Ballad Of the Star Crossed

Don't you let go
Just to be free of their world
There's no us beyond the veil
Of this woe
And if you fade, right where you fall
That's all they'll tell of our tale

Far too late I see, what was, ever will be
Help was never gonna come,
From those who create it's need

I dreamt we broke the code,
Along a bloodless road
But where you lie, that quest will die
along with all its hope, less you...

Hang on, hold fast the light,
Beg life linger, till memories fade
And sorrow floods my days

Won't you please hang on,
Lets cheat our tragedy out of the deal it's made
Please find a way to stay

How did we come so far and end at the start,
Hunted by the foolish fears
That others are haunted by

When all here's said and done
The last word is their gun's
There in that might, the twisted right
That's dimmed your precious light, less you

Hang on, hold fast the light,
Beg life linger, till memories fade
And sorrow floods my days

Won't you please hang on,
Lets cheat our tragedy out of the deal it's made
Please find a way to stay

Don't you let go
Just to be free of their world
There's no us beyond the veil
Of this woe
And if you fade, right where you fall
That's all they'll tell of our tale

Choruses and ad libs out
