The cathedral bells forgot our names Rust gathered softly upon the rain Children carved suns into broken stone Waiting for a dawn that never came The river remembers forgotten kings Their paper crowns beneath the tide Smoke blooms gently through empty streets Like ghosts returning home to hide [Verse] Every window holds another sky Every mirror buries yesterday The birds abandoned all their songs Leaving silence where they used to pray We gathered embers in our hands Thinking they were seeds of spring Now every flower tastes like dust Every silence learns to sing [Chorus] The horizon burns behind our eyes While yesterday refuses to die We carry oceans made of ash Beneath an endless crimson sky (Everything returns...) (Everything returns...) The stars remember who we were Long before the fall began [Bridge] Perhaps the earth is only dreaming us The mountains breathe beneath their scars Old lovers whisper through abandoned stations Their voices trapped inside forgotten stars I hear my younger footsteps Walking somewhere I can never follow The wind still knows my mother's hymn But every answer sounds like tomorrow [Final Chorus] The horizon burns behind our eyes Still we walk into the fading light The gardens bloom beneath the ash Invisible to blinded time (We were here...) (We were here...) When the last echo leaves the sea Only memory will learn our names
