[Verse 1]
Candles flicker in the grand hall,
the empty echo of our communion.
I watch you breathe for the very last time,
counting the seconds left standing.
And the chill of the crypt begins to creep in,
there is no sanctuary left to escape to.
The great clock strikes the final hour...
Do you want to live for eternity,
when sin is the only truth?
If death comes to tear us apart,
leave me by your side in the sea.
I don't want a heaven where you aren't,
I prefer the fire that burns at your feet.
Is this forever?
Is this forever?
[Verse 2]
The hands of the clock refuse to turn,
it is time to leave this world behind.
Your cold fingers brush against my skin,
if the archbishop denies us absolution...
let us celebrate our damnation together.
And the chill of the crypt begins to creep in,
there is no sanctuary left to escape to.
The great clock strikes the final hour...
Do you want to live for eternity,
when sin is the only truth?
If death comes to tear us apart,
leave me by your side in the sea.
I don't want a heaven where you aren't,
I prefer the fire that burns at your feet.
Is this forever?
Is this forever?
Absolve Domine!
The final hour has arrived!
Do you want to live for eternity,
when sin is the only truth?
If death comes to tear us apart,
leave me by your side in the sea.
I don't want a heaven where you aren't,
I prefer the fire that burns at your feet.
Is this forever?
[Outro]
Forever...
Beneath the shadow of the clergy.
