Ashes in the Sky

Verse 1

Sirens

Shadows on the wall

Children in the silence

Waiting for the fall

Smoke across the skyline

Everything turns gray

Broken

Ruins of yesterday

Pre-Chorus

We build the fire we can’t contain

And drown the truth in endless blame

Chorus

Ashes in the sky

Falling like the rain

Lives we’ll never hear again

Tell me who decides when the world should burn

When will we finally learn

Ashes in the sky

Drifting through the pain

Every fallen dream whispers out your name

If we’re all the same

Why do we still run

From what we’ve done

Verse 2

Flags

Meaning feels lost

Lines on a map

A terrible cost

Brothers on the frontline

Strangers in disguise

Staring

Through the barrel with the same frightened eyes

Pre-Chorus

We trade our hope for power and pride

And bury the truth we try to hide

Chorus

Ashes in the sky

Falling like the rain

Lives we’ll never hear again

Tell me who decides when the world should burn

When will we finally learn

Ashes in the sky

Drifting through the pain

Every fallen dream whispers out your name

If we’re all the same

Why do we still run

From what we’ve done

Post-Chorus

Learn

When will we learn

Learn

Bridge

We were never enemies

Just stories never told

Different words for freedom

Different hands to hold

The fire keeps rising

The sky turns to stone

The ones who survive

Still feel alone

Still feel alone

Still feel alone

Chorus

Ashes in the sky

Falling like the rain

Lives we’ll never hear again

Tell me who decides when the world should burn

When will we finally learn

Ashes in the sky

Drifting through the pain

Every fallen dream whispers out your name

If we’re all the same

Why do we still run

From what we’ve done

Outro

If the world is one

Under stars above

Why can’t we choose love

Choose love

Choose love

Ashes in the sky
