The sky is bleeding rust…
and the trumpets never even bothered to play…
Nameless riders gallop on black wind
Crowns forged from barbed wire and dead prayers
Rivers drink gasoline, birds cough lead shot
God switched off the neon sign and left without goodbye
Tick-tock… the second hand chews on bone
Tick-tock… time itself is starving for us
Ashes of the final dawn!
Ash in the eyes, ash deep in the lungs
The world goes dark singing an iron requiem
Ashes of the final dawn!
We’re all just ghosts waiting for our turn
Cathedrals melt like cheap brown candles
Saints laughing through mouths of rust
Children born with serial numbers on their foreheads
Play dice with the last reaper’s scythe
Listen…
the silence screams louder than a thousand horns
Listen…
the heart of the Earth forgets how to beat
One pulse…
two pulses…
then only dust dancing in the perfect nothing
Ashes of the final dawn!
The light is dead, darkness won the fucking audition
Ashes of the final dawn!
Even Satan took vacation – phone’s gone straight to voicemail
No resurrection…
No encore…
Just ashes
falling
slowly
on everything
we used to call
tomorrow…
