The Ascension

Of course I would rather not try to explain
Where all this is going
I never thought we'd take it so lightly
The high and the mighty
Will all fall the same
Of course I would stick to my story
An obvious warning to heed to the signs
Then everything, it crumbles around me
The last call is sounding
I'm boarding the train

And time, it won't stand still
Dreams will slowly hide
Beneath the dust that settles on your life
Your life

The truth is we'd rather not listen
Aborting the mission, abandoning hope
It's sabotage, we scramble the signals
Give up our positions
Surrender to fear
Running blind, escaping the future
The winners and losers are called out tonight
You can't run, can't hide in the back seat
The sky is collapsing
The future is here

And time, it won't stand still
Dreams will slowly hide
Beneath the dust that settles on your life

Sit with me, we'll watch the stars collide
The flaming embers wrapped in smoke
Will shower you and I
And as we burn, our bodies leave their posts
We'll ascend the charred remains
And depart from all we know
You and I will survive
