A dark congregation
Of familiar faces
Gathered around the quiet earth
A red rose
Fell upon the soft snow
Prayers were whispered so slow
From our mouths

Our breath rose in the cold, like a hundred souls escaping

Save me, I'm swallowed by the guilt of this (You're gone)
Sleeping in the dust
We will not let time erase us

We are surrounded
By all of the quiet
Sleepers inside the quiet earth
A fear that
I cannot shape, you
Dared to kiss the face
Of the night

Our lips were cold as clay, we couldn't speak anyway

Save me, I'm swallowed by the guilt of this (You're gone)
Sleeping in the dust
We will not let time erase us

Our breath rose in the cold, like a hundred souls

We, we are alone
I know you're gone

Save me, I'm swallowed by the guilt of this
You're gone
Sleeping in the dust
We will not let time erase us
