Burned Nails

Burned Nails In a world of fire and smoke In the burning winds of time Where everything you loved broke And all values seem in decline Collecting burned nails From the ashes and dust Seeking the long lost trails Forever gone with your trust Collecting burned nails Collecting burned nails You watch in disbelief But the burning air is dense With the smoke of memories Blurring your vision Your cries are desperate Eyes wet with disillusion But the tears evaporate As everything is gone Collecting burned nails In a world charred and dead Telling horrible tales Of the things that went ahead Collecting burned nails Remains of fragile dreams Constructions of no avail Nothing is what it seems Collecting burned nails From the ashes and dust Seeking the long lost trails Forever gone with your trust Collecting burned nails Collecting burned nails

about

The second collaboration single by the Danish acts ee:man and In Absentia is a dark journey into a charred world where burned nails are the only remains of what has been. The song can be interpreted as a post war situation or a mental state, when everything in your life seems to have crashed.
The song is out in two versions, one (Scorched Earth Mix by In Absentia) being available on Bandcamp only.

Lyrics:

Burned Nails

In a world of fire and smoke
In the burning winds of time
Where everything you loved broke
And all values seem in decline

Collecting burned nails
From the ashes and dust
Seeking the long lost trails
Forever gone with your trust

Collecting burned nails
Collecting burned nails

You watch in disbelief
But the burning air is dense
With the smoke of memories
Blurring your vision
Your cries are desperate
Eyes wet with disillusion
But the tears evaporate
As everything is gone

Collecting burned nails
In a world charred and dead
Telling horrible tales
Of the things that went ahead

Collecting burned nails
Remains of fragile dreams
Constructions of no avail
Nothing is what it seems

Collecting burned nails
From the ashes and dust
Seeking the long lost trails
Forever gone with your trust

Collecting burned nails
Collecting burned nails
