King of the Ashes

I woke up in a different world today

All that I held dear had been stripped away

Cause a man came to town

He’s gonna burn it all down

Some fought some followed

Some looked the other way

He’s a wolf in the cloak of the sheep

And he preys on the fearful and the weak

With a serpent’s tongue he rages against

The prophets and the sages

He snuck in through the back door

While we were all asleep

Oh rise up! Rise up!

Let’s stop this train before it crashes

He won’t let up until he’s won

He’ll burn it down just to be kind of the ashes

Never shut up! Never shut up!

Because hate is gasoline and silence is the matches

Now pay attention children and be brave

It’s in your hands to make this darkness go away

Turn away from childish things

And all the suffering they bring

Stand up to the bigots and the wicket

Or be their slave
