White walls surround us,
No light will touch your face again.
Rain taps the window,
As we sleep among the dead.
Days go on forever,
But I have not left your side.
We can chase the dark together,
If you go then so will I.
There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes.
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye.
Cold light above us,
Hope fills the heart and fades away.
Skin white as winter,
As the sky returns to grey. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/breaking_benjamin/anthem_of_the_angels.html ]
Days go on forever,
But I have not left your side.
We can chase the dark together,
If you go then so will I.
There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes.
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye.
I keep holding onto you,
But I can't bring you back to life.
Sing the anthem of the angels,
Then say the last goodbye.
You're dead alive.
You're dead alive.
You're dead alive.
You're dead alive.
There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes.
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye.
I keep holding onto you,
But I can't bring you back to life.
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye.
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye.
Could also mean someone has drastically changed to the point where that the person you have once loved/liked is metaphorically dead. Saying the last goodbye is cutting off the relation with that said person. I think the lines "you're dead alive" put this meaning into perspective quite well.

It is about watching someone you love fade into death. Watching them deteriorate but still holding on to them. Then realizing that you have to let them go or they will not find peace.
I think they're both dead and he's telling her to go to the light already because she seams to be misserable in their current state and he's been waiting a long time for her therefore"days go on forever"but then the light fades and hope runs away and theyre stuck like that forever.
The aong is about george bush as he leaves office "say the last goodbye" and "days go on forever but i have not left your side" means he stayed with the american people even when the times were bad. "hope fills the heart and fades away" is how the people believed in him but were let down.
