[Intro]
Dust in the sky
Ash in my lungs
Names on my tongue
All gone, all gone
[Verse 1]
Red horizon, broken towers
Smoke where cities used to breathe
Shadowed hulls blot out the daylight
Silent judges, watching me
I walk through glass that used to be them
Every footprint, one more grave
If I fall, the story ends here
One last child that couldn’t be saved
[Chorus]
I am the only survivor
Last echo of a burning world
Carrying the weight of the embers
Every scream, every flag unfurled
I am the only survivor
Marked in the marrow and bone
I swear by the ghosts of the fallen
You will never leave here alone (hear me)
[Verse 2]
Their cold eyes sweep the canyons
Searching ruin, counting bones
They don’t see the fire inside me
They don’t hear the choir of stones
Every face I loved behind me
Pressed like hands against my spine
Drive me forward, through the slaughter
“Take their daylight, make it mine”
[Chorus]
I am the only survivor
Last echo of a burning world
Carrying the weight of the embers
Every scream, every flag unfurled
I am the only survivor
Marked in the marrow and bone
I swear by the ghosts of the fallen
You will never leave here alone
[Bridge]
Sanctus, sanctus
(spirit of vengeance, rise)
Mortis, mortis
(we are the thousand eyes)
From the ruins
From the cinders
Lift my fury
Turn it tinder
Sanctus, sanctus
(bless this final war)
Pacem, pacem
(we’ll have peace no more)
[Chorus]
I am the only survivor
Last echo of a burning world
Carrying the weight of the embers
Every scream, every flag unfurled
I am the only survivor
I carve our names in their steel
Till the armada is silent
They will know how justice feels
[Outro]
Ash in the wind
Blood on the stars
One voice left
It’s ours (hey)
