Exile

Gary Numan

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 
To 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 
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? 
Than choose. Heaven or Hell or me? 
A shadow on the sane 
The final treachery of God." 

"You will kneel for me 
Lose your eyes for me." 

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

It said: 
"I'll make everyone pay 
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."
