Asche

We bathe in ashes
From fires that once were
What would have become of us
We will probably never know

Life lay open to us
But we didn't let it be
And instead closed ourselves
In our suffering

We built monuments
From dreams that once were
And let all hope
Of darkness go

We lost what united us
Built walls of granite
And blew up our love
Like dynamite

All fires are extinguished
All streets cold and empty
This is my kingdom of ashes
At my sea of tears

My crown of ruins
Becomes heavier every day
In my kingdom of ashes
At my sea of tears
