Ashes Lie Still

(album: Ashes Lie Still - 2022)

My head feels empty and I'm staring at an empty mirror
My anger surging, my pulse rising, there is nothing clearer
Life stripped away, hope stolen and we've all been cheated
The things I've learnt, they simply can not be repeated

The thing you praise is fucking deceptive
His nerve is worthless and wretched
Clutching at glass
But losing my grip
The image of you begins to slip

Life fading
From this sphere
Suffering
Soul imprint
Will not disappear
As the ashes lie still

Heart pulled out
From my chest
Struggling
I can't heal
Your God, I detest

The sun won't rise and the shadows will fade (Shadows will fade)
The cracks stay young and your face doesn't crumble (Face doesn't crumble)
The ashes lie still
You endure alone
You wither in the soil and stone
The door can never be opened
The key left shredded and broken

A legacy that's guaranteed to flourish through time
Years left behind, we can't rewind, cut down inside of his prime
We're left looking through life with shattered eyes
I realize the body dies, a man I idolized

The thing you praise is fucking deceptive
His nerve is worthless and wretched
Clutching at glass
But losing my grip
The image of you begins to slip

This disease is building up, you'll accept your own defeat
Unable to stand
Earth falls beneath your feet

Life fading
From this sphere
Suffering
Soul imprint
Will not disappear
As the ashes lie still

Heart pulled out
From my chest
Struggling
I can't heal
Your God, I detest

Agony
Breathless
Death will hold you now
My head bows down, I'm plagued with sorrow
I see no tomorrow
Memory (Memory, endless)
Endless
Life goes on, somehow
This loss won't break my will
No time to mourn as the ashes lie still
