Lyrics

The Nephilim

Swing through sadness
Tears of joy
Curse the sunlight
Arsenic for the girls and boys.
Drink the madness
Smoke so coy
Smile injection
Serum of a will destroyed
Serum of a will-
Serum of a will destroyed
The seasons change-change without me.
I remain ...
In shadows growing wings.
The spirit song still surrounds me
In refrain ...
In shadows growing wings.
[ x2 ]
Like an angel with two broken wings - woa
Reach to the sky again. - woa
Like a devil meant for better things -woa
I will find my place on high
The seasons change-change without me.
I remain ...
In shadows growing wings.
The spirit song still surrounds me
In refrain ...
In shadows growing wings.
