"ASHES" lyrics

Man with a chain crossed the land
Driving a stake where the grass had been
Too many prophets, all of them sure
Pouring a cure from a brown glass jar

Buffalo bleach on the plains
That's how the West was won
But I keep thinking, yeah, I keep thinking
Just out here thinking about home, but I can't picture it

On and on, it runs
Like a gold fever, gold fever
From the grave, it hums
"Well, you're no different, no different"

(Ashes) Well, the riders come down through the dark
(Ashes) And the god of the high country sleeps
(Ashes) Now as Heaven looks down with no eyes
Ashes, ashes

May we live forever
Sorry if I didn't care
May we vanish to never
Sorry if I didn't care
May we continue together
Sorry if I didn't care
(Didn't care)

Lied like a friend, locked the door
Salted the mine, sold a dream once more
Too many gamblers, all of them owed
Digging their own on the dead-end road

Everybody dies
The sun in their eyes, in their eyes
Now the ground don't care
Not who you prayed to, you prayed to

(Ashes) Well, the riders come down through the dark
(Ashes) And the god of the high country sleeps
(Ashes) Now as Heaven looks down with no eyes
Ashes, ashes

May we live forever
Sorry if I didn't care
May we vanish to never
Sorry if I didn't care
May we continue together
Sorry if I didn't care

What's the use anymore?
All the same as before
Am I here anymore?
Should I stay anymore?
Leave your rules at the door
I can't wait anymore
What's the use anymore?
Should I leave anymore?
Could I walk through the door
Same as before?
