Contains History Of Guns track: (click track title for lyrics)

1. Secret Garden
Written by Alien/Rael/Stagger

Additional Information
At the start of 1998 History Of Guns were asked to appear on the forthcoming 'Contains No Holy Additives' compilation CD, put together by Crin from Godreah zine. The CD although primarily dedicated to the black metal scene tried to encompass the whole underground scene, including death, doom and goth. History Of Guns were at this time being described as 'post industrial goth', which kind of fit...
In true History Of Guns style time had almost completely run out when they booked themselves in at Sync City Media to record this version 'Secret Garden'.

A short film was made to accompany the song which involved the journey via car from Cuffley to Waltham Cross whilst Max Rael ranted to the camera... on arrival at Del's the camera focusses on a television where computer generated images are shown in time to the music. (yes, it's as good as it sounds!!)

The full title of this track is Secret Garden (vs 3.0) As suggested there are various other versions of the track:
Version (1.0) the version that the band jammed/played live originally.
Version (2.0) a truly amazing version recorded at Earthworks studio in Barnet, featuring Gary 'The Reverend' Hughes on drums. (sadly, the band are currently unable to locate any existing copies of this version)
Version (4.0) Re-recorded version at the Guns own Dustman Studios with drum loops and lead guitar from Gary Hughes.

Secret Garden
(Alien/Rael/Stagger)

All her dreams they turn to nightmares
Make this all go away
And Jane, she is praying
It will not be her
Inside this garden
This secret garden

Jane, she's praying
Jane, she's praying
Inside the garden
Her secret garden

So make it all go away
Something must break
Beyond her control
Inside this garden
This secret garden

Jane, she's praying
Jane, she's praying
Inside the garden
Her secret garden

She talks to gargoyles
To bring her down
They hold the secret
That can't be found
They steal her light
So she can't see
And no one, no one...

Inside this garden
This secret garden
Inside the garden
Her secret garden
