Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When darkness falls
May it be
That we should see the light
[Verse 2]
When reaper calls
May it be
That we walk straight and right
[Verse 3]
When doubt returns
May it be
That faith shall permeate our scars
[Verse 4]
When we're seduced
Then may it be
That we not deviate our cause
[PreChorus]
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
[Chorus]
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live forever
[Verse 5]
When all is pain
May it be
It's all we've ever known
[Verse 6]
When flame consumes
May it be
It warms our dying bones
[Verse 7]
When loss has won
May it be
It's you I'm madly fighting for
[Verse 8]
When Kingdom comes
May it be
We walk right through that open door
[PreChorus]
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
[Chorus]
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live forever
[PreChorus]
All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash
[Chorus]
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live, we can live forever
[Outro]
Return to ashes, shed this skin
Beyond the black, we rise again
We shall live forever
