Lyrics
The Ascension
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.
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
