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
verse 2
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
Post-Chorus
Here lie the roses in the ashes
Deep as the barnacles that cling
Just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything
verse 3
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
Outro
Consoled as I was by that shade
