lyrics

As the day is long the nights are longer when our hope starts to fade
They left no stone unturned, no trail unfollowed yet we stand here empty.
You left us at bay at the gates.
You sealed our fate.
You’ve sealed your fate.

A cold embrace.
The waves wrapped around your soul to take you away.
The arms of the sea rhythmically lull you to sleep.

Forevermore.
Eternally blue the everlasting deep. Forevermore.
Love lost is impossible to keep.

She still hears your voice in her sleep.

I am pacing round these four walls
That have always housed my sanity.
My inner guilt is slipping through the cracks.
I could never turn back.
Hearts stop beating when your fears come true.
We never thought we would ever lose you.

Reality has burdened me.

Reality has burdened us with this.

We grasped our hands just to slip away again
Perpetual sorrow personified.

Why must we feel this way? You ended your pain...so why do I still feel this weight?
We’ll carry the flame, it won’t be the same
But we’ll cherish every second,
It won’t fade away...

Why must we feel this way? You ended your pain...so why will I always feel this way?
We won’t extinguish your flame but it won’t be the same.
So this song will always scream your name.

My friend how I long to be with you again
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face..
Time gave us these memories whilst tearing them away from me.
I hope to see you standing at the end
grasping at where it all began.

Once absent but whole again.
