good start... i'm adding what i think (in CAPS), and if anybody else
knows... well, post. :)

on the ?-marked line, i think i hear the word FEAR in there, but i don't
know... maybe "THERE'S NO SUFFERING, BUT WE FEAR THE LOSS."  but it's just
a guess.

i'm pretty sure about that one, but have so idea what the significance of
Isaac is.  but, then again, maybe i'm all mixed up.

pretty sure about that one...

> YOU'RE a burning moth without a flame

just a small change... YOU'RE instead of JUST. and for the second line, see
above.

this is the hardest one... here's my thoughts on it...

  if you were to take my place TONIGHT
  ???? TO SEE THE SHADOW FROM THE LIGHT
  if you were to take my place TONIGHT
  OH, NOW WOULDN'T JESUS BE SURPRISED

missing a word at the beginning of line 2.  after reversing the CD 4-5
times- i gave up on it.

> There's no savior on this cross
>?There's no suffering we feel but loss
> This is closer than I ever came
> Just a burning moth without a flame

> It's an offer that you can't refuse
> It's a trophy that you want to LOSE

for some reason i think she's saying LOSE here instead of USE.

anybody have a better stab at it...

NP: hmmm... shall we say... "MOTH"...
