Ash Again

Face to face with time again

We walk once more to the end

Burn it down

Burn it down

Waves can’t put out my flame

Death will never write my name

Burn it down

Burn it down

They say the memory of me is fading

I’ve heard it all before

Don’t tell me everyone around is waiting

And they all say

Tear it down

Burn it down

And they’ll all pay

When I tear it down

Burn it down

When the world falls through

And all is ash again

While you all pretend

If this is the end

I’ll do it again

Voices rise in my head

The hands that pull at my thread

Let them drown

Burn it down

Wait for wash in the tide

In the abyss is where I will hide

Let them drown

Burn it down

They say the memory of me is fading

I’ve heard it all before

Don’t tell me everyone around is waiting

And they all say

Tear it down

Burn it down

And they’ll all pay

When I tear it down

Burn it down

When the world falls through

And all is ash again

While you all pretend

If this is the end

I’ll do it again

We swim against the current’s aim

In dark we change as smoke returns to rain

Navigating sunken depths and all of its debris

And no more hands upon my words

They only speak for me

For all the ones who try to silence thunder

I’m the wave that pulls you down and under

Every day I’ll stand with me

And I’ll fight the drought of shallow sea

As ships sail winds of jealousy

I’ll listen carefully

As they all say

Tear it down

Burn it down

And they’ll all pay

When I tear it down

Burn it down

When the world falls through

And all is ash again

While you all pretend

If this is the end

I’ll do it again
