lyrics
Give me everything.
I’m more than a vessel, the treasure is mine alone.
Do you fear me?
Yes, I am frightened, but also I’m full of love.
I am all you need.
Your silence says other, wise are the ones who seek.
If you idolise...
Then yes I am guilty and guess I’m a heathen too.
Formless, only light, I am bursting.
Faithless, to the last, serving no one.
Boundless, in this sky, I am soaring.
Hailing, not a man, only nature.
Heaven’s gates are near.
A pearl is a stone that can only be found at sea.
Hell is underneath.
A landscape of pain is not a landscape to praise.
Bow down to me.
Why should I kneel, if truly I can ascend?
I will seal your fate.
A monstrous god is as human a myth can be.
Burning, like a star, I am shaking.
Waiting to explode, into crystal.
Weightless, I am love, I am floating,
Through the endless dark of the future.
Hold Sacred.
I’m more than a vessel, the treasure is mine alone.
Do you fear me?
Yes, I am frightened, but also I’m full of love.
I am all you need.
Your silence says other, wise are the ones who seek.
If you idolise...
Then yes I am guilty and guess I’m a heathen too.
Formless, only light, I am bursting.
Faithless, to the last, serving no one.
Boundless, in this sky, I am soaring.
Hailing, not a man, only nature.
Heaven’s gates are near.
A pearl is a stone that can only be found at sea.
Hell is underneath.
A landscape of pain is not a landscape to praise.
Bow down to me.
Why should I kneel, if truly I can ascend?
I will seal your fate.
A monstrous god is as human a myth can be.
Burning, like a star, I am shaking.
Waiting to explode, into crystal.
Weightless, I am love, I am floating,
Through the endless dark of the future.
Hold Sacred.
