City Of Ashes Lyrics by Jhariah

The Great Tale Of How I Ruined It All

2018

[Intro]
Kerosene lit lanterns burn through faded pages
Not a single star graces our sky tonight
The crickets have grown bored of filling our silent spaces
We’re losing time and got to make this right
[Verse 1]
I sing this song to incinerate your skin
Just sing along and... (dance)
Build for us from their ashes
A brand new city
Set fire to your matches
Dowse them in gasoline
[Pre-Chorus]
Rebuilding skyscrapers from broken glass and broken souls
Ain't got no blueprint just a purpose and a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
[Verse 2]
Let the sun just incinerate your skin
To start all over
Rebuild what they destroyed (Destroyed!)
Make weapons of your voice (Your voice!)
Whatever they employ, I’ll exploit, make null and void
[Pre-Chorus]
Rebuilding skyscrapers from broken glass and broken souls
Ain't got no blueprint just a purpose and a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
Oh, brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
[Bridge]
I set all of these fires
But now I’m the one who’s all burnt out
Why is it so hard to fight for what's right
I’m breaking down
And what if I stepped out of this ring
I abandoned everything
I can’t carry this team
Marching along in single file
(This team, this team!)
Surrendering their lives
(This team)
[Chorus 2]
Pitch black clouds shadow the burning sun
But I won’t let these vultures think that they have won
I’ll be the last one standing when the end’s begun
I’ll hide away so I don’t have to run
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
Oh, brick by brick, we’ll take back what they took
Stand in the ashes of what once belonged to you
And I’m so sick of this
Just take a good hard look
At how they blurred your vision
And they shaped your view
