Lyrics Tech Noir 2 (feat. John Carpenter, Charlie Simpson & Tim Cappello) - GUNSHIP

I'm recording this because
The survivors no longer envy the dead
The final war is over
Its architects forever entombed
In melted glass and steel
I watched the efforts of our species
Dance away on the radioactive wind
Civilisation retreated by millennia
All of human history wrought to dust
Our cities, now scorched black mausoleums
Serve as a reminder
There can be no victory in war
Birth is the answer
To the question of our mortality
With resolute defiance
We choose to grasp
At the delicate thread of life
My son the gift of survival is yours
Please, may you never submit
There will be more

This is it, we are on our own
The air is clear
Welcome home

We're headed straight for oblivion
But we're gonna make it
Whatever it takes
I just wanna be with you

Lost love and revelations
Heavy rain diffuse the sun
Look up and wash it all away

We all know how this ends
Up above the skylines
Drifting in and out around us
But I know, I know, I know you're here
Can we rebuild everything
I can see the angel dust
It's raining down upon us
So I know, I know, I know we'll be safe
We can rise through the fire

Our road's paved in crushed up skulls
Ride with me to the end of the world

We're headed straight for oblivion
Just keep it lit, here we go again
And we'll fly right through
I just wanna be with you

Lost love and revelations
Heavy rain diffuse the sun
Look up and wash it all away

We all know how this ends
Up above the skylines
Drifting in and out around us
But I know, I know, I know you're here
Can we rebuild everything
I can see the angel dust
It's raining down upon us
So I know, I know, I know we'll be safe
We can rise through the fire

There's a void in my head
There's nowhere I can hide
There's a shiver in her breath
As she slowly closes the other eye
Time stood still
We danced on broken glass
Yeah I'm afraid of nothing when I'm with you

All hell can't stop us if we stay together
Let's live then die
Then live like this forever

We all know how this ends
Up above the skylines
Drifting in and out around us
But I know, I know, I know you're here
Can we rebuild everything
I can see the angel dust
It's raining down upon us
So I know, I know, I know we'll be safe
We can rise through the fire
