hope springs to life 
charmed by approaching listlessness 
hands reaching out 
to grasp the open emptiness 
 
leading me down... 
 
and this goodbye 
faced with hope and countenance 
souls slip away 
to bask in glowing radiance 
 
leading me down... 
 
as we run from the sun 
and we harbour the lies 
and we leave things undone 
as we cover our eyes 
 
does it tear you apart my love 
does it tear you apart my love 
it tears me apart 
 
charmed by this light 
this sombre guidance in her eyes 
rage would entice 
and final moments would arise 
 
leading me down... 
 
does it tear you apart my love 
does it tear you apart my love 
it tears me apart
