[Verse 1] Woke up to a siren crying sweet Neon sunrise on a broken street Bottle caps in my pocket, hope in my hand Radio humming like it understands Mama said the world would end in style Flash of white, then we’d all smile Now the sky’s still burning green And nothing’s like the posters promised it’d be [Pre-Chorus] We had the future wrapped in chrome Now I’m digging through the bones [Chorus] So let it glow, let it glow in the dust Love tastes like ash but we still trust Under mushroom clouds and atomic rain We dance to old songs, forget the pain Let it glow, yeah let it shine This broken world is still mine [Verse 2] Vault doors closed with a counting down Smiles froze on a painted clown Two hundred years and a broken dream Still got my suit and my dignity Ghoul on the corner selling time Says the past was poisoned, same as mine But I hear Sinatra through the static roar Tells me we’re alive—what you waiting for? [Pre-Chorus] The end came dressed as progress bright Now we kiss beneath emergency light [Chorus] So let it glow, let it glow in the dust Rust on the rings but we still trust Geiger sings like a lullaby Stars fall dead from the open sky Let it glow, yeah let it burn From the ashes we never learn [Bridge] Red rockets, blue skies, promises sold Tomorrow was golden—now tomorrow’s old But hand in hand through the fallout night We make our own wrong feel almost right [Final Chorus] Let it glow, let it glow in the dust If the world’s a joke, then laugh we must Turn up the radio, kiss me slow While the whole damn planet steals the show Let it glow, till the end of time This ruined world is still divine [Outro] Static fades but the song goes on In the glow… when everything’s gone. [End]
