lyrics

alone together in these halls
of concrete crumbling
with the hours by which
we wage this war

enemy mine, this reflection
in your eyes
looks hollow and tired

[ you and i, struggle
to stay above the waves
of burdens as they rise ]

a sonorous tolling breaks the chill
decades d e s c e n d ing
racing to the deep
of this nightmare sea

breathing deep
as the walls close in
the scent of survival
tastes heavy on our lips

decades descending
racing to the deep
of this nightmare sea
[ between what's left of u and me ]

somewhere,
somehow,
some time

i'll see you through
unbroken eyes
as if for the first time

do you still feel alone?
do you still feel alive?

enemy mine, this reflection
in your eyes
looks hollow and tired

breathing deep
as the walls close in
the scent of survival
lies heavy on our lips
if i could see clearly
through these long sunset shadows
i might find my way back home
to you

somewhere,
somehow,
some time

i'll see you through
unbroken eyes

right here
i don't care how
this is the time

breathe me deep, while we're still alive

decades, laying in the deep
of this nightmare sea
between what's left of you and me

tell me, is there something left of you
is there somthing left of me?
tell me

concrete crumbling
as decades carry us away
is it to a better place?
there has to be
a better way.
