lyrics
the air was static charged
you could hardly breathe
the night she reappeared
as if from the sea
her hair hanging like darkness
a car pulled into view
more than two metres wide
the windows tinted blue, i strained to see inside to
trace her silhouette the lines that mark her passing by
don’t say that i was only dreaming
i’d know her anywhere, i know what she can do
a drop of evil in the sweetest kiss
call her the bride of the abyss
(and now) you sit and stare so gone you’d
watch your thumb on fire
each night to lie awake
your mouth turned desert dry
and count the distant sirens as they mark her coming closer
and no one can comfort you
you know she’s come for you
to join her in her vicious games
there’s no escape from her it always ends the same
don’t say that i was only dreaming
i’d know her anywhere, i know what she can do
a drop of evil in the sweetest kiss
call her the bride of the abyss
you could hardly breathe
the night she reappeared
as if from the sea
her hair hanging like darkness
a car pulled into view
more than two metres wide
the windows tinted blue, i strained to see inside to
trace her silhouette the lines that mark her passing by
don’t say that i was only dreaming
i’d know her anywhere, i know what she can do
a drop of evil in the sweetest kiss
call her the bride of the abyss
(and now) you sit and stare so gone you’d
watch your thumb on fire
each night to lie awake
your mouth turned desert dry
and count the distant sirens as they mark her coming closer
and no one can comfort you
you know she’s come for you
to join her in her vicious games
there’s no escape from her it always ends the same
don’t say that i was only dreaming
i’d know her anywhere, i know what she can do
a drop of evil in the sweetest kiss
call her the bride of the abyss
