Oh, lost in shadows, behind the fence
Discovers herself for the last time
Music races as her blood turns thin
Slowly breathing for the last time

A lethal smile from a silken veil
Slices the fog for the last time
Alone with herself to feel what she feels
Touching the skin for the last time

Oh, it's hard to stay and watch the killing
As the world turns cold, Stephanie's dreaming

And as her face turns grey, she looks at me
For the last time
She waves her drowning hand and falls into the sea
For the last time

Shifting colors and shifting sand
The planet spins for the last time
A distant girl with bloody hands
Sheds a tear for the last time

Oh, it's hard to stay and watch the killing
As the world turns cold, Stephanie's dreaming

For the last time
