About

“Rapture” is the second single from Underoath’s 2018 comeback album Erase Me. Spencer sings about the ecstasy of rapture as a metaphor for some dark love affair. Notably, he doesn’t scream on this track. It’s a redefinition of their direction as a band, relying on standard song structure and a heavy...

Rapture Lyrics

[Verse 1: Spencer Chamberlain]
Old familiar face, that bitter taste
She's been hanging around too long
That crooked tongue, so pale, so young
Makes me warm

[Chorus: Spencer Chamberlain, Chamberlain & Aaron Gillespie]
Take me to the darkness, hang me out to dry
Tangled in your legs, in the webs of your lies
Lead me to the rapture, set my body free
Higher than the flames, set ablaze inside of me, whoa
There's no turning back, there's no coming down
I'm forever lost, there's no coming down

[Verse 2: Spencer Chamberlain]
Oh, I'm skin and bones, pale as a ghost
I know that I should be moving on
But in your embrace, you know I'll never change
Hopeless, I am chained down on my knees

[Chorus: Spencer Chamberlain, Chamberlain & Aaron Gillespie]
Take me to the darkness, hang me out to dry
Tangled in your legs, in the webs of your lies
Lead me to the rapture, set my body free
Higher than the flames, set ablaze inside of me, whoa
There's no turning back, there's no coming down
I'm forever lost, there's no coming down

[Bridge: Aaron Gillespie]
When you call my name, I'm never far away
When you call my name, I know there's no escape

[Chorus: Spencer Chamberlain, Chamberlain & Aaron Gillespie]
Take me to the darkness, hang me out to dry
Tangled in your legs, in the webs of your lies
Lead me to the rapture, set my body free
Higher than the flames, set ablaze inside of me, whoa
There's no turning back, there's no coming down
I'm forever lost, there's no coming down
