In separate folds We're desperate people In spite of ourselves The balance is equal It's time to go back But only to take you Somewhere to grow old Where nothing can break through Our chance to survive The cosmos' winter Will leave them behind A world crushed to splinters We'll snuff out the light And hide in the darkness The closure of pain A final catharsis Find your way Through the mist Where nothing else But only we exist We stem the flow And hold the dawn To step behind it all Beyond When the silence falls at last And the clock tower rings no more We watch the hourglass Trapped like we were before And we'll lay awake in fear Of the past days come again But they'll never find us here Before they burn at this world's end Don't cry for this world bleeding out They've had their day and ours is now The way of absolution is the end The end of all of time So have some faith and let it fade In the past our future's made We'll slip away unseen back to the start To the start again Find your way Through the mist Where nothing else But only we exist We stem the flow And hold the dawn To step behind it all Beyond When the silence falls at last And the clock tower rings no more We watch the hourglass Trapped like we were before And we'll lay awake in fear Of the past days come again But they'll never find us here Before they burn at this world's end
