Lyrics

[Refrain] Every morrow, every year Choir of sounds The final sorrow, so shed a tear [Verse 1] Someone dies within creation Doubts in everlasting life How to lie to one innocent child You are loved, I'm execrated You belong, I circle strife Routine pathways in escape from the wild [Chorus] We are left in a city all alone In the breathing of ashes On the earth, one second Just a piece of meat in essence [Refrain] Every morrow, every year Choir of sounds The final sorrow, so shed a tear [Chorus] We are left in a city all alone In the breathing of ashes On the earth, one second Just a piece of meat in essence We are left in a world that's burning Crawling through embers to safety And my name is next to last Feast on famine and death on the broadcast [Bridge] Finding friends in algorithms Forgot the sound of my daughter's voice Please remind me of my emptiness The hissing of machines lost rhythm As death would give an interview In a metropolitan holiness I am outside waiting Outside waiting I am outside waiting Outside waiting [Outro] Am I the last one of my kind Who's afraid of dying? But I would perish to save a child And give all I can for love It seems I might have reconciled Even if my destiny's lying For the ones I hold dear I hold close And force my way through the ether
