Ember City Lyrics

You walk with boundless grace
Think old thoughts from yesterday
All being lost in the fire
You wandered and lost the way
Someone's always left behind
When the door of life closes

And you were slipping away
What do I say to you?
What do I say to you?
And if I want you to stay
What do I say to you?
What do I say to you?

This moment I take for you
Think of all we didn't do
All seeking answers from this
Hope to come out alive
Standing still my hands are tied
Our eyes open up to the sky

And you were slipping away
What do I say to you?
What do I say to you?
And if I want you to stay
What do I say to you?
What do I say to you?

And you were slipping away
What do I say to you?
What do I say to you?
And if I want you to stay
What do I say to you?
What do I say to you?

Ember City

The song title implies someone encircled by dimming personal prospects. Bassist Troy Sanders told Kerrang! magazine: "This is the first song I wrote lyrics for on this album, so in that sense it reminds me of that specific period of time."
