lyrics

Long shot, long wind
Blew the fire that gave me perfect light
I'm not saying that the winter will save me

I tried to end the madness but the world kept spinning round
So I stopped worrying and laid my weapons down
You met me in the middle of a cold and darkening day
And said, "Don't wait for me"
I said, "Okay"

Everyone that's ever been born gets a lifetime
I'm not saying that I didn't get enough
But the sins of our fathers keep our stories unclear
And news travels fast around this town
So now everyone knows just how I spent the last four weeks:
With the sin, its razor claws still stuck in me

I tried to end the madness but the world kept spinning round
So I stopped worrying and laid my weapons down
You met me in the middle of a cold and darkening day
And said, "Don't wait for me"
I said, "Okay"
