lyrics

As we wander through these dying lands
I'm feeling old and broken
My son is with me, he's God's word
Or God has never spoken

In a fading life between ash and dust
Just one another we can trust
Each is the other's world entire
In a world that was set on fire

I cannot ignite in the heart of my child
What is nothing but ash in my own
How can I give hope, feeling nothing but fear
If only my heart were stone

Coated by a darkness,
Like pilgrims in a tale
Like ghosts we're roaming on the road
Beneath a sky all grey and pale

Mankind is no longer human
But can we blaze a fire?
Always hidden, always secret
His survival is my desire

I cannot ignite in the heart of my child
What is nothing but ash in my own
How can I give hope, feeling nothing but fear
If only my heart were stone

The days are grey, the soil is burnt
The road is long and dark
Hope is a lie, but I can't tell him
There's an emptiness in my heart

I cannot ignite in the heart of my child
What is nothing but ash in my own
How can I give hope, feeling nothing but fear
If only my heart were stone

The days are grey, the soil is burnt
The road is long and dark
Hope is a lie, but I can't tell him
There's an emptiness in my heart
