The Architecture Of Ash - Ret Rain

[Verse] I walked through corridors of rust and revelation Past hollow towers crowned with satellite dust Windows held the colour of a dying ocean Where time devoured everything we learned to trust Buried engines turning slowly underneath the floor Shedding what had lost the will to stay [Chorus] We are the architecture of ash The shape that remains when empires collapse The breath in the furnace the salt in the rain The memory carried through marrow and flame The root underneath every kingdom The blood in the veins of the stones [Hook] Ash into soil Soil into root Root into fracture Fracture into fruit [Bridge] Consider the glacier holding blue centuries Consider the forest dead wood becoming life The dead do not depart they alter their form We are made of what we cannot keep And changed by what we cannot command [Verse] We built our sanctuaries out of separation We weighed the thunder classified the sea A seed does not remember being buried It answers to the pressure and the dark What survives the devastation Is not the structure but the living whole [Chorus] We are the architecture of ash The shape that remains when empires collapse The breath in the furnace the salt in the rain The memory carried through marrow and flame The root underneath every kingdom The blood in the veins of the stones [Hook] Ash into soil Soil into root Root into fracture Fracture into fruit [Build-Up] Let the hidden waters turn the walls around No throne survives the turning No boundary survives the flood [Chorus] We are the architecture of ash The shape that remains when empires collapse The breath in the furnace the salt in the rain The memory carried through marrow and flame The root underneath every kingdom The blood in the veins of the stones [Hook] Ash into soil Soil into root Root into fracture Fracture into fruit [Outro] No final silence Only the slow rearrangement of forms Ash into soil Soil into root Nothing disappears Everything changes
