Empire of Rust Lyrics


In the depths of space

in a place where life ends

You’re shining in the dark

like a red-painted star

dry and hard

without activity

only the wind carries a memory

about your past

your surface is full of scars

from pole to pole

along the equator

no magnetic field

deadly solar wind

The time is running out

We must leave you now

with hearts full of emptiness

retreating from our home

Before the tears dry up

before we change our mind

the last breath before we fly away

Farewell my home

and everything I used to know

One day I'll forget

somewhere in a different place
