Lyrics
I Need Protection
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.
Ride into the avalanche
Into napalm fire
Plunging to commanding cold
Swallowed by the storm
Into the torrent surge
Into a flood of fears submerged
Tyrant surge
Like shadows in shadows
Like shapes into shapes of shadow
I need protection
Like water in water
Like sand into worlds of sand
I need protection
Like fog into veils of fog
Look I'm losing form!
Like I can't cohere, like I disappear
The world comes crushing in on me
Like I have no skin to shield me
The hounds of mind turn on me
Biting to kill
Dive down in dense blank, headlong
Feel the hug of nothing
Gaps of darkness multiply
Windows onto hell
Walls of void rise upp
Blinding black spreads shrouds of sleep
Shrouds of sleep
Pressure on pressure on pressure
On tyrant pressure
I need protection
Like nothing in nothing
Like absence absolute
I need protection
Like limbo in limbo in limbo
Voracious limbo
I can glimpse the fields of nescient sleep
Dragons rise up 'round me
Waves of weakness take me
Sucking me under
Sinking in blindness
(From the surface of consciousness)
(Touching non-existence)
(From the surface of consciousness)
Now the bombers role in
I'm the air raid's orphan
