Apollo Songtext
von Alphaville

Show me a place that ain′t hell
If there's space, give me room to breathe
That′s all that I need
For this body can't fail
And if music be the food of love
Play on, give me excess of it, let it all out
Please let me out of here

And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been tryin′ all my life
To get to heaven
But awoke in the eye of the storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins and return back home


This is a call from the gaols
Coming up to the prisoners of pleasure
Drunk on the blood
Of the next generations
And I′ve been through many strange confusions
Splitting myself into too many faces now
The mirror is broken, I can see the worms behind

But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been tryin′ all my life
To get to heaven
But awoke in the eye of the storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins and return back home


You may well have your ways of triumph
You may well have your ways of truth
(Just gimme some room to breathe)
(Just gimme some room to breathe)
(Just gimme some room)
(Just gimme some room to breathe)
(Just gimme some room to breathe)
(Just gimme some room to breathe)
(Just gimme some room)
That's all that I need (that′s all I need)
That's all that I need (that′s all I need)
Me and my strange friends (take my hand, I take you out of here)
We all belong to that grand astral body (take you out of here)
And there's you behind these legendary curtains (take you out of here)
Take my hand before you wither in the crowd
(I take you out of here)

Take my hand
Give me your hand
Give me your hands
And I take you out of here
I take you out of here

This is the end of the show
I don't know was I wrong, was I right
Oh love, I don′t know
I wasn′t perfect for sure
But now I feel like a new born baby
Lying in the dew of the morning, laughing at the sky
Like a brave new Apollo

And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been tryin′ all my life
To get to heaven but awoke in the eye of the storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins and return back home
Back home
