The Absence Lyrics
"Maelstrom"

We all bleed the same inferno
Devouring like a welcome burn
And a common rage while most break
We dive right down the long road
Of labour and hate

When we all speak
In the same distorted speech
The world will burn

[Solo - Peter 0:56]

[Chorus:]
Holocaust of fire
You are the maelstrom in flight
The rising flames that consume us whole
Calling out to us from below

Come down and join us in the glow
Born with a force unbreakable
Engulfed in warfare where the welfare keeps
Where I will live and die, maelstrom complete

When we all speak
In the same distorted speech
The world will burn

[Solo - Patrick 2:04]

[Chorus:]
Holocaust of fire
You are the maelstrom in flight
The rising flames that consume us whole
Calling out to us from below

[Chorus:]
Holocaust of fire
You are the maelstrom in flight
The rising flames that consume us whole
Calling out to us from below

[Solo - Peter 3:13]

Now we all speak
In the same distorted speech

[Solo - Tom 3:34]
[Solo - Patrick 3:47]

[Chorus:]
Holocaust of fire
You are the maelstrom in flight
The rising flames that consume us whole
Calling out to us from below

Calling out to us from below
Calling from below
