The Future from Dead Lights by DEAD LIGHTS

THE FUTURE

It ends in death, a wasteland.
As I’m walking through hell.

I walk alone in atomic wind,
Atoning for someone else’s sins.
Death, dust, odd machines.
With no gods left to please.
All of time left to repent,
And i still don’t know what it all meant.
So give us pain, acid rain,
Give us all the same again.

Welcome to the future.
We all fall down.
Welcome to the future.
Oblivion for all.

I can’t think when, where or how.
I don’t remember now.
That last glimpse of humanity,
Leaving your eye
when you looked at me.
Your scream when it all went wrong.
In the homely glow of an atom bomb.
The things i miss, your kiss,
Your ash between my fingertips.

Welcome to the future.
We all fall down.
Welcome to the future.
Oblivion for all.

What did you die for?
See what this hell has done to me?
See.
So what did you die for?
Why did you leave?
What did you die for?
You drowned in what you believe.

And so it goes.
The rest will follow.
And so it goes.
Like flesh falls from the bone.
And so it goes.
The rest will follow.
Reap what you sow.
Things best left unknown.

Farewell to everything.
Farewell to everything.
Dust and ruins.

Come with me now.
Come, come to the fall.
