Between You, God, the Devil and the Dead

Out on the open Over the depths You are the wind and I am the sea Steer steady forward I want to believe You sail us towards security And the waves crave my soul In dreams they swallow me whole Long black waves haunt me in my sleep Long black waves washing over me Call my name pull towards the endless deep Long black waves oh what hides beneath the sea The wheel and the rope Roughen our hands Cracks in the wood will not frighten you Wild is the water High the cry of gulls I’m so afraid of slipping through And the waves crave my soul In dreams they swallow me whole Long black waves haunt me in my sleep Long black waves washing over me Call my name pull towards the endless deep Long black waves oh what hides beneath the sea Mathew, Mark, Luke and John God bless the bed that I lie on The water’s so cold and the waves are high Will you keep me safe till morning light? When I lay me down to sleep I see long black waves and what’s beneath The water’s so cold and the waves are high Is there any hope for a soul like mine? Long black waves Long, long black waves

I have had a strange premonition I put my ear to ground and carefully listen It might be nothing at all It might be everything Might be the deadness Of all this repetition We’ve been here before But I see you better in the dark I don’t need any light Fear kindle not A doubtful spark I see you better in the dark I can feel your imagination Running riot in these rooms, bringing the ammunition Paranoia’s real deep There’s just no sleep It might be the evil gods Or the lack of competition You’re like no one else But I see you better in the dark I don’t need any light Fear kindle not a doubtful spark I see you better in the dark I see you better in the dark I don’t need any light Fear kindle not a doubtful spark I see you better in the dark I see you better in the dark I don’t need any light Fear kindle not a doubtful spark I see you better in the dark

I could never save you We knew that Knew that from the start But inward song you searched for A ready ear And one accepting heart I am a goddess I understand My hair is on fire But I'll take your hand Life is so unfair But you can be sure I will protect you Like no one has before Dancing in slow motion A memory Falling to be free I tried to chase your rhythm Aching from a love You didn't want from me I am a goddess I understand My hair is on fire But I'll take you hand Life is so unfair But you can be sure I will protect you Like no one has before I am a goddess A storm of pain Blew me into a thousand pieces Only love remains

The heart wants what the heart wants And violently defeats you like no other The heart wants what the heart wants Lovers give a kingdom to each other Are you a man sent by god To open the gate of my solitude? Who'll step into it's wilderness And disturb it's natural disorder The answer to all my needs From the solar plexus of our souls Electricity The heart wants what the heart wants And violently defeats you like no other The hеart wants what the heart wants The lovеrs give a kingdom to each other I have been hiding all my life If you open the gate of my solitude Hunt this heart to find endangered species And creatures avoiding the light I do surrender through eternity From the solar plexus of our souls Electricity The heart wants what the heart wants And violently defeats you like no other The heart wants what the heart wants Lovers give a kingdom to each other

Being with the dead All I have to do is think of you Right here in my head Our life still lingers in a shade of blue Being with the dead The very voice of grief Resound and resound With an echo of relief Being with the dead Moving through my body, inhabiting There's no place I'd rather be instead Your part of my skin, my everything Being with the dead A very choir of grief Sound of a thousand voices With an echo of reliеf I will tell my soul to sing There is no еnd ahead I'm alive and I am living Being with the dead Being with the dead All I have to do is reach with all my might here Right inside my head If you drift away I'll pull you in tighter Being with the dead A radiant crown is grief A torch of love Lead towards relief I will tell my soul to sing There is no end ahead I'm alive and I am living Being with the dead I will tell my soul to sing There is no end ahead I'm alive and I am living Being with the dead

Friend of darkness you come through In black and white Tell me are you really real Or nachträglichkeit? Friend of rumination It's the last time, the last I spit you out with gravel And pieces of glass This is the end Till forever and again Until forever and again Until forever and again Something here can not get out Something not right I see you with my inner eye So petrified As you feed me with your poison Feed me dreams, feed me hell I send you off with all my love And bid you farewell This is the end Till forever and again Until forever and again Until forever and again Friend of darkness, you come through In black and white Tell me are you really real Or nachträglichkeit? Friend of rumination It's the last time, the last I spit you out with gravel And pieces of glass This is the end Till forever and again Until forever and again Until forever and again

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Your hearts haunted chambers Are not a home for strangers The phantoms of the past Lead you onward far and fast Where you go they follow And want you To be true Like moths fly close to the light Oh what you’d give For one dreamless night And time heals nothing It’s not your fault Between you, god, the devil and the dead The movie that plays inside your head The secrets The secrets Between you, god, the devil and the dead Only bones and ghosts survive Somehow you got out alive In the absence of forgiveness Can there be decency, can there be rest? Oh what is faith But a leap in the dark Between you, god, the devil and the dead The movie that plays inside your head The secrets The secrets Between you, God, the devil and the dead The secrets The secrets Between you, God, the devil and the dead The secrets The secrets Between you, God, the devil and the dead The secrets The secrets Between you, God, the devil and the dead Between you, God, the devil and the dead
