Lyrics
A firefly did drop
As we all watched the black smoke rise
And without a sign of remorse
We let the insect die
The chimneys stood like monuments
Of what we could achieve
As technology evolved
And all codes disappeared
We did efface every face
And we repressed our second thoughts
And while flies did buzz around their eyes
Our shame and guilt was lost
A factory was built
But no goods were to be found
At the end of the production line
Ashes on the ground
Only ashes on the ground
And the acidic smell of needless to be found
Only ashes in the air
And everywhere
As the ashes turned to ashes
We all bowed our heads in shame
Now the chimneys stood like monuments
Of the people we became
And an awful smell still filled the air
As decades slowly passed
All our actions were affected
By the left hand of the past
But our memories won't last for long
The echo of a song
So cynical and sad
Will have an impact on us all
Another firefly will drop
We will watch the black smoke rise
And without a sign of remorse
We will let the insect die
Only ashes on the ground
And the acidic smell of needless to be found
Only ashes in the air
And everywhere
