May I implore you to consider the case by presenting three snippets of lyrical evidence, from the LP 'Phantasmagoria'? (Goth title!):
IF YOU CANT SLEEP TONIGHT
AND IF A FEVER GRIPS YOU TIGHT
THERE'S A PLACE WE MUST EXPLORE
OPEN WIDE THE DOOR
AND WE MAY BE THE HAUNTED MEN
BUT WE WILL HOLD OUR HEADS UP WHEN
WE WALK DOWN THE STREET OF DREAMS
THE DEAD BEATS AND THE DISPOSSESSED
THE SEEKERS OF UNLIKLINESS
A BEUTY WALKS ARM IN ARM
or
LOVE LIKE A CARNIVALS RUNAWAY RIDE
WE SPIN AND WE CLIMB TO WHERE ONCE SIRENS CRIED
AND THEN SOMETIMES ANGELS CAN BE DEVILS TOO
IT'S TRUE OF YOU
WHEN SHADOWS NO LONGER FALL
AND FOOTSTEPS CAN'T BE HEARD AT ALL
I HEAR A GHOST OF A CALL
ITS TRUE FROM YOU
or
GRIMLY FIENDISH,PLAYS THE GAME THAT NEVER PAYS
SUNG OUT LOUD BUT NEVER PRAYED
GRIMLY FIENDISH,WEARS A COAT THATS BLACK AND LONG
HE DOSEN'T KNOW THAT IT'S ALL WRONG
Gothy gothy gothy!
But usually they're punk, you're absolutely correct.
