Standing in the Ashes Lyrics

As I reach below Inside this pile of broken promises

We struggle through discontent and resentment

I'm slowly drawn into this sinking sand with no way to recover

Nobody wants to compromise

As the ice breaks, we drown towards our demise

Standing in the ashes

Buried beneath the remains of our intentions

Everybody's flawed and so am I (so am I)

Tell me your deepest fears

I'll try to comfort you before we die

Can we find the glue to hold us together?

Now the stakes are high enough

The stakes are high enough

Can we overcome our differences

Before we succumb to our own failures

Can we extract

This toxic salt

From our infested

Fucking wounds?

Will we prevent

Control or oppression?

You are not alone in this world

(You're not alone)

We're just weeds in this world that we ruin

By wanting to impose our will on others

We're all to blame for ancestors' mistakes

We're all too ashamed to look objectively

Standing in the ashes

Buried beneath the remains of our intentions

Everybody's flawed and so am I (so am I)

Tell me your deepest fears

I'll try to comfort you before we die

Standing in the ashes

Standing in the ashes

Rebuild, rebuild

On this ground where our blood was spilt
