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 fucking 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
