Ashes on the Water

📀 Ashes on the Water V1.2.9✨ 🎙️(Amari’s Voice)🎶 [Intro: Instrumental - Sparse Felt‑Piano Leading, Fragile and Dark; Brushed Top‑Hat Patterns Ticking like a Clock, Subtle, Low Strings Swell in and out for Tension, Staying Restrained and Cinematic, Verses stay Whisper-Close and Conversational - Bars of gentle melody before the voice enters] Ohh…. Ahh…. Ohh…. Ahh… [Verse 1] — Glass on the pavement Smoke in the sky Sirens like psalms That forgot how to cry Crosses in corners Hidden from view Candles burned down Till the wax looks like wounds [Chorus] — It’s breaking my heart… This broken water… Blood in the river… Ash on the altar… How did we learn… How did we get here… To love the slaughter? Oh Father, God… I know You’re watching… Your sons and daughters… Will You find faith? When the Son of Man returns… It’s easy to believe… Real faith, not at all… This takes work We must lean blindly, on Your Word… It’s breaking my heart… My grief is great… It seems to grow darker… More each day… Evil is grimmer, greater today… Ashes on the water… But I’ll sing louder… Over ashes on the water… [Verse 2] — Screens full of monsters Who look just like you and me Smiling as gardens Fall into the sea Names turned to numbers Prayers turned to dust They punish the gentle And tear at the just [Chorus] — It’s breaking my heart… This broken water… Blood in the river… Ash on the altar… How did we learn… How did we get here… To love the slaughter? Oh Father, God… I know You’re watching… Your sons and daughters… Will You find faith? When the Son of Man returns… It’s easy to believe… Real faith, not at all… This takes work We must lean blindly, on Your Word… It’s breaking my heart… My grief is great… It seems to grow darker… More each day… Evil is grimmer, greater today… Ashes on the water… But I’ll sing louder… Over ashes on the water… [Instrumental Ensemble] [Bridge] — I carry their faces… Like thorns in my hands… Ohh… I whisper their stories… So somebody stands… If silence is safety… Then carve out my tongue… I’d rather die speaking… For even one… [Chorus] — It’s breaking my heart… This broken water… Blood in the river… Ash on the altar… How did we learn… How did we get here… To love the slaughter? Oh Father, God… I know You’re watching… Your sons and daughters… Will You find faith? When the Son of Man returns… It’s easy to believe… Real faith, not at all… This takes work We must lean blindly, on Your Word… It’s breaking my heart… My grief is great… It seems to grow darker… More each day… Evil is grimmer, greater today… Ashes on the water… But I’ll sing louder… Over ashes on the water… Ohh…. Ahh…. Ohh…. Ahh… [Outro: Instrumental Ensemble - Final single Piano note, sustained, silence]
