lyrics

[Intro]
Ring around the rosy
Pockets full of posies
Ashes, ashes

Ashes in the air
Ashes in the sky
Falling like snowflakes
Dancing in the wind

Ashes in the air
Ashes in the sky
Rising from wild fires
Trav'ling far and wide

Is it true that if we're careful
We can keep the beast at bay
We are melting, we are melting
Jagged pieces break away
And the salt water is rising
In our tears, we float away

The ashes are so tiny
But they occupy the sky
Turning air to burning shadows
Burning embers in our eyes
And the ashes keep on falling
And the world has come untied

They are knocking
Can you hear them?
Do you think you'll get away?
But they say that if we're careful
We can keep the beast at bay

Fire in the air
Fire in the sky
Roaring like freight trains
The hell fire thunders by

The beast behind the door
The flame licks at the roof
The embers, embers in our eyes
The ice melting, melting
Can we get away?

Is it true that if we're careful
We can keep the beast at bay
We are melting, we are melting
Jagged pieces break away
And the salt water is rising
In our tears, we float away

They are knocking
Can you hear them?
Do you think you'll get away?
But they say that if we're careful
We can keep the beast at bay

Fire in the air
Fire in the sky
Roaring like freight trains
The hell fire thunders by

Ashes, ashes, ashes
