Lyrics:
This is not the end
We will rise again

Death breathes life
Fallen gathered souls
Rising beneath the ash
Into the burning sun

As light fades last
Bear stories of the past

Wounds bloom in the light of your blood
A garden of scars nourished
Petals unfurling in the shadows
Of our shared pain
Roots tangled in the soil
Of sacrifice and despair
Each drop falls like rain
Upon my barren soul

We’ve learned to buy but not to sell
I have the gift of ghosts as well
It grows and grows and grows and grows
The place where all of our love goes
