FROM THE ASHES

I cannot believe it 
I never would have thought 
That I'd become the victim 
Of a heartless holocaust
Every pleasure known to me
Annihilated, gone
Altered in the aftermath
While your life's playing on

~~~*Chorus*~~~
From the ashes
The hopeless and torn
From the impact
Desperation's born
A hint of evil
Rose up and made it through
You're in danger
It's pursuing you 
From the ashes...
~~*~~

Constantly it watches
As pain shifts into wrath
While you believe it's buried
Concealed in your past
Set on its vendetta
Patiently takes its time
Waiting to consume you
For your inhuman crimes

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
From unbound love, pure hate evolved
You've got to play to be absolved
Beg me to forgive your callous soul...
Then maybe I can let this vengeance go
Settle with old ashes and turn cold
Refuse me, ignore me, and it grows
From the ashes
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
From the ashes
The hopeless and torn
From the impact
Desperation's born
A hint of evil
Rose up and made it through
You're in danger
It's pursuing you
From the ashes
~~*~~
