**[Intro]** The sky is burning The ground begins to shake Something is coming And nothing can be saved **[Verse 1]** I watched the city lose its light One by one, they died tonight Smoke was rising from the streets While broken sirens filled the air People running, people screaming No one knows what they are seeing The world we knew is fading fast And every second could be our last **[Pre-Chorus]** We built these walls We built these lies Now watch them burn Before our eyes **[Chorus]** We are the ashes of tomorrow Living in a world we can't repair We carry all the weight and sorrow But nobody is waiting there The fire keeps getting higher The darkness takes the sky We thought we'd live forever But everything must die **[Verse 2]** I found a picture in the dust Of a life that turned to rust Faces smiling, frozen in time Before the end became the sign I hear a voice beneath the ground Calling me without a sound Telling me to leave this place Before the fire takes my name **[Pre-Chorus]** We built these walls We built these lies Now watch them burn Before our eyes **[Chorus]** We are the ashes of tomorrow Living in a world we can't repair We carry all the weight and sorrow But nobody is waiting there The fire keeps getting higher The darkness takes the sky We thought we'd live forever But everything must die **[Bridge]** Maybe this is what we made Maybe this is what we deserve A world consumed by its own flame A future buried in the dirt No angels No saviors No hands reaching from above Only ashes Only silence Only everything we loved **[Breakdown]** Burn it down Let it burn Nothing left Nothing learned Burn it down Watch it fall We built the world **WE LOST IT ALL** **[Final Chorus]** We are the ashes of tomorrow Walking through the ruins of our home We carry all the pain and sorrow But in the end we're still alone The fire keeps getting higher The darkness fills the sky We thought we'd live forever But everything must die **[Outro]** The sun is gone The smoke remains Tomorrow comes But nothing changes We were the future **Now we're the ashes.**
