lyrics

Our old age was never promised us
Just freckles of light spilled from greater heights
And bodies laid down on irradiated ground
But you cradled my head on our old rotting bed

Never promised but we're both now
Fading long after the world burnt out

With your hand in mine I saw your flickering light
Shouting your name trying to fan the flames
But something chased you down and finally snuffed you out

So I'll breathe in what you left behind
Let the soot coat over my insides

Let those embers breathe and burn
You went first so it's my turn

In those embers I will join you then
In the ash we won't be separate
