lyrics

And we were young for a while, that’s all.
What’s done is done — every empire must fall.

We build an altar to the days
When we believed in ‘​Always’
When we said, “I won’t let you go”.

And in the rubble, the wind blows hard
Around the ones who love
Tear us apart,
Just to teach us we’re enough.

We build a tomb to house the words,
The promises, the "forevers",
The “I won’t let you go.”

Requiem aeternam dona ei, domine
Et lux perpetua luceat ei
Requiescat in pace
Amen.

And what is left after such a storm?
Perhaps in death, something new is born.

We build this temple to the Time
She’ll take our bodies, hearts, our minds, so
Together stand before the shrine:

Breathe in, pull me close.
Breathe out, and let go.
