    This is one of our favorite songs. Hell-bent on industrial mayhem and eternal damnation of disloyal lovers, this song makes the crowd move! This song is like a church organ -- if it opened to pitchy black pit of disgust.

    Story Behind the Song
    This is one of the first songs the original band wrote. Mechangel Megatron picked up on it in no time and it is back in our set list.

    Lyrics
    I thought that love was supposed to feel good,
    I guess I was wrong,
    once again…

    Seraphim or Succubus, no I never really could tell,
    You never could guess my heart ever would
    Would mix with your own - making love to you is like sleeping alone…

    Chorus
    Runnin' around in circles,
    Prayin' for an end
    Holding court in alleyways - worshipping the Zen
    Amen!

    Well I'm weak in the knees at the dawns gray night
    Seeing the decision with my eyes
    Well, I bet you never thought I would see you,
    Well honey I've got a surprise
    Cause a vow is a vow is a vow is a promise is a means to an end

    CHORUS

    Amen, say the brothers and sisters
    Amen, say the children of Christ
    Amen, says Vatsayana
    Amen, says Sean Weis

    CHORUS

    Well I'd rather be a pinhead than queer for death
    At least I learned that much
    Cause redemption is the palace I've searched for and I know
    It ain't bearing your touch
    I'll never let you destroy me again
    It's time to throw away that crutch

    CHORUS

    Amen! Hope ain't dead yet
    Amen! I'll never die
    Amen! We'll bury the bitches yet
    You got no need to ask me why

    Amen! says the man in the window
    Amen! says the man in the street
    Amen! says the man on the corner
    Amen! says the man at your feet
    Amen!
    Amen!
    Amen!
