"The Epilogue" lyrics
Two little ghosts haunting the same home
The one overlooked near the meadow
Often they were on the floor and talk of how life was before the orphanage claimed them
The loneliest haven
He grew up fast and left for the front lines
And every night she wrote from the coast line
He would wake from nightmares and reread her words from home
He longed to see her now
To reach her somehow
If you had the chance would you run with me
If you had the chance would you run with me
Miles across the ocean
She remained unbroken
Like the shore she knew that he'd come back
Months of never knowing
Years of quiet yearning
She filled her life with lights to keep her hope intact
For a moment the path she'd chosen
One straight shot that led to him
With new desire he'd ask again
If you had the chance would you run with me
If you had the chance would you run with me
Two little ghosts stood at the alter
The chapel was bare but their vows were honest
They'd live an ordinary life
Complete with ordinary things
And they'd have each other
Oh they'd keep each other
All alone did they begin
And all alone will they return
Raised to be forgotten
To get less than they deserve
When he fell victim to conscription
And she was left alone to live
No one else could satisfy
She knew it would never not be him
So she fought to reach his heart
And he fought to reach the same
Throughout childhood and trenches
Through the stubborn and the chains
They went back to the beginning
To the meadow
To their home
Where their wayward souls emerged
And he would pay the debt she owed
No one knows the [?] they came
But in the orphanage they'll stay
The one overlooked near the meadow
Often they were on the floor and talk of how life was before the orphanage claimed them
The loneliest haven
He grew up fast and left for the front lines
And every night she wrote from the coast line
He would wake from nightmares and reread her words from home
He longed to see her now
To reach her somehow
If you had the chance would you run with me
If you had the chance would you run with me
Miles across the ocean
She remained unbroken
Like the shore she knew that he'd come back
Months of never knowing
Years of quiet yearning
She filled her life with lights to keep her hope intact
For a moment the path she'd chosen
One straight shot that led to him
With new desire he'd ask again
If you had the chance would you run with me
If you had the chance would you run with me
Two little ghosts stood at the alter
The chapel was bare but their vows were honest
They'd live an ordinary life
Complete with ordinary things
And they'd have each other
Oh they'd keep each other
All alone did they begin
And all alone will they return
Raised to be forgotten
To get less than they deserve
When he fell victim to conscription
And she was left alone to live
No one else could satisfy
She knew it would never not be him
So she fought to reach his heart
And he fought to reach the same
Throughout childhood and trenches
Through the stubborn and the chains
They went back to the beginning
To the meadow
To their home
Where their wayward souls emerged
And he would pay the debt she owed
No one knows the [?] they came
But in the orphanage they'll stay
