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
