Lights flicker then they fade
and nothing at all
Communications breaking down
While empires fall
Thousands crossing over
In a race with the sun
Crawling on each other like
The end of days have come
All that I can think of is how to get to you
Reassured that you're the one
Always gets me through
Generator
Generator
Holding on on our way down
So not to fall
Reaching for the breakers
Switches on a wall
Clutching onto matches
Candles that you brought
Remember when you told me
How much you love the dark?
All that I can say for sure
Is that we've come this far
Rest assured that you're the one
Who always holds my heart
