lyrics

let us draw in here for a moment
yeah put away all of your sadness
let us leave it here for a while
'cause in here it is madness

and you know it's never really
very far away
and that's all the more reason
to dance while it's still day

and you find these dreams awakening
and they shine to run their course
so much for this thing called life
tracing it back to it's source

yeah you loved me to the finest hour
and then through thick and thin
on such wreckage and ruin
your spirit did descend

yeah one eye for the saviour
the other for a thief
it was the bread of cheers
it was a meal of grief

between something once remembered
what was just too easy to forget
once you said that you had for me a gift
but i was not holding my breath

it was flowing from the five wounds
from the well of truth
bracing like the wind
it was two hundred proof
