Empyrean

Delirious, I taste salt in the air and my mind races I feel liquid on, my fingertips as I slowly reach out But who was there? Hello? Where have I been? I no longer can see I'm delirious, well, my angel's gone, where has she gone now?

Delirium, no method of speech as I lose my tongue And as I reach out, I feel grief will follow harm As my mother slips, a double meaning is hiding here again As both hands of mine are sewn palm to palm, there's an outline of her soul

Empyrean, I see nine men hang by their necks from a bridge And these nine unknown, each a circle of Hell that I'm familiar with Oh, Empyrean, I am highest now when I am in your arms Oh, my angel, I am highest now when I am in your arms

And I kept so still, so silent Torn apart and I was crying in your arms I slept so still, so silent Fast asleep and I was lying in your arms And I lay so still, so silent All alone when I was dying in your arms Oh, Empyrean, I am highest now in your arms

Empyrean, your arms Empyrean, your arms Empyrean, in your arms Empyrean, in your arms Empyrean
