Petals of Ash Lyrics by Esben And The Witch

Hold Sacred

0

[Verse 1]
In a flash the whole world lit up
A blast so loud that it shook us
To the crust, to our core, through the mantle
Lighting the fire in the centre
The centre of you
The centre of you
The centre of you
[Verse 2]
We made our tracks from the old town
Headed to the top of the mountains
Above the dust clouds ballooning
A sulphurous light was blooming
Take in the view
Take in the view
Take in the view
[Verse 3]
The schools were lost and burning
Even the grandest churches
Their spires that once were piercing
Are all broken and splitting
Splitting apart
Splitting apart
Splitting apart
[Verse 4]
All the things that we helped build
Razed to the ground in a moment
Where we laughed, where we slept, where we made love
Now petals of ash before us
What was before us?
What was before us?
What was before us?
[Verse 5]
So let’s bathe in the light of a full moon
Meet me there in the doldrums
We’ll watch the blue sky turn black
As the stars all crumble around us
So take in the view
Take in the view
Take me with you
