Mortal Coil Lyrics


VERSE 1:

All I see with passive eyes

Assassin of hope defined

Last in line, self inspired,

Perpetrates the final crime

PRE CHORUS:

Death it seems will be my answer

End to pain by my hand chosen

Lost, all thought for my survival

Wound received, now I lie broken

VERSE 2:

All I hear with tired heart

Reasons for my sacrifice

Dark refrain repeats again

As this perfect victim dies.

REPEAT PRE CHORUS

CHORUS:

As I leave this mortal coil

See no reasons to return

Mind serene, I say goodbye

To the scars they left behind

Downward spiral that I ride

Oldest friend of this short life

When I leave this mortal coil

Your face I'll see as darkness falls.

VERSE 3:

Trust lies dead, my honour dies

The killing blow to tortured mind

All the knives that pierce my sides

Gifts from those I leave behind

REPEAT PRE CHORUS & CHORUS
