[Intro] [Vocal: Instrumental] [Sound of thunder rolls] [Soft rain begins to fall] [Verse 1] The moon carved her secrets on our bedroom wall, Her perfume was fading, but the lie said it all. I traced every silence like a trail through the pines, Till I found her betrayal in the break of the lines. [Chorus] Now there’s ashes in the rain, fire without a flame, Love turned to smoke when she whispered his name. My kingdom has fallen, my crown made of pain, All I hold is the bottle… and ashes in the rain. [Verse 2] Our house is a chapel where the vows turned to dust, The pews sit in silence, splintered beams of mistrust. Spent every dollar tryin’ to keep her awhile, But her shadow moved on before her smile. [Chorus]\\nNow there’s ashes in the rain, fire without a flame, Love turned to smoke when she whispered his name. My kingdom has fallen, my crown made of pain, All I hold is the bottle… and ashes in the rain. [Bridge] The pistol on the table hums a hymn of release, Whiskey in the glass sings a darker kind of peace. If heaven won’t have me, and hell knows my face, I’ll ride with the thunder to a lonelier place. [Final Chorus] There’ll be ashes in the rain where my memory was sown, A ghost in the doorway of a house not my own. When the thunder comes callin’, it won’t call my name, I’ll be gone with the bottle… just ashes in the rain.
