Scream - 11. Ashes of tomorrow

You poison the sea you torch the trees
Shit in your bed choke on your greed
You cheer for clowns with bloody hands
Digging graves in your promised land

Burn the sky kill the sun
Blame the world when you're done
Piss in rivers call it clean
Your future's dead but you still dream

We're screwed it's your goddamn fault
Ashes fall the truth gets caught
Shit in your bed drown in flames
Point your fingers shift the blame

You rape the ground you sell the air
Feed the beast and call it fair
You drink the lies you kiss the chains
Laugh while the world circles the drain

Burn the sky kill the sun
Blame the world when you're done
Piss in rivers call it clean
Your future's dead but you still dream

We're screwed it's your goddamn fault
Ashes fall the truth gets caught
Shit in your bed drown in flames
Point your fingers shift the blame

Feed the fire choke on smoke
Watch your world go up in jokes
No gods no prayers no saving grace
You're the one who torched this place

Burn it down…
Your empire's dust your throne's a joke
The mirror cracks you start to choke
Burn it down…
The wolves you fed they're at your door
There's no escape… not anymore

We're screwed it's your goddamn fault
Ashes fall the truth gets caught
Shit in your bed drown in flames
Point your fingers shift the blame

You kiss the flames but now you see
The ashes of tomorrow… your legacy
Your ashes your shame… your legacy

Burn!

You kiss the flames but now you see
The ashes of tomorrow… your legacy
Your ashes your shame… your legacy

Burn!

I often wonder what trace of me will remain — and in this song, I tried to hold on to the hope that love leaves a light behind, even when I’m no longer here to keep it burning.
