The Cult

The Cult are a British rock band formed in 1983. They gained a dedicated following in Britain in the mid 1980s as a post-punk band with singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary", before breaking mainstream in the United States in the late 1980s as a hard rock band with singles such as "Love Removal Machine" and "Fire Woman". The band fuse a "heavy metal revivalist" sound with the "pseudo-mysticism ... of The Doors [and] the guitar-orchestrations of Led Zeppelin ... while adding touches of post-punk goth rock". Since their earliest form in Bradford during 1981, the band have had various line-ups; the longest-serving members are vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy, the band's two songwriters. more »

And the kinda dream that you've never seen

Black haired missy
Big brown eyes
On my knees, mama please

I'll do what I can
To take you off to the promised land

I'm a sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Sun king, honey

I'm a sun king, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey

Ripping up the town, yeah

Long legged lady with a black dress on
On my knees, mama please

City crawling like a tired dog, yeah
Cult children in the house of the dawn, yeah

Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
I see the sun begin to shine

Oh, sun king, honey
We can rule across the land
