Downfall

from A Mind's Portrait by Phenome

/

lyrics

Voices screaming, fires light up the night
The city burns with neon scars and blazing light
Demolition widespread, nothing to remain
Another revolution born again
Fighting for survival inside your burning creed
Waiting for a chance to strike amongst your pain and greed
Determination setting in, your hearts held cold as steel
With nothing left to lose, and nothing you can feel

Hold on
To your moment
Hold on
Don't let go

Another day has come and gone, and still we wait
With shaking hands and baited breath, the seconds slip away
Our voices echo in the night, and wear upon our sleeves
To the sound of smashing glass and broken dreams
And though it seems there's far to go, we're nearly home
And though it seems like everyone has gone, we're not alone
And far away from where we started, the fight is raging on
Your immolation forges through, until everything is gone

Standing on the edge of oblivion
Staring chaos in the face
Revolution come undone, burning bright
Tearing down all time and space

As the gates of destruction are opened
The colours fly beneath the stars
As the streets run red with the conflict
Leaving nothing behind but scars
All that we know is corroded
Collapsing, decayed and undone
As the dawn breaks and ashes burn
There's nowhere left to run

So I'll wait for the dawn to arrive
But I know that this will be our downfall
