Lyrics

The fight is over

The skin has cooled

The sweat has turned rancid

And soaked into clothes, now stained and stinking

And the skull once full of fire

Has turned its insides

Into placid black volcanic glass

And we can all catch our breath back

But no flux of colour, smell, touch or recollection

No friends again, no death by halves

No, it was way too easy, it was far too hard

No, that's why it lasted, that's why it ended

Where infinite destinies converge upon a fixed point

And then just disappear into the blue

But there's still a little bit of blood in the smile

Still a little bit of shine on the bruise

A little warm red ember remembered under the skin

A little glisten to the blistering too

A little bliss and ecstasy yet to

Squeeze out of the days that we have left

A glint in the middle of the black eye

Still a little bit of fire in my breath, split in two

However brave, however brief and painless

However loved, however long awaited

However kind, however celebrated

However survived, and however grateful

However fearless, however final

However destined, however trialled

However beautiful, however mended

How the hell ever got here together

And how, how they will tell you

Listen to the heart that's squelching in your chest

There, how they will tell you do your best

For a little sick simpering tyrant

Inside the cavity cowering

There's still a little anger left for the righteous

A little love left out in the wild

Still a little bit of blood in the smile

Still a little bit of shine on the bruise

A little warm red ember remembered under the skin

A little glisten to the blistering too

A little bliss and ecstasy yet to

Squeeze out of the days that we have left

A glint in the middle of the black eye

Still a little bit of fire in my breath

But death to all kings, comes death to all kingdoms

Comes empires collapsed, the end of days

The fall of Rome, the wreckage, all is coming home

The cruelty and sadness that accents the

Landscape's language gradually change

As we forget the tinny taste of hatred

But think about humiliation, a connection to the earth

The earth we leave for inner space, the common earth

We fall away in changing form until we're lost

A constellation of impulse swallowed up by a wave

I thought I was the crest of

But there's still a little bit of blood in the smile

Still a little bit of shine on the bruise

A little warm red ember remembered under the skin

A little glisten to the blistering too

We are trying our hardest not to let this be the end

But if you want to transcend, let's see you dance then

Let's see you go
