[Verse 1] Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall I am ever enthralled Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well 'Til fashion is dispelled [Pre-Hook] As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion You're going out, going out forever unknown These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion (These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile) You're going out, going out forever unknown (Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unknown) [Hook] From above a rain of ashes descends Anathema I will remain, forever will remain From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn [Verse 2] Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside No life, but nothing's died No lights, but quite the show Just as long as no one ever knows All motion is pantomime [Pre-Hook] [Hook] [Bridge] Dancing in the rain of descending ash Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling Dancing in the rain of descending ash Dancing in your dust, I'll see you all falling [Bridge 2] I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart) I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart) [Hook]
