歌词:
In the days of the Son of Man,
it was much as it was in the days of Noah.
They ate, they drank, they married,
and they would be married until the day when Noah entered the ark.
And then came the flood to destroy them all.
It was similar to Lot's days.
They ate, they drank, they bought and sold, they planted and built,
but on the day when Lot went out of Sodom,
it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
It will be the same on the day when the Son of Man will be revealed.
Whoever seeks to preserve his life loses it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
I tell you, in that night two people will be in one bed.
The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
(Luke 17:26-30, 33-34)
[A Scene in Brown and Yellow:]
At first I don't know why your presence fills me with unease
Though I've missed you more than Life itself, I freeze
It's like youâve been lost and now youâre glad to see my face
But as you sit down my confusion turns to distress
Not knowing how to let you know that you are dead
(I wake up sweating)
They tell me you are better off where you are now
Well, I don't care
They tell me that your pain is gone where you are now
Well, you left it here
See, I need to be strong
I need to be brave
I need to put faith in something
How could I live on
not hoping we will meet again?
[A Scene in White and Grey:]
Under the icon's weight the old thoughts lay
Under the cross so still and pale
The flowers usher the stale breath of Death away
And someone tries to sing,
but the bird of song has lost its wings
Now it twitches
Rips the stitches of a chest where tears are torn
And where all loss begins
Life seems too small when Death takes its toll
I need something to blame for this pain
[A Scene in Amber - Flawed:]
And have you ever had that dream
where one you love passes away?
And you wake up crying to a world
where she's long since gone
But you feel the pain so close
as if she'd died today
But I need to be strong,
I need to be brave
I need to put faith in something
How could I live on
not hoping we will meet again someday?
Earth to Earth, Dust to Dust
A verse we know too well
Like a nursery rhyme - Just in reverse
'Cause we are all the little tin man
with hearts like little tin cans
And as we line them down with tears,
over the years they inevitably turn to rust
Life seems too small when Death takes its toll
I need something to blame for this pain
I try, I fail, I fall, like anyone you know
I break, I bleed, like anyone you know
[A Scene in Blood on White:]
Where the linen's changed just for tonight
and somehow we beat her to this sight
This ghostly room of Exit
that she enters by the flicker of candle light
And in her breast
A desert storm is taking form
An old thirst that can never be quenched or killed
sweeps over the cold
Broken but thousandfold
"My Love!"
