    Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall

    I am ever enthralled

    Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well

    ''Til fashion is dispelled



    As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion

    You''re going out, going out forever unknown

    These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion

    (These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)

    You''re going out, going out forever unknown

    (Because you''re dying to become forever unknown, unkown)



    From above a rain of ashes descends

    Anathema I will remain, forever will remain

    From below, in my seclusion

    Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn



    Without habitation, you''ll never find a soul inside

    No life, but nothing''s died

    No lights, but quite the show (Just as long as no one ever knows

    All motion is pantomime)



    As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion

    You''re going out, going out forever unknown

    These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion

    (These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)

    You''re going out, going out forever unknown

    (Because you''re dying to become forever unknown, unkown)



    From above a rain of ashes descends

    Anathema I will remain, forever will remain

    From below, in my seclusion

    Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn



    Dancing in the rain of descending ash

    Dancing on your grave, I''ll see you all falling

    Dancing in the rain of descending ash

    Dancing in your dust, I''ll see you all falling

    I''d stop it, had you a heart (your heart)

    I''d stop it, had you a heart (your heart)



    From above a rain of ashes descends

    Anathema I will remain, forever will remain

    From below, in my seclusion

    Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
