elegy - force majeure lyrics

[van der laars/parry]

known well and favoured
there's no limit to his charm
this illusive adversary, unforeseeable consequences

absurd behaviour, a macabre like frame of mind
living for the moment, not a care in the world

excuses one and more... proclamations he'll make
you must, beware... a hand and arm he'll take
...he'll disregard us all

though in thee we trust
lead us not to temptation
help us one and all
in the company of a force majeure

lead us, lead us not... beyond the realms of our salvation
no sacrifice is more... than following a force majeure

each vow is broken, it's a total waste of life
an urge to lead us on, irresistible strange compulsions
euphoric notions, superior in kind
so irresponsible, for the fun of it all
