Ashes (Oliver Smith Remix)

Across the eerie waters Misty covered glass I spied A sad procession snaking down The dry and deathly trail And as my telescopic eye Focused on the marching line It settled on the fallen crown Now covered with a veil The heavy weight of mourning Drew each head to face the ground Muscles tight on bearers arms Each body cold and frail And through the muslin mist The beating drums the only sound Twenty boats out in the bay All ready to set sail Ashes, take me back to earth Water, quench my human thirst Ashes, take me back to earth Water, quench my human thirst Ashes, take me back to earth Water, quench my human thirst Ashes, take me back to earth Water, quench my human thirst
