Lyrics

Black Lake (Strings)

From Vulnicura Strings (The Acoustic Versions – Strings, Voice and Viola Organista Only)2015

Lyrics

Black Lake (Strings)

[Verse 1] Our love was my womb But our bond has broken My shield is gone My protection is taken I am one wound My pulsating body Suffering being [Verse 2] My heart is enormous lake Black with potion I am blind Drowning in this ocean [Verse 3] My soul torn apart My spirit is broken Into the fabric of all He is woven [Verse 4] You fear my limitless emotions I am bored of your apocalyptic obsessions Did I love you too much? Devotion bent me broken So I rebelled Destroyed the icon [Verse 5] I did it for love I honoured my feelings You betrayed your own heart Corrupted that organ [Verse 6] Family was always Our sacred mutual mission Which you abandoned [Verse 7] You have nothing to givе Your heart is hollow I'm drowned in sorrows No hope in sight of еver recover Eternal pain and horrors [Verse 8] I am a glowing shiny rocket Returning home As I enter the atmosphere I burn off layer by layer
