Lyrics
Mortal Coil
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.
We are immortal, unstoppable force
Summoned by our maker
Powerless to intervene, hard to be indifferent
Focus on a mission
Are we falling?
Wrapped up in mortal coil
We never know until we go
Only do just what we're told
A spell of good to save a few
And work the clean up crew
Are we falling?
Wrapped up in mortal coil
Close to the beast, pass through the walls
Close at the scene, immortals meet
Dividing the spoils, with hearts of gold
Black in your soul, and passed over you
Picked from below
How can you separate the fear?
How can you not want vengeance
Can't wipe the tears
Farewell to the flesh, trumpets sound in triumph
The gates are gold as promised
Are we falling?
Wrapped up in mortal coil
Oh, we must fly; no time to break away
Bring 'em (to the gates)
