When my blood runs black and my skin's cold as snow
And no one can tell me where my soul goes
I'll have secrets inside me
You'll never know
They'll hide in the dirt with my ashes and bones
Sisters, and mothers, and lovers, and friends
Well, we all close our eyes one day in the end
When it's my time to meet the maker of men
Will I still be thinkin what might've been
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die
Give me your hand to hold
As I leave this world alone
And kiss my lavender lips when I die
There's so many things that I never knew
But the one thing I knew: it was always you
But you can't save me when my heart's icy blue
Don't blame yourself for what you could never do
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die
Give me your hand to hold
As I leave this world alone
And kiss my lavender lips when I die
It's all war and guns and fire
And every hope turns into useless desire
And Love, she's just a jealous liar
I'd rather burn up in a funeral pyre
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die
Give me your hand to hold
As I leave this world alone
Give me your hand to hold
As I leave this world alone
And kiss my lavender lips when I die
