Ashes from Firmament by Dim Gray

Just a matter of minutes until dawn
Just a matter of minutes until we awake
Just a matter of minutes until dawn
Just a matter of minutes until morning breaks
 
Here it comes
You sense there’s something wrong
Here it comes
The sunrise like a bomb
Here it comes
I had things going on
Here it comes
Here it comes

Strike me right down
Blow me to pieces
Ashes rain down
Falling to peace on the earth

Looming silhouettes in twilight
They were looking at me, their eyes were glowing
The endless fear of the finite
And the dams that we built were overflowing

Here comes the sea change, the high tide
I can but wait as the seething hate intensifies
On the horizon, the sunrise
Just a matter of minutes left to wonder why

Here it comes
The new sun rising up
Here it comes
The rays pierce flesh and bone
Here it comes
And you, where have you gone?
Here it comes
Here it comes

Strike me right down
Blow me to pieces
Ashes rain down
Falling to peace on the earth

Just a matter of minutes until dawn
Just a matter of minutes until morning breaks
