Manrico's Abyss

I’m battling curses on Athenian mountainsides
Do you revisit how you said my body could hold your next son?
It’s nice to be turning to astrology again
It’s nice to be raving in the name of you
And in the name of this life-taking
hobby i hate to miss you and i love it too
I’m employed by the dark night of the soul
I have you in my thoughts tonight
Hello darkness, now leave me alone
I value my independence instead of taking the postcard stroll
I sing to the window, I play Manrico’s role
No promise alive to be counted on again
The agent is sold down river, his wife is gone
But did you mean it when you spoke of this time next year
It’s nice to be praying to something that we’ll still be here
I’m employed by the dark night of the soul
I have you in my thoughts tonight
Hello nightmare, now leave me alone
I think up a conversation and a name for the totalizing kiss
I sing to the window, I swim through Manrico’s abyss
I melt on the gravel in a moonbeam with you
We became the sea, it wasn’t called the black sea
But at night they all should be
You’re far away for a long time again
I know that you’re famous don’t forget I’m your man
People like us have Sisyphean duties to
Fall in love everyday
You are my object today and tomorrow
I’m employed by the dark night of the soul
I have you in my thoughts tonight
Hello nightmare, now leave me alone
I value your independence just don’t come back too late
I sing to the window, I wear Manrico’s cape
