Ash Like Snow
When I awoke I hung my headWe are but ghosts, the living deadAs I awaited the sunThe streets gave way to a drunkAdorned in redAnd in the silence of the dawnI heart him sing a rueful songSoft and slowIt wrapped around my bonesSo I sang alongDesperate hopeReminds me that I'm aloneBut even soInside I knowI will see you againWe rose this place up from the mudSustained by poor man's bloodWe scratch and we crawlAway from its jawsBut it will swallow all of usUnder boot, it's hard to breatheThey leash us and bind our feetLetras de cancionesSo say not a wordOr they'll lock you away just like the girlThat they took from meI fell asleep with moon's returnAnd in my dreams, these buildings burnThrough the glowThe ash will fall like snowUpon this earth
