I will cross the wide ocean Pass beyond the blue horizon These wild horses know no master By their will, they fly me ever faster To cast myself upon your shores To break myself in wanting more You become Opium You become Opium Upon this rock they'll wait forever With pale eyes and lost endeavour The desert blooms beneath their feet unseen Their armies beaten by the promise of your dream They cast themselves upon your shore They break themselves in wanting more You become Opium You become Opium There is a pain that's like no other With ecstasy a loving brother Your past excesses are unsaid I'll never ask I taste your lips, the poison melts, it works so fast I cast myself upon your shores I break myself in wanting more You become Opium You become Opium You become Opium You become Opium
