Lyrics

King of the Ashes

(Music - M. Novak, Lyrics – M. Novak, C. Webster)

Sometimes our emotions can run well out of line
We have a choice of restraint or destruction this time
Anger comes easy it ignites with a spark
It clouds clear thinking puts control in the dark
Winning at all cost is the ultimate goal
All bridges are burnt to embers and coal

CHORUS:

If you let your emotions spark deadly flashes
Would you let it burn to be king of the ashes
This wild fire creates deadly backlashes
Would you let it burn to be king of the ashes
Would you fan the flame to win these clashes
Would you let it burn to be king of the ashes

Politicians and wall street are the Kings of the ashes
They burn your hopes with ego tipped matches
Our future hopes are a promise of big return
Our money stokes their furnace and we just get burned
They manipulate the market to make money up and down
With their unearned profits they never have a frown

CHORUS:

With promises of change we vote them to office
But their loyalties soon change to the highest paying caucus
To be king of the ashes is their highest goal
As we turn to ashes there is no sympathies just control
As they turn on each other with thoughts of what it would bring
They’ve created mountains of ashes and now only one king

Lust is the fire the only reason we are here
Uncontrolled desires leaves victims filled with fear
Men of power seem to think they have a free hand
Abusing and burning to ashes those under their command
Victims have risen as their empire crashes
The once powerful men are now king of the ashes
