Ashes Lyrics by Birch Riley

Fragments of Space-Time

2020

So it's been a long time
Son, it's about time
I know I've been gone again
I know I've been gone again
My mother told me so
What I learned, you to know
You better do what you're told
You better do, twice fold

Aye aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye aye

On stream through the years
Adolescence not too clear
Compromise, nurse the fear
Sympathy on dying ears
In a life you adore
Ain't a life, just a bore
Stokе the fire in the corе
Smoke and flames, locked doors

Aye aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye aye

Rise above the ashes. Living, dying happens
Hallelujah, ration. Questions never answered

So it's been a long time
Son, it's about time
I know I've been gone away
Please promise. I'll stay
Rise above through the smoke
Dig a hole through the mold
Hold your breath before you choke
Life's a glimpse and then you're old

Aye aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye aye

Rise above the ashes. Living, dying happens
Hallelujah, ration. Questions never answered

Our lives, we beg and borrow
Our lives, we drown our sorrows
Our lives, we stray and follow
Our lives, we live tomorrow

My mother told me so
What I learned, you to know
You better do what you're told
You better do what you're told

Rise above the ashes
Rise above the ashes
Rise above the ashes
Rise above the ashes
