Funeral Song

The light flares red at the end of the hall
We’re in a ring of fire
She pants for breath on the canopy bed
This house is like a pyre
The windows burst, the mob yells loud
Down on the lane
The fume soaks in through the crack of the door
And sea breeze fans the flames

But she says: Hey
If this is the end, kiss me
Amongst the fiery glow
If this is the end, kiss me
Before it’s time to go
She says: Thank you for your faith
And thank you for your love
If this is the end
If this is the end

The light flares red at the end of the hall
There’s no escape from here
The floorboards glow and the timbers creak
But she is free from fear
In the quivering light I see her smile
She’s lying in my arms
The fume soaks in and a funeral song
Is playing in our hearts

And she goes: Hey
If this is the end, kiss me
Amongst the fiery glow
If this is the end, kiss me
Before it’s time to go
She says: Thank you for your faith
And thank you for your love
If this is the end
If this is the end

If this is the end, kiss me
Amongst the fiery glow
If this is the end, kiss me
Before it’s time to go
She says: Thank you for your faith
And thank you for your love

If this is the end
If this is the end
If this is the end
If this is the end
If this is the end
