Built On 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.
Like a strange fruit, that's out of season
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
You are bound to die alone
You will swing free on the breeze then
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
You are bound to die alone
(You are bound to die alone)
At the end of the day, you went for lights out
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
You are bound to die alone
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
At the end of it all, there is no doubt
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
That you are bound to die alone
(We are bound to die alone)
Don't darling die on me now
(Don't darling die on me now)
We'll dig a grave close to your home
(We'll dig a grave close to your home)
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
(Don't you fix your eyes on me now)
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
They're coming closer to kill us
Don't cry, don't cry on me now
No, they ain't ever goin' to help us
Close to his grave, we'll build our home
They're coming closer just to kill us
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
You know they never goin' help us
We never said you'd come back home
End of the way when the thieves tell
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
You are bound to die alone
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
At the end of it all when the fields burn
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
You are bound to die alone
(We are bound to die alone)
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
Now god, heaven die, and die on me now
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
And we'll dig a grave close to our home
(Oho-oho-ohhh)
Don't you fix your eyes, don't you fix your eyes on me now
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
Don't darling, die on me now
(Don't darling die on me now)
We'll dig the grave close to your home
(We'll dig the grave close to your home)
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
(Don't you fix your eyes on me now)
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
