From the Ashes

From the ashes, I was born
To the ashes, I return
That's the reason I can stand and still walk upon the Earth
From the ashes, I was blessed
To the ashes, I repent
That's the reason I see God and why having faith makes sense

(Ring around the... ring around the... ring around the Rosie)
(Pocket full of... pocket full of... pocket full of posies)
(Ashes and ashes and ashes and ashes)
(Like ashes, like ashes, we all fall down)

When I turn into the ashes
Lemme sprinkle on my music
Cause that's where I feel at peace
And that's where I feel elusive
When I turn into the ashes
Lemme sprinkle somewhere tropical
That's my natural habitat
And that's where I'm feeling logical

From the ashes, I recall
From the ashes, I can tell
That the devils among men they remain alive and well

I see hatred in your eyes
I see hatred through your teeth
You don't even gotta hide it cause it's hatred what you bleed
And is that what you desire
And is that what you require
Cause with hatred you'll die young when your situation dire

I got no hatred
With racists, I got no hatred
With terrorists, I got no hatred
With convicts, I got no hatred
With killers, I got no hatred
With poachers, I got no hatred
With clansmen, I got no hatred
With devils, I got no hatred
No hatred for thy

From the ashes, I seek guidance
I seek it from the most high
From the ashes, I seek worship
Cause I'm grateful this time
From the ashes, I seek comfort
From the ashes, I seek love
Lots of space inside my heart
But there's only room for one

Don't got the energy to hate
Don't got that hatred in my veins
I don't care enough to hate
But it runs rampant through y'all brains
I keep that beast inside me tame
And even when I'm bout to break
I just keep it to myself
And never break my poker face

From the ashes, I seek strength
To the ashes I give thanks
No explanation needed I just left the essay blank
From the ashes, I seek peace
To the ashes, I show love
But that love is so one-sided that I've learned to rise above

All the hearts of man
But right now what's the plan
I got no hatred, I got no love
And I can't understand
Why I was born this way
Why I was made this way
To the ashes, I return
And that's when I'll fade away
(And that's when I'll fade away)

(From the Ashes)
(From the Ashes)
(From the Ashes)
