Depeche Mode - Surrender

Martin and Peter backstage rehearsing Surrender for the Exciter tour.

Lyrics:
Laying on your holy bed by the hallowed door
Feeling like an infidel not worthy of your call
Tempted by your innocence beckoned to my fate
I won't face the consequence, I wouldn't hesitate

I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

Shackled like an animal chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice to love's eternal fires
Tame me with your tenderness and break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly tear my world apart

I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel

I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

@nickknox75 You are absolutely right! I have often thought of quite a few B-Sides of being knock outs and should have made albums. I couldn't agree with you more, very strong indeed!

With Surrender, I can't help but think that DM really underestimated this song leaving as a b-side. Definitely could have used for an album instead of the b-side to Only when I lose Myself. Very strong song.

@BabyTorres AMEN!!! :)

This is by far the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Just raw Martin with just some Dior mascara a mirror and piano. I love this guy more than words can say.
