Lyrics.

     I heard you callin’      on the megaphone,

     you wanna see me all alone.

     As legend has it, you      put on quite a show –

     you light the match to watch it blow.

And if you’d never come for me

     I might’ve drowned in the melancholy.

     I swore my loyalty to me (me), myself (myself), and I (I),

right before you lit my sky up.

All that time

I sat alone in my tower,

you were just honing your powers,

now I can see it all. (see it all)

Late one night

you dug me out of my grave and

saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia.

(Ophеlia)

Keep it one hundred on the land (land),

thе sea (sea), the sky,

pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.

Don’t care where on Earth you’ve been (been)

cuz now (now), you’re mine.

It’s ’bout to be the sleepless night you’ve been dreamin’ of –

the fate of Ophelia.

     The eldest daughter      of a nobleman,

     Ophelia lived in fantasy.

But love was a cold bed      full of scorpions –

     the venom stole her sanity.

And if you’d never come for me (come for me)

I might’ve lingered there so endlessly.

     You wrap around me like a chain (a chain), a crown (a crown), a vine, (a vine)

pullin’ me into the fire…

All that time

I sat alone in my tower,

you were just honing your powers,

now I can see it all. (see it all)

Late one night

you dug me out of my grave and

saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia.

(Ophеlia)

Keep it one hundred on the land (land),

thе sea (sea), the sky,

pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.

Don’t care where on Earth you’ve been (been)

cuz now (now), you’re mine.

It’s ’bout to be the sleepless night you’ve been dreamin’ of –

the fate of Ophelia.

‘Tis locked inside my memory

and only you possess the key.

No longer drowning and deceived –

all because you came for me.

Locked inside my memory

and only you possess the key.

No longer drowning and deceived –

all because you came for me…

All that time

I sat alone in my tower,

you were just honing your powers,

now I can see it all. (I can see it all)

Late one night

you dug me out of my grave and

saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia.

(Ophеlia)

Keep it one hundred on the land (land),

thе sea (sea), the sky,

pledge allegiance to your hands, (your hands)

your team, your vibes.

Don’t care where on Earth you’ve been (you’ve been)

cuz now (cuz now), you’re mine.

It’s ’bout to be the sleepless night you’ve been dreamin’ of –

the fate of Ophelia.

     You saved my heart from the fate of       Ophelia…
