Actually I can find the lyrics but I'm looking for something with the words they're saying in the background for the first five minutes of the song. I'm having trouble making out a few words .. specifically the part at 2:53 that starts with:

you said the cinders were falling like snow
there is poetry in the spirit and we sang with unrivaled beauty
the bitter elegy of ??? and eloquence, of blue and gray (?)

Well, something like that. Thanks if you can help.

A.F.I. LYRICS
"This Time Imperfect"
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share for you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems... no one will appear here and make me real
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams
I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams
You don't care that it haunts me
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me
Just how much this hurts me
Just how much you...

i don't have the answer but i just thought i'd mention that AFI practices in the same building as my band. pretty sad thing to brag about, though, huh? ;)
