Bring Me Back from the Black Beyond

[Chorus] Bring me back from the Black Beyond I shall respond Breaking through the boundary I'm so glad you found me Bring me back from the Black Beyond That shallow pond Swimming through the briny Girl, if you don't find me Throw another line in Promise that you'll come for me [Verse 1] Birth follows death, follows birth, follows death Follows birth, follows death, can you hear what I say Through the static as it rattles down this metal telephone I'm in limbo don't you know? [Verse 2] Death is a quest – you can cheat it if you strive To find a living person on the other side To help you to get back to it Call me up 'cause I'm in need Don't wanna end up like a loser strung out on my bеliefs [Pre-Chorus] The falconer rеsists, then the falconer retires The falcon is long dead, it is lost to the gyre The ferryman cries at the building of a bridge "The future equals fear," he says, sighs into his drink His children walk that bridge, tread the decking everyday It's the one and only route left to their father's grave [Chorus] Bring me back from the Black Beyond I shall respond Breaking through the boundary Bring me back from the Black Beyond That shallow pond Swimming through the briny Girl, if you don't find me Throw another line in Promise that you'll come for me [Verse 3] It last forever, then it's gone And with murder in our hearts You said you'd come for me, no harm [Verse 4] Life holds no meaning here in the realm of death As love holds no meaning in the realm of hate Don't wanna end up a spectre strung out on my beliefs I'm taking charge of my own estate [Pre-Chorus] Reverse the rainbow (Reverse the rainbow) Retract the sword (Retract the sword) Recharge the raygun (Recharge the raygun) Revoke the word (Revoke the word) Make way for my quantum resurrection They never paid me what I'm worth, so pay me some attention Take me to the moon now (It'll be OK) A crater on the moon now (Oh-oh you're gonna come for me) [Chorus] Bring me back from the Black Beyond I shall respond Breaking through the boundary Bring me back from the Black Beyond That shallow pond Swimming through the briny Girl, if you don't find me Throw another line in Promise that you'll come for me [Outro] 'Cause birth follows death, follows birth, follows death Follows birth, follows death, can you hear what I say Through the static as it rattles down this metal telephone (I'm in limbo don't you know) Birth follows death, follows birth, follows death Follows birth, follows death, can you hear what I say Through the static as it rattles down this metal telephone Bring me back from the Black Beyond
