Ashes
Lyrics by Nate Murphy, Music by ZuZu Pedal
-------------------------------------------
Verse 1

And as the ashes rose into the sky
his countenance fell with his pride
cheated of dreams and robbed with lies
the truth was something left untried

Delusional vanity never ends
a hatred of our brother and God transcends
all heaven bears the shame
to condone this murder by another name

Verse 2

And as his love flamed out in the fire
his live made him out to be a liar
he trusted no one and it showed
they returned the favor

Now every day and nights the same
guilt bred thoughts are hid in my brain
all heaven bears the shame
to condone this murder by another name

Pre-chorus

Out with the sun, out with the pain
out with apologies that redirect the blame

Chorus

Don't identify with me
no brotherhood we're not the same
no act too cruel, no deed insane
when we invoke the name we take in vain

Outro

Today the world lost a soldier
God please take him in
today was born a true bliever
how can I begin to forgive this
