Luke Benjamins - Ascension lyrics

Long before there was you and I The ancient ones lived in the sky A kingdom built upon the stars A million tiny points of light Do you ever wonder where they've gone? (There's something up there in the sky) Don't you ever wonder why? The ancient ones they rose and fell For reasons that we just can't tell Cataclysm - maybe so Perhaps we're just not meant to know Empire never lasts or so it seems (There's something up there in the sky) But some say they're still with us in our dreams Ascending off to god knows where the ancient ones took parole Legend says they were running from a force beyond their control And the kingdom that was left behind Was turned to dust from which mankind Did first emerge like cinders up from the coal And you and I we are the ash Of demons slain and cities smashed The ancient ones they reached too far And thus for now the world is ours And though it's just a legend so they say (There's something up there in the sky) Perhaps they will return again someday
