Lethe lyrics

Lethe

Give me to drink of the fluid

that disintegrates

And lend me the sweet balm and blessing

of forgetfulness, empty and strong

[Lethe

Oh, lethe]

Hold me near, unravel the stars

as I speed through the heavens

speed through the night

for you are my blade and my rope

[You are my,]

you are my

Lethe

[You are my all]

In currents of cobalt

you storm through my heart

to sever, to puncture

the memories that burn

Let sweep through the arteries

in sharp stabs of pain

your talonlike fingers to kill me again

[2x]

[kill me again and again and again and again]

Steal me, invade me and charge me again

[again and again, and again and again]

for I burn and I shudder

Burn with each movement of

So, cleansed through a floodlight

I appear; reforged and renewed

caressed by the sweet balm and blessing

of forgetfulness, empty and strong

Lethe,

Hold me near, my one friend and guide

as I drown through your fingers,

drown through your love

for you are the life that I hate

you are my

Drag me down, in passionate sighs

with the ocean above me

and flames in my eyes

and grant me a life I can live

without

[Take me away

Take me away

from the life that I hate]
