Ash to Ash by Dr.Proton

[Prologue: The Old Wizard] Shadows waver on broken stone

Ancient boots drag through bone

Long road winding ever down

Hood drawn tight against the void

Eyes that saw the world destroyed

Crystals humming underneath his crown

[Build] He speaks with voice of centuries

Promises carved in memory

Each step echoes through the black

Entrance yawns, a mouth of flame

Whispers sing the lair’s old name

Nothing will let him turn back

Stone walls hold a hundred years

Of prayers that nobody hears

A candle burns down to the wax

Slow procession down the nave

Twelve men walking grave by grave

Silent vows and silent pacts

[Pre-Chorus] We buried every doubt beside the door

We buried every doubt

[Verse 3] Sand pours upward through the glass

Prophecies we thought had passed

Spellbound circuits start to gleam

Runes ignite along the wire

Something older than the fire

Wakes and folds into the scheme

[Build] Count the hours, count the cost

Every map the mages lost

Every door they sealed in haste

Open wide and open wide

Let the turning tide decide

Nothing here is left to waste

[Drop] Loose the binding, let it run

Loose the binding, let it run

Turn the circle, one by one

Turn the circle, one by one

Open, open, open the

[Verse 13: The Wizard, Broken Open] Forty years I read the page

Forty winters kept the cage

Now the ink is on my skin

Every letter I memorized

Is a little demon in disguise

And the door is opening from within

[Verse 14: Mephisto] Do you feel it in your ribs

Where the second heartbeat lives

That is me, that is mine, that is ours

I was patient, I was small

Now I'm standing in the hall

Counting down the hours

[Pre-Chorus] You carved the circle, I carved you

You carved the circle, I carved you

[Build] Slower, slower, watch it spread

Every thought inside your head

Wearing somebody else's face

Deeper, deeper, take the pen

Write your name and write it again

Every wall becomes a place

[Drop] Say it back, say it back

Say it back, say it back

Who is holding who now

Who is holding who now

Turn it, turn it, turn it around

Turn it, turn it, turn it around

[Saxophone and Violin Interlude] [Synthesizer Break] [Verse 15: The Three] Baal took the mountain

Diablo took the throne

I took the hallway

Where the wizard walks alone

We do not knock

We do not wait

We are the hinge

And we are the gate

[Verse 16: The Wizard] I was keeper, I was lock

I was shepherd, I was flock

Now I'm neither, now I'm both

Something warm is in my chest

Something old that will not rest

And it's wearing my own coat

[Chorus] We remain, we remain

Every door remembers pain

We remain, we remain

Every name will call again

(will call again)

(will call again)

[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Name me, name me, name me

Oh, oh, oh
