Obey (Tribute to Depeche Mode)

I walked alone through mirrored lies Each step a prayer I can't deny The air was thick with silent blame And I obeyed without the flame I wore the chains you couldn't see You blessed my guilt, then worshipped me The silence spoke in tongues of stone I never felt so much alone And I obey, I always do To every sin that carries you No heaven waits, no truth to find Just your command burned in my mind You lit the fuse behind my eyes You crowned my fall with lullabies I bent the rules, I broke the vow But I am yours and still somehow I obey, I kneel and serve A dog of faith with shattered nerve No angels left, no more disguise Just holy scars beneath your lies There’s beauty in this slow decay A ritual I can’t betray I feel your breath like static fire I feed the pain you still require And I obey, down to the bone A sacred wound you call your own Your voice, my law my soul, your prey There is no light. And still I stay. There’s beauty in this slow decay A ritual I can’t betray I feel your breath like static fire I feed the pain you still require And I obey, down to the bone A sacred wound you call your own Your voice, my law my soul, your prey There is no light. And still I stay.
