Chris Michaud - embers

There's no salvation
Yeah, there's no god above
There's no reason for
Any of what this has become

We sought light
And we found shadows in its wake
We took and took and we took
Until there was nothing left to take

So we rise
Bloodied hands and dirty faces
We changed, didn't we?
So we tried
Shattered hearts and wicked lies
We lost it all, didn't we?

There's no healing waters
There's no putting out the flames
All of this is lost
All of this is gone

There's no reconciliation
There's no hope of revival
All of this is lost
Yeah, all of this is gone

There's no time,
There's no reason
There's no joy in
Watching you slip away

We survived as we could
In wreckage and in ruins
We built and built but nothing could hold
Nothing could sustain

So we go down
Bloodied hands and nervous eyes
We've lost our way
So we'll survive
Broken dreams and tormented things
We gave it our all

There's no magic potion
No whispered wish on the wind
Just embers in the ashfall
Just memories remain

There's no reconciliation
There's no joy in the fight
Just hushed murmurs of the end
Just our hands stained with red

Variations on a memory
Which road did we take?
Which one did we leave behind?

There's no way to make
These dreams become real again
I know, I know, I know, I know

There's no reconciliation
No way to bring you back to life
No more joyful days
No more endless light

Just embers in the ashfall
Just embers in the ashfall now
Just embers in the ashfall
Just embers remain
