Echoes After The End

The air that once was pure and clean
Now burns like smoke in a toxic dream
Eyes that sting, dry mouths in pain
No words can form it's all in vain

The water that once gave us breath
Now only brings a bitter death
Relentless, poisoned, full of brine
Its salted acid breaks the spine

The food that used to satisfy
Now scarce beneath a starving sky
The world has lost its sense, its soul
No longer striving for a goal

The prayers once passed from voice to voice
Are gone erased without a choice
Forgotten deep in time’s decay
Like dying stars that fade away

The world’s love died, was laid to rest
In golden coffins, richly dressed
For wealth became what people crave
And left no heart, no soul to save

Fools say it’s just conspiracy
But now they face reality
The fate that “Mastral” tried to proclaim
Is here and nothing stays the same

Hearts are breaking, numb inside
No more feelings left to hide
Bones are cracking in despair
While fear infects the midnight air

These are echoes after the end
What’s left of colors once so bright
Is just a poor and ashen blend
As corpses pile in fading light

Whipped by cords of copper flame
The rebels bear their searing shame
Forced to bow before the steel
Where every nightmare becomes real

Faith is gone
It died in fleeting hopes
Love is gone
It drowned in tangled ropes

All that’s left is sinners’ cries
Disgrace now stains the poisoned skies
You see the world fall day by day
And nothing pure remains to stay

These are echoes after the end
What’s left of colors once so bright
Is just a poor and ashen blend
As corpses pile in fading light

Fools say it’s just conspiracy
But now they face reality
The fate that Mastral tried to proclaim
Is here and nothing stays the same

The end has come
This matrix breaks
