A Whisp of the Atlantic

Lyrics

The gloom descends on these whispered bits of nothing
 Kept alive by the faintest light
 A rush of blood into parts undeserving
 I arrive shielded by the night
 I can sense her in the signals
 Random waves all crashing down
 ♪
 I can sense her in the signals
 Random waves all crashing down
 It was her behind the symbols
 In that long abandoned town
 Though the path she's lead me on is never straight and narrow
 With my past erased I know I'm never ever going back
 Those distorted sacred visions
 Have been guiding me for years
 When there's no one 'round to listen
 
 I give names to all my fears
 And I seek them out
 A pretty face for every shadow
 For the ones I loved
 I know I'm never ever going back
 I beg of thee, summon me
 Relieve me of the flesh that burdens me
 Corporeal, substantial
 I'm slowly being crushed by gravity
 ♪
 I beg of thee, summon me
 Relieve me of the lies of sanity
 Succubus, sorceress
 Bring death to all that's human left in me
 Let this potion purge my history
 The organic stench that's choking me
 Let the chaos free from symmetry
 The orgasmic rise of liberty
 ♪
 In the arms of slumber
 I still sense your need
 The eternal hunger
 With which you infected me
 And with Morpheus watching
 We entwine once again
 The sensation of failing
 With the means to ascend
 Like the spear of vengeance
 And the star shaped cross
 I still see the signs of
 All that's gone but never lost
 Like the heavens denied us
 We denied ourselves
 But they'll never divide us
 I am yours 'til the end
 If that black day is coming
 And I'm struck by the light
 I'd give all I have left for
 A whisp of the Atlantic
 ♪
 Let the curtains fall and let the demons in
 I can't hear myself above their whispering
 Let the world ignite, obliterate this view
 Let the cosmos burn until there's only you
 ♪
 Burn!
 ♪
 And through the veil I still sense your sorrow
 There's no escape, not even in death
 One day our bones will be withered and hollow
 But we will still feel eternity's breath
 Just like a thought drawn to the elemental
 The dream we shared will keep us alive
 But I don't know why
 ♪
 I'd like to paint your worries in color
 I'd like to suck your juices all dry
 And I would hope that the essence I swallow
 It would remain so you'd always be mine
 Just like a stream drawn to the lies of oceans
 The plans we made will keep us alive
 But I don't know why
 ♪
 With the force of nothing
 And the weight of air
 On the verge of touching
 I will meet you there
 And with Lucifer laughing
 We ascend once again
 And the forces of nature
 They will all break and bend
 Like the spear of vengeance
 And the star shaped cross
 I still see the signs of
 All that's gone but never lost
 Like the heavens denied us
 We denied ourselves
 But they'll never divide us
 I am yours 'til the end
 When that black day is coming
 And I'm struck by the light
 I'll give all I have left for
 A whisp of the Atlantic
 ♪
 The gloom descends on these whispered bits of nothing
 We arrive shielded by the night
