Quietus

Lyrics:

Whisper in time
While I dance out of line
I’ve got nothing to hide

The more that I stay
The more I fade away

Listless in your wake
As another evening breaks
To a different world
To when we were invincible
We were invincible

Whisper a tune
While I dance away from view
I’ve got nothing left to lose

The more that I stay
The more I fade away
So meet me round the bend
And dance me to the end
To where we are invincible
We are invincible
We are invincible
We are invincible
