Love I: A Quaver Through the Pale lyrics

Did I ever say: I love you? I guess now's the time Mine's run out in the afterglow And I'm terrible at goodbyes The clock up above counts down To a swift flash of the blade When you speak of me Don't remember me this way I can hear them coming for me Like dogs let off their leash Hold me in your embrace Before death takes me away And as the ending becomes clearer The knife sharpens against the grain Promise when you speak of me Say: It was love that killed the Queen It was love that killed the The longing stare, the butcher's knife A final song, a final dance What was it the Reaper said? My limbo's waiting Is there a death or an afterlife? Will I get the abyss, or the blinding light? I have so many questions and little time Well, hold my hand, I'm terrified Because since these worlds collided Life and death is no more divided So, when the blood flows from my veins Do I dissipate, or is it undecided? I tear through them all Like a scream from the maw I can hear the pain in your voice We're out of time, my death is forced And as the ending becomes clearer My sacrifice My sacrifice Promise when you speak of me Say: It was love That killed the Do I stay, or do I go? Promise you won't leave me alone I can see it in your eyes The pain of the unknown Do I stay or do I go? Promise you won't leave me alone Do I stay or do I go? Promise you won't leave me alone An angel's hands drives to the hilt Now death won't leave me alone And as the ending becomes clearer The blade cuts in so deep Oh, promise when you speak of me Say: It was love that killed the Queen Did I ever say: I love you?
