Lyrics

1. Opium

Written By: Caroline Lavelle and Brian Hughes

I will cross the wide ocean
Pass beyond the blue horizon
These wild horses know no master
By their will, they fly me ever faster

To cast myself upon your shores
To break myself in wanting more

You become Opium
You become Opium

Upon this rock they’ll wait forever
With pale eyes and lost endeavour
The desert blooms beneath their feet unseen
Their armies beaten by the promise of your dream

They cast themselves upon your shore
They break themselves in wanting more

You become Opium
You become Opium

There is a pain that’s like no other
With ecstasy a loving brother
Your past excesses are unsaid I’ll never ask
I taste your lips, the poison melts, it works so fast

I cast myself upon your shores
I break myself in wanting more

You become Opium
You become Opium
You become Opium

You become Opium
