Vapour Lemuel This album was my first exposure to Leper. Whilst more industrial than goth rock as Leper usually plays, it is still a very intense album full of raw emotions. Love it! Favorite track: God Hater.

Glass 07:35
Through me look-ing see-ing eve-ry crack in my be-ing hid-ing no-thing al-ways know-ing what I'm think-ing how I'm feel-ing call-ing for me to–know–you drift-ing runn-ing break-ing fall-ing always return-ing always re-pairing frag-ile trust-ing al-ways reveal-ing al-ways need-ing al-ways want-ing to–know–you

Sometimes I almost feel as if I just can't stand it till the seasons change and the sun fades away, trade a hard life for a comforting death and the leaves are falling red, red, red, like blood, blood that justifies the wrong when it falls from heaven in a gentle song, nothing belongs to the goblin king he's a liar, a liar, a liar and a thief and dry dead leaves are perfume to me and an overcast day can be a beautiful thing We see the moon rising We feel the air is chilling We see the leaves are changing We know our season is coming When the wind blows through her big dark beautiful wings it fills my heart with visions of romance, visions of romance, she's a grand excuse for a costume ball, I just wish she lasted all year long But that's a pleasant fiction! We see the moon rising We feel the air is chilling We see the leaves are changing We know our season is coming

Scar 05:42
It's an old scar from an old wound acts up every now and then it's been there ever since the day it was inflicted by an evil little monkey with an evil little smile and you know she's just lying when she says it doesn't matter cause it still hurts even though it isn't bleeding and it feels one day she'll go mad all of a sudden cause it makes her feel cold maybe just a little dirty but she shouldn't take it out on the ones who really love her even though she's been told it's completely justifiable it still doesn't help after all WHO CAN LOVE A BROKEN TOY? Even though it's still there it's become a whole lot easier ever since she gave her life to the one who died to save her now her blood runs white and she's, she's thinking clearly she won't let anyone tell her that she's crazy cause she knows how she feels when she closes her eyes and the healing began the healing began the healing began with every day that passes you know she's getting stronger even though she's got a long way to go she's come too far too far to look back now

Monster 03:50
Everybody's got a monster lying just beneath when they don't get exactly what they want that's when you see their teeth DON'T FORGET TO SEPARATE THE FACT FROM THE FICTION - THEY NEVER LOOK LIKE HOLLYWOOD EVER DESCRIBES 'EM Everybody's got a monster doesn't matter who you are when you're not paying attention that's when they bite off your arms hunt 'em down with torches just don't look in the mirror you might find you're hunting yourself wouldn't that be weird DON'T FORGET TO SEPARATE THE FACT FROM THE FICTION - THEY NEVER LOOK LIKE HOLLYWOOD EVER DESCRIBES 'EM Everybody's got a monster it's fun to keep 'em in chains but the best advice ever given to me was to crucify mine each and every single day DON'T FORGET TO SEPARATE THE FACT FROM THE FICTION - THEY NEVER LOOK HOLLYWOOD EVER DESCRIBES 'EM

God Hater 03:28
They cut down the truth because it does not suit the lust that drives their blackened heart willingly they are... ISOLATED FROM THE LORD TURN THEIR BACK AND CUT THE CORD WHAT THEY DON'T LIKE THEY JUST IGNORE THEIR SELFISHNESS LOOKS LIKE THEIR FAVORITE WHORE WHORE WHORE Love is give and take and they will only take and blame it on the church that they claim let them down mediocrity is what they choose to see when they look at the faith and try to shift the blame They blame God for all the death and destruction that they have brought upon themselves they are too far out of reach because they choose to be and not because the church is as human as they are Society will not rest until there is not one moral left standing
6.
You're so full of lust you can't see straight you're always on the hunt for something new to taste admitting that morality will slow down the pace so the lines of conviction are being erased you don't even care that your head's messed up from filling it up with that sexy stuff and you won't fess up because you're just too cool I know that you won't because I'm just like you I'M JUST LIKE YOU Obsession comes calling and it won't let go pornographic images just pollute your soul forget what's right; justify what's wrong when you're watching those girls that are dancing all alone they like to be watched cause it turns them on to know your eyes are on them instead of where they belong you'd pretend you're not married when they flirt with you I used to do it all the time when I was just like you I'M JUST LIKE YOU It feels so good when you're on your way to hell and the only voice you hear is the one below your belt trading your commitment for a little show and tell doesn't justify the crime when you lie to yourself you need to have love you need to get saved you need to repent before you understand grace you'll have to give account for every thing you say and do but I can't point fingers cause I'm just like you

Bright clear all encompassing hot blinding burning skin hate cursed hiding like rats pain blistering if we touch him we'll die RUN FOR YOUR LIFE HERE HE COMES AGAIN HIDE IN YOUR BOX HE CAN'T GET IN TO TOUCH ONE RAY MEANS CERTAIN DEATH ANNIHILATION LIKE THE REST BURST INTO FLAMES AT JUST ONE GLANCE AND CRUMBLE INTO SMOLDERING ASH RETREAT RETREAT DEEP BENEATH THE EARTH LOOK OUT THE SUN HAS FOUND A WAY IN RUN FOR YOUR LIFE HERE HE COMES AGAIN LOOK OUT THE LIGHT IS LEAKING IN AND IT BEGINS WITH HIM CONVICTION AND PAIN AND LOVE AND LIFE AND HEALING BEHOLD THE RADIANCE OF THE TRUTH THAT HE HAS MADE HIS PEACE WITH US AND CONQUERED ACCUSATION WITH GRACE LOOK OUT THE SON HAS FOUND A WAY IN Truth love redemption is everything

Festering 07:39
I have heard the voice of holiness it beckons to my heart and breaks again holding back the sadness try to hide the truth I really don't wish to admit SHE DOESN'T CARE I have sworn the oath 1000 times and I have fallen short but I have never turned away yet the only thing she wants to do is study all my errors and ignore your grace SHE DOESN'T CARE TO KNOW YOUR NAME There's a little black dot of skepticism in the back of her mind and it's festering and she's moving it down to the bottom of her heart where she thinks it's keeping her safe from harm but it's festering she thinks it defends her from lies but the funny thing is it's just festering and if only she could see her life through the eyes of the one who made her she would possibly begin to understand that it's festering, it's all festering, festering disbelief is festering, festering
9.
If everything was green would I stare at the sky? If my faith relaxed, would the sky stare back? What if you could look into forever and all that you could see was the grass haunted by the wind? If you heard the sky speaking unto thee would you bother to answer, or play it off as imagery?
10.
Alone he views the rain dancing down the window's pane just another pathetic cliché of love discarded & vows misplaced she says they've grown apart no big deal or broken heart wipe away the slate with a brand new start and a brand new mate As Christ loves the CHURCH And gave his life for HER Unbridled carnality is like a raper of the least of these place us for fools strip us of our rights to choose faithful love over solitude when it got hard she took the selfish route instead of committing to work things out but anything worth having at all is worth fighting for and discarding walls As Christ loves the CHURCH And gave his life for HER Tell me what does it mean till death do us part I belong to thee shudder to think we'd say such things and never ever really take them seriously when the two make one I guess there's something glorious about looking into one's eyes and knowing where your security lies
11.
We've been in the dark so long the light hurts my eyes stumbling through this foolish clouded frame of mind even though the flesh of sleeping strangers leaves a horrible taste on my tongue I keep feeding all the same, thinking of a day when life wouldn't have to smell so bad all the wealth that they tried to take with them when they left, I have stolen from their beds even though it's all just worthless in my hands there's this big stone cross in the middle of my yard with words chiseled in its face they're beautiful words of hope that somehow terrify me to read and make it hard for me to sleep this invisible voice keeps on calling, calling, calling, calling, calling me to leave has me howling at the moon begging for forgiveness and freedom from this self-appointed gloom and it says after all my years of crawling through decay it's time for me to see oh yes it's time for me to see I just cannot save myself even though it hurts me to admit I know he's right cause I've tried and I've tried and tried oh yes I've tried again but I just cannot get the smell of excrement out of my soul

about

Leper Chicago

Hundreds of years ago, Leper emerged from the cold clay of a long-forgotten grave in a forested fog somewhere between Skotland and Sveden. The pulsating rhythm from within the tomb still in the chest, the now-breathing creature –reanimated, stunned, staring down – remembers.... how a lifeless wretch lives again. ... more
