Rust and Ash

Verse 1 – male half-sung ominous murmur, low resonant delivery, digitally doubled undertone

Steel wind blowing through the streetlights' haze

Burning pavement in our footsteps' sway

Ashes fall like snow where walls come down

Every heartbeat echoes off this town

Pre-Chorus

Lift your voice and let it carry on

Through the dark until we're gone

Chorus – male half-sung ominous murmur, low resonant delivery, digitally doubled undertone, soaring layered chant

Rust and ash beneath our feet

Burning up what once was here

Rust and ash where shadows meet

Losing nothing in this fire's sphere

Rust and ash until it's gone

Every step takes us further home

Verse 2 – male half-sung ominous murmur, low resonant delivery, digitally doubled undertone

City streets are empty now but for the sound of us

Every crumbling brick a song we're singing loud

Pavement cracks beneath our feet like an open door

Nothing left to keep us walking on and on

Pre-Chorus

Lift your voice and let it carry on

Through the dark until we're gone

Chorus – male half-sung ominous murmur, low resonant delivery, digitally doubled undertone, soaring layered chant

Rust and ash beneath our feet

Burning up what once was here

Rust and ash where shadows meet

Losing nothing in this fire's sphere

Rust and ash until it's gone

Every step takes us further home

Bridge – male half-sung ominous murmur, low resonant delivery, digitally doubled undertone

Let the embers pull us under

Not a shadow left to surrender

Nothing remains except the heat we make

This is all that we ever need to take

Chorus – male half-sung ominous murmur, low resonant delivery, digitally doubled undertone, soaring layered chant

Rust and ash beneath our feet

Burning up what once was here

Rust and ash where shadows meet

Losing nothing in this fire's sphere

Rust and ash until it's gone

Every step takes us further home
