Beneath the Ashen Sky

Lyrics

In the neon twilight, the stage is bare, Silhouettes in the spotlight, a desolate affair. Rockets paint the skies in a fiery glow, The last dance beckons, as we face the final show. The empress in her bunker counting hours Echoes of the blasts bloom like deadly flowers The viscount spinning vinyl as the missiles are descending And the generals orchestrate the waltz that's never ending Survive, just thrive, they cry Beneath the ashen sky The joker strikes a match to start the cabaret While shadows dance to records that the end will play The court fool sings in riddles of the neon haze Tales of yesterday, now lost in skyward blaze Alive, revive, they sigh Through twilight's last reply [music stops] This is an emergency broadcast. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. [music picks up again]
