Erasure – World Be Gone

The offi­cial video for 'World Be Gone', the second single taken from the latest 'Erasure' album 'World Be Gone’.

Lyrics:

Before we ever seize the day
The calm­ing of the season's end
Life becomes a hid­den play
Imparted with a furt­ive glance
Was it everything you'd dreamed it'd be
Or illu­sions shattered into glass

World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you prom­ised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you stand­ing there
Holding your head in your hands

Though it hurts to say goodbye
Silver lin­ings in the leaden sky
One day we'll return again
And surely we will make amends
Consequences nev­er seen
Broken shad­ows on an empty screen

World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you prom­ised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you stand­ing there
Holding your head in your hands

World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you prom­ised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you stand­ing there
Holding your head in your hands
