WE AIN’T ASHES
All the ships have sailed
From the kingdom carved out on lies
So sick of giving in Feel the sunrise
Share the same fall
May the downfall be eternal
May the landing be so sweet
Will we be colleagues in despair?
May the fragile be the strongest
May the hopeless be the judge
Of your life consumed by tragedy
Falling
Crumbling
We ain’t ashes
We chose fire
Beating
Burning
We ain’t ashes
We chose fire
May the unsung be remembered
May the wretched be the king
A grief’s empire
May the mountains be the flesh
May the branches be the bones
Our bones
Freedom to fall
As the heaviest teardrop gushes
Feel these smothered flames
How they long to be fired up Dreams of stars aloof
I want you to stand by me For the tears that we swallow
For the true black that we cry
After all, stains will stay
For the routine, for the logic
For the days left undone
Burn them down, let them burn
