August Burns Red - Indonesia lyrics

rate me

This plane’s going down in flames, and this

time there’s no black box to capture your last

words. A situation we can’t make any sense

of. Sacrifice costs all of us everything. This

is the time to turn down our heads and turn

up our hearts. There’s no scale to balance

this out. Some say may those who curse

days, curse this day. How does a man wrap

his mind around eternity, when he can’t even

explain his own composition? Don’t you see

it’s bigger than you? He sleeps in the moun-

tains of Indonesia, and the white on his flag

brings colors to shame. The earth will swal-

low the water. The clouds refill the oceans.

Old mountains will crumble, and stronger

ones will rise. This is the portrait of the

humble and broken. This plane crashed down

in flames with a man who lived, who died, to

better this world. David, rest in peace.
