Are you listening
the way the sky is screaming red
Are you listening, listening to me?
Ashes are falling like rain
The time is burning away
I can assure, if we don’t we act now we are doomed to break the circle
If only I could take this life of mine and feed it to this dying world
Maybe I can last
(Gasp for some air)
Maybe I can go
(Take in the despair)
My dying ember glows faintly underneath the surface
The smoke will rise as high as the moon will fall
Good thing that I’m flying higher than the sun will rise
I’m leaving behind all of what once was, up in smoke and flames, collapsing to dust
Are you witnessing
The fires are raging through her head
Are you listening, listening to me?
Recollecting all my thoughts
Try not to feel it in my bones
It’s just apart of alleviation
a new creation
x3
Breathe in
Harmony
Breathe out
Deliverance
X2
Guiding the way
Through the clouds
Enter a new Galaxy
Are you listening
There’s still a chance we’ll stand together
Are you listening, listening to me?
Ashes are falling like rain
The time is burning away
