Song With Rose

[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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Here lie the roses in the ashes Deep as the barnacles that cling Just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything 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? [Chorus]
