Relics to Ruins

I watch the orange glow in the sky

In the ashes, it became clear

This place was home for you and I

Now in ruins, our future in fear

With nothing left, it was all burnt to the ground

I found no comfort in these uncrowded streets

And memories of times and the places that were there

I've got to pull you out from under this place

What do we do here?

Holding on still, breath, we're on our way

Breaking through all the pieces in the way

Crawling over mountains we can climb

We'll get out in time

The trail had lead me back to the places I had been

The smoke had cleared and opened the sky

I saw you buried there to my own disbelief

And there were tears all in your eyes

You said, "Now, son, they can break my heart

But they will never tear us apart"

And we'll live just to get out of this place

We're picking up where we left, we're on our way

Don't give up, son, you know it's time to fight

And get out all right"

Sing out, sing while you can and we'll live again

I'll go where I find ya a meadow, we're almost there

And don't give up, we can fight on, I know we can

It's almost over, I swear, yeah, we'll make it and

We made it past

They caught up with us and know we're done
