Lyrics

ASHES

It is inevitable that we go to the ends of the earth
Ring around the rosie
Pocket full of posie
Ashes, ashes, we all fall

When the fire goes out
What’s left of us
Whats left but the memories
Who we are and who we’ll be
Ashes, ashes

Play the game and we fall down
Dust to dust we all see how
Time is creeping up fast now
Stay awake to try to figure it out
Hurry home before the sun sets
You know how it gets when its dark
The demons come lurking
The sky grows heavy
Till your ashes they fall out in the dirt

(they do say that we should pray to the lord for strength
‘cause at the end of the day that’s all that really matters right)

When the fire goes out
What’s left of us
Whats left but the memories
Who we are and who we’ll be
Ashes, ashes
Each breath we take for granted
Broken promises, soft kisses
Old fears earth beckons
Its all ashes, ashes

Mommy daddy don’t cry now
The children are safe they can fly now
Baby born into this lion’s den
Living just to go back in

We still have time to learn just what it all means, oh


When the fire goes out
What’s left of us
Whats left but the memories
Who we are and who we’ll be
Ashes, ashes
Each breath we take for granted
Broken promises, soft kisses
Old fears earth beckons
Its all ashes, ashes

Oooh, just let it go
Let it all come out
Don’t talk about it
Be about it
Oooh, just let it go
Let it all come out
Don’t talk about it
Be about it

When the fire goes out
What’s left of us
Whats left but the memories
Who we are and who we’ll be
Ashes, ashes

When the fire goes out
What’s left of us
Whats left but the memories
Who we are and who we’ll be
Ashes, ashes
Each breath we take for granted
Broken promises, soft kisses
Old fears earth beckons
Its all ashes, ashes
