Intro:        verse 1 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 N.C. Consoled as I was Consoled as I was by that shade
