lyrics

Once upon a foriegn love I wished upon a lie
I prayed beneath the blue above with silence for reply
One way or the other, give me the axe or your hand
Will I still remember you when the madness ends

An empty page stares me in the face
I was born around here but I don’t remember this place
Everyone here’s a stranger but all were once a friend
Will I still remember you when the madness ends

You’re the third knife that I’ve had inside my chest
For what it’s worth you were the last and the best
You know it’s only scars of the skin that ever mend
Will I still remember you when the madness ends

I was given something but I don’t remember how
There was something I needed to do but I don’t remember now
Was it your flowers in your room that I should tend
Will I remember you when the madness ends

You told me something once, something I should know
Something about where the river ends and where the ice winds blow
I wander as a prisoner wherever your cold heart sends
Will I still remember you when the madness ends
