Standing in the Ashes Songtext
von Salvage

As I reach below Inside this pile of broken promises
We struggle through discontent and resentment
I′m slowly drawn into this sinking sand with no way to recover

Nobody wants to compromise
As the ice breaks, we drown towards our demise

Standing in the ashes
Buried beneath the remains of our intentions
Everybody's flawed and so am I (so am I)
Tell me your deepest fears
I′ll try to comfort you before we die

Can we find the glue to hold us together?
Now the stakes are high enough
The stakes are high enough
Can we overcome our differences
Before we succumb to our own failures


Can we extract
This toxic salt
From our infested
Fucking wounds?

Will we prevent
Control or oppression?
You are not alone in this world
(You're not alone)

We're just weeds in this world that we ruin
By wanting to impose our will on others
We′re all to blame for ancestors′ mistakes
We're all too ashamed to look objectively

Standing in the ashes
Buried beneath the remains of our intentions
Everybody′s flawed and so am I (so am I)
Tell me your deepest fears
I'll try to comfort you before we die
Standing in the ashes
Standing in the ashes
Rebuild, rebuild
On this ground where our blood was spilt
