Until Days Are No More by This Glass Embrace Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grab a handful of this dust
Let it sift between your fingers
Before the hollow casket thump
Before you open and release it
There are reasons for these rituals
So we remember what we've lost
I scrawled the words onto the door frames
But by morning they were gone

[Chorus]
And we are good men as men are reckoned
But as angels we fall far short of the mark
If it is ours to climb to heaven
Then in the cellar we will sleep and dream of stars

[Verse 2]
Grab a handful of this dust
Let it sift between your fingers
There is kinship with this earth
Do you feel it, son of Adam?
Though we walk 'til we are weary
Then drag ourselves along the road
We still cannot outrun this knowledge
That to the ground we will return
[Chorus]
And we are good men as men are reckoned
But as angels we fall far short of the mark
If it is ours to climb to heaven
Then in the cellar we will sleep and dream of stars

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
And we are good men as men are reckoned
But as angels we fall far short of the mark
If it is ours to climb to heaven
Then in the cellar we will sleep and dream of stars
