[Verse 1]
Lit like a candle and we burned so bright
Gods showed their faces and we rolled the dice
Dove to the bottom, drank so deep
Blood black water put us straight to sleep

We prayed for rain and we turned our eyes to the clouds
When the sun came out, man, we screamed out loud

[Chorus 1]
Night becomes the dawn
We were so right, we were so wrong
Worse or better
Looks like forever is not that long
Is not that long
Is not that long
Is not that long

[Verse 2]
The seeds that were planted grew over our heads
Closed like a coffin to protect the dead
Struggled at the shackles, strained at the ropes
Tried to untangle but there was no hope

Learning the steps made us weak instead of strong
Where wolves were many and the shadows long
[Chorus 2]
We shall not part, so goes the song
We were so right, we were so wrong
Worse or better
Looks like forever is not that long
Is not that long
Is not that long
Is not that long

[Verse 3]
Forgot the clock and the time flew past
Blindfolded and chained to the mast
Flew like a rocket, dropped like a stone
Digging in the ground for a stranger's bones

Delivered our lines but our voices went unheard
Until the truth became the devil's word

[Outro]
We shall not part, so goes the song
They were so right, they were so wrong
Worse or better
Looks like forever has come and gone
Has come and gone
Has come and gone
Has come and gone
