[Intro]
Ash on the sunrise
Cracks in the crown of the sky
We kneel to the nameless
Who answer with silence and time

[Verse 1]
Stone circles
Orbiting nothing
We drag our chains in the sand
Every prayer
Just dust on our hands
Cold lanterns
Swinging above us
Marking the hours we waste
Scratching sermons
In bone and in rust and in haste

[Chorus]
We carve our names
In a dying star
Knowing every line
Will be torn apart
Cosmic exercises in futility
We reach
We bleed
For a vacant infinity

[Verse 2]
Black banners over the harvest
Ash filling everyone’s lungs
We chant in a dead tongue
To a mouth that never was
Cities of iron collapsing
Like tired
Mechanical waves
Every tower
Another elaborate grave

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[clean guitars
Low vocal register]
Soft rain on monuments
Can you hear it erase us?
Empty throne at the center
Only echo
Only dust
[whispered vocals]
We built our gods from absence
Fed them doubt and fear and spite
They answered as they were born
With absence
With absence
With night

[guitar solo]

[Chorus]
