Ashes

A struggling stream
Drained again by the carelessness of another
Ceases to fight against the world
The mind races
But the body dies
The heart cannot bear any more pain

Lord, let the shredded world go up in flames
Let it burn with the passion of love lost
Squeeze out the pain and flood the world
Spare us all from the dry life we live
Lord, burn it all down

Walk through the forest
And hear the hearts shatter beneath your feet
Listen to the desperate whispers in the air
Reaching for the heavens

Set it all ablaze like the confusion inside
Thousands of hearts bleeding for a pulse to call their own
The world should share the suffering
No one should feel this way alone

Torch the homes
The wilderness
Take the last breath of every soul
All the beauty we can never touch
Lord, burn it all down
