Lyrics for Lilac

Laying low Seeking time Landlocked Port of freedom The devil's own Paying the price All set up to begin Torpor It called us in Into the dead stream Giving up on true belief Forget now the last objective Lower the final dream Into the rigid water of submission We came close We were close To lilac time Chronotype Events in June Our lantern Diluted by the void The devil's drum Lashing hard Beating like my heart To pull you back in Into the dead stream Giving up on true belief Forget now the last objective Lower the final dream Into the rigid water of submission We came close We were close To lilac time The river of Lethe Dreary and cold It broke my body and destroyed my soul All our memories, love Reduced to vapour
