Tech Noir 2

[Intro]

I'm recording this because the survivors no longer envy the dead

The final war is over

Its architects forever entombed in melted glass and steel

I watched the efforts of our species dance away on the radioactive wind

Civilisation retreated by millennia

All of human history wrought to dust

Our cities, now scorched black mausoleums serve as a reminder

There can be no victory in war

Birth is the answer to the question of our mortality

With resolute defiance we choose to grasp at the delicate thread of life

My son the gift of survival is yours

Please, may you never submit

There will be more...

[Verse 1]

This is it

We are on our own

The air is clear

Welcome home

[Verse 2]

We're headed straight for oblivion

But we're gonna make it

Whatever it takes

I just wanna be with you

[Pre-Chorus]

Lost love and revelations

Heavy rain diffuse the sun

Look up and wash it all away

[Chorus]

We all know how this ends

Up above the skylines

Drifting in and out around us

But I know, I know, I know you're here

Can we rebuild everything?

I can see the angel dust

It's raining down upon us

So, I know, I know, I know we'll be safe

We can rise through the fire

[Verse 3]

Our road's paved

In crushed-up skulls

Ride with me

To the end of the world

[Verse 4]

We're headed straight for oblivion

Just keep it lit, here we go again

And we'll fly right through

I just wanna be with you

[Pre-Chorus]

Lost love and revelations

Heavy rain diffuse the sun

Look up and wash it all away

[Chorus]

We all know how this ends

Up above the skylines

Drifting in and out around us

But I know, I know, I know you're here

Can we rebuild everything

I can see the angel dust

It's raining down upon us

So I know, I know, I know we'll be safe

We can rise through the fire

[Bridge 1]

There's a void in my head

There's no where I can hide

There's a shiver in her breath

As she slowly closes the other eye

Time stood still

We danced on broken glass

Yeah, I'm afraid of nothing when I'm with you

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge 2]

All hell can't stop us if we stay together

Let's live then die then live like this forever

[Chorus]

We all know how this ends

Up above the skylines

Drifting in and out around us

But I know, I know, I know you're here

Can we rebuild everything

I can see the angel dust

It's raining down upon us

So I know, I know, I know we'll be safe

We can rise through the fire
