In the end our skeletons will dance in the kaleidoscopic light in the dead of the night And in the end our shadows will leave, cast away to meet in the dead of the night Out of the blue and into the black Silence softens when we look back It's just another breath Count from one and on to 10 Turning back before we begin It's just another breath Ahh, and the soul drifts away And the heart, stops Got an infinite love and we're barely hanging on They'll love it when you're gone They'll love it when you're dead and gone You got me Coming home when we turn back Lightning strikes and it all went black It's just another breath Count from 10 and down to one After all, there still is none It's just another breath Ahh, and the soul drifts away And the heart, stops Got an infinite love and we're barely hanging on They'll love it when you're gone They'll love it when you're dead and gone You got me Don't let the shadows take your breath Got an infinite love and we're barely hanging on They'll love it when you're gone They'll love it when you're dead and gone You got me

Broken hearts don't last in time, they say And I'm feeling like mine's about to break Nothing from the past ahead of us now, anyway I'm feeling like the night's about to take They want to watch us tear apart They want to watch us now But love won't save us now My broken heart won't last This broken heart was made to last Shattered hearts will mend in time, I say Yet I know now that's not the case Dark clouds before us, I find my way I see the shadows fall into place They want to watch us tear apart They want to watch us now But love won't save us now My broken heart won't last This broken heart was made to last Love breaks us down Love builds us up But love won't save us now My broken heart won't last This broken heart was made to last

So it goes again The silence of my friend On the night it all came to an end So it goes again Drown me in my sorrow Drown me in my grief All I want is you to know Now forever I sleep And I'm dancing in the shadows of a broken heart Moving through the darkness keeping us apart I'm dancing with shadows And we can take the darkness and tear it all apart And free myself from this broken heart I'm dancing with shadows So it goes again The ripples of my mind On the night the stars misaligned So it goes again Drown me in my sorrow Drown me in my grief All I want is you to know Now forever I sleep And I'm dancing in the shadows of a broken heart Moving through the darkness keeping us apart I'm dancing with shadows And we can take the darkness and tear it all apart And free myself from this broken heart I'm dancing with shadows Body and soul And I'm dancing in the shadows of a broken heart Moving through the darkness keeping us apart I'm dancing with shadows And we can take the darkness and tear it all apart And free myself from this broken heart I'm dancing with shadows

Tempted heart, mind and soul Had it all but you wanted more Glimmer of light out of the black Heading out, never coming back So dark Calling out Dark sky blue Coming for you They won't find us tonight And you never felt so alive Wondering if you could've died In my arms In my hands With my soul The romance ends And scatter when the lights go out And shatter all your thoughts about This life that never ends After the fall and into the night You and I can never die Break the chains of mortal life You and I will never die So dark Calling out Dark sky blue Coming for you They won't find us tonight And you never felt so alive Wondering if you could've died In my arms In my hands With my soul The romance ends And scatter when the lights go out And shatter all your thoughts about This life that never ends Tempted hearts will find a way Don't tempt my heart again Don't tempt my heart with golden days Tempted hearts will find a way Don't tempt my heart again Don't tempt my heart So dark Calling out Dark sky blue Coming for you They won't find us tonight And you never felt so alive Wondering if you could've died In my arms In my hands With my soul The romance ends And scatter when the lights go out And shatter all your thoughts about This life that never ends

As long as we have love in our hearts We'll never be lonely We'll never be alone And when the shadows of my mind scream out in silent times I'll never be lonely I'll never be alone What is tearing me apart Is coming from an empty heart It all goes dark Inescapably loveless Breaking out of an escapable love Loveless How could I be loveless? As long as I believe in my heart I'll never be lonely I'll never be alone And when the brightness of my eyes see through the darkest time I'll never be lonely I'll never be alone What is tearing me apart Is coming from an empty heart It all goes dark Inescapably loveless Breaking out of an escapable love Loveless How could I be loveless? As long as we have love in our hearts we'll never be lonely As long as we have love We'll never be lonely We'll never be alone And we'll never be loveless Breaking out of an escapable love Loveless How could I be loveless? Inescapably loveless Breaking out of an escapable love Loveless How could I be loveless?

Out of the darkness Out in the night You and I 'til the morning light When we go dressed in black One way ticket Never coming back You always follow the light Now somewhere lost Out in the night Nothing more to be said Nothing more to be known What's keeping us alive? Don't think it's More than this Never needed more than a kiss It wouldn't be so bad Only the love we had Forever, and ever It wouldn't be so bad Only the love On my mind and in my dreams You and I live behind the scenes Unwanted whispers and baited breath Realize there's nothing left You always follow the light Now somewhere lost Out in the night Nothing more to be said Nothing more to be known What's keeping us alive? Don't think it's More than this Never needed more than a kiss It wouldn't be so bad Only the love we had Forever, and ever It wouldn't be so bad Only the love

Sometimes I think about if we were ghosts Sometimes I think of the night You were scared hiding under the notes Could have been forever that night But do you really want to live forever? Do you really want to live the lie? We can open our hearts and live now or never We could be forever tonight We could be forever tonight What you spoke about so long ago I never thought that you would be right Here I am with heart hung low We could be forever tonight But do you really want to live forever? Do you really want to live the lie? We can open our hearts and live now or never We could be forever tonight We could be forever tonight And the world will never realize The tears in our eyes And we could be forever tonight

What does it mean to be human? Dancing 'cross a man-guard screen Nothing more than another's dream Are we? Are we? Are we? We are a dancing, dancing, dancing dream What does it mean to be human? Dancing through another's lie Nothing more than another night Are we? Are we? Are we? We are a dancing, dancing, dancing dream Dance, human, dance What does it mean to be human? Dancing 'cross a man-guard screen Nothing more than another's dream Are we? Are we? Are we? We are a dancing, dancing, dancing dream Dance, human, dance

Love (chant) When the heart is kept restrained And the fire slowly fades Reminds you of a different place No lights from above to be spoken of And all we have is love Love will bring us closer to Love will keep us open to The love we have The love we lost Nothing left but love And if we listen to the heart What will we find? What will we feel? Is no match for what's real And there's no lights from above to be spoken of And all we have is love Love will bring us closer to Love will keep us open to The love we have The love we lost Nothing left but love With every beat of my heart With every beat of my soul With every beat of my love Love will let you go Love will bring us closer to Love will keep us open to The love we have The love we lost Nothing left but love

When we were young we never thought it could be like this Goodbye, my darkness Goodbye, my darling When we were young we started with hope but we left with nothing Goodbye, my darkness Goodbye, my darling And it begins to break apart between here and heaven and hell Could have been a nightmare, a fairytale, could've been In the end only our love will remain Now that we're older it was always going to be like this Goodbye, my darkness Goodbye, my darling Now that we're older and the hope we started with has fallen Goodbye, my darkness Goodbye, my darling And it begins to break apart between here and heaven and hell Could have been a nightmare, a fairytale, could've been In the end only our love will remain
