Ash Like Snow - Matt Duke

When I awoke I hung my head

We are but ghosts

The living dead

As I awaited the sun

The streets gave way to a drunk

Adorned in red

And in the silence of the dawn

I heard him sing a rueful song

Soft and slow

It wrapped around my bones

So I sang along

Desperate hope

Reminds me that I'm alone

But even so

Inside I know

I will see you again

We rose this place up from the mud

Sustained by poor man's blood

We scratch and we crawl

Away from its jaws

But it will swallow all of us

Under boot it's hard to breathe

They leash us and bind our feet

So say not a word

Or they'll lock you away just like the girl

That they took from me

Desperate hope

Reminds me that I'm alone

But even so

Inside I know

I will see you again

So say not a word

Or they'll lock you away just like the girl

That they took from me

Desperate hope

Reminds me that I'm alone

But even so

Inside I know

I will see you again

I fell asleep with moon's return

And in my dreams these buildings burn

Through the glow

The ash will fall like snow

Upon this earth

Desperate hope

Reminds me that I'm alone

But even so

Inside I know

I will see you again

I will see you again
