Oblivion Lyrics by Patrick Wolf

The Bachelor

2009

[I hear you...
But I'm not afraid of you]

(I'm not afraid of you)

Father, where's my gun?
Now that the war has begun
Oh let me go it alone
I need no one
I said I need no one

But oh God now here it comes
And it's too dark to aim this gun
Now faster, faster, faster
Once again I'm on the run
And I hear you say "Oh my stubborn son
Heard that you said you need no one?
But don't you see danger, danger, danger
You're headed to oblivion?"

Follow the hunt, far as I could
Through desert weathers, petrified wood
And I took one shot in the dark
Backfired the bullet, silver to heart

And oh God now here it comes
And it's too dark to aim this gun
Now faster, faster, faster
Once again I'm on the run
And I hear you say "Oh my stubborn son
I know that you said you need no one
But don't you see danger, danger, danger
You're headed to oblivion?"

Oblivion, oblivion
Oblivion, oblivion
Oblivion
Oblivion...

[Wait a second...have you come so far, for it to end like this?]

No

[This is the challenge...I dare you, to take a hold of that darkness from deep down in you]

It's dark

[Get back up, what are you so afraid of?]

Wait

[Get back up!]

Okay

And show your face, face to me
Show your face, face to me
Be you my friend
Or enemy
Show your face, face to me

I do not fear oblivion
I do not fear oblivion
I said I do not fear oblivion
Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion...

Father, where's my gun?
I need no one
I need no one
I said I need no one
