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
