[Intro – Female Soprano] The world was ending quietly Beneath a sky of fading grey Only the distant bells remained Calling the forgotten away [Verse 1] They said the final day had come The seas were dying The stars had dimmed The cities stood like empty graves Beneath the silence Cold and still Yet there you stood With white flowers in your hands And in your eyes No fear remained [Chorus] So keep your blessings Keep your prayers Tomorrow waits for no one here Knowing the end was drawing near Still you spoke my name Still you stood beside me [Verse 2] The gardens withered long ago No birds would sing No children play The wind carried the scent of rain Across the ruins Of yesterday The sky was ash The oceans dark Yet somehow you were beautiful [Chorus] So keep your blessings Keep your prayers Tomorrow waits for no one here Knowing the end was drawing near Still you spoke my name Still you stood beside me [Bridge – Female Soprano] Ave... Ave... Ave... [Final Chorus] No promises of endless years No distant future left to hold No dreams beyond this dying day Only your hand inside my own The bells were ringing One last time As heaven faded into dust Amid the ruin of the world We became husband and wife [Outro] And a few hours later The world was gone
