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