Lyrics In Ashes We Lie - Grade

In Ashes We Lie

Are we here to understand or to survive?
We are building mountains
The blueprints are being drawn
Yet breathless words pour from these eyes
Mounds lay like bodies in the morgue side by side
In ashes we lie, in ashes we lie
We’re so unkind
We’re so disguised
In ashes we lie, in ashes we lie
Are we here to understand or to survive?
Smoke screens and bandages cannot hide the icons
In architecture that stand as archives of colossal structure
Assembled to destruction, layer in degrees of gray scale coating
In ashes we, in ashes we lie
So travel broken rivers across manufactured landscapes
And along the rebuilt curve of the planet
Yet breathless words pour from these eyes, now
