This is a rough transcript. Corrections are welcome.


Between last breaths and first regrets

The days drag on like cigarettes

And the distance martyrs and martinets

Dally dancing with the empty silhouettes the 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 ???


There is hope and after that

There is only faith

Love like a wraith

Never made me afraid

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
