ASP - Bones lyrics

The stormy sea spat you
Out call it elevation!
Scavengers' feast in the
Sand - a bloody celebration
The stage is set on the
Rocks for some revelations
You pray for the tide to come
A cloudless sky's waiting for you
The night has faded
Your eyes are dry and your lips are moving
Dehydrated
The capability of speech may be overrated
You can't escape from the burning sun

You try to raise just one
Hand with the slowest motion
To shield your face
Realizing you can't reach the ocean
Is all this punishment for
Your lack of devotion?
A stranger on a strange land
You had to leave
This is all 'bout determination
Learn how to breathe or
You'll die by asphyxiation
There is no oxygen left
This means intoxication
You have been thrown out of the deep end

Out of the blue and black
There is no turning back

Bones thrown down by a giant
Waiting to be read, stolen from the sea
Bones! Stop being defiant
Or you'll never get your own prophecy! Bones
Red an ivory tokens
Drying in the sun, irony of fate bones
Messed up and all broken
Crawl if you can't run, it is not too late

What will you do? Has there
Been a gathering of wisdom?
The hungry skuas are watching
You wouldn't miss them
It may be time to become
Part of the ecosystem
What have you left to give?
You've left your cave
But it wasn't your own decision
There once was faith or
Maybe it was superstition
It all could end here and
Now without any mission
It doesn't matter in what you believe!

Out of the blue and black
There is no turning back

Bones thrown down by a giant
Waiting to be read, stolen from the sea
Bones! Stop being defiant
Or you'll never get your own prophecy! Bones
Red an ivory tokens
Drying in the sun, irony of fate bones
Messed up and all broken
Crawl if you can't run, it is not too late

A long, long way a zig-zag course
Which we have travelled for so many years
On endless days with no remorse
This life has forced you to
Cope with your fears

So, leave this shore! The tower is waiting
And you have to follow it's call once more
It yould be too late
But the answers lie within it's walls
You'll see there is no other way
Get up! You know you cannot stay
Here in the sun you have no choice
There is no rest it's in your bones
Your final quest has just begun

Out of the blue and black
There is no turning back

Bones thrown down by a giant
Waiting to be read, stolen from the sea
Bones! Stop being defiant
Or you'll never get your own prophecy! Bones
Red an ivory tokens
Drying in the sun, irony of fate bones
Messed up and all broken
Crawl if you can't run, it is not too late

Bones thrown down by a giant
Waiting to be read, stolen from the sea
Bones! Stop being defiant
Or you'll never get your own prophecy! Bones
Red an ivory tokens
Drying in the sun, irony of fate bones
Messed up and all broken
Crawl if you can't run, it is not too late

It's not too late

Es ist nicht zu spät
