Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Our System lyrics

Across the Universe Our system is expanding Crystal velvet void Stained by the disease Empty words and deeds Pleading to the ether Perfect wires and steel Pierced the cold abyss Across the Universe We're reaching out to Heaven Only to perceive No-one there at all Every world we reach Perfect, pure and clean Every word we preach Spoken to deceive Across the Universe We're broken and we're bleeding Pointing to the stars Stolen by degrees Taken to the edge Beautiful, serene Save us from ourselves Delivered from this end
