Ashes In The Fall Lyrics

Ashes In The Fall lyrics

A mass of hands press on the market window
Ghosts of progress
Dressed in
slow death
Feeding on hunger
And glaring through the promise
Upon the
food that rots slowly in the aisle
A mass of nameless at the oasis
That
hides the graves beneath the master's hill
Are buried for drinking
The
river's water
While shackled to the line
At the empty well

This is
the new sound
Just like the old sound
Just like the noose wound
Over
the new ground

Listen to the fascist sing
"Take hope here
War is
elsewhere
You were chosen
This is god's land
Soon we'll be free
Of
blot and mixture
Seeds planted by our
Forefather's hand"

A mass of
promises
Begin to rupture
Like the pockets
Of the new world
kings
Like swollen stomachs
In Appalachia
It's the priests that fuck
you
As they whisper holy things
A mass of tears have transformed to
stones now
Sharpened on suffering
And woven into slings
Hope lies in
the rubble of this rich fortress
Taking today what tomorrow never
brings

This is the new sound
Just like the old sound
Just like the
noose wound
Over the new ground

Ain't it funny how the factory doors
close
Round the time that the school doors close
Round the time that the
doors of the jail cells
Open up to greet you like the reaper

Ain't it
funny how the factory doors close
Round the time that the school doors
close
Round the time that the doors of the jail cells
Open up to greet
you like the reaper

This is the new sound
Just like the old
sound
Just like the noose wound
Over the new ground

Like ashes in
the fall
