Philmont - The Ascension lyrics

rate me

Of course I would rather not try to explain<br />

Where all this is going<br />

I never thought we'd take it so lightly<br />

The high and the mighty<br />

Will all fall the same<br />

Of course I would stick to my story<br />

An obvious warning to heed to the signs<br />

Then everything, it crumbles around me<br />

The last call is sounding<br />

I'm boarding the train<br />

And time, it won't stand still<br />

Dreams will slowly hide<br />

Beneath the dust that settles on your life<br />

Your life<br />

The truth is we'd rather not listen<br />

Aborting the mission, abandoning hope<br />

It's sabotage, we scramble the signals<br />

Give up our positions<br />

Surrender to fear<br />

Running blind, escaping the future<br />

The winners and losers are called out tonight<br />

You can't run, can't hide in the back seat<br />

The sky is collapsing<br />

The future is here<br />

And time, it won't stand still<br />

Dreams will slowly hide<br />

Beneath the dust that settles on your life<br />

Sit with me, we'll watch the stars collide<br />

The flaming embers wrapped in smoke<br />

Will shower you and I<br />

And as we burn, our bodies leave their posts<br />

We'll ascend the charred remains <br />

And depart from all we know<br />

You and I will survive
