From Flesh to Ashes Lyrics


A cold and empty room

So many people but no one I knew

The air was heavy with impending death

I knew that this was my end

Not a chance to say goodbye

Not a comforting word or a friendly smile

Just a sea of death and masked faces

I was left in death's embrace

Death took us all, everyone

No place to go, nowhere to run

We didn't pay heed to the signs

This arrogance of ours has left us blind

We forget to wake up in the end

Undisturbed by the sound of the avalanche

Everything happening is inevitable

Time we fall

And this is all we're meant to be

Cut the cord and set me free

This human race a disease

We burned the world to feed our greed

And this too shall pass

And this was never meant to last

First we lost our senses

And then we lost our way

Blinded by promise of better days

We built temples in the name of false gods

Worshipped dictators, our downfall

We let hate rise and we let hate breed

We killed innocents because of our beliefs

And this is all we're meant to be

Cut the cord and set me free

This human race a disease

We burned the world to feed our greed

And this too shall pass

As the world turns

As it burns

All that once was, is forgotten

Tell me now is it really all gone?

Tell me now is it really all gone?

And this too shall pass

And this was never meant to last

And we turn from flesh to ashes

No one to mourn, no gathering masses

There is no urn, no coffin, no pyre

All that is left is the silence and dust

All of the forces that paved the way

Everything is gone, nothing remains

Death is equal it does not discriminate

Between the king and the slave

And when the world came crumbling down

Nothing remains
