As we wander through these dying lands

I'm feeling old and broken

My son is with me, he's God's word

Or God has never spoken

In a fading life between ash and dust

Just one another we can trust

Each is the other's world entire

In a world that was set on fire

I cannot ignite in the heart of my child

What is nothing but ash in my own

How can I give hope, feeling nothing but fear

If only my heart were stone

Coated by a darkness,

Like pilgrims in a tale

Like ghosts we're roaming on the road

Beneath a sky all grey and pale

Mankind is no longer human

But can we blaze a fire?

Always hidden, always secret

His survival is my desire

I cannot ignite in the heart of my child

What is nothing but ash in my own

How can I give hope, feeling nothing but fear

If only my heart were stone

The days are grey, the soil is burnt

The road is long and dark

Hope is a lie, but I can't tell him

There's an emptiness in my heart

I cannot ignite in the heart of my child

What is nothing but ash in my own

How can I give hope, feeling nothing but fear

If only my heart were stone

The days are grey, the soil is burnt

The road is long and dark

Hope is a lie, but I can't tell him

There's an emptiness in my heart
