The Rapture - Lyrics by Siouxsie And The Banshees


Lyrics
O pull on the rein and haul me inback to the start where eyes first blink to see
A flowing mane a cut-glass limband they're falling soaring so rhythmically
O pull on the rein and haul me in back to the startrebirthed in ecstacy with cherubim and seraphim
When I was falling soaring so rhythmically
Falling soaring falling for you so completely
The Rapture unfurling blues and greens
The Rapture a swirling violet streammystic majestic entangled in a web of curling vapour thread
Encaptured by forces unseen
Enraptured an eclipse intoxicatingstrangely not inside strangely not outside
Drowning in the middle of an eerie transition
And I don't know your name
Never been alive yet I haven't died
I hover disembodied in a semi-wakened haze
Floating far above the cloudsinking far below the ground
Only my senses remain
The Rapture unfurling blues and greens
The Rapture a swirling violet streammystic majestic entangled in a web of iridescent curling vapour thread
Floating far above the cloudsinking far below the ground
No form only my senses remain
Wondering if I dare to say your namewondrous thoughts embalmed avow you came
By the crescent disc rising amethysthow can love remain the same unchanged?
Moonlight plays upon this sunken browmidnight ink bleeds wet mercurial clouds
By the crescent disc rising amethystsomnambulist unharnessed storms the plough
By the crescent disc rising amethysthow can love remain the same unchained?
