Awake In Ashes

I lay awake in ashes choking smoke, my lungs collapsing Visions blurry, i feel im falling fear of the end Is this God calling? Black days, cold nights we're left to shiver Waiting for hope that no one delivers Walking these streets aligned with these fiends Praying for something that no one believes Are we all trapped in this circle of life The blood that drips from the edge of the knife Yesterday's news none of it matters The truth stays forever when everyone scatters Blasphamous greed hunger and poverty The murders, rapes violence, and sodomy Life after death better, it has to be As we sit and wait for our life's tragedy.
