lyrics

Used to think we’d live forever,
Give into oblivion,
Oh, to think we’d go together,
Hand in hand and day by day.

Sun submits to stormy weather,
Fires to the morning rain,
And I’ve already lived forever,
I’ve already seen it fall into the flame.

So take to your memory with sharp knives,
Recall every lover from your life,
Standing in line at the front door,
Coming to claim what they paid for,
Something to sell.

Eternity - the fools endeavour,
Invisible - the finish line,
Yeah, I’ve already lived forever,
I’ve already done my time,
It’s behind me.

Dead firebird and the new flame,
Double the love and twice the pain,
The ashes lie still on a bread knife,
Never to stir with a new life,
Never to fly.

Citizens of Nothing and Nowhere!
Burn all your temples - smell the air.
Beautiful angels that wage war,
Nothing’s for sure,
That’s for damn sure.

So take to your memory with sharp knives,
Recall every lover from your life,
All of the white lies that ring true,
Living forever gon’ cost you,
More than your life.
