Album: Summoning (2003)

Mortal Coil


We are immortal, unstoppable force
Summoned by our maker
Powerless to intervene, hard to be indifferent
Focus on a mission

Are we falling?
Wrapped up in mortal coil

We never know until we go
Only do just what we're told
A spell of good to save a few
And work the clean up crew

Are we falling?
Wrapped up in mortal coil

Close to the beast, pass through the walls
Close at the scene, immortals meet
Dividing the spoils, with hearts of gold
Black in your soul, and passed over you
Picked from below

How can you separate the fear?
How can you not want vengeance
Can't wipe the tears

Farewell to the flesh, trumpets sound in triumph
The gates are gold as promised

Are we falling?
Wrapped up in mortal coil

Oh, we must fly; no time to break away
Bring 'em (to the gates)
