Up With The Smoke - Down With The Ash by Turboweekend
Up With The Smoke - Down With The Ash lyrics
I saw the animal six as a silhuette fixed on the back
wall
I turned my body around so I could face the sound of
the cat�s call
The broken window was shaking and my bones were aching
to follow the trail
Where the curtains were torn by the claws and the horns
I saw the sweep of the nine tails
Through the shimmering light I stumbled into the nights
empire
And with the spark in my hand I followed blood in the
sand to the bonfire
This is a farewell to names, old tags burn in the
flames with a flash
And as your old body chokes you rise up with the smoke
and come down with the ash
Wind from the coastline blows cross the highs and the
lows turning wolves into sheep
Just when the skyline quakes, clouds fall into the
lake, stars are lost in the deep
Trombones and tamburines play, big sound makes
everything sway
Vision blurred by the heat, bodies are chained to the
beat
Breaking the loop, I saw the birdmen swoop down for
prey
Their beaks in my back I heard the branches crack as
they flew me away
This is a farewell to names, old tags burn in the
flames with a flash
And as your old body chokes you rise up with the smoke
and come down with the ash
It has exploded the frames, memories tied to the games
of the past
I am devided and tossed, among the bones of the lost I
am the first and the last
Heart beat, heart beat. We�ve never been down this
street
These licks these tricks � We�re playing with the
animal sixth
Through the shimmering light I stumbled into the nights
empire
And with the spark in my hand I followed blood in the
sand to the bonfire
This is a farewell to names, old tags burn in the
flames with a flash
And as your old body chokes you rise up with the smoke
and come down with the ash
