Ash Like Snow lyrics

The sky
Is dyed with crimson red
That comes out of the darkness
Of what needs to be said
The stars we used to know
No longer glow
Obscured by all the ash that falls like snow

I watched it all
Through the window of my grief
I never dreamed
That i would feel so cold
There... I come for you

All of my hopes are in a shroud of desolation
Dreams that i once had have all been crushed
Now that everything's changed, i have been holding on so desperately
To the precious things
That i cannot protect
'cause i always break them...

My heart
Is played just like a harp
By sinful hands of darkness
With nails oh so sharp
Your voice is like a drug
That makes me numb
It leaves me with no senses,
Deaf and dumb

No matter how we try to win this war
It never ends!
And why must it be me
Who does the fighting?

Even if all the light around us is distinguished
Even if the earth is turned to dust
I won't ever forget
That tiny wish that burns eternally
It will guide us to a better world, somewhere

There i come for you, yeah
Ash like snow
Is falling down from your sky
Ash like snow
Ash like snow
Ash like snow
Let me hear...
Why i have to fight!

And now all of my hopes are in a shroud of desolation
Dreams that i once had have all been crushed
In exchange for the glory that can overcome the choking dark
I have given up the strength i used to protect what i love
(it's falling from your sky)
I don't know what to do...
(baby i come for you)

Every time that i'm cut by broken shards of what was once a dream
I will reach into the darkness of my heart,
And i will try to find the strength to carry on!
'cause i've made it this far...
