lyrics

AMBER & ASHES. Nicotine sun rise another day; again the doubts are creeping in on raptor claws, and she can lift me up on wings of song – watch the world turn black below… but we are safe. Waves of hatred crashing – sin baptised in piss. Found a life I would give mine for, leave it all behind, it’s just amber and ashes. Child and man both seem so far away; again the mighty stake their ground with racist bombs, but she won’t die unless it’s holding hands – martyrdom’s seductive too… we explode. Flames of mutant passion – dreams realised in life. Found a cause I would spill blood for, won’t sell her out and settle down with amber and ashes. All bets on impossibility; again my needs are creeping in with sweaty palms, and she knows how to keep the world away – hide inside her as war breaks… but we are one. Inhibitions crashing – skin baptised in bliss. Found a life I would give mine for, found it’s all the same, it’s just amber and ashes. Found the perfect girl, found this on her lips: “This is all there is, make the most of it.”
