Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro (0:00 - 2:19)] [Verse 1] Nothing ever prepared me for this moment Nothing has led up to this ordeal The life I knew is gone - twice over broken And my fate, it must be sealed [Verse 2] How I wish I'd never seen an ocean How I wish I'd never smelled the sea I've never felt so powerless and broken Or less equal, or less free... [Refrain] Oh, but give me Nepenthе! [Verse 3] Every wave a jolt from Mother Naturе Every breeze a challenge and a bait Every day a deluge or a scorching And every singe night a wait... [Instrumental Break (5:02 - 10:32)] [Verse 4] Something fills the air, it's all around us As striking as a bolt out of the blue The impact's nearly rendered us unconscious Laid a mist upon the crew [Verse 5] The radiance warms my soul and makes me dizzy A hazy veil now disguises the abyss Its golden sheen is pregnant with such promise Why it fills my head with blissful numbness Going... gone... [Bridge] I can never go back, I can never go back there I can never go back, I can never go back Oblivion upon your lips - Lethe flows in on your kiss I could never go back, I could never go back there... Laudanum, make me numb... I could never go back, I could never go back there... I could never go back, I could never go back... [Instrumental Outro (14:15 - 16:01)]
