The Line Between the Devil's Teeth Lyrics
A white light blazing deep
Through the wasteland searching we
Soaring birds now hunt the brow
As I thirsty gripped with hunger now
Clear sighted painful ends to win
The battle of the me so wafer thin
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
Push me in take me t'ward
The subject in the subject taught
A war without a war within
Join head and heart for to begin
Bemused we flinch no easy work
For invited men are loath to shirk
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
War Work
War Work
War Work
Hey man, how will you feel
When all you have and all you own
Is your only true friend
When above you in the firmament
Flow the blood of the prophets
Out of your reach
From your aching speech
Through the wasteland searching we
Soaring birds now hunt the brow
As I thirsty gripped with hunger now
Clear sighted painful ends to win
The battle of the me so wafer thin
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
The subject in the subject taught
A war without a war within
Join head and heart for to begin
Bemused we flinch no easy work
For invited men are loath to shirk
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
War Work
War Work
When all you have and all you own
Is your only true friend
When above you in the firmament
Flow the blood of the prophets
Out of your reach
From your aching speech

This song is nearly a perfect rhythmic copy of Bauhaus' 'In the Flat Fields'. Peter murphy plagarizing...himself?
I have no solid idea what this song is about. The following section is my favorite line in the song - Hey man, how will you feel When all you have and all you own Is your only true friend When above you in the firmament Flow the blood of the prophets Out of your reach From your aching speech
anyone noticed it sounds alot like In The Flat Field?
The permanence of sin in one's consciousness. It's about how guilt kills the search for the spiritual.
