Taste of Ashes Lyrics by Straight Line Stitch

When Skies Wash Ashore

2008

Let them pull the wool over your eyes
(No hope for the fallen)
Misconceptions of a false paradise
(These words are unspoken)
The blind leading the blind, but I decline
(We walk the straight line)
The one who holds the truth be divided
(Death is forever)
The writing's on the wall, now the mighty fall
The writing's on the wall, now the mighty fall
The writing's on the wall, now the mighty fall
Divided we cannot stand, bury your head into the sand
Killing the fat of the land, an albatross across your neck
Thorn in your side
Thorn in your side
Don't be afraid of the dark, you're still held up by the stars
The light will carry us over
The dice have been cast and your position must be steadfast
(We are the chosen)
Let no man pull us under, never deter
(There is no contrast)
You can't always crucify what you don't understand
(Beware of the vampire)
And this time you'll see who has the upper hand
(The world is a wasteland)
Don't be afraid of the dark, you're still held up by the stars
The light will carry us over
When all this time has gone by, you'll stop and ask yourself why
The light will carry you over
Open up your eyes!
(Read between the lines!)
However long the night, the dawn will break
However long my eyes are closed, I'm wide awake
Stand, stand, stand up and fight!
It won't be long before this candle burns again
Don't be afraid of the dark, you're still held up by the stars (Woo!)
The light will carry us over
When all this time has gone by, you'll stop and ask yourself why
The light will carry you over
However long the night, the dawn will break
How ever long my eyes are closed, I'm wide awake
Stand, stand, stand up and fight!
Stand, stand, stand up and fight!
Stand, stand, stand up and fight!
Stand, stand, stand up and fight!
