I Walked Through the Ashes ft. Randie Goode Lyrics

By the waters that used to run

In the heat of the blazing sun

Buried cities are underground

Not a signpost, and not a sound

You teemed and you conquered til you had it all

You preyed on the weak, and you felt so tall

You'd never fall

I walked through the ashes

Of nightmares and dreams

I cursed at the tyrants

And torched all their schemes

By the bridges of Babylon

Ancient forests and now they're gone

Through the plastic in seven seas

Dying fishes in Galilee

The wreckage that you made

Rains down on me

No one truly has liberty

Till all of us are free

I walked through the ashes

Of nightmares and dreams

I cursed at the tyrants

And torched all their schemes

Why are there so many cars on the road

Why is there so much smoke in the sky

Don't know if I can believe what I'm told

Don't know if I'll get the chance to grow old

Why's history full of tragedy

Why do people say "It can't happen to me"

Every empire has its day

Even the mighty have to pay

They say pride comes before a fall

But the outcome's too close to call

I ride like the wind to forget the past

Tip the porter, he could be the last

I hope the end is fast

We walked through the ashes

Of nightmares and dreams

We cursed at the tyrants

We smashed all their schemes
