Something got burned in the fire last night
Said I dont know what it was
But it sure stinks ripe
Last night
I hauled all the burning embers outside
Poured them on the ground
And I prayed to the sky
Outside
The color of the ashes was the strangest grey
Smoke slow danced above them
In a ghostly way
Strangest grey
And it looks
Like theres nothing
Left
Alive
Looks like theres nothing left alive
Inside
The smoke brought a vision as it danced on the coals
Of a blackened dove
And a bleached out crow
On the coal
They talked about a time before the flood
When they didn't know each other
Because they were one
Before the flood
And it looks
Like theres nothing
Left
Alive
Looks like theres nothing left alive
Inside
They brought me to the place where the old man died
Singing go tell I wrote it down
By the riverside
Old man has died
At the service I saw his skin had turned grey
So that it matched the box
Supplied by the state
It turned grey
And it looks
Like theres nothing
Left
Alive
Looks like theres nothing left alive
Inside
I watched as the hearse went a rolling by
Caught my reflection in the
Glossy shine
Rolling by
And i saw the tears hanging on my face
I went to wipe them away
But there wasn't a trace
On my face
And it looks
Like theres nothing
Left
Alive
Looks like theres nothing left alive
Inside
And blood came pouring down from the sun
And ever since then
All the colors are gone
