In Ashes We Lie
the bodies were still warm
as we awoke
time took past away
we dragged what was left
to the shores
all just to see death
burn holes through the black depths
in deliverance of the ocean nymphs
all just to see death
burn holes through the black depths
and past saturn's' rings
such beautiful things
these screaming voices
of bloodless corpses
time will take that away
come to me
with the tales and travels
of the true living dead
come to me
legends, gods and mystery
as my brothers in rock send
secret whispers to thee
legends, gods, and mystery

[Verse 1]
I gotta few things I wanna ask the Lord
Why my people gotta be so poor, feel me
and why's it so rough when you're young and black
They say you go to jail or get strung on crack
Why the girl have a baby she was twelve years old
Ask the state why the cell's gotta be so cold
and why these niggas here with so many years
whole family in court crying so many tears
can you picture us living with hope [hell no]
when the same ones hanging us is giving us dope
shit, it's hard to get by
I pray to God it's still hard to get by
Just wanna hold my son [my man
I gotta few things I wanna ask the Lord
Why my people gotta be so poor, feel me
and why's it so rough when you're young and black
They say you go to jail or get strung on crack
Why the girl have a baby she was twelve years old
Ask the state why the cell's gotta be so cold
and why these niggas here with so many years
whole family in court crying so many tears
can you picture us living with hope [hell no]
when the same ones hanging us is giving us dope
shit, it's hard to get by
I pray to God it's still hard to get by
Just wanna hold my son [my man
