Song language: English
Ashes |
| I’ve got a mind to shed my skin |
| To let out what’s within |
| To free the light inside |
| My bones will be the kindling |
| For the fire 'round which we’ll sing |
| And the song on which we’ll ride |
| Ashes, ashes |
| I am destined to be ashes |
| So I will melt with who is by my side |
| I’ve built around my heart a church |
| And the pew in which in which I perch |
| And the seat in which I pray |
| For my god is Rock and Roll the first |
| And though it may be cursed |
| It’s the only game worth playing |
| Ashes, ashes |
| I am destined to be ashes |
| So melt with me and keep my soul from straying |
| Some may find beauty hard to see |
| But it’s easy enough for me |
| Just a beat and these three chords |
| And though I may be a stumbling fool |
| I am sharpening my tool |
| This guitar will be my sword |
| Ashes, ashes |
| I am destined to be ashes |
| So melt with me and we will find the Lord |
| My heart is such a wayward ship |
| Briefly docking 'fore each trip |
| Just a kiss before I cruise |
| And though waves are often beckoning |
| There’s a sudden reckoning |
| As your eyes have tripped my fuse |
| Ashes, ashes |
| I am destined to be ashes |
| So melt with me, there’s nothing left to lose |
