Between last breaths and first regrets<br>
The days dragged on like cigarettes
The days dragged on like cigarettes<br>
 
In the distance martyrs and martinets<br>
And the distanced martyrs and martinets
Dally, dancing with the empty silhouettes of threats<br>
 
<br>
Dally dancing with the empty silhouettes the threats
So, where but heaven does love end<br>
 
And where on earth does it begin<br>
 
It's not the kind of love that is pinned<br>
 
Like a medal<br>
So where but heaven does love end
Or presses pennies in a tin <br>
 
<br>
And where on earth does it begin
There is hope, and after that, there is only faith<br>
 
Love like a wraith<br>
It's not the kind of love that is pinned like a medal
Never made me afraid<br>
 
Consoled as I was by that shade...<br>
Or presses pennies in a tin (?)
<br>
 
Here lie the roses in the ashes<br>
 
Deep as the barnacles that cling<br>
 
Just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything<br>
There is hope and after that
<br>
 
In that other still forever<br>
There is only faith
In that time before the past<br>
 
I told myself we'd be together<br>
Love like a wraith
Can you promise me that it will be eternally?<br>
 
<br>
Never made me afraid
There is hope, and after that, there is only faith<br>
 
Love like a wraith<br>
Consoled as I was by that shade
Never made me afraid<br>
 
Consoled as I was<br>
 
Consoled as I was<br>
 
Consoled as I was by that shade...<br>
Here lie the roses and the ashes
 
Deep(?) past the barnacles that cling
 
Just like a lace(?) that runs through everyone and everything
 
 
 
In that other still forever
 
In that time before the past
 
I told myself we'd be together
 
Can you promise me
 
That it will be eternally
 
 
 
There is hope and after that
 
There is only faith
 
Love like a wraith
 
Never made me afraid
 
Consoled as I was
 
Consoled as I was
 
Consoled as I was by that shade

lyrics for
Song With Rose

Between last breaths and first regrets
The days dragged on like cigarettes
In the distance martyrs and martinets
Dally, dancing with the empty silhouettes of threats

So, where but heaven does love end
And where on earth does it begin
It's not the kind of love that is pinned
Like a medal
Or presses pennies in a tin

There is hope, and after that, there is only faith
Love like a wraith
Never made me afraid
Consoled as I was by that shade...

Here lie the roses in the ashes
Deep as the barnacles that cling
Just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything

In that other still forever
In that time before the past
I told myself we'd be together
Can you promise me that it will be eternally?

There is hope, and after that, there is only faith
Love like a wraith
Never made me afraid
Consoled as I was
Consoled as I was
Consoled as I was by that shade...
