  • As above, so below
    Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not decease
    As within, so without
    The seasons bring relief
    Let me live and die in peace

    I will be consumed, returned into the earth
    Only passing through, nothing left to hold on to
    Like the thaw against the snow, into the undertow
    Cut the chord and cast me out
    Cast me out

    It's a promise that you cannot break
    Was your life worth dying for?
    The universe survives on give and take
    Death is an open door

    It's a promise that you cannot break
    Was your life worth dying for?
    The universe survives on give and take
    Decay is the only law

    As above, so below
    Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not decease
    As within, so without
    The seasons bring relief
    Just let me live and die in peace

    It'll wear you down, through skin and bone
    It's as if my mind has a mind of it's own

    It'll wear you down, through skin and bone
    It's as if my mind has a mind of it's own

    When my heart skips two beats
    (I am hidden deep. Fast asleep)
    The sea will part, where oceans meet
    Finally complete

    It's a promise that you cannot break
    Was your life worth dying for?
    The universe survives on give and take
    Death is an open door

    It's a promise that you cannot break
    Was your life worth dying for?
    The universe survives on give and take
    Decay is the only law

    Swan song
    A declaration of endlessness
    I swear I will not look back, as I return into the black
    When the veil lifts, how will I know?
    How will I know?
    Will I see God?

    As above, so below
    Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not decease
    As within, so without
    The seasons bring relief
    Just let me live and die in peace Writer/s: ALEX DEAN, DAN SEARLE, SAM CARTER, TOM SEARLE
