The world is on its knees Minds shrouded by disease Their chances of salvation may kill me The sky is getting dark Enough to light a spark Can’t snuff a blazing heart Welcome to the ring of fire Let’s dismantle the empire Black is the color of our ashes Embedded in the wings of our dead Fly Into the afterlight Black is the color of our story With it we’ll write the late eulogies Wait for us, world We’re coming home Each breath is poison now Our time is running out In seconds this could all burn to the ground The clouds are drawing in Rain’s dripping down my skin But this time we won’t let them win The world’s balanced in our hands Tonight, the darkness ends Black is the color of our ashes Embedded in the wings of our dead Fly Into the afterlight Black is the color of our story With it we’ll write the late eulogies Wait for us, world We’re coming home Welcome to the afterlight It’ beautiful beyond the fight And I’m finally alive Black is the color of unity The only way to tell our story We’re alive We’re alive Black is the color of our ashes Black is the color of our ashes Red is the color of our passion Blue is a gentle heart I’ve breathed in Green Is the hero within me Yellow’s the color of sacrifice Orange is a beautiful dark mind Fly Into the afterlight
