Lost in a sea of swirling faces.

Learning to walk amongst the Ashes.

My hands are covered in the black

And now I dream of going back.

A million miles between the stars

It's so cold, the world is far.

Oh cruel companion of mine.

My heart is numb, now I feel fine.

Brother take my hand if your feeling down.

You're looking pale and screaming loud.

Coping with the voices of the dead.

Can't get those flowers from my head.

Just trying not to drown.

Falling fast: we're lost, we're found.

Oh cruel companion of mine.

My heart is numb, now I feel fine.

Oh love, is it true love?

I guess it is.

Oh love, is it cruel love?

I guess it is.

Paint me a picture of the past.

I'll hold it close and make it last.

A photograph before you go.

I'll make it last and hold it close.

You're slipping far away from me,

at least all of this pain is free.

Oh cruel companion of mine.

my heart is numb, now I feel fine.
