E
Here, we’re just stuck in the spotlight,

We should make like shadows and disappear.

If parting is such sweet sorrow,

To hell with waiting for tomorrow.

Hand in hand like we planned,
A
As the night takes us away.
Pre-Chorus
E
And I hope when they find me and you
B
In this tomb built for two,

They get the glory for the end of our story,
A
And take their fucking bows.
[Refrão]

So remember us, the soon dearly departed,

And how the war our fathers started,

You and I both know that death won’t matter,

Bring on the poison and the dagger,
Am
They set the stage for tragedy.

Don’t scream, ‘cause the show must go on,

As the night takes us away.
