Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence,
Like the moonless dark, meant to make me strong.
Familiar breath of my old lives
Changed the color in my eyes,
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by.

Sorrow lasts through this night,
I'll take this piece of you,
And hold for all eternity.
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me.

Left alone with only reflections of the memory,
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me.
Sitting closer than my pain,
He knew each tear before it came,
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by.

Sorrow lasts through this night,
I'll take this piece of you,
And hold for all eternity.
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me.

And we kiss each other one more time,
And sing this lie that's halfway mine.
The sword is slicing through the question,
So I won't be fooled by his angel light.

Sorrow lasts through this night,
I'll take this piece of you,
And hold for all eternity.
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me,
And up into the stars.

Joy will come!
