Burns to Embrace lyrics

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
