Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Ben Hillier

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Take my hand
And walk in the light
Understand, there's a fire to ignite

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
You know we have a responsibility
It's true we've been chosen
And now we have the possibility
Of melting what's frozen

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Walk with me with the rapture inside
Can't you see it's not our place to decide

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
You know we have to make a case for love
It's more of a duty
It's clear we have a mission from above
A mission of beauty

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
You know I wouldn't lie to you
What would I achieve by that
It's more than I would try to do
These are the facts

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Take your place here
With love in your heart
Just embrace what you've known from the start

[Chorus 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
We are fulfilling our only destiny
The angels have spoken
And all the gods in the universe agree
The spell can't be broken

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.
