Only when
Ash pours from the sky
We see
At least there is something
For light to cut through

Now that there is only ash
At last I see the light shining through
Impurity
Brings forth the worst of life

Gaze at your wound, still fresh
Now for all of us to see
Hush your flesh, cut wide
Let it shine right through

Cover it all, let it rot
To be forgot in the dark
Bury it all, burn away
The sins of our fathers

Rats from the wreck roam these streets
Hail lords of the wasteland
Plenty to feast, new life blooms
From beneath the downfall

Down, you shine so bright
Decimate, guide our way
Let it burn a hole
Purify, build anew

Ainoastaan
Kun tuhkaa sataa
Vihdoin jotain
Jota valon leikata

Ainoastaan
Vihdoin
Ja taas

Spread the disease
Spit my bile
Over everything you are
On all that may befall my way

Hide, run for cover
As I torch your halls
From the tongue most vile
The dark drips forth

See what could've been built
Of all of our hate
All that could've been forged
With the flame
That drew our shades
On the corners of your walls

Tilt that head
Let me drain your warmth
See this disease
A shadow
Blacking out your star

Lay your arms
As I close your eyes
Feel me swarm
Longing to bite
Closing in on your throat

Dear journal, I write this as our time grows short
We are once again nearing the edge
You can tell by the way the glow is closing in
What started as a black pillar now fills the horizon
We can see far from here
But there is not much to do to prevent the inevitable
It's like we were dirt between two cogs
A meaningless speck in front of an unstoppable force

It's like the glue holding our days together
Now had gone, vanished into the air
We had to leave all hope behind
Some spent their last days staring at the sky

Our calm didn't last
They told me it never does
It's getting dark again
Hear the screams as
The alarm goes off

To whoever finds these words
I just wanted say
Some days were good it was never
Meant to end this way

Murmurs in the shadows
Ominous schemes for the sole purpose of power
A long line of random occurrences
That slowly took the shape of a plan

I raise my glass to those
Who knew and still
Took against
The coming storm

This is for you
This is for all of you
Who had the strength
To march against the coming storm

Sido yhteen
Revi auki

Kun maa on vaiti
Usvan keskeltä kasvanut
Hauraista haurain

Auer alas, tule
Pue se päälleni

Somehow I am still here
Drawing the cold air in
Shocked
At loss for words

I can sense you presence
Lingering here
But I cannot see
Through the fog

Something fragile
Caught in the machine

Fight a lifetime to survive
To earn you price
On hostile ground
Now crawl your way
Just to fall from the top

Cover under your smile
Hide your wealth
Learn to know
Your only place

Know your place

Pride is for the weak
Wrap up
All the mistakes
In a veil of silence
Show no joy
We are not here
To speak our minds

The ground still burns
Where we once stood
And lost the last ounce
Of our strength

This is the void
And we are here
Not to be seen,
Cared or heard

I raise my head
In awe of this cursed earth, alone
ON all that we built
Everything we chose to raze into the ground

Can someone remember
The point in all of this
Tell me where
We lost our heads

Fear travels fast
A man is just a vessel
And love
Is no match for violence

New shadows are hanging
Upon our old darkness

No place to hide
Better keep your loved ones close

Turn your back
To the terror
Dread taking the streets
And no one gets saved
Fear travels fast
Blindfold makes it
Easier to fall

Fear travels fast

Too close
To not get involved
Way too far
To see the shapes in the sky

Knowledge does not flow
From a dead race
And death comes
Following a beam of light

Like severed senses
So easy to lure us away
To make sure we stay on track
That there is no one to warn
About the train

What does it matter now
Who got to be wrong or right
We all are burned the same
Not one of us gets to stay

We all had our options
We just chose to give em away
For a moment of passion
To sound out a worthless voice
In the wind

Rain comes
Down on us
Air seems
To stop its move

Sing a song
While we wait
Overture
To connect the ends

Behold
The hanging blade
Looming still
To cut us
On command

Remind us
What we are worth
Sing a song
While we wait
For demise

Join me at the helm
Destiny calls our names
Hold my hand, my dearest
Feel the growing waves

One day our part
Is to be found
Just to be forgotten
Once again

Please stand with me
Support my broken frame
As we steer
Into the mouth of doom

Siren screams from the sky
See how the light twists
Begins to pain
Shadows are here again
Well we had a good run

I crawl because I still
Have the strength to pull myself
As the flames
Ignite the sky
I memorize the path

We traveled for so long
Undeserving, ignorant
Now it comes together
This is where we met
Here we will depart

Please take me away
I need to be
Anywhere but here
Guide me back to the start
This time
We will get it right
