[Verse 1]
In the beginning, in the days before time, the light was alive with the essence of power
And from that power were born beings who lived on the edge of eternity
And they spread their wings and soared through the ancient air
And the beating of their wings made the winds
And from the winds came the seas
And from the sea came the life of the earth

[Verse 2]
Nature's cast upon the sea the winds of past, of promise be
Waters deep uncover me
A scheme of sleep as lovers three

[Verse 3]
If you'll forgive me my ferocity, I won't forget your sweetness
Pull down the night, lay it before me
Gratify my head with curses

[Verse 4]
Night recalls tranquility
A curtain falls and sets it free
Darkness calls eternity
Down silent halls the shadows flee

[Verse 5]
If you'll forgive me my ferocity, I won't forget your sweetness
Pull down the night, lay it before me
Satisfy my head with curses

[Chorus]
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget

[Verse 6]
Fates are cast upon the sea
The winds of past of promise be
Waters deep uncover me
A scheme of sleep as lovers three

[Outro]
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
