"Stigmata Martyr" - by Bauhaus
(Night of the Demons Soundtrack, 1988)
Lyrics by Peter Murphy
In a crucifixation ecstasy
Lying cross chequed in agony
Stigmata bleed continuously
Holes in head, hands, feet and weep for me
Stigmata, oh, you sordid sight
Stigmata in your splintered plight
Look to your crimson orifice
In holy remembrance, in scarlet bliss
Stigmata martyr
Stigmata martyr
Stigmata martyr
In nomine et patri, et filii, et spiritus sanctum
In nomine et patri, et filii, et spiritius sanctum
In nomine et patri, et filii, et spiritius sanctum
In nomine et patri, et filii, et spiritius sanctum
