These bones are brittle and fragile to the touch
Farewell, the dear departed
Bury all vices and these tired metaphors before our time is over
The chest aches and swells though in eternal sleep
Fret not, my dear
We'll meet again at Saint Peter's gates
Reignite the fires in this frigid heart of mine
Wake me from this slumber

(chorus)
But it was circumstance that was flirting with disaster
And destiny was sharing your bed
Welcome the discontented and fix this sorry soul
With tactfulness and grace

The end starts a new cycle of pain, never-ending pain
In time, you'll see the destroyer of all that's holy
Reignite the fires in this frigid heart of mine
Wake me from this slumber

(chorus)

I'll surrender to flames you started and use them to light my way
I'll remember the thrill of romance, as long as you light my way

(chorus)

But it was consequence
Just promise to light my way
