Lyrics
Petals of white

Cover fields flowing in grieving tears

And all the hearts, once new, old and shattered now

Love can kill, love will die

Give me wings to fly

Fleeing this world so cold

I just wonder why

Cold as the dark

Now my words are frosted with every breath

Still the heat burns wild, growing inside this heart

When the wind changes course, when the stars align

I will reach out to you and leave this all behind

When heavens divide

When heavens divide

I will see the choices within my hands

How can we ever protect and fight with our tiny souls

Let me shine like the sun through the doubts and fear

Do you feel the storm approach as the end draws near

When heavens divide

Time will come to softly lay me down

Then I can see her face that I long to see

And for you, only you, I would give anything

Leaving a trace for love to find the way

When heavens divide

I will dive into the fire

Spilling the blood of my desire

The very last time

My name scorched into the sky

When heavens divide

I will see the choices within my hands

How can we ever protect and fight with our tiny souls

Let me shine like the sun through the doubts and fear

Do you feel the storm approach as the end draws near

When heavens divide

Time will come to softly lay me down

Then I can see her face that I long to see

And for you, only you, I would give anything

Leaving a trace for love to find the way

When heavens divide

And for you, only you, I would give anything

Leaving a trace for love to find the way

When heavens divide
