Against the Day

We were lost on the map
 We marked our path but we can't get back
 And here on the beach
 The night believes it is endless
 All is calm now
 Seconds fade but the centuries remain, love
 We are standing
 Against the day
 ♪
 Against the day

 You can walk into town
 See the same old scene always going down
 Along the arcade
 A thousand flowers bloom and fade
 All is calm, love
 Every change is a brand upon the brain here
 We are standing
 Against the day

 Against the day
 ♪
 Friend, isn't it so strange
 How the only things that change
 Are the ones upon the surface
 The restless moss upon the grave
 Seems they'll always love the sun
 Seems they'll always need one another
 Seems they'll always turn and run
 At the sight of our blood-covered countenance
 All is gone now
 Seconds fade but our hearts will still remain, love
 They are endless
 ♪
 I will empty my head into the night
 Under the gaze of Orion
 Hand in the hand, together we'll walk
 Into the jaws of the sun, I know
 All is gone now
 Our only crime was living past our prime, love
 And standing
 Against the day
