LE VERTIGE (Act II – Song 6 )(VA)

THE VERTIGO (Act II – Song 6) [Intro:] [Verse 1] The silence chills me in the dead of night I who only lived within the noise and light The Light told me to be still and wait But my trembling legs won't cooperate Everything flips, I’m losing my grip Is this what it means for the chains to slip? [Chorus 1:] It’s the vertigo, the leap in the dark The world stops spinning, I’ve lost the spark Between the steel and the glow of the day I’m looking for sense, I’m losing my way I fear the calm, I fear the void My ancient compass is being destroyed. [Verse 2: More nervous atmosphere] I miss the adrenaline already now The burning fuel that guided me somehow Without the schedules, the endless race I feel alone, lost in this space Time screams at me to come back fast Into the prison built to last. [Chorus 2] It’s the vertigo, the leap in the dark The world stops spinning, I’ve lost the spark Between the steel and the glow of the day I’m looking for sense, I’m losing my way I fear the calm, I fear the void My ancient compass is being destroyed. [Verse 3: Tension rising] My hands still reach for screens that glow The illusion of control I used to know But there are no more numbers to gain No medals to chase through the pain Just this void, immense and deep Reflected where I try to sleep. [Chorus 3] It’s the vertigo, the leap in the dark The world stops spinning, I’ve lost the spark Between the steel and the glow of the day I’m looking for sense, I’m losing my way I fear the calm, I fear the void My ancient compass is being destroyed. [Break] [Verse 4:] The Light is waiting, saying nothing more Leaving me alone at destiny's door It knows the shadow still remains inside That I must choose where I abide The factory noise is a siren song Trying to pull me back where I belong. [Chorus 4:] It’s the vertigo, the leap in the dark The world stops spinning, I’ve lost the spark Between the steel and the glow of the day I’m looking for sense, I’m losing my way I fear the calm, I fear the void My ancient compass is being destroyed. [Verse 5:] I can't go back, I can't run anymore I must learn to face what's in store The ground gives way, I’m going to fall... Or maybe, finally, heed the call to fly? Farewell Machine, farewell clocks and dials I dive into the present, past the trials! [Final Chorus:] IT’S THE VERTIGO, THE LEAP IN THE DARK THE WORLD STOPS SPINNING, I’VE LOST THE SPARK BETWEEN THE STEEL AND THE GLOW OF THE DAY I’M LOOKING FOR SENSE, I’M LOSING MY WAY I FEAR THE CALM, I FEAR THE VOID MY ANCIENT COMPASS IS BEING DESTROYED! It’s the vertigo, the leap in the dark The world stops spinning, I’ve lost the spark Between the steel and the glow of the day I’m looking for sense, I’m losing my way I fear the calm, I fear the void My ancient compass is being destroyed. It’s the vertigo, It’s the vertigo, It’s the vertigo, [Outro:] [End]
