The Cure - Adonais lyrics

rate me

he breaks the spell still young

awakes from out this dream of life

and leaves us sleeping

storm racked blind consumed

by phantom pale displays of grief

he slips from out this shadow land of pain

where heads grow sorrow grey

and age destroys all hope

and spirits crushed

lament and hide away

but wordless watch the soft sky smile

and breathless hear the low wind sigh

"what death may join no more let life divide"

"dream yourself awake" he calls

"eternity awaits us all

open your eyes and be with me

be with me... "

he breaks the chains still young

dispels the hateful shades of treacherous time

and leaves us sleeping

tortured mute

devoured by ghostly shapes of life

he slips from ties of dust

to be the world we dream he lives

a part of everything we feel

the young and beautiful

and brave of heart

but wordless watch the soft sky smile

and breathless hear the low wind sigh

"what death may join no more let life divide"

"dream yourself awake" he calls

"eternity awaits us all

open your eyes and be with me

be with me... "

"dream yourself awake" he calls

"eternity awaits us all

open your eyes and be with me

forever... "
