Lyrics
Sweet cattle eye
Obey your mind
Freedom's a lie
As old as I
Forgive yourself
For giving in
For going through
All that you've been
Just take some space
From everyone
And lose some faith
In human kind
Don't kid yourself
You're not alone
Don't grieve yourself
You're not gone
An alien race
Has an opening
And what we're looking for
You have got within
Your will to live
Is charming
But without us
You're dying
Forgive yourself
For making sense
Everyone else
Got you in this mess
Your name will live through your children
Oh Lilith we're moving in
Ooloi, I cannot say no to you
Ooloi, I cannot say no to you
Ooloi
What can you do?
What can you say?
Oh Lilith, have it your way.
Oh Lilith, have it your way.
