Heaven and hell have both arrived There’s no room for an afterlife The sunset feasts in her own dying eyes There’s no room for ghosts in this crowded sky But to get through this night I made myself believe in an afterlife When morning came, and goddamn, I was still alive What a dreadful fire kindled my insides
I am caught between night and morning here The branch where I hang my fear Is lightning scorched Is crashing down
I’m afraid of everything These walls of stone I’ve seen them bleed and weep Heaven and hell Hold nothing for me When the kingdom comes You can let me sleep
I am caught between night and morning here The branch where I hang my fear Is lightning scorched Is crashing down
You have seen the bird of paradise You will never be the same again Wrap my coat around the child Keep her from the howling wind
Heaven and hell have both arrived There’s no room for an afterlife The sunset feasts in her own dying eyes There’s no room for ghosts in this crowded sky But to get through this night I made myself believe in an afterlife When morning came, and goddamn, I was still alive What a splendid fire kindled my insides
