How many hours do we sleep on the ashes Without dreaming Without dreaming of the flames? How many lives do we stumble through in silence It's call - calls out our name? Touched by fire - the burning remains Walk toward the sun and you're moving into starlight And you see the world is in flames Touch that fire - the burning remains Is it angels that I'm seeing on their shoulders? Or just spirits that don't know they're gone? It's like standing on the outside looking in at the light But the shadows of something keep it just out of sight... Oh let me live at the heart of the Burning Oh let me breath through the center of the flame 'Til all my sorrows fall to darkness like petals fall to rain And only ashes and light remain Only ashes and light remain Only ashes and light remain... How many hours do we sleep on the ashes without dreaming...
