Rapture - Two Dead Names lyrics

one day darkness showed up at my door

ate the light, closed my world

told me the demons where here

and that i was wrong

all along

everything washes away

fear and despair

never knew what they meant

until the black

came my way

in our full circle

we fed each other

in the fall

in this cold year

that consumed the strength, the will

with so little to hold near

if i was the sky

would i hold you dear

(or come crashing down)

two dead names waiting

two dead names

reaching out with cold hands

wishing it would all come together

(in a final infinite white)

two dead names screaming

two dead names

"And so I leave this world, where the heart

must either break or turn to lead."

[Nicolas-Sebastien Chamfort (1741-1794)]
