The Ashes
In the ashes I lie
Truth told
Hopes Destroyed
In the ashes I lie
Bridges charred
Will they survive?
In the ashes I lie
The ones I trust
Wield the word
As a sword
In the ashes I lie
Dead to the world
Covered in ash
In the ashes I lie
While friends rejoice
I lie dying in the ash
In the ashes I lie
He picks me up
He stops the blood
In the ashes I stand
With him at my side
Holding me up
In the ashes we walk
As brothers and friends
