"To The Ashes" lyrics

Brother, hold on just a little longer
The burning hour is here

Reaching out for what you love
An intoxicating drug
But it's never enough
This is the debt we pay
Must sacrifice this rage
Rip, tear, and burn this forgotten page

Oh no, can we ever live this down?
Come tomorrow, we'll live it anyway

Will you hold us to
(This) Pain renewed
(Time) Brought us to the edge
The flames anew
(Burn) A dream we lose
(Our lies) Caught us in the end

Do we burn alive just to fail again?
(Do we deserve a second chance?)
Do we burn alive just to fail again?
(Surrender to the ashes)

Martyr just die a little harder
Your retribution is here

Breathing down my neck
Is this constant dread
That I gave up on us
Gave into weakness instead
This pound of flesh I paid
Fire cleansed by the rage
I'll rip, tear, destroy this page

Will you hold us to
(This) Pain renewed
(Time) Brought us to the edge
The flames anew
(Burn) A dream we lose
(Our lies) Caught us in the end

Do we burn alive just to fail again?
(Do we deserve a second chance?)
Do we burn alive just to fail again?
(Surrender to the ashes)

We fought the fire, but it consumed
Hopes shattered, we're buried in gloom
Let the ashes be our tomb
We rise, we fall, we will burn again

Will you hold us to
(This) Pain renewed
(Time) Brought us to the edge
The flames anew
(Burn) The dreams we lose
(Our lies) Caught us in the end

Do we burn alive just to fail again?
(Do we deserve a second chance?)
Do we burn alive just to fail again?
(Surrender to the ashes)
