Alpenglow Lyrics

This song is definitely about humanity's time in the sun.

@YandereChan yes, and this part:

"And when the dust needs to move on I will tuck us in on a bed of snow Painting white, silencing the valley we built Together we'll sleep Devoured by life"

This part sounds to me like if/when humans destroy the earth with pollution and war, there will be a new ice age to take it all away.
