Lyrics
Apollo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Show me a place that ain't hell
If there's space, give me room to breathe
That's all that I need for this body can't fail
And if music be the food of love
Play on, give me excess of it
Let it all out, please let me out of here
And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been tryin' all my life to get to heaven
But awoke in the eye of the storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins and return
Back home
This is a call from the gaols
Coming up to the prisoners of pleasure
Drunk on the blood of the next generations
And I've been through many strange confusions
Splitting myself into to many faces now
The mirror is broken, I can see the worms behind
And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been tryin' all my life to get to heaven
But awoke in the eye of the storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins and return
Back home
You may well have your ways of triumph
You may well have your ways of truth
(Just gimme some room to breathe
Just gimme some room)
That's all that I need!
(That's all that I need)
Me and my strange friends
(Take my hand and I take you out of here)
We all belong to the grand astral body
(I take you out of here)
And there's you behind those legendary curtains
(I take you out of here)
Take my hand!
Before you wither in the crowd
And I take you out of here
This is the end of the show
I don't know was I wrong was I right
Oh love, I don't know, I wasn't perfect for sure
But now I feel like a new born baby
Lying in the dew of the morning
Laughing at the sky like a brave new apollo
And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been tryin' all my life to get to heaven
But awoke in the eye of the storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins and return
Back home
