Death Masks

Outlive your youth and you'll old Ashes in the wind In every story fully told Heroes die at the end Our bones were made of glass We were never meant to last Our bones were made of glass We were never meant to last We fashion death masks of friends and idols Silver faces miscast Imperfect memories of fallen heroes Shine much brighter in death We fashion death masks of friends and idols That never look quite right Fallen heroes shine much brighter In death than they did in life Some truths are better left unlearned Ashes on the lake Our youth died the day we learned Our heroes all were fakes Our bones were made of glass We were never meant to last Our bones were made of glass We were never meant to last We fashion death masks of friends and idols Silver faces miscast Imperfect memories of fallen heroes Shine much brighter in death We fashion death masks of friends and idols That never look quite right Fallen heroes shine much brighter In death than they did in life We were never meant to last We fashion death masks of friends and idols Silver faces miscast Imperfect memories of fallen heroes Shine much brighter in death We fashion death masks of friends and idols That never look quite right Fallen heroes shine much brighter In death than they did in life
