about

A hardened girl is out wandering alone in the dust. She comes across a old-ager, running his hands through the flames of a dying fire.

lyrics

Light the fire, run your hands through the flame,
I’m sorry kid, I didn’t catch your name.
I’ve been running alone for so long,
Since the bombs were dropped, and hope was gone

I remember how the dust took the sky for its own,
how the wastelands where forged from broken cars and broken homes
my body nearly falling in the screaming chill
I’ve had to cry, and i’ve had to kill.

So It makes a nice change to meet a soul like yours
who still looks upon me like i’m the man from before.
you see beyond the sores and scars
if you look hard enough at the smoke, you’ll see through to the stars

How does it feel, to know we’re amongst the last ones left,
cause you know we are, we are, we are,
How does feel kid, to know that we are survivors
cause you know that we are, we are, we, are

I don’t know about you, but I plan to build
for the people of the future who have got the skill
to allow the world to grow once more,
to return things to the way that they where before.

Its nice of you to say that I see through the your shell,
but that’s only because it is so easy to tell
that you’ve given up your body for a chance to be free
and you are projecting all your hopes and aspirations on me

The wasteland is now, we are the dead
but hope is alive, it is not like you said,
as long as we believe that the dust will clear
we can rise again, we can start right here.

So how to does feel, to know that we are the genesis
cause you know that we are, we are, we are
So how does it feel mister, to know we are architects
cause you know that we are, we are, we are.

The old man and the girl, they talk until dawn,
whisky and flames keeping them warm
He talks of consequences and he tells her of proof
she says his words lack meaning, and that she makes her own truth

Girl that’s absurd, he says scratching his head,
nothing has changed save the living to the dead
Old man you’re confused, she says whilst taking a drink
you truly are lost if that is what you think.

Don’t just tell me I’m wrong, he says, tell me how
tell me the difference between then and now
she says once there were them, they were separate and two.
Now there is us, there is me and there is you.

The slates are clean as the conversation dries,
each has laughed, cared and cried
They huddle for warmth as the last of the embers die,
beneath dust, and smoke, and fireflies
