Live Without

A light so bright in eyes and heart
Filled with dreams and life and love
And I don't want to live without it
I don't want to live without it
A scarlet rush of power
Surging till I cannot get enough
And I don't want to live without it
I don't want to live without

A warm hand in my grasp
A child's laugh
And all those ticker-tape parades
Replaced by icy fingers
And lust as empty as an unused grave

Your breath upon my chest
Cementing bonds no earthly force could break
And I don't want to live without it
I don't want to live without it
A cruel voice whispering
Of kings and wars and wives and lives to take
And I don't want to live without it
I don't want to live without

A warm hand in my grasp
A child's laugh
And all those ticker-tape parades
Replaced by icy fingers
And lust as empty as an unused grave

So now I finally seize the chance
To make something more of myself
Beyond the chains of morals
And constrictions of wealth

Now I can taste the tears
Still hot upon your quickly cooling flesh
And I am going to live without you
I am going to live without

A warm hand in my grasp
A child's laugh
And all those ticker-tape parades
Replaced by icy fingers
And lust as empty as my unused grave

So now I'll seize the chance to prove
I'm more than just a hollow man
So full of all the greed
And hatred of the damned
