't sympathize
If for
kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
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
If
you see purity
As immaturity
Well it's no surprise
If for
kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
4.
MERCY IN YOU
You
know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A
longing to feed
On the mercy in you
I
can't conceal
The way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel
When I
have to deal
With the mercy in you
I
would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I
could call again
On the mercy in you
When
here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I
have faith I will find
The mercy in you
I
would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so
I could pray again
For the mercy in you
When
here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have
faith I will find
The mercy in you
5.
JUDAS
Is
simplicity best
Or simply the easiest
The narrowest path
Is
always the holiest
So walk on barefoot for me
Suffer some
misery
If you want my love
If you want my love
Man
will survive
The harshest conditions
And stay alive
Through
difficult decisions
So make up your mind for me
Walk the line
for me
If you want my love
If you want my love
Idle
talk
And hollow promises
Cheating Judases
Doubting
Thomases
Don't just stand there and shout it
Do something about
it
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
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my
love
If you want my love
6.
IN YOUR ROOM
In
your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
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
In
your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here
Will you
lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here
Your favourite
innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile
Your
favourite slave
I'm
hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your
skin
Will I always be here
In
your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
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
I'm
hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your
skin
Will I always be here
Will I always be here
7.
GET RIGHT WITH ME
I
will have faith in man
That is hard to understand
Show some
humility
You have the ability
Get right with me
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
Get
right with me
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
People,
take my advice
Already told you once, once or twice
Don't waste
your energy
Making apologies
Get right with me
8.
RUSH
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
Open
your sensitive mouth
Hold out your delicate hands
With such a
sensitive mouth
I'm easy to see through
When I come up
When
I rush
I rush for you
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
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
When I come up
When I
rush
I rush for you
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
When I come
up
When I rush
I rush for you
9.
ONE CARRES
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
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
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
I'm
shying from the light
I always loved the night
And now you
offer me eternal darkness
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
10.
HIGHER LOVE
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
Moved,
lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love
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
Moved,
lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love
Heaven
bound on the wings of love
There's so much that you can rise above
Moved,
lifted higher
Moved, moved, by a higher love
By a higher love
I
surrender heart and soul
Sacrificed to a higher goal
Moved,
moved by a higher love
By a higher love
11.
MY JOY
My
joy
The air that I breathe
My joy
In God I believe
My
joy
You move me
My
joy
The blood in my veins
My joy
Flows in your
name
My joy
You move me
I'm
not a mountain,no
You move me
My
joy
Heavenly bliss
My joy
The pleasures I've missed
My
joy
You move me
I'm
not a mountain,no
You move me
12.
DEATH´S DOOR
Well
I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest
Among the
blessed
Mother are you waiting
Father are you pacing
I'm
coming home
I'm
knocking on Death's door
Come to take my rest
In my sunday
best
Mother are you anxious
Father are you gracious
I'm
coming home
I've
been away so long
For so long it was strong
I've been away so
long
I know that it was wrong
But I'm coming home
Well
I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest
Have I passed
the test
Mother are you praying
Father I'm saying
I'm coming
home
