Ashes of the World Lyrics

The sky's burned red, no stars tonight

The echoes of sorrow fill the endless fight

Children cried where dreams once grew

Now fields of blood are their mourning dew

The earth shakes under marching boots

Each step a promise, a bitter truth

Brothers falling, hands stretched wide

Caught in the crossfire where lovers die

We are the ashes of the world

Smoke rising where hope unfurled

Torn by the horrors we've sown in vain

Carrying the weight of endless pain, oh

When will we learn

When will we turn

From ashes to light

From fire to light

In desert sands and frozen plains

The tears of the innocent still leave stains

Walls are built and hearts are torn

In every war, another soul is worn

Brothers clutch the air where their sons once stood

While prayers are drowned in the flood of blood

Flags wave high, but at what cost

In every victory, another is lost

We are the ashes of the world

Smoke rising where hope unfurled

Torn by the horrors we've sown in vain

Carrying the weight of endless pain, oh

When will we learn

When will we turn

From ashes to light

From fire to light

Fire to light

When dare to see the shadow stretching long

With silence screaming through a broken song

Every bullet fired, every life denied

Writes another verse where humanity dies

We are the ashes of the world

Smoke rising where hope unfurled

Torn by the horrors we've sown in vain

Carrying the weight of endless pain, oh

When will we learn

When will we turn

From ashes to light

From fire to light

Fire to light

Let the rivers cleanse this charred domain

Let love rise above the ruins of pain

For if we stay on this course we tread

The world will be nothing but ashes and dread

The skies burn red, no stars tonight

The echoes of sorrow fill the endless flight

Children cry where dreams once grew

We are the ashes of the world

Smoke rising where hope unfurled

Torn by the horrors we've sown in vain

Carrying the weight of endless pain, oh

When will we learn

When will we turn

From ashes to light

From fire to light

Ashes to light

From fire to light
