lyrics

I loved you when the sky was young
From the darkling void where light first sprung
Tonight, tonight

And I've chased my dreams along your tongue
And writhed in wait with bottled lungs
Tonight, tonight

And I won't rest
And I can't sleep
And I won't leave
Until you're with me

There's a symphony of sighs
Etched in the swirls of your burning eyes
I see a melody painted in front of me
With inks and dream-kissed moans and the air it sings

(There's a crack in the world tonight)
(Can you hear it? I can)

From behind a lonely cloud
Moonlight accents our tangled limbs
Our bodies on this bed a passioned fresco

(There's a chance in this world tonight)
(Can you feel it? I can)

Coming up from the ground below
A wellspring unveils these bones
You shatter me when you batter me with your loving screams

Losing ourselves in this oblivion
Losing ourselves in this landscapeless void
Losing ourselves in this forever

(Ich habe das nie geplant...)
(Es ist jetzt egal)

Falling up through my toes I find
I found sight where they are blind
Eyes fed with clarity;
A yearning to be complete
I feel you move, you crumble to create me

(There's a crack in the world tonight)
(Can you hear it? I can)

This once hollow form is more than mass
Burn our fears, burn our past
I've become more than man,
two doses, twice the human

There's a chance in this world tonight
Can you feel it? I can
I can free you from him
Take my hand

Losing ourselves in this oblivion
Losing ourselves in this landscapeless void
Losing ourselves in this forever

Meet me tomorrow and we'll escape

So this pact we'll make in the gaining light
To claim our hopes now, we'll take flight...
Tonight, tonight
