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

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»

It said:

«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»

It said:

«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.»
