It All Goes to Ash

October 31, 2010

When you’re alone
In the dark of the broken night
You wish on a star
Put your faith in the flickering light

And you can’t explain
No you can’t say why
But they were your wings
And you forgot how to fly

And you heard their voice
You heard the sound
Ashes ashes and we all fall down
Fire on the mountain and fire on the sea
Run like the devil but you can’t catch me
Can’t catch me
No they never catch me

Do you remember
Endless summer time
Do you remember
When life was a rhythm and a rhyme

And when life was horrible
And hard to bear
They were always there
Always there

And you heard their voice
You heard the sound
Ashes ashes and we all fall down
Fire on the mountain and fire on the sea
Run like the devil but you can’t catch me
Can’t catch me
No they never catch me

Well they come with the moon
When the dark is closing in
You turn out the light
And the nightmare begins
Oh whoa oh oh

And you heard their voice
You heard the sound
Ashes ashes and we all fall down
Fire on the mountain and fire on the sea
Run like the devil but you can’t catch me
Can’t catch me
No they never catch me
