00:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:54I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:59Now silence screams what nothing means and all that's left is closing in.
01:07Fading hope like a candle whose wake has come to the end.
01:14One final flicker, then nothing again.
01:21The smoke curls up like a ghost that won't end.
01:28Fading hope.
01:32Hope is gone, my friend.
01:41Oh, hope is gone.
01:50I lift you up on lonely nights when thunder tore the sky apart.
01:58You kept me warm through endless fights between my mind and my broken heart.
02:05But wax runs down like tears unshed.
02:09The flame grows weak, it starts to bend.
02:13Every second closer to death.
02:17And I can't bring you back, my friend.
02:20Fading hope like a candle whose wake has come to the end.
02:28One final flicker, then nothing again.
02:35The smoke curls up like a ghost that won't end.
02:43Fading hope.
02:44Fading hope.
02:46Hope is gone, my friend.
02:56Hope is gone.
03:03Fading hope.
03:06No morning light will chase this gloom.
03:11No gentle hand to cut the flame.
03:14Just empty hours inside this room and ashes where we wrote our names.
03:21I beg the dark, I beg the sky, I beg the wind to breathe you higher.
03:29But even stars refuse to try when love itself has lost the fire.
03:38Fading hope.
03:41The wake has come to the end.
03:46No spark, no prayer, no lie to pretend.
03:50Just cold black air.
03:55Just cold black air.
03:56Where tomorrow should have been fading hope.
04:03My only hope is gone.
04:20The candle sleeps.
04:28And so do I.
04:34Good night.
04:35Good night.
