Lyrics

OPIUM


I will cross the wide ocean

Pass beyond the blue horizon

These wild horses know no master:

By their will, they fly me ever faster

To cast myself upon your shores

To break myself in wanting more

You become Opium

You become Opium


Upon this rock

They’ll wait forever

With pale eyes and lost endeavour

The desert blooms beneath their feet, unseen

Their armies beaten by the promise of your dream

They cast themselves upon your shore

They break themselves in wanting more

You become Opium

You become Opium


There is a pain

That’s like no other

With ecstasy a loving brother.

Your past excesses are unsaid

I’ll never ask-

I taste your lips

The poison melts

It works so fast

I cast myself upon your shores

I break myself in wanting more

You become Opium

You become Opium
