[Verse 1] Woke up in a pod, hull burning in the black, My ship’s just dust, can’t ever get it back. Static chain behind me, collapsing in the void, Feels like New Eden’s got me unemployed. But I breathe in slow, let the silence set, Every dirtbag knows you start from debt. Ashes on the wreck, nothing left to save, But I’ll rise tomorrow from the fire in the grave. [Chorus] Ashes on the wreck, that’s where I stand, Empty pockets, blistered hands. The hole don’t care, she turns and she spins, But I’ll crawl through smoke ‘til I fly again. [Verse 2] Loot cans empty, my scanner’s gone cold, The stories of riches, they’ve already been told. Dispatch calling, but I mute the sound, Can’t face the law when I’m flat on the ground. So I hum this tune, drift the night alone, No clone bay comfort, just a pod and a stone. If hope’s just a rumor, then I’ll chase it still, ‘Cause a dirtbag don’t quit, not while he’s got will. [Chorus] Ashes on the wreck, that’s where I stand, Empty pockets, blistered hands. The hole don’t care, she turns and she spins, But I’ll crawl through smoke ‘til I fly again. [Bridge] Some folks fold when the void bites hard, But I’m built on loss, I wear these scars. Every wreck I leave, every ship I lose, Just another verse in the blues I choose. [Final Chorus] Ashes on the wreck, sing my song, Flew it all wrong, but I’m still strong. The wormhole laughs, then she fades away, But I’ll be back flying come another day. [Outro] Ashes on the wreck… Ashes on the wreck… That’s where I start, Not where I end.
