The Lotus Eater Songtext / Lyric

Liquid is in your throat

For hopeless delight



...

After all you fell in love with death

Life has aborted

All you've had and all you became



The night is calling, you pray forth

A barren waste is your land



Crops they were sown to

Die

The skin is a mirror

The eyes hollow with ignorance



Health runs from your lips

Sucked in and safe from the world of sleep

...



All years caring for a liar

Benefit road is winding higher



You're a moth too close to the fire

...






You are stuck in a route of confusion

Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all

...



Fleeing in sorrows

Pushing your spirit away



...

Sick of the weakness of the psyche



Whisper from the heart of evil

Luring them all into despair



Resenting the goods of a savior

Cries out



Restless will also

Die

A selection culled from the damned

Drawing a lifeline of one

A friend died in your room

And sought the birth of a follower

...

Oh

Oh, brother!

...

You're a killer

and you target yourself

...

I wish you'd never come back

...

for us to see

The beckoning end

(Solo)

And the pride of the mother

Drawn close in a mother's son

And the love from a father

Was used by a father's son

Ah

And the pride of the mother

Drawn close in a mother's son

And the love from a father

Was used by a father's son

...

Ah

Overheard us talking

In a smoke of lost hope

The language of a parting

So clear and so true

...

Overheard us talking
