Between last breaths and first regrets

The days dragged on like cigarettes

And the distanced 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 precious 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 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
