[Verse 1]
The well is dry and the spring runs shallow
And the sun is high and the field lies fallow
My tongue is tied and my body aching
Now I'm opened wide and afraid of breaking
The food is hot and the tables are ready
But my stomach's knots make my hands unsteady
So I take to pacing up and down the room
While my heart keeps racing and my mind's consumed

[Chorus]
I just want to be part of the light, of the light, of the light, of the light, of the light in your eyes
I just wanna be part of the light, of the light, of the light, of the light, of the light in your eyes

[Verse 2]
The bed is made and the candle's burning
All our games are played and the clock keeps turning
We're out of tricks with the silence cutting
And the daggers stick as the doors keep shutting

[Chorus]
I just wanna be part of the fight, of the fight, of the fight, of the fight, of the fight in your eyes
I just want to be part of the fight, of the fight, of the fight, of the fight, of the fight in your eyes
Always, always, always, always (forever)
Always (forever), always (forever), always (forever), always

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
