Death starts like a dream

So infinite, beautiful, and sad

You're there in the chapel

And the sun is fading to black

Its brilliance surrounds us

With outstretched arms

So blinded by the sadness

You're feelings sliding so hard

Am C

You grasp towards fluorescence

G F Em

Still slipping yet holding so tight

Am C

Let's bask in the shadows

And welcome the night

Welcome the night

D Am C

We survived, we are here

So welcome the night
