The Rapture Lyrics

Oh pull on the rein
And haul me in
Back to the start
Where eyes first blink to see
A flowing mane
A cut-glass limb
And they're falling, soaring so rhythmically

Falling, falling, falling
Falling soaring so rhythmically

Ohh, ohh, ohh-ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh-ohh

Oh pull on the rein
And haul me in
Back to the start
Rebirthed in ecstasy
With cherubim and seraphim
When I was falling, soaring
Falling soaring so rhythmically
Falling, soaring
Falling for you so completely

The rapture
Unfurling blues and greens
The rapture
A swirling violet stream
Mystic majestic
Entangled in a web of curling vapour thread
Encaptured
By forces unforeseen
Enraptured
An eclipse intoxicating
Strangely not inside
Strangely not outside
Drowning in the middle of an eerie transition
And I don't know, and I don't know
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 cloud
Sinking far below the ground
Only my senses remain
Remain

The rapture
Unfurling blues and greens
The rapture
A swirling violet stream
Mystic majestic
Entangled in a web of iridescent curling vapour thread

Ohh, ohh
Floating far above the cloud
Sinking far below the ground
No form, only my senses remain

Wondering if I dare to say your name
Wondrous thoughts embalmed avow you came
By the crescent disc rising amethyst
How can love remain the same unchanged?

Moonlight plays upon this sunken brow
Midnight ink bleeds wet mercurial clouds
By the crescent disc rising amethyst
Somnambulist unharnessed storms the plow
By the crescent disc rising amethyst
How can love remain the same unchained?
