As far as the eye can see
The heat is rising off the sand
Somewhere out on this holy land
Time once was held in their hands
But it bleeds now down the mountain red
To the river bank where they burn their dead
And it sinks deep in the blackest sea
To a bed of ancient memory
The incense is sweet
Fills the air this night
Lulls you to sleep
The past and the future are here
In this fever
From the cold star that makes no sound
A cruel poison comes down
As we bathe nude in the wind
Metallic blue becomes our skin
Strange is this magic (the waters make no sound)
Strange is the magic (we lay our bodies down)
Love dark and tragic (we lay upon the ground)
Love is the magic (now we spiral round)
We drink the waters (filled with delight)
The past and future (closed to our sight)
No need for wisdom (words from the sages)
For here is oblivion (come down through the ages)
"You don't come to this place on your own
You're born to this pain, it's your home
It's useless, they say, to run and hide
It's useless, they pay who stay and fight
We didn't come here of our own volition
It's prophecy, apathetic contrition
And we didn't come here of a free will
To grip a silent unknown fear then lay quite still"
We close our eyes (close your eyes)
Turn our face (turn our face)
Close our mind (close your mind)
Now go away (go away)
Shut your eyes (shut your eyes)
And turn away (turn away)
You've closed your mind (close your mind)
But it's here to stay (it's here to stay)
In the flickering blue century
The blue eternity
Blue bombs explode on the screen
Blue arms outstretch as they plead
See the cold star, it makes no sound
As poison comes down
It sinks in the black sea
To a bed of ancient memory
The heat is rising off the sand
Somewhere out on this holy land
Time once was held in their hands
But it bleeds now down the mountain red
To the river bank where they burn their dead
And it sinks deep in the blackest sea
To a bed of ancient memory
The incense is sweet
Fills the air this night
Lulls you to sleep
The past and the future are here
In this fever
From the cold star that makes no sound
A cruel poison comes down
As we bathe nude in the wind
Metallic blue becomes our skin
Strange is this magic (the waters make no sound)
Strange is the magic (we lay our bodies down)
Love dark and tragic (we lay upon the ground)
Love is the magic (now we spiral round)
We drink the waters (filled with delight)
The past and future (closed to our sight)
No need for wisdom (words from the sages)
For here is oblivion (come down through the ages)
"You don't come to this place on your own
You're born to this pain, it's your home
It's useless, they say, to run and hide
It's useless, they pay who stay and fight

We close our eyes (close your eyes)
Turn our face (turn our face)
Close our mind (close your mind)
Now go away (go away)
Shut your eyes (shut your eyes)
And turn away (turn away)
You've closed your mind (close your mind)
But it's here to stay (it's here to stay)
In the flickering blue century
The blue eternity
Blue bombs explode on the screen
Blue arms outstretch as they plead
See the cold star, it makes no sound
As poison comes down
It sinks in the black sea
To a bed of ancient memory
