Current 93 - Twilight Twilight Nihil Nihil lyrics

rate me

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

There is no refuge

I have found the word does not save

There is no refuge

In the rock or stone

There is no refuge

In the wind or other forces of nature

The fire especially especially does not save

The fire only destroys

And though it may purify it takes takes takes

And gives nihil back nihil, nihi,l nihil, nihil, nihil

And the holybooks alas have not

Will not alas can not save nihil nihil nihil

This is the chorus of the wind

The sun the moon the waters all blue all green or stagnant

Nihil they sing nihil

The inmost light nihil, nihil

The inmost light nihil, nihil

The inmost light nihil

Finally the child aged dies and sings

Nihil this swansong towards nothing

Nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil

We need not not not blow out the candle

Nihil, nihil

It dies anyhow

Nihil, nihil, nihil

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Nihil, nihil, nihil

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Nihil call me nihil, nihil

The stars are so far

I had thought not but nihil, but nihil

The great king is dead

The great queen is dead

Their child stillborn

And so nihil nihil nihil nihil

They call the inmost light

But hear nihil, nihil, nihil

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Nihil, nihil, nihil

I felt I saw you coming over the water

Without you I am nothing

And still I see you

Nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil

In the room where

Nihil, nihil, nihil

The wineglass shattered in the box I gave it to you

Nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil

Shattered

Nihil

I thought I saw you waving to me over the bay

Nihil, nihil, nihil

You waved

Nihil

Why we have no words any longer

To say to one another

Your mouth opens and

Nihil, nihil, nihil

Bend your face to kiss you said nihil

Bend your arms to hold you said nihil

And nihil, nihil, nihil

There is nothing there

Nihil, nihil, nihil

Bend your face to kiss you said

The waters arise and take me finally

And my remembrance is

Nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil, nihil
