When murder victims die

from 100 Faces by Lilou & John

/

about

"When Murder Victims Die" was inspired by the lyrics of Motörhead and Lilou's Tim Burtonesque melody gave the song a new dimension. The da-da-da chorus was furthermore created to transform the dark song into a burlesque. The song is based on John's early childhood memories and the text could perhaps explain why he has "an interest in odd people who see the devil in the shadows and god in the ray of light".

lyrics

My eyes they mesmerised me
When I was a kid
Saw beyond the seas of blue
Saw beyond the lids
Caught by my own torture
Isolated by
My own wish to survive where
All I could was die

Mirrors they deceived me
Told me who I was
Said to me remember
All that you have lost
This is your life abandoned
By your family
Cast out into the abyss
Of a raging sea

Voices caught me freezing
Coming from the dark
Of the bedroom corners
The whisper from my heart
Beware oh little soldier
Your sword is made of wood
Just remember when you die
You did the best you could

Endless was the long line
Of empty shallow days
Behind the wall of self deceit
Where I chose to stay
I came out to the starlight
The nights that were so clean
Just the fading torture
From a mesmerising dream

At night the wind was chilly
At least I wasn't home
Werewolves out for children
Left my mind alone
I wasn't scared of ghosts there
They hid within the walls
Of the house where death awaited
Behind the wooden door

Hallowed be thy name they said
But I knew they were wrong
There is pit where gods and devils
Will not stay for long
A fear so deep and painful
It makes a demon cry
Alone it is, alone when
Murder victims die

My eyes they mesmerised me
When I was a kid
Locked myself out from the world
Scared behind the lids
Caught by my own torture
Isolated by
My own wish to survive where
All I could was die

My own wish to survive where
All I could was die
