I can feel the air, pressing me down
It's hot and we can't breathe
The light is so bright, it burns out our eyes
It sears off our skin
I watch you fade away, shatter like glass
With empty eyes
A warm wave washes us away
A final goodbye
Fade out, lights out
Stay close to me love
We'll brave this fire on our knees
Ashes to ashes
Life to dust
Someday to rise
Like a flame
We've built this fate
From science and god, an alchemy of fear
A race of billions too blind to see
Too f****** deaf to hear
We are deserving
Extinction
Decimating flood
We are still gripping, stilted to hatred
Wading in this blood
Fade out, lights out
Stay close to me love
We'll brave this fire on our knees
Ashes to ashes
Life to dust
Someday to rise
Like a flame
Pillars of atom fill the skyline
Seas turn to blood, that bathes the coast
Obey the waves, they'll guide you home
Before the tempest, after the storm
It's hot and we can't breathe
The light is so bright, it burns out our eyes
It sears off our skin
I watch you fade away, shatter like glass
With empty eyes
A warm wave washes us away
A final goodbye
Fade out, lights out
Stay close to me love
We'll brave this fire on our knees
Ashes to ashes
Life to dust
Someday to rise
Like a flame
We've built this fate
From science and god, an alchemy of fear
A race of billions too blind to see
Too f****** deaf to hear
We are deserving
Extinction
Decimating flood
We are still gripping, stilted to hatred
Wading in this blood
Fade out, lights out
Stay close to me love
We'll brave this fire on our knees
Ashes to ashes
Life to dust
Someday to rise
Like a flame
Pillars of atom fill the skyline
Seas turn to blood, that bathes the coast
Obey the waves, they'll guide you home
Before the tempest, after the storm
