In Ashes We Lie Lyrics - Grade

Are we here to understand or to survive? 

We are building mountains 

The blueprints are being drawn 

Yet breathless words pour from these eyes 

Mounds lay like bodies in the morgue side by side 

In ashes we lie, in ashes we lie 

We're so unkind 

We're so disguised 

In ashes we lie, in ashes we lie 

Are we here to understand or to survive? 

Smoke screens and bandages cannot hide the icons 

In architecture that stand as archives of colossal structure 

Assembled to destruction, layer in degrees of gray scale coating 

In ashes we, in ashes we lie 

So travel broken rivers across manufactured landscapes 

And along the rebuilt curve of the planet 

Yet breathless words pour from these eyes, now
