- Ashes LyricsHere we stand and face the world
Renegades of consternation
Innocent in thought and word
Ready for a new sensation
Block up the dam
close up the well
to stop it flowing
Your memory is not preferred
For that is not the way we're going
Sliding away from liberty
to lethargy we fall
Subsiding again
collapsing from the burden of it all
But time after time
We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a
March of progress
From ashes we rise
to ashes we fall
We cannot disguise
Our hand in it all
Here we stand and take the blame
We thought that this could last forever
We turned our backs on God again
But everybody longs for heaven
Sliding away from vision
to deficiency we fall
Subsiding again
collapsing from the burden of it all
But time after time
We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a
March of progress
Here we stand and face the end
Apathy alive and growing
On independence we depend
But that is not the way we're going
Sliding away from plenty
to dependency we fall
Subsiding again
collapsing from the burden of it all
But time after time
We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a
March of progress
but we think we're on a
March of progress
Renegades of consternation
Innocent in thought and word
Ready for a new sensation
Block up the dam
close up the well
to stop it flowing
Your memory is not preferred
For that is not the way we're going
Sliding away from liberty
to lethargy we fall
Subsiding again
collapsing from the burden of it all
But time after time
We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a
March of progress
From ashes we rise
to ashes we fall
We cannot disguise
Our hand in it all
Here we stand and take the blame
We thought that this could last forever
We turned our backs on God again
But everybody longs for heaven
Sliding away from vision
to deficiency we fall
collapsing from the burden of it all
But time after time
We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a

Here we stand and face the end
Apathy alive and growing
On independence we depend
But that is not the way we're going
Sliding away from plenty

Subsiding again

We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a
March of progress
but we think we're on a
March of progress
