King Of Ashes lyrics

I'm the king of ashes
Nothing from the flame survives
Hands can turn the tides
I have been consumed

The road runs straight from Tarsus
But I am mystified
I would you were by my side
These are mortal wounds
These are mortal wounds
Yeah yeah
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/david_knopfler/king_of_ashes.html ]
And they cannot hear my plea
They will not play my tunes
Melodies in rented rooms
Price for seein' true

But I can't court fashion
Let me be who I am
Far from savage lands
I will be renewed
I will be renewed
Yeah yeah

The king of ashes
Whoever's by my side
Across the great divide
Marry, I'll love you

The king of ashes
My heart is open wide
I pray you're satisfied
And it's all that I can do
It's all that I can do
Yeah yeah yeah
