ashes

• above and beyond pres. oceanlab'in sirens of the sea albümünden güzel bir şarkı daha. güzel de bir oliver smith remixi var... sözleri:
  
  across the eerie waters,
  misty covered glass i spied
  a sad procession, snaking down
  the dry and deathly trail.
  and as my telescopic eye
  focused on the marching line,
  it settled on the fallen crown,
  now covered with a veil.
  
  the heavy weight of mourning
  drew each head to face the ground.
  muscles tight on bearers' arms
  each body cold and frail.
  and through the muslin mist
  the beating drums, the only sound..
  twenty boats out in the bay
  all ready to set sail.
  
  ashes.. take me back to earth..
  water.. quench my human thirst..
  ashes.. take me back to earth..
  water.. quench my human thirst..
  
  my bones soaked in the icy cold
  and fixed me where i lay,
  until each vessel left the shore
  and made a line for me.
  there never was a breeze,
  the leaves were silent all that day.
  they say the sails were ghosts
  that stole the wind to set them free.
  
  i layed transfixed,
  felt nothing, but the beating of my fear
  as flames rose up and swallowed whole
  greatest of the fleet
  the others circled round
  and i heard chanting fill the air,
  the ashes, lifted high
  were falling back into the sea.
  
  ashes.. take me back to earth..
  water.. quench my human thirst..
  ashes.. take me back to earth..
  water.. quench my human thirst...
