Afterglow - Assemblage 23

The snow is drifting, the ground is frozen

Another quiet winter night

«Incoming objects have been detected»

A sudden flash of brilliant light

The sky is falling

In molten ribbons streaming down below

Our fate is calling

The children singing in the afterglow

The wind is fire, the ground is liquid

The churning oceans vaporized

The heavens darken, the world forsaken

A witness to our own demise

The sky is falling

In molten ribbons streaming down below

Our fate is calling

The children singing in the afterglow

The ashes blow across the desert

The carcass of a ruined age

All our gold and all our wisdom

Against the Universe’s rage

The sky is falling

In molten ribbons streaming down below

Our fate is calling

The children singing in the afterglow
