An Invitation Songtext
von Drought

Last night I heard you sing a loud invitation
In a language I don′t speak
Yet understanding me
I swore it was a poor imitation
But real as it could be
(It could be)
Nakedly apparent
And hopelessly afraid
My skin is tearing open
My body is erased
If I could return in another woman's womb
I′d burn all my belongings and I'd let this be my tomb


Impatient
And circumspect
I did it all so wrong
Yet from a distance in Dravidian dialects
I still hear you sing the same old song
Oh, there it goes again: அன்பே வா
Come on, come home
Now I ascend
I'm trying to forgive
My solitary sin
Still I hear it
Just behind the wall
That legendary call
