Gary Numan - Exile Lyrics






I heard it in my sleep
A voice more dead than old
I thought I'd known the fear
But then it touched my soul and said:

"You will pray for me
Bow your head to me."

It came for me at night
And took me dream by dream
To where everything is dark
And no-one hears you scream
Took everything I loved
And turned love into pain
It said "I'm the prophecy
And I'll make you believe in me."

"Sacrifice for me
Be humility."

It said:
"I'll make everyone pay
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forget
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forgive
I'll make everyone pay."

"And so it comes to this
Death or eternity?
Or would you like to pay
For all humanity?
Do you believe in faith?
Than choose. Heaven or Hell or me?
A shadow on the sane
The final treachery of God."

"You will kneel for me
Lose your eyes for me."

"Betray the world for me
Burn your soul for me."

It said:
"I'll make everyone pay
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forget
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forgive
I'll make everyone pay."

Gary Numan Exile Comments
  1. F.... S....

    #TheApsylum would be honoured to One Day own at least one copy of each of HIS Arts... Instant replay of the album again :)

  2. M.... M....

    Why does it sounds lo-fi? Seems it never went through a good studio/sound engineer...

    M.... M....

    For ya to say "it never went through a Good studio/sound engineer" is amazingly insulting & disrespectful! I for One would never reject free Music from my favourite artists & many artists experiment with their albums, what if that's how he intended to present IT? Then ya missed out on the point of IT I guess LoL & what if it's ur device that's shite? Apologies to ur device! Lol! huge admiration #TheApsylum

    M.... M....

    Well TBH, his albums have never sounded well recorded and mastered since Metal Rhythm. People thought you could just do it all yourself at home. But when you go to recording studios you're not just using their gear, you're employing people with skills and a good ear. You should always let someone else do mastering if possible, everyone hears differently and some better than others.

  3. j.... m....

    Any album info? Love Numan. Never heard this one. When was it released?

  4. D.... M....

    I lost 100 pounds working out to this juggernaut.

    D.... M....

    Congratulations that's amazing!

  5. F.... ....

    heck of an album .. wow

  6. I.... A....

    Exile is a masterpiece, not a bum track on it, just what you would expect from the man that is Numan, going to see him on his 40th anniversary tour later this, it will be another night to remember

    I.... A....

    I Am Mr Berserker have you seen him yet we see him on Tuesday night fantastic back to back songs some old some new

  9. D.... M....

    1:01:54 Numan Forever!!!!!!!!!! If there is a here after, love to be at the show every night. Absolute Absolution!

  10. D.... M....

    Album reminds me a lot of Radial Pair + religion + horror. I can definitely hear Depeche Mode similarities in Absolution. Great. I picture him sitting in a dark room at a piano with sun shining through skylights and showing dusted sun rays. Some of those beaty songs, I found myself shouting "It's an Eminence Front. Eminence Front. It's a put on"

  11. t.... ....

    Numan's darkest offering in my opinion. I have this album on cassette. :)

    t.... ....

    #TheApsylum: Hybrid is so sexy & grimey too though :D!

    ...Ugh cassettes are Yay but I Just recently put a crack in my Rancid cassette & that hurt a little LoL hahahahahahaha

  12. K.... ....

    Without any doubt, a fantastic "extended versions"-album !!!
    Surely the "next step" after "Sacrifice-extended!!

    Fucking epic, period.

    M.... T....

    Nice LoL

  22. T.... Z....

    I'd spit in
    the face of gawd...
    If he dare damn you!

  23. Z.... T....

    😈🔥 💀👽😎👽💀🔥😈

  24. T.... S....

    A Alien Cure has been my ALL TIME FAV from this album. (specially a certain mix version I don't wish to mention incase of upsetting others) NEVERTHELESS A BRILL ALBUM!!! 👏👏👏👍😐

    T.... S....

    You are free to enjoy whichever version you like and you are also free to share your feelings about it.

    T.... S....

    Was ok with that track until he got to the piano solo and I am like OH YEAH, was worth it for that....

  25. S.... ....

    I like more this, than the original album.

  26. A.... K....

    He's an Indigo. Like You, Me and many NuManophiles. Carries great
    potentials, but also darker elements in most. Unless the rare case of
    being really nurtured from birth AS an Indigo.

    A.... K....

    NuManophology: the study of creating HAPPY stains under Black lights in the (!) Room LoL #TheApsylum Oh Canada :D!!!!!!

  27. G.... ....

    Absolution

    G.... ....

    Agreed, best track. One of his best.

  28. i.... w....

    brilliant album

  29. N.... E....

    Gee for someone who doesn't believe he spends a lot of time obsessing over Christianity. Even writes songs about it.
    He doesn't sound very happy about it either.

    N.... E....

    'christianity'? what ego....
    satan....the fallen/watchers....
    INVENTED....christianity/religion....

    THE TRUE HOLY CREATOR / SUPREME OMNIPRESENT ONE....was here EONS before the first belief systems were introduced (by the fallen) - to divide and rule humans....

    ....and that was EONS before the stupidity called 'christianity' that was stolen from the other religions/beliefs/people - it put to death....

    N.... E....

    I highly doubt that's what The Fallen had intended however most nephylem won't address ur comment with a barge pole LMFAO #TheApsylum

    N.... E....

    @Freedom Stone Mycology
    how many nephilim do you know?
    who are you to say what they will and won't address....
    I shouldn't imagine they would take a shine to the smaller selves speaking on their behalf....

    N.... E....

    @green fox it's a shame that green fox called itself smaller I'm sure it's stature is noted!

    N.... E....

    @Freedom Stone Mycology
    I was talking about YOU....
    we have ALL been 'noted'....

  30. t.... ....

    Bloody hell... what an album~!! Thank you for sharing.

  31. Z.... J....

    My fave album ever.The entire album sounds like a score to a gothic horror film. Suprising that he reached his peak so late.

    Z.... J....

    He's far from done & over but The phrase Aged to Perfection lends some understanding of how amazing he is :) !

  32. E.... R....

    Absolution.

    E.... R....

    Definitely! Loved that track!

  33. L.... S....

    So love how he brings his feeling out in Angel Wars. so much emotions. one of my favorite's.

  34. J.... P....

    how old was he

    J.... P....

    +John Pastena This came out in 1998 so he was 40.

    J.... P....

    The year was 1997

    J.... P....

    1997 was the regular version, the extended version came out in 1998.

    J.... P....

    Yes of course! why did I think that?

  35. J.... S....

    The version of The Angel Wars on here is amazing!

    J.... S....

    One of favorites

    J.... S....

    Agreed. It's absolutely stellar.

    J.... S....

    Jordan Strang

  36. S.... D....

    is this available on cd

    S.... D....

    +Stephen Dennis Yes it is, although this precise version (extended) is not the cheapest. You can still get the regular one for a fair price on amazon though.

    S.... D....

    How much am I looking at

    S.... D....

    +Stephen Dennis From my experience, around £30 is the cheapest you can get. But I've seen people selling it for nearly £100. It depends on how lucky you get. If you check from time to time you might get one at a reasonable price.

  37. W.... S....

    I absolutely love the extended drum machine intro on Dominion Day. Wish I knew what kind he used to get that sound.

    W.... S....

    +mrsdevilurumi Thank you so much for uploading all the music you have. It is so screwed up how the music has been cut off from the US nearly all together at various times. I really appreciate your offer to help me out.
     I am sorry it took me a while to get back to you. This album and other U Tube music started freezing up on me and it took me a LONG time to fix that problem...then another...you get the drift.
    I had the best NUMAN collection. I feel like I lost part of myself when I lost it. My "friends" liked it too, and a lot got ripped off. If I could get my old computer to work, I could pull out some of my old NUMAN mixes. Too big a project for now, but You are AWESOME and definitely have been at the top of my playlists and subscriptions...I am telling lots of people about Gary who don't know what a musical genius he is, and promoting your uploads to my circles. Lots of views so far! More to come! Hell, this is the first time my computer has gotten through "Angel Wars" since I began working on its quirks... Thanks again, you are awesome!!!! I will let you know...I have some of his early stuff on CD that I bought off of EBAY in 2007. Definitely not studio or top quality, likely homemade, but live and still cool. KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!
    Thanks, Tiffany

    Will Smith
    Hi Will, Gary used a programme called Addictive Drums. It's a brilliant software package and the sounds are very authentic.

    W.... S....

    Thank you. I've been looking for that answer for a while now.

    W.... S....

    He's an Indigo. Like You, Me and many NuManophiles. Carries great potentials, but also darker elements in most. Unless the rare case of being really nurtured from birth AS an Indigo.

    W.... S....

    @Will Smith I very much doubt it's a drum machine. Just drum loops played on a sampler. He used lots of them around this time. Just seen the answer above doh. But I'm sure he combined loops with it too.

  38. W.... S....

    Gary Numan - Exile Extended [Full Album]

  39. C.... H....

    I loved the original album for a long time and had no idea there was another version with so much more music. Thank you for uploading this extended version. I believe it is Gary Numan's best album. The lyrics of the title track really hit home with me.

    C.... H....

    @Colonel Hart I have to say this one remains one of my favourite as well. Glad you like it.

    C.... H....

    I feel the same way; and I only just now discovered the artist (YouTube suggested I play this). Wow.

    C.... H....

    You have a lot of catching up to do... Enjoy...!!!

    C.... H....

    Yeah. I know where some of my tax refund is going in a couple of months. :)
