Anywhere Out Of The World - Lyrics by Dead Can Dance


Lyrics
We scaled                              the face of reason                                   to find                               at least one sign                               that would reveal                              the true dimensions                                  of life...                                lest we forget.                   And maybe it's easier to withdraw from life,                   with all of its misery and wretched lies,                                away from harm.                                    We lay                             by cool, still waters                                   and gazed                                 into the sun.                              And like the moth's                             great imperfection,                                   succumbed                              to her fatal charm.                And maybe it's me who dreams unrequited love,                         the victim of fools who watch                       and stand in line away from harm!                             In our vain pursuit                          of life for one's own end                            will this crooked path                             ever cease to end?
