Ashes (Broken World)

(album: Chemical Warfare - 2021)

An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Too blind to see the truth
But, if you could you'd realize
This is a long time coming
Lying awake, deep in the night
Counting the ways to make it right
Don't you know you've done me wrong for such a long time?
Don't build an empire, 'cause I'll just burn it down

If this broken world belongs to anyone
I'll be the king when it's all said and done
If this broken world belongs to anyone
I'll be the king when it's all said and done
And make a throne from the ashes (Oh, oh)
And make a throne from the ashes (Oh, oh)

I tried and tried I fell apart
I was broken from the start
I wish we realized this was a long time coming
I'll begin to make to right
Never too late to start again
I've given into you for the last time
Don't build an empire, 'cause I'll just burn it down

If this broken world belongs to anyone
I'll be the king when it's all said and done
If this broken world belongs to anyone
I'll be the king when it's all said and done
And make a throne from the ashes

This mother fucker held me down under water
Tried to suffocate me to an early fate
Put me through the ringer and you pulled the fucking trigger
Now, I see your body shiver as I'm rising from the grave

If this broken world belongs to anyone
I'll be the king when it's all said and done
If this broken world belongs to anyone
I'll be the king when it's all said and done (Said and done)
And make a throne from the ashes
And make a throne from the ashes
And make a throne from the ashes
