Lyrics

VERSE 1a
A virgin-white orb, a turquoise sky – invisible flames sear the air;
An unending horizon of featureless sand – a fight for this piece of nowhere.

VERSE 1b
The silence that reigns supreme is shattered by a wounded flying machine.

CHORUS 1
“Mayday oh Mayday - help me I’ve been hit”;
“Losing height can’t control it – I’m going into a spin”;
“I cannot see – there’s blood in my eyes”;
Nothing, no one replies - white silk floating free.

VERSE 2a
A sanguineous hand shades the eyes that have the power to see;
That what is real is not this but a pasture floral and tree’d.

VERSE 2b
A young girl stands by a stream and she wears a frock all spun in cream.

CHORUS 2
“Mayday oh Mayday” – soft arms embracing me;
“Losing height”, lips form a smile – “I’m going into a spin”;
“I cannot see” – misty green eyes meet;
Nothing - but ecstasy - cream silk floating free.

BRIDGE
“Oh God above in Heaven - have you forsaken me?”
“Visions torment my spirit, Hell’s fire burns my body”;
“Take the dice and spin the Wheel of Fortune one more time”;
“The Reaper’s scythe hangs over me - an end without a rhyme”,

CHORUS 3
“Mayday oh Mayday - help me I’ve been hit”;
“Losing height can’t control it – I’m going into a spin”;
“I cannot see – there’s blood in my eyes”;
Nothing, no one replies - white silk floating free.

OUTRO
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday oh Mayday;
Help me, help me, oh help me please;
I can’t see, I can’t see, I just cannot see;
White silk floating free……………..
White silk floating free.
