Awake in Ruins - Half Life

Burn[00:35.45]20 years gone with nothing to show[00:39.92]Another 20 to come, then maybe 20 to go[00:44.19]We set our faces straight and our eyes high[00:48.54]To burn against the silence and the dying light[00:52.85]We've watched so many fall as we've chosen to rise[00:57.33]With more than half of us dead, we're more than half alive![01:19.07]Above a poisoned earth[01:21.45]Below a toxic sky[01:23.49]Plagued with an innate thirst[01:25.74]And an addled mind[01:27.87]We're done with the silence[01:29.98]We're done with the cold[01:32.44]We're done with dust and ash[01:34.21]And we will let the world know[01:54.11]Good-bye to the flowers of yesteryear[01:58.32]The soil devours colors, men live in constant fear[02:02.71]A thousand moons arise above a cloudless sky[02:07.04]To foretell of a famine fit for the end of time[02:28.78]Some say hope has abandoned, some say it isn't near[02:33.21]We say it's within reach, reach through the atmosphere[02:37.58]The smell of yearning drawn in by a rust-stained wind[02:41.82]The husks of bone and flesh rise with us once again[03:03.77]Above a poisoned earth[03:05.98]Below a toxic sky[03:08.11]Plagued with an innate thirst[03:10.27]And an addled mind[03:12.45]We're done with the silence[03:14.74]We're done with the cold[03:16.97]We're done with dust and ash[03:18.92]And we will let the world know[03:21.64]I I I I[03:26.05]I I I I[03:30.50]I I I I[03:34.79]I I I I[03:38.63]Burn[04:04.85]I refuse to end[04:09.13]I choose to live[04:13.52]I refuse to end[04:17.72]I choose to live[04:30.97]I refuse to end[04:35.40]I choose to live[04:40.39]I refuse to end[04:43.91]I choose to live
