Lyrics Kamelot – Burns To Embrace

We teach them to pretend
Not to break the line
To always look away
And never ask why

We sit beside the cradle
We tell them to be brave
But when the warning sounds
It echoes to the grave

We keep blindly moving
Along the same old path
No common sense
Would guide us back to life

Now look at us
The pinnacle conception
How we assumed
These walls would never fall

Sleep
Farewell forever child
Farewell

We are the last to walk the earth
And watch the passing ages slowly sail
How it burns to embrace
That below the lilac skies
Eternity is just a breath away

In lockstep to damnation
To our dying breath
Every reckless footprint
Leaves the smell of death

On the wilting meadows
We let them out to play

Sleep
Farewell forever

We are the last to walk the earth
And watch the passing ages slowly sail
How it burns to embrace
That below the lilac skies
Eternity is just a breath away
