Remains

The visions benign The visions benign will be gone What’s left of all the fortune that we used to once retain It was taken all for granted, wasted, now it is too late Collecting all the pieces that have scattered far and wide Now what’s left to do is just to fly We need to cut our chains so we can get higher We need to overcome what we can’t condone And while our values burn in the heat of the pyre The universe will call our name Call us home when nothing else remains When nothing else remains Grey like all the wisdom that we used to once possess Blue like the aimless spirit that threw away all its success Red like the all bloodshed, spilled by the ton in vain Left us crimson scars, these marks that will remain The visions benign The visions benign will be gone We must configure the fate of humankind We fought for traces like vultures in denial Inept to save us the planet carries on Once brilliant tale will soon be gone Burn this place and bury what remains We need to cut our chains so we can get higher We need to overcome what we can’t condone And while our values burn in the heat of the pyre The universe will call our name The decadence has soiled what we used to aspire for When things have spiraled out of our loose control And while our values burn in the heat of the pyre The universe will call our name Call us home when nothing else remains When nothing else remains There’s nothing but remains
