Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Laying on your holy bed by the hallowed door
Feeling like an infidel not worthy of your floor
Tempted by your innocence, beckoned to my fate
I will face the consequence, I wouldn't hesitate
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
Shackled like an animal, chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice to love's eternal pyres
Tame me with your tenderness and break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly tear my world apart
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah
Feeling like an infidel not worthy of your floor
Tempted by your innocence, beckoned to my fate
I will face the consequence, I wouldn't hesitate
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
Shackled like an animal, chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice to love's eternal pyres
Tame me with your tenderness and break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly tear my world apart
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Another song of Martin in bondage. "Shackled like an animal" "Laying on your holy bed by the hallowed door Feeling like an infidel Not worthy of your call"
And once again, he surrenders control to another Dominant. "I'm a man of flesh and bone Rapture Rushing through my veins Passion Flaming In my heart Heavenly surrender once again Yeah"
i absolutely love this song ...depeche mode is the BEST!
i can't belive im the only person to comment on this song!
excellent non album track. along with my joy and sea of sin, i hope they release a b side cd, because they're just as good. thanks DM!! think hes talking about falling in love and feeling the less of the two? giving in to temptation
Amazing songs (of "new" DM). Make sure you hear backstage version performed by Martin youtube.com/watch (or search youtube)
This song is gorgeous, and it sounds great sung by Dave, but Martin's version on the Exciter Live In Paris dvd (it's an easter egg), where he's singing it backstage, is truly stunning.
Actually it should be:
"Feeling like an infidel Not worthy of your floor Tempted by your innocence Beckoned to my fate I will face the consequence I wouldn't hesitate"
On the versions that Martin sings those are the lyrics.
