Burns to Embrace

We teach them to pretend, not to break the line To always look away and never ask why We sit beside the cradle, we tell them to be brave But when the warning sounds it echoes to the grave We keep blindly moving along the same old path No common sense would guide us back to life Now look at us: the pinnacle conception How we assumed these walls would never fall Sleep Farewell forever, child Farewell We are the last to walk the Earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away In lockstep to damnation, to our dying breath Every reckless footprint leaves the smell of death On the wilting meadows we let them out to play We said, "No need to worry." Now they never may Sleep Farewell forever We are the last to walk the Earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away Sleep Farewell forever We are the last to walk the Earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away We are the last to walk the Earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away We are the last to walk the Earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away We are the last to walk the Earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away
