Song 1 – “Ashes in the Rain” Verse 1 The streets are empty, the lamps are pale Echoes of voices that will never sail Shadows are crawling, under my skin I feel the silence dragging me in Pre-Chorus Rust on the iron, cracks in the stone Every cathedral has broken bones Chorus Ashes in the rain, falling down again Nothing ever stays, it all decays Ashes in the rain, whispers in the chain We’re just dust that fades away Verse 2 The clocks are bleeding, time bends slow Bodies of flowers refuse to grow Cold winds gather, black birds cry Every beginning prepares to die Chorus (repeat) Bridge Beneath the ruins, I hear a song It tells me endings are never wrong Flesh and memory both will drown All that’s living will turn to ground Final Chorus (extended) Ashes in the rain, falling down again Nothing ever stays, it all decays Ashes in the rain, whispers in the chain We’re just dust that fades away
