[Verse 1]
In the shadow of the cross and the blade
We learned to love without a name
Your heartbeat syncs with silent steps
Truth is written in the debts we’ve kept

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t pray for absolution
We earn it in the dark
Trust is forged between the lies
And friendship leaves its mark

[Chorus]
Nothing is true
Everything burns
Love is a scar that never learns
In your eyes I see the creed
Live in shadow
Die with me

[Verse 2]
Hands stained red with what we’ve done
Still we laugh
Still we run
Share a cigarette in the freezing rain
Trade old sins
New kinds of pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Every secret that you whisper
Is another loaded gun
If the world comes crashing down
We stay
We never run

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
If the fire takes our faces
Leaves us ashes
Nameless
Free
Carve our vow into the ruins
You in hell
Still next to me

[Chorus]
