Dally, dancing with the empty silhouettes of threats

It's not the kind of love that is pinned


Or precious pennies in a tin
Like a medal

There is hope and after that


There is only faith
There is hope, and after that, there is only faith

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...
