Down by the sounding sea Drawn to the lure of a siren's melody to the tempting sweeping of the waves to the calling of a mellow grave Yon all wonder and yon all dreams Can't strive against giving in And she siren angelique invoke my endless sleep
Come with me into the deep I'll lead you on through the seas of infinte sleep
I stand upon the sweeping shore A frozen heart won't thrive no more A velvet voice is calling me yon this scornful deep blue sea Take my hand, I'll follow thee into the sombre placid deep Beyond the waves and far beneath where I can rest, forever free
I'm going under In writhes I'm going down in a lunar sea on the siren's night Beneath the surface I choke...tenderly drown and a thousand scornful sirens come around
Fear the sounding sea Don't give in like me...
2. Save Me From Myself (Remix)
Save me now before my world falls Save me now from myself before the dawn
Save me now I'm at the reaper's door Can't you see you hold the key to set my mind free...
3. Meridian (Acoustic)
Daylight adorn her withering lifeforce with a long lost river that mend all her woe in its flow
May I redeem my funereal self in thy mirror of soul sanctorum to frame every night a delight
Thou stalk the ground, the sea and the winds around to haunt me down profound when the night surrounds Thou stalk the Stygian stream and the riverine to haunt my hallowed fields and astrayal dreams
I'm at sixes and sevens in the shade of thy heavens No moon, nor sun Meridian prevail in my oblivion
Come with me to seek the sun inside Meridian This time around we dance We're chosen ones
Thou stalk as the unseen in visions undreamed to revel in the deep of life's malignity Thou stalk my manic mind yon it's horizon to draw that waning sun upon Meridian
Thou art eternal darkness Thou art eternal heresy Thou art day and night Thou art the flame inside I'll make my misery thy saturnine
4. First We Take Manhattan
[Originally performed by Leonard Cohen]
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom For trying to change the system from within I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like your fashion business mister And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin I don't like what happened to my sister First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby I love your body and your spirit and your clothes But you see that line there moving through the station? I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
And I thank you for those items that you sent me The monkey and the plywood violin I practiced every night, now I'm ready First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
