Lyrics for Gilgamesh

Four degrees off the ground I am lost, forgive me Four degrees off the ground I am lost, forgive me Four degrees off the ground I am lost, forgive me Four degrees off the ground I am lost, forgive me (Only the lonely) Reach out for what remains before you Reach out for what remains at hand For as it was in the beginning So shall it cease at my command (Only the lonely) Now place your head below your waistline Breathe deeply as the pain subsides And with your final breath, remember The day of rest has now arrived (Only the lonely) Oh, my heart will leave you now, surrender Oh, my heart receives you now With arms full of harvest Oh, my heart has fallen for its fear of feelings Stay close to me, my love Theosophy, in elegy love me Oh, my heart will fantasize of Eden My love, my dream, make love to me Surrender your spirit, sing my eulogy Oh, my heart is chained to thee, my angel You haven't seen the last of me My love, I give you everything Four degrees off the ground I am lost without you (Only the lonely) Four degrees off the ground I am lost without you (Only the lonely) I am lost without you (Only the lonely) I am lost without you (Only the lonely)
