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 all can 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 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 it together

And how, how they will tell you

Listen to the heart that's

Squelching in your chest there

How hey 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 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 collapse

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 changes

We forget thee tinny taste of hatred

But think about humiliation, a connection to the earth

The earth we leave

For inner space

Become inert and fall away

And changing form

Until we're lost

A constellation of impulse

Swallowed up by a wave we thought we were the crest of

But

There's still a little 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

Not to let this be the end

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

Let's see you go
