[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

[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

[Bridge]
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?

[Chorus]
There is hope, and after that
There is only faith
Love like a wraith
Never made me afraid
Consoled as I was
Consoled as I was
Consoled as I was
By that shade
