We Held On (Extended Version)

The day the ballroom lights
Herald to haunted nights
Were dimmed down all the way

And when the orchestra
Slowed it's song down to a crawl
All dancers stopped mid-stride

As a murmur went through the room
In the eyes of bride and groom
One could see the dread sink in

Our days were warm and filled
With laughs and love until
That dark cloud swallowed us
That day our world stood still

We held on
We held on
We held on

We held on
We held on
We held on

And when they closed the tombs
Everyone hid in their rooms
No more chatter in the hallway

We let the days pass by
Pretended as we don't mind
Pale alright citizens all day

Even now after all these years
It takes nothing to be close to tears
That dark cloud swallowed us
The day our world stood still

We held on
We held on
We held on

We held on
We held on
We held on

Oh, on

We held on
We held on
We held on

We let the days pass by
Pretended as we don't mind
Pale alright citizens all day
