Lyrics[]

Standard version[]

Our love is a secret
Our love is a word
Something unspoken
But perfectly heard

Our love is a whisper
Our love is a breeze
Something always silent
Like the song of the leaves on the trees

Our love is a secret
Our love is a breeze
Something better left unspoken
Like the song of the leaves on the lonely trees

Come with me and we know love
We'll show you and we will teach you
Take my hand and learn from us
We'll touch you and we will reach you

Come with me and we know love
We'll show you and we will teach you
Take my hand and learn from us
We'll touch you and we will reach you

And you'll know love forever
And you'll know love forever more
Forever more

Voyager now
Surveyor of ruins
Beautiful mutants
Voluptuous acrobats
Psychotic magicians
Mescaline cowboys
Renegade angels
Amphetamine prophets
Satanic lords
Celestial scavengers
Anarchist bike boys
Glittering gods and ravaging saviors
Unholy acrobats
Queens of the night
Rock and roll Aryans
Alchemical freaks

Voyager now
Surveyor of ruins
Off to a million midnights
Black, black voyager
Off to a million tomorrows
Black and black
Seek and find the unchanged children
Send them back
Send them back!

(Spoken)
Let me take you away from all this.
Nothing will ever happen.
You shouldn't be so negative. Something will happen. I’m sure of it.

Our love is an ancient secret
Our love is a gentle breeze
Some things better left unspoken
Like the song of the leaves on the dying trees

Our love is an ancient secret
Our love is a gentle breeze
Some things better left unspoken
Like the song of the leaves on the dying trees

DOTV demo version[]

Come with me and we know love
We'll show you and we will teach you
Take my hand and learn from us
We'll touch you and we will reach you

Come with me and we know love
We'll show you and we will teach you
Take my hand and learn from us
We'll touch you and we will reach you

And you'll know love forever
And you will live forever more
Forever more

DOTV live version[]

Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day, escape the light
Break the chains of imagination

Come with me and we know love
We'll show you and we will teach you
Take my hand and learn from us
We'll touch you and we will reach you

And you will live forever
You will live forever more
Forever more
