Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Our System
Across the Universe
Our system is expanding
Crystal velvet void
Stained by the disease
Empty words and deeds
Pleading to the ether
Perfect wires and steel
Pierced the cold abyss

Across the Universe
We're reaching into Heaven
Only to perceive
No-one there at all
Every world we reach
Perfect, pure and clean
Every word we preach
Spoken to deceive
Across the Universe
We're broken and we're bleeding
Pointing to the stars
Stolen by degree
Taken to the edge
Beautiful, serene
Save us from ourselves
Delivered from this end
