lyrics

Down below the marble arch,
Staring eyes of coal.
She was, first to go and last to part,
Nothing left but crows.

Iron ropes cut through my home,
When she knocks my door.
Weary bones upon the throne,
Draining me once more.

Will she be me, and I be you?
Pausing wars only, to resume.
Though we were thrown right into the fire,
I’ll walk myself right along the wire.

By the lane where many grew,
Memories light as snow.
They did stay among the few,
Tales till morning glow.

Darkness did call upon
Asking them for more than they could give.
And as she screamed her cradle song,
They yelled “This is not how we live...”
