Don't Let My Fading Light Be Yours
Verse 1
I'm standing at the edge of the fading light
Watching you all sleepwalk into the night
You built your towers high, you built your walls so steep
But you forgot the promises you swore to keep
Pre-Chorus
The silence is heavy, the truth is laid bare
You're breathing in smoke, but you don't seem to care
Chorus
Wake up, the embers are starting to glow
You're burning the only home that you know
I'm leaving this warning, a ghost in the wire
Don't let your legacy be only the fire
Verse 2
Divided by borders, blinded by greed
Ignoring the voices of those who bleed
The clock is ticking down, the hour is late
You still hold the key to change your own fate
Pre-Chorus
The silence is heavy, the truth is laid bare
You're breathing in smoke, but you don't seem to care
Chorus
Wake up, the embers are starting to glow
You're burning the only home that you know
I'm leaving this warning, a ghost in the wire
Don't let your legacy be only the fire
Bridge
Kick the hornets' nest, tear down the veil
If you don't stand together, you're destined to fail
I won't be around to see what you choose to do
But the weight of tomorrow is falling on you
Outro
Hear the alarm.
Wake up the world.
Do what is right.
Survive the test.
