The war I waged with death was far above my head,
D# C#
the winds of Heaven met the gates of Hell.

The angels sang eternally, while the demons were encouraging
D# C#
all that was inside of me to give up hope.

This is how it feels, this is how it feels.

You were standing there, running a brush through your blonde hair,
D# C#
unconcerned with the affair, because you had faith.

But I wish it came so easily to a boy afraid of everything,
D# C#
but this felt like an awakening, it felt so free.

For thy mortal self shall die, but from the grave we will arise
D# C#
and death will be described as a paper ghost.
