Adiemus

The notes crash over me
I throw my head back and cry
Move with me, feel my soul
Screaming for joy, for pain

Feel the tightness of my chest
The pounding of my blood
See my eyes, how dark they become
The song drags me off

I don't want to come back
It loves me here, as I am
Alive, so joyous, dare I cry out
Again the song lives, breathes my

Breath as I scream my heart for love
Can I survive this exquisite
Torture, it goes on and on
Live with me! I cry. Take my soul!

Transcend everything I have come to
Believe in me I say to my heart
It is not mere music that reaches
Mortal ears. It is Heaven!

I AM CRUCIFIED! FREEDOM!
LET ME LIVE, THOUGH IN AGONY!
LET ME FOLLOW YOU AGAIN!
I CANNOT BELIEVE IN THIS

my hearts blood sinks across the floor
i am alive i say alive alive alive
breathe my breath and know that i
am only immortal on the inside.
