Ash falls like prayer The garden burns for me I built a throne from broken bones A palace for my whispered moans The walls of gold, the altar black All crumble now beneath my track Ashes of Eden, rise in flame I set the world ablaze in my name Every crown, every lie, every creed Turns to smoke in my release I kissed the fire, drank the light And danced through shadows of the night The saints I made, the saints I broke All vanish now, my final stroke I am the ruin, I am the spark I carve my freedom through the dark Ashes of Eden, rise in flame I set the world ablaze in my name Every crown, every lie, every creed Turns to smoke in my release Ashes of Eden, I am reborn From ruin, light is never torn I bleed, I burn, I rise anew This temple dies, but I am true But I am true Ash falls like prayer, I rise like flame
