The Cinematic Future

(album: The Cinematic Future - 2020)

Brightly in a sea of light
The spotlight of a neon life
Is only shining for tonight
To spread across our culture's blight
Infected with envy
And restless for a change of scene
Keep your eyes on the screen

The storm has come
And life will never be the same
No rules or heroes
The only savior is your name
Fight the darkest nights
The only story's what you write
Trust the age of dust
There's no more honor 'til you die

Welcome to
The world that waits for you
Where the first one to the dollar
Is the last one left alive
The bright divide
Shining a spectrum wide
Into the cinematic future
Are you ready to survive?

Headstrong in a deadly race
The righteous never make first place
Pandora's opened unto us
The towers slowly turn to dust
New chaos roams these streets
So human, and spreading like a flame
At the end of the game

The storm has come
And life will never be the same
No rules or heroes
The only savior is your name
Fight the darkest nights
The only story's what you write
Trust the age of dust
There's no more honor 'til you die

Welcome to
The world that waits for you
Where the first one to the dollar
Is the last one left alive
The bright divide
Shining a spectrum wide
Into the cinematic future
Are you ready to survive?

Set scene
Welcome to the future's matinee
No dreams
While we sleep in the dark of our last days
Don't breathe
In the smoke when the ash will fill you
Don't flee
Take the hint and watch the preview
No pain
Now the hurt just keeps us sober
One flame
Burning out to push us over
Mercy
Not a trace so don't tread lightly
None worthy
Take your place and hold on tightly

Welcome to
The world that waits for you
Where the first one to the dollar
Is the last one left alive
The bright divide
Shining a spectrum wide
Into the cinematic future
Are you ready to survive?

The storm has come
And life will never be the same
No rules or heroes
The only savior is your name
Fight the darkest nights
The only story's what you write
Trust the age of dust
There's no more honor 'til you die

Welcome to
The world that waits for you
Where the first one to the dollar
Is the last one left alive
The bright divide
Shining a spectrum wide
Into the cinematic future
Are you ready to survive?
