"Gravitas" lyrics - ASIA

I. Lento

[Instrumental]

II. Gravitas

Once, you were in my arms, feeling so secure
Nothing could go wrong, the sense that I belong
This grand illusion
Now, I come to ask you please, I crawl upon my knees
A serpent on the ground, waiting for the bell to sound

See, where the rot began, imagine if you can
My hedonistic world, the grand master of delusion
Now, love has gone to hell, it disappeared from view
Still under your spell, but one thing I demand from you

Gravitas, just give me dignity
Gravitas, retract your claws from me
Gravitas, just give me dignity
Gravitas

So, standing on this ledge, I wonder where you are
Are you still alive, or did you die inside, just like me?
Go, oh dark angel fly, off into the night
Leave my tainted soul, don't look left or right
You will see

Gravitas, just give me dignity
Gravitas, retract your claws from me
Gravitas, just give me dignity
Gravitas

Gravitas, just give me dignity
Gravitas, retract your claws from me
Gravitas, just give me dignity
Gravitas
