Ash and Sand

Verse 1

Dry

Dust in the throat

Sand swallows the rusted iron gates

We walk

We wait

Heavy boots on hollow ground

No one is left to pray

Empty

Cold and empty

Chorus

Where is the garden we used to know

Under the ash and the heavy snow

Give me some water

Give me some light

I am still breathing

I am still breathing

We are the ghosts of a broken day

Watching the colors all fade to gray

Give me some water

Give me some light

Post-Chorus

La la la la

Ya layl

Ya layl

La la la la

Verse 2

Brother

Lost in the canyon of stone

Fire died out when the wind started to moan

Gone

Everyone is gone

Fever burns through the tattered wool

Thirst is a monster

Thirst is a cage

Black sky

No stars in the black sky

Searching for bread in the rubble of glass

Time is a circle that will not pass

Chorus

Where is the garden we used to know

Under the ash and the heavy snow

Give me some water

Give me some light

I am still breathing

I am still breathing

We are the ghosts of a broken day

Watching the colors all fade to gray

Give me some water

Give me some light

Bridge

I remember the rain

I remember the river

I remember the rain

My mother sang a song

Before the walls came down

Before the sun went dark

Now I sing it to the wind

Chorus

Where is the garden we used to know

Under the ash and the heavy snow

Give me some water

Give me some light

I am still breathing

I am still breathing

We are the ghosts of a broken day

Watching the colors all fade to gray

Give me some water

Give me some light

Outro

Dust

Just dust

Layl

Layl

We wait

In the silence

We wait

Dry
