Apollo - Symphonic Version

By Alphaville

On Eternally Yours

Thumbnail

[Verse 1]

Show me a place that ain't hell

If there's space, give me room to breathe

That's all that I need

For this body can't fail

And if music be the food of love

Play on, give me excess of it, let it all out

But please let me out of here


[Chorus]

And I shall rise from the ashes

Grow like a rose from the ruins

There must be light in the darkness

Hope at the end of the night

Yes, I've been tryin' all my life

To get to heaven

But awoke in the eye of the storm

But I shall rise from the ashes

Grow from the ruins and return back home to you


[Verse 2]

This is a call from the gaols

Coming up to those prisoners of pleasure

Drunk on the blood

Of the next generations

And I've been through many strange confusions

Splitting myself into too many faces now

The mirror is broken, I can see the worms behind


[Chorus]

And I shall rise from the ashes

Grow like a rose from the ruins

There must be light in the darkness

Hope at the end of the night

Yes, I've been tryin' all my life

To get to heaven

But awoke in the eye of the storm

But I shall rise from the ashes

Grow from the ruins and return back home


[Instrumental break]


[Bridge]

You may well have your ways of triumph

You may well have your ways of truth

Just gimme some room to breathe

Just gimme some room to breathe

Just gimme some room

Just gimme some room to breathe

Just gimme some room to breathe

Just gimme some room to breathe

Just gimme some room

That's all that I need


[Interlude]

That's all that I need

Me and my strange friends

You know

We all belong to that grand astral body

And there's you in front of those legendary curtains

Take my hand before you wither in the crowd

And I take you out of here

And I take you out of here

I take you out of here

Just gimme your hands


[Bridge]

Just gimme your hands

Just gimme your hands

Just gimme your hands

And I take you out of here

I take you out of here

Take you out of here, I take you out of here

Take you out of here

Oh, I take you out of, take you out

Oh, I take you out of here


[Verse 3]

This is the end of the show

I don't know was I wrong, was I right

Oh love, I don't know

I wasn't perfect for sure

But now I feel like a new born baby

Lying in the dew of the morning, laughing at the sky

Like a brave new Apollo


[Chorus]

And I shall rise from the ashes

Grow like a rose from the ruins

There must be light in the darkness

Hope at the end of the night

Yes, I've been tryin' all my life

To get to heaven but awoke in the eye of the storm

But I shall rise from the ashes

Grow from the ruins and return back home to you

Back home to you
