Lanterns Fade
When I landed here entire cities fell
Around me hurricanes consumed my cell
I'd never been so free from the lock on my wrist
And I saw the lanterns fade into the mist
As the whispered hate fades in flurries of snow
Every scorching summer seems so long ago
I didn't win but there's no longer a need to fight
Where I see the lanterns fade into the night
A slowly growing path
Of steps that I leave
Deep in the snow
Pale horizons meld
Into my feet
As the masks fall
And you follow me
And you follow me
And you follow me
To see how high we can fall
Into the sunrise, into the storm
To see how far we have come
We know what is out there, we know what is ours
We always know each other as lanterns fade
Old leaves on the ground
Withering faster every year as autumns go
And the memory of snow erodes
In endless glares on endless tarmac fields
Where's your laughter when we're dead
Where's your hand when only its ghost remains in mine
Where's our home when the windows burst
Where's our zeal when lives burn out
At least we have each other when lanterns fade
No one saves the statues from the storm
That sweeps so far below
Even stones will crumble if no one's there
To see what's written down
And will I then fight to see
The day when all has faded away
In the sand, lonely footsteps
Loud storms are close but now there's only moonlight
And I see all the masks fall
As we walked along and saw how high we fell
In the woods, lonely voices
As you sing the songs I thought had disappeared
We are there in the shadows
Playing with the lanterns, letting them fly off
Here on the endless path
Silent as the grave
I chase a dream
Leafless trees
Tower over me
As I start to run
And I follow you
And I follow you
And I follow you
To see how long I can last
Dreaming of the sunrise, fall into the storm
To see how far I will go
I don't know what is out there, but I've known your face
At least I've known your face in the light of lanterns
I've known you
When lanterns fade in the village down the street
Scattered windows open up to barren heat
When water bleeds into endless night skies
And we're still going but you're wondering why
When lanterns fade in the bars along the street
When lanterns fade in the bars around your heart
When lanterns fade in the snap-bone ground
When lanterns fade in the stories of our wounds
When lanterns fade in fog
When lanterns fade in time
When lanterns fade in dusk
When lanterns fade in fire
When lanterns fade
As the trains ground to a silent halt
All the storms and sunlight shrunk into the vault
The rift between us has spanned untold miles
And here in the rain I see your endless smile
Around me hurricanes consumed my cell
I'd never been so free from the lock on my wrist
And I saw the lanterns fade into the mist
As the whispered hate fades in flurries of snow
Every scorching summer seems so long ago
I didn't win but there's no longer a need to fight
Where I see the lanterns fade into the night
A slowly growing path
Of steps that I leave
Deep in the snow
Pale horizons meld
Into my feet
As the masks fall
And you follow me
And you follow me
And you follow me
To see how high we can fall
Into the sunrise, into the storm
To see how far we have come
We know what is out there, we know what is ours
We always know each other as lanterns fade
Old leaves on the ground
Withering faster every year as autumns go
And the memory of snow erodes
In endless glares on endless tarmac fields
Where's your laughter when we're dead
Where's your hand when only its ghost remains in mine
Where's our home when the windows burst
Where's our zeal when lives burn out
At least we have each other when lanterns fade
No one saves the statues from the storm
That sweeps so far below
Even stones will crumble if no one's there
To see what's written down
And will I then fight to see

Loud storms are close but now there's only moonlight

When lanterns fade in the bars around your heart
When lanterns fade in the snap-bone ground
When lanterns fade in the stories of our wounds
When lanterns fade in fog
When lanterns fade in time
When lanterns fade in dusk
When lanterns fade in fire
When lanterns fade
As the trains ground to a silent halt
All the storms and sunlight shrunk into the vault
The rift between us has spanned untold miles
And here in the rain I see your endless smile
