Ashes

(album: Calm Before The Storm - 1998)

I can't take it, I can't take it anymore
Nothing changes
Still the way it was before they say
A flame burns in my heart
Outside my window grows so dark
I don't believe this anymore
I don't know

Nothing ventured
Nothing ventured, nothing gained they say
No pretending
No pretending things can be the same
So they say

A flame is burning in my heart
The promises, they tore apart
I don't believe this anymore

There'll come a time
We're gonna rise from the fire
Wasted our lives away
And they're never coming back, oh no
Out from the ashes in the fire, no
Now it's gone too far

Nothing's sacred
Nothing sacred in their eyes, they say
No excuses
Just the truth behind the lies, oh yeah
A flame burning in my heart
Outside my window grows so dark
To hold me now, like dead before
I can't take this anymore

There'll come a time
We're gonna rise from the ashes
We threw our lives away
And they're never coming back, oh no
Out from the ashes in the fire
Now it's gone too far
Now it's gone too far

I can't take it
I can't take it anymore
Nothing changes
Still the way it was before they say
