Lyrics
Calling Down the Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Against a distant skyline
the shells collide
with cries of shrieking sirens
and prayers denied
From clouds of dust the wreckage spills into the night
The blackened offerings to ancient gods ignite
No more will fear define us
we'll rise anew
from cities burnt beneath us
a world untrue
The charred remains of antiquated company
Will give way to the cure for this decayed debris
We have been searching for so long
We finally found what was forgone
We have been grieving for so long
We'll carve a wound where we belong
