In Times of Cold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The dying saints held their faith with blood-stained prayers The wicked gods gave the poets regret and despair Now some ruffians and grifters might fall in love with no hesitation Whether with harlots or with virgins, there's no guarantee of salvation [Chorus] When I plead my case before the court of heaven Before I likely take my place in hell The regrets, I'll own forever 'Cause I'll not see my love again And in times of cold, she'll be alone as well [Verse 2] Our scrapes were not lethal and my crimes just purloined schemes She prayed for my atonement; some souls can't be redeemed A rose leaves its fragrance when tread on by a heel So when I've come to where all the light is gone, her essence will be with me still [Chorus] When I plead my case before the court of heaven Before I likely take my place in hell The regrets, I'll own forever 'Cause I'll not see my love again And in times of cold, she'll be alone as well Yes, in times of cold, she'll be alone as well
