Dance On Glass Lyrics
Roll of thunder
Kiss and the scream
Hold out my arms and scars start to show
Howling for the glory of the innocent
But don't despair for the shame I know
The taste of ash on my tongue
Faith and prayers, wanton dust
Chanting strangers, blood on their cheeks
Haunt my dreams all covered in blood
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Tarnish, taint, and punish me softly
Cut that bleeds and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ragged
For the love of God, my dreams look dim
So
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martys
A whisper and a promise lit on fire
Kiss the hands where the angels dread
Love is the corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds
So
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martys
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Tarnish, taint, and punish me softly
Cut that bleeds and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ragged
For the love of God, my dreams look dim
A whisper and a promise lit on fire
Kiss the hands where the angels dread
Love is the corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds
So
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Dance, Dance on Glass
Kiss and the scream
Hold out my arms and scars start to show
Howling for the glory of the innocent
But don't despair for the shame I know
Faith and prayers, wanton dust
Chanting strangers, blood on their cheeks
Haunt my dreams all covered in blood
Saints and Martyrs
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Cut that bleeds and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ragged
For the love of God, my dreams look dim
So
Saints and Martyrs
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martys
Kiss the hands where the angels dread
Love is the corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds
So
Saints and Martys
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Cut that bleeds and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ragged
For the love of God, my dreams look dim
Kiss the hands where the angels dread
Love is the corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds
So
Saints and Martyrs
Dance, Dance on Glass
Saints and Martyrs
Dance, Dance on Glass

This is essentially the Black Planet demo with guide vocals.
This is just such a great song. The lyrics really speak in volumes of this unknown pain and anguish, and tells you to pillage these feelings. To explore, to take a chance, to Dance on Glass. The Sisters of Mercy are truly great musicians, and their music is and inspiration to many people...
Bear in mind that the songwriter for this song could be Wayne Hussey, then a SOM member but which after the first CD broke apart from the band to form The Mission Uk. In fact, the Mission has a song by the same name (different music).
