Spirit in a Vacuum Songtext

von Mortiis

Mental Maelstrom beckons me
To fall into the core
The centre of the universe
Mocks me forevermore

(feminine):
Who awoke the engine
When I could not find it's key?
Who landed me upon this place
This island in the sea?

Four or five thousand clouds
All inside my head
I'm looking for the mind I had
How long has it been dead?
Eighteen thousand Million years
With aeons in between
Cannot save me from my fears
Of things I might have seen

(feminine)

What did you see?
Who did you see?
(Don't want to go back to that place
Don't want to go back to my soul)
My spirit in a vacuum
Spirit in a vacuum

Mental Maelstrom, that is you
You've killed my inner sun
The sacrifices that I made
I want them all undone
You put the engine back to sleep
When I thougth I'd found the key
Now that I am stranded here
You return to misery
Four or five thousand clouds
All inside my head
I'm looking for the mind I had
How long has it been dead?
How can I kill the alien mind
That tries to be me
I've seen the vacuums eye
And now I see the thing that I be

What did you see?
Who did you see?
(Don't want to go back to that place
Don't want to go back to my soul)
Spirit in a vacuum
My spirit in a vacuum
