Force Majeure Lyrics - Elegy

[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
