Burns to Embrace

We teach them to pretend, not to break the line

To always look away and never ask why

We sit beside the cradle, we tell them to be brave

But when the warning sounds it echoes to the grave

We keep blindly moving along the same old path

No common sense would guide us back to life

Now look at us: the pinnacle conception

How we assumed these walls would never fall

Sleep

Farewell forever, child

Farewell

We are the last to walk the Earth

And watch the passing ages slowly sail

How it burns to embrace

That below the lilac skies

Eternity is just a breath away

In lockstep to damnation, to our dying breath

Every reckless footprint leaves the smell of death

On the wilting meadows we let them out to play

We said, "No need to worry."

Now they never may

Sleep

Farewell forever

We are the last to walk the Earth

And watch the passing ages slowly sail

How it burns to embrace

That below the lilac skies

Eternity is just a breath away

Sleep

Farewell forever

We are the last to walk the Earth

And watch the passing ages slowly sail

How it burns to embrace

That below the lilac skies

Eternity is just a breath away

We are the last to walk the Earth

And watch the passing ages slowly sail

How it burns to embrace

That below the lilac skies

Eternity is just a breath away

We are the last to walk the Earth

And watch the passing ages slowly sail

How it burns to embrace

That below the lilac skies

Eternity is just a breath away

We are the last to walk the Earth

And watch the passing ages slowly sail

How it burns to embrace

That below the lilac skies

Eternity is just a breath away
