Apollo - Alphaville

Show me a place that ain’t hell

If there’s space, give me room to breathe

That is all that I need

For this body can’t fail

And if music be the food of love

Play on, give me excess of it

Let it all out!

Please let me out of here

And I shall rise from the ashes

Grow like a rose from the ruins

There must be light in the darkness

Hope at the end of the night

Yes, I’ve been trying all my life to get to Heaven

But awoke in the eye of a storm

But I shall rise from the ashes

Grow from the ruins

And return back home

This is the call from the gaols

Coming up to the prisoners of pleasure

Drunk on the blood of the next generations

And I’ve been through many strange confusions

Splitting myself into too many faces

Now the mirror is broken, I can see the worms behind

But I shall rise from the ashes…

You may well have your ways of triumph

You may well have your ways of truth

Just gimme some room to breathe

That’s all that I need

That’s all that I need, me and my strange friends

Take my hand and I’ll take you out of here

We all belong to the grand astral body

And there’s you behind these legendary curtains

Take my hand before you wither in the crowd

I’ll take you out of here

Take my hands, take my hands

This is the end of the show

I don’t know, was I wrong, was I right?

Oh, love, I don’t know

I wasn’t perfect for sure

But now I feel like a new-born baby

Lying in the dew of the morning

Laughing at the sky, like a brave new Apollo

And I shall rise from the ashes

Grow like a rose from the ruins

There must be light in the darkness

Hope at the end of the night

Yes, I’ve been trying all my life to get to Heaven

But awoke in the eye of a storm

But I shall rise from the ashes

Grow from the ruins

And return back home

Back home
