And every road you tried was blocked with burnt-out cars Used the smoke in the distance as a goal and took the forest paths Kept fires 'til morning Kept fires every night Until you broke into the aftermath [Chorus] So flare the darkness And blow on the ashes Casting spells vs. playing with matches Say casualties Say poor collateral
'Cause all that matters is just winning these battles So you should keep your head down Wait out in the wreckage and the rubble you used to call home Whole cities lie empty Whole cities are ghost towns now Now you know how quiet an apocalypse sounds [Chorus] So goodnight hometown Don't miss me too much
