lyrics

And so for us the dark is here, resigned to fate, the longest wait
The final night, all others gone, just we two to count 'til dawn
Until the light, until the rite
And final words are said
All stories have to end

So Cellmate, what have you to tell ? What has brought you here ?
Mute for want of words? Parley remembered lives
The player's final lines
Scenes fade to black and blue
What have we to lose ?
Tell me what have we to lose ?

As the silence we postpone
And the bleached and whitened bones
Awaiting us

We await the dawn, the righteous sun to rise
Ironclad to walk, prayers one last time
No more regrets, nothing we would change
Before reduced to names upon a page
No more than names on a page

And so until the light, and so until the rite
And final words are said
All stories have to end
We fade to black and blue
Meanwhile we can choose
What have we to lose ?
