Lyrics
Pompeji
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.
Deep in the bottomless depths of the ocean
Empty bodies we sink
Open your eyes, you smile and release me
We slip down beneath and
Jesus Christ, you watch us fail
We raise our glasses and drink in hell
Locked in the core of the tower, I'm patient
In no hurry to leave
Life has been lonely, it might be forever
Making hard to believe in
Jesus Christ, we hold you to blame
You gave your life, but we died in vain
And ooh, we drink from the fountain of intent
And ooh, we choke on the water, then repent
In the street violent behavior
In chaos where it's warm
Black omens call our cage, it's electric
So we signal, we wait for
Jesus Christ, God raised you as
We raised our glasses and drank in hell
Ooh, we sip from the fountain of intent
And ooh, we choke on the water, then repent
Ooh, we drink from the fountain of intent
Ooh, we choke on the water, then repent
