Ashes Of War
Bullets fly through a burning sky
The ashes of war turning day to night
Fighting for something I cannot believe
Now I'm here alone on bended knee
In these trenches we are left to bleed
No presence left for those in need
Fighting for what I can't believe
Knowing there's no reprieve
I know that you could have it all
That's why I'm here so far from home
The world is cruel and there's no end
To the wars that are fought in freedom's name
Hell on Earth is where we reside
Killing our brothers just to survive
While mortal gods only fight for greed
The cost of life they cannot conceive
I know that you could have it all
That's why I'm here so far from home
The world is cruel and there's no end
To the wars that are fought in freedom's name
Bodies piling, children crying
What's the point even trying
Heroes dying, world dividing
Behind war is where they hide
Bodies piling, children crying
What's the point even trying
Heroes dying, world dividing
Behind war is where they're hiding
I know you could have it all
That's why I'm here so far from home
The world is cruel and there's no end
To the wars that are fought in freedom's name
I only wish to see it end
I want to be all yours again
And as I sit so far from home
I know that my old life is gone (My old life is)
Gone, gone, gone
My old life is
Gone, gone, gone
My old life is gone
The ashes of war turning day to night
Fighting for something I cannot believe
Now I'm here alone on bended knee
In these trenches we are left to bleed
No presence left for those in need
Fighting for what I can't believe
Knowing there's no reprieve
I know that you could have it all
That's why I'm here so far from home
The world is cruel and there's no end
To the wars that are fought in freedom's name
Hell on Earth is where we reside
Killing our brothers just to survive
While mortal gods only fight for greed
The cost of life they cannot conceive
I know that you could have it all
That's why I'm here so far from home
The world is cruel and there's no end
To the wars that are fought in freedom's name
Bodies piling, children crying
What's the point even trying
Heroes dying, world dividing
Behind war is where they hide
Bodies piling, children crying
What's the point even trying
Heroes dying, world dividing
Behind war is where they're hiding
I know you could have it all
That's why I'm here so far from home
The world is cruel and there's no end
To the wars that are fought in freedom's name
I only wish to see it end
I want to be all yours again
And as I sit so far from home
I know that my old life is gone (My old life is)
Gone, gone, gone
My old life is
Gone, gone, gone
My old life is gone
