Lyrics

How many hours do we sleep on the ashes
Without dreaming
Without dreaming of the flame?
How many lives do we stumble through in silence
Till it's calling
It's calling our name?
Touched that fire
The burning remains
Walk toward the sun and you're moving into starlight
And you see the world is in flames
Touched by fire
The burning remains
Is it angels laughing at their shoulder
Or just spirits that don't know they're gone?
It's like standing on the outside looking in at the light
The shadows of something keep the source out of sight
Oh, let me live at the heart of the burning
Oh, let me breathe through the center of the flame
Till all my sorrows fall in darkness like petals from a rain
And only ashes and light remain
Only ashes and light remain
Only ashes and light remain
How many hours do we sleep on the ashes
Without dreaming?
