I'm clinging to the fabric of a life that's lost
The large, unnecessary cost of death
But underneath the shades of lonely I can mend
But I can't bring you back and forth
The steady sway of agony and irony
Like ebony and ivory gone wrong
But this piano doesn't play a thing at all
But sad, sad songs

The ebb and flow
The smaller things
The flight of the crow
Is life and death still all that we know
We all come and we all fade away
Nightmares and dreams
The call of the fray
This night will soon be turned to day.

A ring just fell from someone's cold and dying grip
The memories they start to slip so soon
But someone's just been born into a brand new life
Turn it over

The shackles that hold us down
Aren't really there there staked to the ground
Shake them off, and watch them disappear
We'll listen to this elegy and feel not sad
It's a new beginning
A new beginning

The ebb and flow
The smaller things
The flight of the crow
Is life and death still all that we know
We all come and we all fade away
Nightmares and dreams
The call of the fray
This night will soon be turned to day.

We all come and we all fade away
Nightmares and dreams
The call of the fray
This night will soon be turned to day.

Ebb and flow
Is life and death still all that we know?
Ebb and flow
Is life and death still all that we know?
Ebb and flow
Is life and death still all that we know?
Ebb and flow
Is life and death still all that we know?
Ebb and flow
Is life and death still all that we know?
