[Verse 1]

The moon cascades above, singing

Her name is Selene and she’s a pretty woman

The moon sits high up on her throne, grinning

Her name is Selene… and she’s a vile woman.

Selene’s hair is a waterfall of moon dust and tragedy

It washes down upon the sea and stains my ugly skin

The dust, it burns, across my vessel of brutal insanity

As I watch her from below the depths of revolting sin…

[Chorus]

Oh, Selene, do you sit and watch in merriment-

Does it please you to know that I’m drowning,

To know that I can’t live without your guiding hand?

Oh, Selene, I see you’re in peace in your element

You can rest easy as I am howling,

Shouting at the moon,

As I suffocate in this abyss, begging you to understand.

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

[Verse 2]

Her wretched fangs bore into my skin long ago

Filling me with eternal fear and forbidden rot

She revealed sins of the world I should have never known

My mind forever a cage as she dares to say she forgot

CURSE YOU SELENE

Selene’s wings carry golden secrets and lies

She soars over the sea, as to remind me of all she’s done

She smirks at the sight of my tortured cries

As she retreats home back to her beloved sons

CURSE YOU SELENE

[Chorus]

Oh, Selene, do you sit and watch in merriment-

Does it please you to know that I’m drowning,

To know that I can’t live without your guiding hand?

Oh, Selene, I see you’re in peace in your element

You can rest easy as I am howling,

Shouting at the moon,

As I suffocate in this abyss, begging you to understand.

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

[Bridge]

To drown in the moon

Is to die among the stars,

Surrounded by my taunting mistakes yet alone

Surrounded by her laughter.

As the moon rises soon

And she reminds me of all my scars,

All the times I’ve stood a woman while she became another girl unknown.

I am haunted by the known fact I was once her cursed daughter.

[Chorus]

Oh, Selene, do you sit and watch in merriment-

Does it please you to know that I’m drowning,

To know that I can’t live without your guiding hand?

Oh, Selene, I see you’re in peace in your element

You can rest easy as I am howling,

Shouting at the moon,

As I suffocate in this abyss, begging you to understand.

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)

I’m drowning            In the           moon!

          (drowning)          (in the)         (moon)
