[Verse] Ring around the rosey they chant in decay Their shadows dance as the light fades away Whispers crawl where the black winds sway [Chorus] Ashes ashes the flames rise high Burn and char beneath the sky Ashes ashes they never cry The corpses smolder the children sigh [Verse 2] Pale hands grasp at the edges of night They hum in circles a twisted delight The stars blink out swallowed by fright [Prechorus] Listen close the silence hums Closer still the darkness drums [Chorus] Ashes ashes the flames rise high Burn and char beneath the sky Ashes ashes they never cry The corpses smolder the children sigh [Bridge] Through the cracks in the floor they peer Eyes like voids they pull you near No escape no place to run The rhyme repeats till the deed is done
