lyrics

My words stop the silence
Like a dead man stops from his run
We danced to a slow song
Before the day was done

The light faded right down
And the sea ripped upon the shore
Our footprints washed away
before the setting sun

To be forgotten is to have won
The ink drips slow and pointless
Love’s bitter end has chosen its course
And the love that once surrounded us
Made us kings when we were pawns

And the spotlight fades
Amongst the glitter and the cash
And time has all but left us
Before the setting sun

To be forgotten is to have won
