The nightmare
par Cliff Richard

I have a burden of pure vengeance
That I was damned with from my birth
And it will the force that drives me
Until the day I quit this earth
You live by treachery and violence
And they will crush you in return
Your destruction is my pleasure
Your spite the fire in which you burn
I´m the true son of our father
And I am lord of wuthering heights
Burn in hell, you filthy gypsy
Share the fate of parasites
I did not love you isabella
You were the means to other ends
I always knew our ailing offspring
Would never pay me dividends
I used to long for you to kill me
But now I wish you death instead
I gave you all this woman could do
I was raped, abandoned, all feelings dead
Spineless edgar, feeble edgar
Catherine wanted only me
I was constant, I was tender
All that you could never be
There´s a time for absolution
There´s a time for true regret
I knew the envy of a family
Which was so easy to destroy
But oh my cathy not so easy
To be the one you could enjoy
I cannot rest in peace without you
And you could never comprehend
My cold and angry isolation
I wait for you brother, lover, friend
Death it beckons, sister, lover
All I see is your sweet face
Whether man or whether devil
Still the love I can´t replace
There is a time for absolution
There is a time for true regret
There is a time to beg forgiveness
But the time is here not yet
I curse the God or man that made me
I curse the life I had to lead
I curse the years ahead without her
I curse my hunger, I curse my need
That I was damned with from my birth
And it will the force that drives me
Until the day I quit this earth
You live by treachery and violence
And they will crush you in return
Your destruction is my pleasure
Your spite the fire in which you burn
I´m the true son of our father
And I am lord of wuthering heights
Burn in hell, you filthy gypsy
Share the fate of parasites
I did not love you isabella
You were the means to other ends
I always knew our ailing offspring
Would never pay me dividends
I used to long for you to kill me
But now I wish you death instead
I gave you all this woman could do
I was raped, abandoned, all feelings dead
Spineless edgar, feeble edgar
Catherine wanted only me
I was constant, I was tender
All that you could never be
There´s a time for absolution
There´s a time for true regret
I knew the envy of a family
Which was so easy to destroy
But oh my cathy not so easy
To be the one you could enjoy
I cannot rest in peace without you
And you could never comprehend
My cold and angry isolation
I wait for you brother, lover, friend
Death it beckons, sister, lover
All I see is your sweet face
Whether man or whether devil
Still the love I can´t replace
There is a time for absolution
There is a time for true regret
There is a time to beg forgiveness
But the time is here not yet
I curse the God or man that made me
I curse the life I had to lead
I curse the years ahead without her
I curse my hunger, I curse my need
