Lyrics
Return To Ashes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look to history
The politicians say they’re right
And stoke the fire till the ash turns white
They say survival’s everything
But as for me I don’t say a thing
Oh yeah
How long must I still fight
Woah oh
Watching other countries plight
Woah oh
Just look back to history
You will see that it’s filled with greed
The only way to get ahead
Is exploit the weak and to burn your dead
Just look to history
Society in moral decay
Here tomorrow
Or gone today
Oh yeah
We’ll return to ashes one day
