Ashes

I've got a mind to shed my skin To let out what's within To free the light inside My bones will be the kindling For the fire 'round which we'll sing And the song on which we'll ride Ashes, ashes I am destined to be ashes So I will melt with who is by my side I've built around my heart a church And the pew in which in which I perch And the seat in which I pray For my god is Rock and Roll the first And though it may be cursed It's the only game worth playing Ashes, ashes I am destined to be ashes So melt with me and keep my soul from straying Some may find beauty hard to see But it's easy enough for me Just a beat and these three chords And though I may be a stumbling fool I am sharpening my tool This guitar will be my sword Ashes, ashes I am destined to be ashes So melt with me and we will find the Lord My heart is such a wayward ship Briefly docking 'fore each trip Just a kiss before I cruise And though waves are often beckoning There's a sudden reckoning As your eyes have tripped my fuse Ashes, ashes I am destined to be ashes So melt with me, there's nothing left to lose
