our mouths agape and hearts aflame
we shed our tired, worn and dirty skins
we knew no hint of shame

i showed you life, you gave me hope
we fled desperation, despair, dead souls and sin
we found together a whisper of youth again

you were blind to truth or perchance the lies
we turned inward, leaving our backs afraid and bare
we gave to fate our end and shut softly our watery eyes

together lost in cerulean abyss
i found light again rippling, drifting neath the waves
you clutched to the rock that once held firm and saved

deep run currents carried our tears away
to the place where all sorrows, all souls, sojourn for peace
where truth lies loving and deceit just may

our mouths agape and eyes afire
we die in future, we live in past
we sing solemn hymns over our funeral pyre
