Tekst piosenki
The dust settles on the broken sundial
Shadows stretch across the hollowed mile
We traded the orchards for a handful of ash
Watching the future collide in a heavy crash
No sirens wailing just a silence so deep
While the secrets of the soil begin to seep
Through the cracks of the monuments we built
Under the crushing weight of collective guilt
[Pre-Chorus]
The horizon is folding its weary arms
Far from the noise of the false alarms
The ledger is balanced the debt is paid
In the long blue reach of the evening shade
[Chorus]
This is the fading of the final flame
Where no one is left to whisper a name
The clock has surrendered its mechanical heart
As the fabric of the heavens pulls apart
Everything we gathered slips through the sand
On the edge of the dark in a forgotten land
[Bridge]
The ink has run dry on the maps of the past
Nothing was ever intended to last
The oceans are rising to swallow the shore
And the knocking has stopped at the iron door
Let the iron rust and the granite decay
There is no one to plead and no one to pray
[Verse]
The sky turns the color of a bruised plum
Waiting for the beat of a distant drum
But the air is a vacuum devoid of sound
As the towers collapse to the thirsty ground
We are ghosts in a gallery of empty frames
Watching the sunrise forget all its claims
The harvest is over and the granaries bare
Just a scent of ozone in the cooling air
[Chorus]
This is the fading of the final flame
Where no one is left to whisper a name
The clock has surrendered its mechanical heart
As the fabric of the heavens pulls apart
Everything we gathered slips through the sand
On the edge of the dark in a forgotten land
