[INTRO] Through ruins untold Stories must be told [VERSE 1] Walking through the twisted metal and debris Looking at these streets of broken dreams Where our city stood in majesty Now only darkness reigns supreme Children's laughter faded in the air In playgrounds made of shattered steel Toxic smoke beyond repair Left us with these wounds that never heal [PRE-CHORUS] The bells have lost their song The towers stand in grey The silence feels so wrong In this place we have to stay [CHORUS] In the ashes of yesterday Looking for humanity In this world that turned to grey Where peace used to be No more flags to wave up high Just memories to wash away In these ruins where we cry Everything turned to decay [VERSE 2] Hospitals stand dark against the night Like tombs of concrete standing still Where doctors work without their light Trying hard their oath fulfill Schools are trenches in this war Books are burning in the rain Nothing's like it was before Everyone carries the pain [PRE-CHORUS] No birds in leaden skies No mothers wait at doors Just dust that never dies On these forgotten shores [CHORUS] In the ashes of yesterday Looking for humanity In this world that turned to grey Where peace used to be No more flags to wave up high Just memories to wash away In these ruins where we cry Everything turned to decay [BRIDGE] Pictures on the crumbling walls Memories of different days When innocence filled these halls Before the world turned to haze Now there's only silence deep In streets without any light Promises we couldn't keep In the darkness of the night [FINAL CHORUS] In the ashes of yesterday Still searching for our way Through this world of endless grey Hoping for a brighter day No more flags to wave goodbye Just our stories left to say In these ruins where we lie Praying for a brand new day [OUTRO] Rain falls on rusted steel Time can never heal [FINAL CHORUS] In the ashes of yesterday Still searching for our way Through this world of endless grey Hoping for a brighter day No more flags to wave goodbye Just our stories left to say In these ruins where we lie Praying for a brand new day [OUTRO] Rain falls on rusted steel Time can never heal
