Lyrics
When the world burned I faced the task
Reflecting on the aftermath of a catastrophic event, feeling the responsibility to rebuild.
Of rebuilding what I made
Acknowledging the task of reconstructing what was previously created.
I'd raise the sun again
Expressing a determination to bring positivity and light back into the world.
I'd bring them through the end
Commitment to guide others through difficult times and challenges.
And day by day they passed away
Witnessing the gradual passing of time and individuals, possibly facing loss.
Right before my eyes
Observing the changes and challenges unfolding before one's own eyes.
Six became a team of five
A numerical reduction in a team, indicating the loss of a member.
I couldn't help but pass them by
Feeling a sense of helplessness as others are left behind.
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Reflecting on mortality and the transient nature of life.
Honor to glory and iron to rust
Acknowledging the inevitable decay and deterioration of various aspects of life.
Hate to bloodshed from rise to fall
Exploring the transformation from intense dislike to violence and its consequences.
If I never have to die am I alive at all?
Raising existential questions about the meaning of life and identity.
When flames would rise to my allies
Experiencing emotional pain when allies are in distress.
I'd feel the pain inside
Recognizing personal victory, but at a significant personal cost.
I was the victor at a cost
Highlighting the loss of friends with each war and conflict.
With every war a friend was lost
Expressing frustration as pleas for help go unheard or ignored.
On deaf ears fell my cries of hurt
Describing the impact on mental well-being as the last ally succumbs to insanity.
As the last one drove insane
Witnessing a trusted individual deviate from the right path.
He turned and went astray
Feeling isolated and abandoned, with only one's own bloodline remaining.
Only my own blood to fade away
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Reiteration of the transient nature of life and the inevitable return to dust.
Honor to glory and iron to rust
Repeating themes of honor, glory, decay, and the inevitability of rust.
Hate to bloodshed from rise to fall
Revisiting the cycle of hatred leading to violence and the subsequent fall.
If I never have to die am I alive at all?
Raising existential questions about the true meaning of life and existence.
The nightmare began when it all ended
Describing a nightmarish scenario emerging after a significant end.
My own blood the one I had befriended
Realizing that even close relationships, symbolized by blood, can turn hostile.
Ruled in harmony with the better side of me
Recalling a time of harmony and balance within oneself.
But things broke down just when I thought I
Expressing a breakdown in things when it seemed that everything had already been lost.
Had lost everything I could
Reflecting on a perceived loss and the inability to prevent it.
I let her slip away
Regretting letting go of a significant person or opportunity.
She turned her back on me ashes to ashes
Experiencing betrayal as someone turns away, symbolized by ashes.
Dust to dust honor to glory
Reiterating themes of decay, glory, rust, hatred, and the cycle of violence.
And iron to rust hate to bloodshed
From rise to fall if I never have to die
Pondering the nature of life, identity, and the significance of death.
Am I alive at all?
Reiterating existential questions about the true essence of being alive.
Oh ashes to ashes am I alive at all? Oh
Pondering the meaning of life amidst the ashes, questioning the vitality of existence.
Ashes to ashes, oh ashes to ashes oh, oh, oh
Repeating the theme of ashes, emphasizing the uncertainty of being alive.
Am I alive at all?
Questioning the essence of life and existence in the face of uncertainty and change.
