ASSEMBLAGE 23 lyrics : "Smoke"

A smear of grey across the sky
A warning in the distance
An indecipherable alarm


And there we stood, our mouths agape
The deer caught in the headlights

Our minds adrift and far from harm

Chorus:

Smoke on the horizon
Can the flames be far behind?
We run for cover, but its too late

We are engulfed, we are
The smoke on the horizon


Nothing ventured, nothing lost
We paid the price, but at what cost?
We sold our future to the past


Accept a necessary doom
Too easily and way too soon

Ignore the wisdom we amassed

[Chorus]


A smudge of ash across the ground
An undelivered message

All that remains is memory

A gust of wind across the plains

Carries away the remnants
Into forgotten history


[Chorus]
