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
