Lovers are blind to the future
Open their hearts to be scarred
Locked in a scene from an endless dream
Never knowing just how near, how far
No honour guard will salute ya
Banished to roam with the stars
There are silent moments
When we just don't' know where we are

This waif called love, (this radiance)
Watches the world go around
In the deep scented twilight of space and time
This wraith called love, (forbade us)
Laughs as we all fall down
Bitter sweet, dented highlights, disgrace and bind

Look for the rose when it's gone
Now it's fragrance lingers on
While the world succumbs to the maze
Cherish the rose when it's done
Trace its cadence in this song
After words, anon, it remains
Religion

Caught in the sights of the shooter
Lessons we just never learn
Hands reaching out touch a naked flame
So we play with fire, our fingers burn
Branded and stoned it refutes ya
Those who survive take a turn
In the headlights frozen
At the sharp end of no return

This waif called love, (this radiance)
Watches the world go around
In the deep scented twilight of space and time
This wraith called love, (forbade us)
Laughs as we all fall down
Bitter sweet, dented highlights, disgrace and bind

Look for the rose when it's gone
Now it's fragrance lingers on
While the world succumbs to the maze
Cherish the rose when it's done
Trace its cadence in this song
After words, anon, it remains
Religion

Don't wait, watch world round in
Deep ahh
Don't wait, laugh all down bit
Sweet ahh
