BURIED IN THE ASHES
The television flickered
Then the whole room turned black
I heard the sirens fading And I knew there was no going
back
I looked across the room
And you were looking back at me
Funny how the end of everything Could feel so quietly
peaceful
The streets are empty tonight
No headlights passing by
The moon is hiding somewhere
Behind a burning sky
There's dust across the windows
Ash falling like snow
If this is where it ends,
my love There's nowhere else I'd go
Everybody's running
Everybody's gone
But you keep holding onto me Like we could still go on
If we're buried in the ashes
Let me find you there
When the whole world disappears I'll still know you're somewhere
If the stars stop shining
And the heavens turn black
I'll hold you through the silence And I won't look back
The buildings are glowing Somewhere beyond our door
We don't hear the city anymore
Like we did before
You tell me not to worry
I tell you I'm alright
Maybe we're pretending But I like this little lie
Everybody's leaving There's nothing left to save
But when you put your hand in mine
I don't feel afraid
If we're buried in the ashes
Let me find you there When the whole world disappears I'll still
know you're somewhere
If the stars stop shining
And the heavens turn black
I'll hold you through the silence And I won't look back
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The sky is falling slowly Ooh-ooh-ooh
But you're still here beside me
Maybe love was never meant To outlive everything
Maybe it was meant to stay Until the final thing
If we're buried in the ashes
Let me find you there
When the whole world disappears I'll still know you're somewhere
When the last light fades And there's nothing left to see
I'll stay right here beside you If you're staying here with me
When the whole sky burns above us When the morning never comes
We'll have this little moment Before the world is gone And if
there's nothing left tomorrow If the ashes cover everything
I'll still be right here beside you Till there's nothing left of
me
Ooh-ooh-ooh... Ooh-ooh-ooh...
