Scale Lyrics by Skids

Scared to Dance

1979

Enemy of your regime
Enemy of your own scheme
Enemy of your state
Enemy of your own hate

Reflecting glaze of your own love
Symbol of peace — the white, white dove

Rescued from a clouded sky
Rescued as a man to die
Rescued from eternal fate
Rescued as a man too late

Artistic glance of your own trance
Symbol of peace — the white romance

Daring not to deliver
Daring only to consider
Daring not to take a lover
Daring just to have a mother

Restricting glare of blazing glass
Symbol of peace — the catholic mass

Remaining part — of the unchilled cold
Still life the untold story (what’s it mean?)
Of the kingdom of glory

Death was only sleep
Death held no pain
Death was gentle
Death was release
Death was in me
Death was part
Life was all awake
Life held choking pain
Life was rough
Life was capture
Life had left me
Life was void

A membrane bursts a drowning mass
Securely latched from the past
Of myth
Of faith
Of heaven
Of hell
Of life
Of death
