Analysis
Garden Of Delight was written by Wayne Hussey, for Left On Mission And Revenge, the supposed follow-up Sisters of Mercy album to First And Last And Always.
A demo version with Eldritch singing is relatively widespread, though many believe he sounds as if he is feeling "forced" to sing.
A further demo version with better quality is also available.
Likewise, a demo version with Hussey singing exists as well, and he sounds as if he's putting effort into it.
For some unknown reason the lyrics in both versions, whilst identical for the most part, have certain lines edited.
This may be due to Eldritch's dislike of Hussey's songwriting.
A remade version of Garden Of Delight was later produced by The Mission for their single Like A Hurricane (listen here...),
and an orchestral version, "Garden Of Delight (The Hereafter)" for their album God's Own Medicine.
Eldritch Lyrics
Shimmering over all those wistful faces
And the promise burning brightly in their eyes
In this violent flesh the cut that bleeds the kiss that stings
Desperate snows fall from desperate skies
CHORUS
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
Home.....
Reflections in the liquid windswept mirror
The breathless world elegance and charm
The treasured touch, the first touch of a stranger
It charmed me, entranced me, no harm
So...
CHORUS
This child of death, kissing in the playground
Senses swirling, faithful to the kill
Playing with fire, a chance among the playsound
Covered in burns and turn away, they're dancing still
So...
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden
Of delight
Of delight
(repeat)
CHORUS
Home (home)
Home (home)
Home (home)
Home (home)

Hussey Lyrics
See the dancing laughing naked faces
And the promise burning brightly in their eyes
This violent flesh the cut that bleeds the kiss that stings
Desperate snows fall from shimmering skies
CHORUS
So
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden
Of delight
Reflections in the windswept liquid mirror
Of the breathelsss world elegance and charm
The treasured first kiss of a stranger
It charms entranced me I know you mean me no harm
CHORUS
This happy death, kissing in the playground
Senses swirling, faithful to the kill
I'm playing with fire dancing in the flames
I'm covered in burns that just won't heal
CHORUS
Of delight
CHORUS
Of delight
