As I stare into these ruins made by man I tremble as I realize it's the end More and more I wonder what we could have done But instead we wage a war that can't be won Yeah instead we wage a war that can't be won I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved Memories of a broken heart Now I'm alone in the dark I know there's a way out when all hope is gone Find your light in a new dawn But there's no way to do this on our own (I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved) (I know there's a way out when all hope is gone) I search for solace in this waste that I once called home But my attempts of piecing life together leaves me alone I can't repair what's been done When the sky is as black as the ground that I walk on But I can't give up on this No, I can't give up on this I have to wonder what we could have done I have to wonder But instead we wage a war that can't be won Yeah instead we wage a war that can't be won I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved Memories of a broken heart Now I'm alone in the dark I know there's a way out when all hope is gone Find your light in a new dawn But there's no way to do this on our own (I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved) (I know there's a way out when all hope is gone)
