The Cult

The Cult are a British rock band formed in 1983. They gained a dedicated following in Britain in the mid 1980s as a post-punk band with singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary", before breaking mainstream in the United States in the late 1980s as a hard rock band with singles such as "Love Removal Machine" and "Fire Woman". The band fuse a "heavy metal revivalist" sound with the "pseudo-mysticism ... of The Doors [and] the guitar-orchestrations of Led Zeppelin ... while adding touches of post-punk goth rock". Since their earliest form in Bradford during 1981, the band have had various line-ups; the longest-serving members are vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy, the band's two songwriters. more »

You break the man, leave its shell on the ground,
What have you done with your own lies, your words

Shed everything on you, speak everything I’ve seen
So kill your jealousy and watch you bleed.

You can’t destroy them, the beauty and the youth.
You’ll never be them, you never had the truth.

I lay down with the beasts on the ground
The prophets cry in every tear I pray for ever

Shed everything on you, speak everything I’ve seen
So kill your jealousy and watch you still believe.

You can’t destroy them, the beauty and the youth.
You’ll never be them, you never had the truth.

Destroy, destroy, destroy it all.
Why I don’t understand.
Why you destroy everything
so beautiful in your hands.

Come home.
And hate strips it away
The ‘yes’ inside the men
But we’ve a golden loose
And hang you from the stars.
