Lyrics
I bask in the glow as I turn an ember to flame
Enveloping darkness is once again tamed
Tendrils of smoke dance their dance of despair
And the aftertaste lingers overhead in the air
Simmering lifeblood, with a song left to sing
Could I fly above the crags, and live my life on the wing
I'll always question why the world is wild again
And the answers lie back where the story began
Wingspan of an angel
Soaring through the hazy realm
Camouflaged in thе darkening skies
Unaware shе's the saviour
Mirroring the behaviour
Of the will of the traveller, ever stronger
We struggle without purpose
Inept, unkempt and worthless
Our generation was defined
We left our prior lives behind
Flawed underground resistance
Compassionate indifference
No accolades remained
In the broken empty frames
Creating daily martyrs
Atmospheric change discarded
Apocalypse denied
And we gave up the fight
So I'll contour round the mountains
Though the outcome is uncertain
A journey justified
A front row seat to the decline
Wingspan of an angel
Soaring through the hazy realm
Camouflaged in the darkening skies
Unaware she's the saviour
Mirroring the behaviour
Of the will of the traveller, ever stronger
The ghosts of humanity calling
Through the solemn sound of the Ptarmigan's cry
Anterior echoes lamenting
Through the harrowing sound of the Ptarmigan's cry
The bittersweet melancholy
The frightening sound
