Holding your breath
for just a second too long.
One moment in time
to bury the ember
under the falling sky.
The stars in the night sparkle
upon the black fabric of space.
Reminding us all
of our own insignificance.
But somehow we've
never looked so divine,
'Cause with just one word
we can change the world.

Intro by The XX

Ghost Walking by Lamb of God

Obliteration never looked so divine.
Holding your breath for the moment in time.
You lived through hell, now you're trying to die.
The skin is healed but you're bleeding inside.
Shots fired just to numb the pain.
There's no one left to save.
