The whisper of a kiss The promise of the rain The language of the leaves The secret of Saturns moons Who are we now... The dreamer or the dream The lips or the sting The flood or the drought What are we now... The hammer or the nail or the air inbetween or the moment before the fall That penetrates us all Where do we go... After the sky betrays our prayers No heaven to save us or no hell for us to tread Nothing but a meaningless death After a life of pretending to live How do we repent for the things we don't regret For the lives that we enjoyed For the pleasures that we shared For the lust and sin we've sewn into our souls Why... Listen for the whisper of a kiss or wait for the promise of the rain Translate the language of the leaves or walk the moons of Saturn Be the dreamer of a dream dreaming of lips that leave a sting That becomes a hammer turning into a nail That binds us to the moment of the fall As we find ourselves in The endless oceans of love

Just...
The whisper of a kiss The promise of the rain The language of the leaves The secret of Saturns moons Who are we now...

After the sky betrays our prayers No heaven to save us or no hell for us to tread Nothing but a meaningless death After a life of pretending to live How do we repent for the things we don't regret For the lives that we enjoyed For the pleasures that we shared For the lust and sin we've sewn into our souls Why... Listen for the whisper of a kiss or wait for the promise of the rain Translate the language of the leaves or walk the moons of Saturn Be the dreamer of a dream dreaming of lips that leave a sting That becomes a hammer turning into a nail That binds us to the moment of the fall As we find ourselves in The endless oceans of love
