Answer
Dear Ferdy,

VOX was performed by Canadian singer/songwriter SARAH McLACHLAN out of her 1988 debut album TOUCH. SARAH's biggest were 1998's ADIA and 1999's ANGEL which was featured in the 1998 movie CITY OF ANGELS. Both were from her 1997 album SURFACING.

Here's its lyrics:

VOX / Sarah McLachlan

In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare
But your words cut loose the fires and you left my soul to bleed
And the pair that's in your death's receiving me has got me scared
Oh why?
Through your eyes the strains of battle like a brooding storm
Your up and down these pristine velvet walls like focus never forms
My wake is getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray
Near you now a vague deception of a dying day
I fall into the water and once more I turn to you
and the crowds were standing staring faceless cutting off my view
They start to simply flail their bodies in twisted mime
And I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain
You're gone and I'm lost inside this tangled entwined
Web in which I'm lain entwined


Maraming salamat po!!
