Unfailing Welcome To The Voice

Lyrics DIONYSOS Above the tears before the scream invisible and secret scar the true salvation is the human voice beloved voice of the past the forever stifled voice tender echoes lost calls miserable voice whispering voice incantations immaterial instrument attentive mother's darkness lighting lullaby sterile silence cruel disease the despotic gag of hate unfailing welcome to the voice be welcome attractive red fruit of the mouth dangerous message on my skin ether so fluid lighter than air shy caress of fleeting brides' veils on the throat forbidden kisses to drink tyrannic siren virtuoso a cappella or moderato cantabile vocal pleasure pleasure vocal it's the real way to be drunk to desert the commonplace sacred bluesy profane I am slave to the voice unfailing welcome to the voice in every tone a poignant oath voices to pray to fly to escape harmonised the sublimation of our hopes spiritual vehicle of thought the voices bond us I love the voice
