Ashen World

In a world built of torment Under smoke-blackened orbits I was carving your name in the marrow of night While the lamplight expires in venomous white The angels were silent Their wings folded shut And the city bled dreamers Through alleyway cuts Let’s escape Escape this Ashen World Where the hearts are sold And the flags unfurled We´ll rebuild a realm From forgotten dreams Where creation rises Through fractured seams Far away beyond their schemes There are corridors hollow Where the wretched gods swallow Every spark that would dare To illuminate pain Yet we kept one alive In the dark like a stain So gather the embers And breathe them to flame We´ll craft a new cosmos And burn out their name Let’s escape Escape this Ashen World Where the hearts are sold And the flags unfurl We´ll rebuild a realm From forgotten dreams Where creation rises Through fractured seams Far away beyond their schemes Oh - Ink on your wrist like a fallen saint Oh - Blood mixing red with the poets paint Oh - Silence made sharp with a silver vow Oh - We leave them behind We leave them all So escape Escape this carnivorous night Where the ghosts in glass Beg for second sight We´ll invent a world From our dying gleams Where the cruel dissolve Into fractured dreams Burn Let’s escape Escape this Ashen World Where the hearts are sold And the flags unfurl We´ll rebuild a realm From forgotten dreams As creation rises Through fractured seams Far away beyond their schemes
