Lyrics to Tech Noir 2
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...
This is it, we are on our own
The air is clear
Welcome home
We're headed straight for oblivion
But we're gonna make it
Whatever it takes
I just wanna be with you
Lost love and revelations
Heavy rain diffuse the sun
Look up and wash it all away
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
Our road's paved in crushed-up skulls
Ride with me to the end of the world
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
Lost love and revelations
Heavy rain diffuse the sun
Look up and wash it all away
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
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
All hell can't stop us if we stay together
Let's live then die then live like this forever
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
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

This is it, we are on our own

Welcome home

But we're gonna make it

Look up and wash it all away

Drifting in and out around us
But I know, I know, I know you're here
