July For Kings - Archaic Smile Lyrics

On a starless night
The angels were dancing around
With their halos of smoke
It was time for life, it was time for the old songs to die
In a beautiful light

The empty sighs
In a hopeful goodbye
Will I see you again?

Through the line and the air
Something passed between us there
In another time you will find
I will be there

Take the distance, take the absence
Taking me with your archaic smile
I will reach you and I will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes

Invisible queen
Turning the weight into lightness
With invisible wings I have seen
The sun rising for me
New sky open for me

Through the line and the air
Something passed between us there
In another time you will find
I will be there

Take the distance, take the absence
Taking me with your archaic smile
I will reach you and I will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes

Take the distance, take the absence
Taking me with your archaic smile
I will reach you and I will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes

I'll meet you there by the thorns at noon
Bring a favorite story or two
And when we leave here, take this letter
And always pray the dream will never fade

Take the distance, take the absence
Taking me with your archaic smile
I will reach you and I will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes

Take the distance, take the absence
Taking me with your archaic smile
I will reach you and I will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes
