Black

The world is on its knees
Minds shrouded by disease
Their chances of salvation may kill me

The sky is getting dark
Enough to light a spark
Can’t snuff a blazing heart

Welcome to the ring of fire
Let’s dismantle the empire

Black is the color of our ashes
Embedded in the wings of our dead
Fly
Into the afterlight

Black is the color of our story
With it we’ll write the late eulogies
Wait for us, world
We’re coming home

Each breath is poison now
Our time is running out
In seconds this could all burn to the ground

The clouds are drawing in
Rain’s dripping down my skin
But this time we won’t let them win

The world’s balanced in our hands
Tonight, the darkness ends

Black is the color of our ashes
Embedded in the wings of our dead
Fly
Into the afterlight

Black is the color of our story
With it we’ll write the late eulogies
Wait for us, world
We’re coming home

Welcome to the afterlight
It’ beautiful beyond the fight
And I’m finally alive

Black is the color of unity
The only way to tell our story
We’re alive
We’re alive

Black is the color of our ashes
Black is the color of our ashes

Red is the color of our passion
Blue is a gentle heart I’ve breathed in
Green
Is the hero within me

Yellow’s the color of sacrifice
Orange is a beautiful dark mind
Fly
Into the afterlight
