The View
Garden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meeting you with a view to a kill.
Face to face, in secret places. Feel the chill.
Nightfall covers me,
But you know, the plans I'm making
Still over see.
Could it be the whole earth opening wide
A sacred why? A myst'ry gaping inside
The weekends; why? Until we

Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams.
Dance into the fire;
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire.

Just for you a view to a kill.
Between the shades, assassination standing still.
The first crystal tears
Fall as snowflakes on your body,
First time in years,
To drench your skin with lover's rosy stain.
A chance to find a phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die, but can we

Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams.
Dance into the fire;
That fatal kiss is all we need.




Dance into the fire.
When all we see is a view to a kill.

The majesty and beauty of deep space. The infinite void stretching before you in all directions...

Magnificent.

you cannot comprehend the nature of our existence.

This is my favorite track in the game and I don't even think it plays in the campaign at all. I just always used to play skirmishes on the Garden map and this is what played. Really defines the beauty of space to me!

KajiTetsushi

No, it does play! You can hear this track in Mission 5: Great Wastelands before and after the big fight against the Taiidan expeditionary fleet.

White Boy Gaming

Same here. Get lost in time with this music.

KajiTetsushi Thanks, I'm gonna have to play the Remastered just to verify! Lolz

White Boy Gaming

Nice!!

Natheria

It makes you think of space as a limitless ocean. Teeming with all manners of life. In all shapes and sizes. Along with masterful environmental wonders such as unique stars, distant worlds, and anomalous subjects.
