To the Ashes

Brother, hold on just a little longer The burning hour is here Reaching out for what you love An intoxicating drug But it's never enough This is the debt we pay Must sacrifice this rage Rip, tear and burn this forgotten page Oh no, can we ever live this down? Come tomorrow, we'll live it anyway Will you hold us to This pain renewed Time brought us to the edge The flames anew Burn a dream we lose Our lies caught us in the end Do wе burn alive just to fail again? Do we desеrve a second chance? Do we burn alive just to fail again? Surrender to the ashes Martyr just die a little harder Your retribution is here Breathing down my neck Is this constant dread That I gave up on us Gave into weakness instead This pound of flesh I paid Fire cleansed by the rage I'll rip, tear, destroy this page Will you hold us to This pain renewed Time brought us to the edge The flames anew Burn a dream we lose Our lies caught us in the end Do we burn alive just to fail again? Do we deserve a second chance? Do we burn alive just to fail again? Surrender to the ashes We fought the fire, but it consumed Hopes shattered, we're buried in gloom Let the ashes be our tomb We rise, we fall, we will burn again Will you hold us to This pain renewed Time brought us to the edge Brought us to the edge The flames anew Burn the dreams we lose Our lies caught us in the end Do we burn alive just to fail again? Do we deserve a second chance? Do we burn alive just to fail again? Surrender to the ashes
