lyrics

Particles in the air
A world for which we were unprepared
An invisible thread, a new enemy
Testing the vow of solidarity, but...

Silence
How was this system ever supposed to take care of us?
Our defense decaying into dust

We cannot run from this
The face of fatal consequence
A bottomless abyss
We all will fall into

Pain and death on the wind
I never could anticipate the frailty of this mortal coil
So few have hope for the answer 
(I don't know how much more I've left to give)

Give me something I can hold onto
To stave off the monotony
The solitude
(It's just a matter of time before the cold)

Contagion of an age
A fever to begin the end
A bottomless abyss
We all will fall into
Dust
Horizon drowned in dust
No aid to brave the consequence
Just dust that our defense and trust decayed into

Fighting at the frontlines

Delirious chaos manifold
All crave the machinery they withhold
While stellar souls hoard their spells
In the dance of dimensions
Affixed to peace is corruption's leash

Fading at the frontlines (Pressure relentless)
The hours pounding at our minds (Pounding at your mind)
Grinding through the night
Just to realize that I can’t save them all (You can't save them all)

Contagion of an age is here
I control this horizon from the tower
My power
Ever on high, my throne

Pain and cold
Contagion of an age
A fever to begin the end
A bottomless abyss
We all will fall into
Dust
Horizon drowned in dust
Five hundred thousand lives away
It lies in wait, this tomb
Theirs souls to seal into
