[Intro] The sky we once trusted now flickers with flame (A world so still…) Foundations tremble where our fathers once prayed (To gods no more…) Our cities turned to rubble within the ashen rain (A deathly chill...) We caused it all, our humanity betrayed (Blown to dust and vapor...) [Verse 1] Factions stitched through sovereign hands (and silent regret) Nations cracked by whispered commands (no repentance yet) Our leaders conspired behind closed doors (while children cry) Playing gods through political wars (as we stood by) [Hook] We lit the pyre beneath our throne (built from ruin, ruled alone) The crown we forged now sears our skin (a reign of silence will begin) [Verse 2] Scripted lives in concrete dreams (where are they now?) Truth fractured by endless screams (we made this vow!) Our doom fell as metallic rain (no where to run!) Blessing our end with fire and pain (Where is our sun?) [Pre-Chorus] We watched the world forget its name (watched it burn!) Swallowed whole by gods we made (no return!) [Chorus] When ashes fall And chaos takes its breath We rise as ghosts Inheriting death [Verse 3] Children born to fallout rain (cries in shelter) Learning fear like second skin (memories falter) Survivors in this man-made hell (hear them sing) Loved ones gone with no farewell (a truth that stings) [Hook] We lit the pyre beneath our throne (built from ruin, ruled alone) [Verse 4] No scripture left, no gods to blame (walls remember) Our monuments are tombs by name (ash and embers) Our fear and hatred stoked the flame (doomed forever) This destruction we can not tame (life it severs) [Breakdown] Dig the grave with sharpened pride Steel-fed truths we can't survive Collapse—Collapse—Collapse! [Verse 5] Beneath the rubble, the earth breathes (dust-filled lungs) Poison in the waters, the world seethes (rotting tongues) Fires twist around the human soul (pale eyes sunken in) And turns the heart into Rusted Gold (let this Dead Age begin) [Guitar Solo] "See the fire… “ “See the fall… “ “See the ruin… “ “See it all..." [Verse 6] We made the storm to shield our sin (gave it names) It cracked the earth, then crawled within (chained in flames) Chaos called, we followed through (we heed the call) We destroyed everything we knew (and watched it fall!) [Chorus II] When silence sings Through shattered stone The light we stole Won’t guide us home (...no way home...) [Outro] And when the last song ends… We’ll dream of skies That never were And pay the price Of what we killed.
