I'm back with a new song! This is a repolished version of something I wrote over three years ago after listening to some of Muse's old albums on repeat. A dark, gothic atmosphere was something I wanted to capture in this song about the illusion of permanence in the world. I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Buildings reaching to the sky
Like ancient kings given command
They're strong, you built these walls of stone
But even so, they will not stand

[Pre-Chorus]
Red heat flickers at night
Eating up all the light

[Chorus]
Windows melting slipping to the ground
Pillars to the centuries gone
Keep on looking for the night again
Turn away this early dawn

[Verse 2]
Corpses reaching to the sky
Their ancient bones against the clouds
Blocking out the morning rays
And leaving visions with the crowds

[Pre-Chorus]
Red heat flickers at night

[Chorus] x2

[Outro]
Red heat, red heat!
