Eat the Ashes Lyrics

I remember the fire
That we set at high school
In that autumn of '82
We gave to the heat
Simply all it could eat
And it cured me of you
But for me
This is the first time
Yes for me...

Time to eat the ashes
That we left behind
Somewhere there's a fire
With you inside

This paraffin sin
Lights a blaze from within
Let it blush, let it bloom and then die
This world is a joke
When it's wrapped up in smoke
It consumes all your ego and pride
But for me...
It's not the first time
Yes for me...
Time to eat the ashes
That we left behind
Somewhere there's a fire
With you inside

Well I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
There's some things you can't do without
And I lied and I lied and I lied and I lied
There's some fires you cannot put out
But for me...
This is the last time
Yes for me...
Time to eat the ashes
That we left behind
Somewhere there's a fire
With you inside

Don't you eat the ashes
That we left behind
Don't tell me you've wasted
Your whole life
