All calendars pass, days die off, and hope cannot last 
But if love was like stone, then yours was mine, through to my bones 
But how can we give back to those, with whom we can't live 
When will the flame break and spare the good people it takes

Awe, souls escape fire, they rise higher, souls escape fire, they rise higher 
[Chorus] (riff 3)
