Lyrics
As we lay dying on the table
Reflecting on the experience of approaching death on a table.
I hear the beating of the surgeon's heart
Perceiving the surgeon's heartbeat during the critical moment.
And ghostly whispers of the people
Hearing ethereal whispers from onlookers or spirits.
But my eyes are holding hard to yours darling
Maintaining intense eye contact with a loved one despite the circumstances.
Like a sanctuary
Comparing the intense gaze to a sanctuary, a place of refuge or safety.
In a stained glass church
Using the metaphor of a stained glass church to describe their relationship.
Where we wanted to get married
Recalling a desire to marry in a place symbolizing commitment and spirituality.
Oh I wish this didn't hurt
Expressing a wish for the experience not to be painful.
What a terrible way to go
Reflecting on the difficulty of the current situation as a tragic way to end.
What a beautiful way to die
Acknowledging the beauty in the profound nature of death.
We were only teenagers
Recalling the time of the experience when they were adolescents.
In this crucible called life
Describing life as a crucible, a challenging and transformative process.
A light burst through the window
Noticing a sudden burst of light in the environment.
Shines on those deep brown eyes
Highlighting the beauty of deep brown eyes illuminated by the light.
And you've never looked more beautiful
Commenting on the beauty of the loved one in the face of impending death.
My heart may be fading but my mind is stuck on you
Emphasizing the persistent focus on the loved one despite physical decline.
What a terrible way to go
Reiterating the challenging nature of the experience as a tragic way to end.
What a beautiful way to die
Reaffirming the beauty found in the profundity of death.
We were only teenagers
Recalling the time of the experience when they were adolescents (repeated).
In this crucible called life
Describing life as a crucible, a challenging and transformative process (repeated).
And we fought off every battle
Highlighting the resilience in facing life's challenges with a unique love.
With our novel love held dear
Emphasizing the significance of their love in overcoming difficulties.
Oh as our final page is written
Reflecting on the completion of their life story with no more fear.
There's nothing left to fear
Conveying a sense of peace and closure as the final chapter is written.
Like a sanctuary
Reiterating the idea of the intense gaze as a sanctuary (repeated).
With you darling
Closing with a reaffirmation of finding refuge and safety with the loved one.
