Ashes

I got a mind to shed my skin
To let out what's within
To free the light inside

My bones will be the kindling
For the fire round which we'll sing
And the song which we'll write

Ashes, ashes, I am destined to be ashes
So I will melt who is by my side

I built around my heart a church
And a pew, in which I perch
And the seat in which I pray

For my God, is rock and roll the first?
And though it may be cursed, it's the only game to play.

Ashes, ashes, I am destined to be ashes
So melt with me, keep my soul from strayin

Some may find, it is hard to see
But its easy enough for me
Just to beat in these 3 chords

Though I may be a stumbling fool
I'm sharpening my tool
This guitar will be my soul

Ashes, ashes, I am destined to be ashes
So melt with me and we will find a lull

My heart is such a wayward ship
Briefly darkened for it's trip
Just a kiss, before I cruise

And though waves are often beckoning
There's a sudden reckoning
As your eyes have tripped my fuse

Ashes, ashes, I am destined to be ashes
So melt with me, there's nothing left to lose
