The Smashing Pumpkins - Haunted lyrics
[The Smashing Pumpkins - Haunted lyrics]
Along the banks of rivers Zion
Sang a fallen and forsworn the chain
Of human rage and let between an ocean rain
And lambs so led, I stayed
If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
Then father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne
Swirling forth, the sea conscripted
Each, the dead and nursery rhyme at voice
A trailing drone
And baptized by the breath of pain
I crossed heart's knave and swore
If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
Then father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne
Swirling forth (Swirling)
The dead and nursery rhyme
If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
Then father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne
Pacific glass, these gifts rend senseless
And knell, repentless
The auger of the cosmic traveler
As god's own straggler
Who's vowed, unopposed
To embody word and shore
Sang a fallen and forsworn the chain
Of human rage and let between an ocean rain
And lambs so led, I stayed
If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
Then father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne
Swirling forth, the sea conscripted
Each, the dead and nursery rhyme at voice
A trailing drone
And baptized by the breath of pain
I crossed heart's knave and swore
If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
Then father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne
Swirling forth (Swirling)
The dead and nursery rhyme
If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
Then father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne
Pacific glass, these gifts rend senseless
And knell, repentless
The auger of the cosmic traveler
As god's own straggler
Who's vowed, unopposed
To embody word and shore
