The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »

He breaks the spell still young
Awakes from out this dream of life
And leaves us sleeping
Storm racked blind consumed

By phantom pale displays of grief
He slips from out this shadow land of pain
Where heads grow sorrow grey
And age destroys all hope

And spirits crushed
Lament and hide away

But wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
"what death may join no more let life divide"

"dream yourself awake" he calls
"eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me... "

He breaks the chains still young
Dispels the hateful shades of treacherous time
And leaves us sleeping
Tortured mute

Devoured by ghostly shapes of life
He slips from ties of dust
To be the world we dream he lives
A part of everything we feel

The young and beautiful
And brave of heart

But wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
"What death may join no more let life divide"

"Dream yourself awake" he calls
"Eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me... "

"Dream yourself awake" he calls
"Eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Forever... "
