Dan Bull - Born in the Ashes lyrics

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't ah, forget it

Born in the ashes

Each night I used to dream of being a fighter
It seemed to me to be the right
Key for me to strive for
I mindlessly believed I'd lead a
Life of real excitement
Heedless of the peace of mind I'd
Need to leave behind for it
I lay to rest the playful innocent
Days I was a lad
Now I'm driven by the hate to
Vindicate my mum and dad
Eliminate the man who won't discriminate
'tween good and bad
Flay him with the blade I made
And feel the pain I've suffered
That whoreson ripped away the pure fulfilment
That I could have had
So should you ask me if I'd
Love to kill him: Well yeah, just a tad
I'll thrust and stab him 'til he's just
A sack of blood and rags
Then drag him through the gutter
Shove him back into his mother's vag
Gather the ashes of the pillaged village
And then build a palace
We'll fill a chalice and then tilt
It out for Silver Skalitz

Born in the ashes of a joy torn away from me
I was a boy whose dreams turned
Round and now they're chasing me
Born in the ashes of a
Simple and wholesome being
I was a boy whose goals turned
Round unfolding in ways unseen
Born in the ashes

Sharp metal leaves a vicious cut
But nettle leaves'll fix it up
Our quest'll being inflicting justice on the
Beasts who think it's nothin'
So run to Sigismund, give him the signal
This is coming
And that imprisonment isn't the system
With which he'll be punished
He'll witness his kingdom coming
Down without deliverance
As brick and rubble crumbles
Crushing his ambition into dust
I'm just a humble smith's son
Who won't be pissed on
Who won't stop thinking of you
Gettin' hung 'til it's done
You'll tell me what I need to
Know or there'll be fists swung
A knuckle sandwich always loosens
Up a stiff tongue
Witness the son of a blacksmith
Giving someone a slapped wrist
With a couple of axes, the fact is
Your death is a certain as taxes
Gather the ashes of the pillaged village
And then build a palace
We'll fill a chalice and then tilt
It out for Silver Skalitz

Born in the ashes of a joy torn away from me
I was a boy whose dreams turned
Round and now they're chasing me
Born in the ashes of a
Simple and wholesome being
I was a boy whose goals turned
Round unfolding in ways unseen
Born in the ashes

I know I'm no genius
But no leader of Bohemia's so lenient
That they won't see me looking
Like I'm lacking obedience
I don't show allegiance to
No thieving deviants or show weakness
I grow freely from home grown ingredients
I will train until our name and
The vow I made are renowned
A phrase that'll travel way
Throughout the reign
Resound and make any man afraid
Who are now engaged in power plays
They'll have a case of sour grapes
They'll bow in shame, marrow, veins
Bowel and brains will drown in pain
Flowers placed on a shallow grave
Hell await's you
But now Satan's an hour late
At the tower gates
The panel breaks and the foundations
Now shaking, ground quaking
Devout placing our faith
In the hallowed grace and marinade it
'til the arrows rain, the spell, it breaks
Nothing can heal the damage
This anguish will not vanish
The grief's so real
It's not a feeling I'll reveal with language
But Radzig Kobyla's got the will
To help dispel the hell
Let's never stop until we've got the
Steel that killed your dad
Let's gather the ashes of the pillaged
Village and then build a palace
We'll fill a chalice and then tilt
It out for Silver Skalitz

Born in the ashes of a joy torn away from me
I was a boy whose dreams turned
Round and now they're chasing me
Born in the ashes of a
Simple and wholesome being
I was a boy whose goals turned
Round unfolding in ways unseen
Born in the ashes

Born in the ashes
