Lyrics

Freak

[Verse 1]

He rides the wave, a spiral slave

The prince of darkness plays his games

You're hypnotised under velvet skies

He breathes the red wind across your eyes

[Chorus]

Who leads you to the dark secret?

Who leads you to the dark secret?

[Verse 2]

Your life is lost, your soul is damned

But it feels too good to make a stand

Bad is bad, but this is worse

Let judgement come you love this curse

[Pre-Chorus]

When you look at man you're like a god

Swimming in the tide of life, somersault into the flood

Washes you away

[Chorus]

Who leads you to the dark secret?

Who leads you to the dark secret?

[Bridge]

Who is your mistress who leads you to the dark secret?

Who is your mistress who leads you to the dark secret?

Who is your mistress who leads you to the dark secret?

Who is your mistress who leads you to the dark secret?

[Guitar Solo]

Who is your mistress who leads you to the dark secret?

Who is your mistress who leads you to the dark secret?

[Chorus]

Who leads you to the dark secret?

Who leads you to the dark secret?

Who leads you to the dark secret?

Who leads you to the dark secret?
