Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Apr. 21, 2015]

Ash, ash, what were you once
Can greying dust tell likely stories
Shall your future turn to stone
Or will your beauty be alone

Laden with the curse of taste
I cannot help but laugh and laugh
Bigger men with taller stories
Why have heroes when you want their glories?

Someone spoke, I couldn't move
I'm frightened just because of you
Someone spoke, I couldn't move
Frightened just because of you

Oh no, I know that face
You make my feet like lumps of lead
The nearer you come the slower I get
You act like the ocean but you only get wet

Peace, peace don't open your mouth
You'll only begin what you already started
The only stand is the one you don't make
And no one opposes the things you can't take

Someone spoke, I couldn't move
I'm frightened just because of you
Someone spoke, I couldn't move
Frightened just because of you
