Spirit In A Vacuum Lyrics - Mortiis

Mental Maelstrom beckons me, 

To fall into the core. 

The Centre of the universe, 

Mocks me forevermore. 

Who awoke the engine when i could not its key? 

Who landed me upon this place, 

This island in the sea? 

(There's) 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. 

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. 

My 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. 

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. 

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.
