Granted

(album: Fragile Immortality - 2014)

If God doesn't exist, no sin matters
Nothing counts towards our karmic odyssey
Whether you die tomorrow or the day after, it doesn't matter
Because if God doesn't exist, this life
Every second of it is all we have

Make the most of it
There's no such thing as a saint without a history
Or a sinner without a future

You chewed my heart out
But you did your best to put it back
Where it belongs
A situation like this does actually exist

The blue flame that outlined you on the day that we first met
Burnt me as much as the gilded band, that I now regret

As my heart was beating me
I understood you were a whole mess of trouble
It was spelled all over you

You chewed my heart out
But you did your best to put it back
Where it belongs
A situation like this does actually exist

We never gave up, we could never extinguish that blue flame
Always remember that a lie has speed
But truth has endurance

That moonless, star filled night we entrenched course correction
An alliance between east and west was shaped
We sealed it in white gold and a pledge to liquidate my pride

You chewed my heart out
But you did your best to put it back
Where it belongs
A situation like this does actually exist

I will spend the rest of my days
To relieve the pressure on the payload you carry within
