PLAYN FOR KEEPS - OUR ILL-FATED ELAN VITAL Lyrics

Under one moon
We captured lightning in a bottle
For one moment lost in time,
All was right with the world
Harmonic convergence
Peace at the center,
True to the core
Scourged by reality,
Ebbed by disdain,
Steeled by hostility
A sound so pure,
Like the cries of a banshee
Foretelling the death of a dream
Harmonic convergence
Peace at the center,
True to the core
Scourged by reality,
Ebbed by disdain,
Steeled by hostility
A sleep-stealing revenant,
Dancing to the tune of breaking hearts
Above caverns of loss
Last gasps of pneuma
Whisper in decay,
Reciting accursed incantation
Over the corpse
Of our ill-fated elan vital
