ashes & empty words
lyrics by michael p. naughton
i took my ashes to the mountains
brought back a fire for you
i told you ‘bout man and his madness
always searchin’ for truth
well i was never satisfied with the shadows
or the temples made of stone
now i know…
well, who is this hangman and bloodhound?
judging my life, dragging me down
i’ll burn the words
and the things you teach
i’ll give birth to my own beliefs
i’ve given it thought
given it thought
yes, i have…
(chorus)
ashes and empty words
sweet promises make prisoners… it’s true…
well somebody said, “son of man’s coming back,”
i shook my head and i had to laugh
he’s already here… don’t you understand?
you wouldn’t recognize him
if he shook your hand
well there is ice in their laughter
when everyone says they got the answer
you wanna change the world
and the shape it’s in
but you yourself are the violence
have you given it thought?
given it thought?
well, i have…
(chorus)
ashes and empty words
everybody’s so self*assured
and i laugh…
and mother, we said we’d save her
as we stripped the world of its nature
the weeds are pushing up through the cracks
you can turn you back, turn your back
turn your back…
and you my friend, you take your ashes
and trade ‘em in for gold
i’ve told you ‘bout man and his madness
there’s a dove for you to behold
if you’ve given it thought
given it thought
well i have…
(chorus)
ashes and empty words
everybody’s so self*assured
and i laugh…
