Ascension

{slow instrumental build, low-frequency rumble,

sparse clean electric guitar pluck} (hmmm,

yeah)

Watch the smoke rise from the street

Heavy steps on cold concrete

No one talking, no one cares

Quiet shadows on the stairs

{beat kicks in slow,

sharp low voice} We keep moving through the dark

Waiting for a single spark (waiting) Every step is on the line

Just another slice of time

{soaring dark vocal melody,

melodic backing chords} Keep the head down,

keep it real

Iron will and hands of steel

Clock is ticking down the block

Lock the gates and turn the lock

{sharp delivery, gritty textures}

All the walls are closing in

Where we end is where we begin {drums drop out,

ambient swell,

filters closing}

We keep moving through the dark

Waiting for a single spark (waiting)

Every step is on the line

Just another slice of time {climax,

heavy beat returns

with synth lead}

Just another slice of time (slice of time) {beat fades,

only sparse guitar chords

and low rumble remaining}
