Eyes Of Caligula (song)
During the worldwide "zombie apocalypse" coronavirus lockdowns, which had
ended The Sisters of Mercy's Europe Spring Tour of 2020 after only four UK-dates,
the band turned to writing further new songs instead of touring.
After five new titles were added to the list on the official Live News Page on April 25th,
Eyes Of Caligula followed the next day bringing the complete lyrics with it.
The song is credited to Ben Christo, Andrew Eldritch and Dylan Smith.
First discussions about the meaning of this and the other new songs
can be found @The Heartland Forums from around here.
Lyrics
EYES OF CALIGULA (2020)
no new jerusalem
there is no us; there's only them
this is not my map at all
wrapped in sugar for her pains
no, she says, I'm wearing stains
she do mascara fail
there is a wall and you will wail
remember what you can
rain on the face
where the dogs ran
crippled all in scented lace
there were miners in the dark
there's needles in the park
eyes of caligula look on
we had wool and we had steel
we had liverpool, not ever much your england
now the chrome and we should kneel
in a home where we're not real
eyes of caligula look on
there was a north
there was a north
eyes of caligula look on
