Ashfall - Hackneyed

We’re trying to get out of here

And if we fail, we’ll be left for dead

The shroud crushes the atmosphere

Like a virus — it will rot us

Our Earth, a running sore

But still — we drill deeper and deeper

Fighting our last war

To survive — a world hostile to life

We’re lost in ignorance

Souls drenched in black

Our world at combustion

We burn ourselves in effigy

And decay

'cause ash won’t wash our sins away

Possession becomes obsession

That’s what we’re dying for

That’s what we’re dying for

Our Earth, a running sore

But still — we drill deeper and deeper

Fighting our last war

To survive — a world hostile to life

We’re lost in ignorance

Souls drenched in black

Our world at combustion

We burn ourselves in effigy

And decay

'cause ash won’t wash our sins away
