Kamelot ➢ Ashen World (feat. Ignacia Fernández)
[Verse 1: Tommy Karevik]
In a world built of torment
Under smoke-blackened orbits
I was carving your name in the marrow of night
While the lamplight expires in venomous white
[Pre-Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
The angels were silent, their wings folded shut
And the city bled dreamers through alleyway cuts
[Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
Let's escape
Escape this Ashen World
Where the hearts are sold and the flags unfurled
We'll rebuild a realm from forgotten dreams
Where creation rises through fractured seams
Far away beyond their schemes
[Verse 2: Tommy Karevik]
There are corridors hollow
Where the wretched gods swallow
Every spark that would dare to illuminate pain
Yet we kept one alive, in the dark like a stain
[Pre-Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
So gather the embers and breathe them to flame
We'll craft a new cosmos and burn out their name
[Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
Let's escape
Escape this Ashen World
Where the hearts are sold and the flags unfurl
We'll rebuild a realm from forgotten dreams
Where creation rises through fractured seams
Far away beyond their schemes
[Post-Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
Far away
Far away
Far away beyond their schemes
[Bridge: Tommy Karevik, Tommy Karevik & Ignacia Fernández]
Oh - Ink on your wrist like a fallen saint
Oh - Blood mixing red with the poets paint
Oh - Silence made sharp with a silver vow
Oh - We leave them behind
We leave them all
[Pre-Chorus: Tommy Karevik, Tommy Karevik & Ignacia Fernández]
So escape
Escape this carnivorous night
Where the ghosts in glass
Beg for second sight
We'll invent a world from our dying gleams
Where the cruel dissolve into fractured dreams
Burn
[Chorus: Tommy Karevik & Ignacia Fernández, Tommy Karevik]
Let's escape
Escape this Ashen World
Where the hearts are sold and the flags unfurl
We'll rebuild a realm from forgotten dreams
As creation rises through fractured seams
Far away beyond their schemes (Far away)
[Outro: Tommy Karevik, Ignacia Fernández]
Far away beyond their schemes
Beyond their schemes
Beyond their schemes
