Above and beyond presents oceanlab - Ashes lyrics

rate me

Across the Eerie waters,

Misty covered glass I spied

A sad procession, snaking down

The dry and deathly trail.

And as my telescopic eye

Focused on the marching line,

It settled on the fallen crown,

Now covered with a veil.

The heavy weight of mourning

Drew each head to face the ground.

Muscles tight on bearers' arms

Each body cold and frail.

And through the muslin mist

The beating drums, the only sound..

Twenty boats out in the bay

All ready to set sail.

Ashes.. take me back to earth..

Water.. quench my human thirst..

Ashes.. take me back to earth..

Water.. quench my human thirst..

My bones soaked in the icy cold

And fixed me where I lay,

Until each vessel left the shore

And made a line for me.

There never was a breeze,

The leaves were silent all that day.

They say the sails were ghosts

That stole the wind to set them free.

I layed transfixed,

Felt nothing, but the beating of my fear

As flames rose up and swallowed whole

Greatest of the fleet

The others circled round

And I heard chanting fill the air,

The ashes, lifted high

Were falling back into the sea.

Ashes.. take me back to earth..

Water.. quench my human th�rst..

Ashes.. take me back to earth..

Water.. quench my human<br />
