Linda Allen - Ashes & Smoke Lyrics
It was a clear September morning, A phone call gave the warningThere were many people dying, Some were running, some were flyingInto the arms of mystery, A sacrifice to historyWe have been burned, burned by the fireAnd we are ashes, ashes and smokeBut we will rise, higher and higherOn the wings of compassion, justice and hopeIt was a bright October morning, the TV gave the warningRetribution's bombs were flying, and innocents were dyingA mistake we've made before, as we sacrifice to warCHORUSMay these lives not be wasted, or the bitterness we've tastedFor if rage and indignation, Is the common cup of nationsThen hatred will birth violence, Until our tears transform usCHORUS
