Playlist Ashes Remain

ashes remain - after all this

Arms held out
Proclaiming your hand
And fading fast
And fooling around

I cannot live free
From screaming out your name
And I can feel the pain
As you take my chains

Now, my love, forever, I am free
Now, I know you'll never ever leave
Me alone

Empty grave
And angels fly
I'm missing you
And wonder why

Then I see your face
Shining with your grace
I don't feel no pain
I can't find my chains

Now, my love, forever, I am free
Now, I know you'll never ever leave
Me alone

This is all I want
You are all I need
After all of this
You're everything I see

This is all I want
You are all I need
After all of this
You're everything I see

After all of this
You're everything I see
You're everything I see

ashes remain - end of me

There?s a fire burning inside me / cold steel calls out my name
Tempted to give in to the rage
Torn apart by this affliction / locked up inside myself
This life is much too young to fade.

// CHORUS:
I ran away from the pain / always breaking down inside
Incomplete / but now I see
This won?t be the end of me //

The world around me / sells an empty promise
They build you up just to watch you fall
It?s time to meet this face to face

// CHORUS //

Black and white melt into grey / till every truth is stripped away
When nothing?s wrong nothing?s ok
Everyone has been betrayed

// CHORUS 2x //

ashes remain - broken pieces

Well
Everything you hide
Everything inside
Everything you know to be
You!
Run away from me
So afraid to see
Everything get taken away!

I know just where you're going
And I see where you've been
You pick up the broken pieces
And try so hard to win
You're destined to repeat this over and over and over and over again

Take
Everything from me
Let me set you free
Let me be your saving one
I know just how you feel
I got something real
Something you can never change

I know just where you're going
And I see where you've been
You pick up the broken pieces
And try so hard to win
You're destined to repeat this over and over and over and over again

I know just where you're going
And I see where you've been
You pick up the broken pieces
And try so hard to win
You're destined to repeat this over and over and over and over again

ashes remain - change my life

I'm still awake tonight
broken up inside
I wanna run
but I don't know where to go
I'm calling Your name through the pain
Will You turn Your face to me
I'm crying out I need a miracle

If You could make the sun burn through the night
And You could make the dead man come alive
If You could make the oceans all run dry
Then I know You can change my life
I know You can change my life

I wanna know who You are that You can fix my heart
And I don't have to run anymore
Open my eyes let me see
Give me hope and set me free
Cause I don't wanna be the way I was before

Give me something to believe in
Something worth fighting for
Something that I can't ignore
You could make the sun burn through the night
You could make the oceans all run dry...

I need you to change my life
I need you to change my life

ashes remain - come alive

I?d die to breath You in / feel You beneath my skin
Let go of all I?ve been just spinning around
Hold on to all You are / trade my life for these scars
All just to see how far I?d make it this time
I?d come alive, I?

CHORUS:
I?m just spinning around / never knowing
Why I haven?t been found / this?ll be the
Last time I?ll have to hide
Living for the moment / when I come alive

You found me in the deep / begging my lungs to breath
You know I?m far too weak to make it alone
I?d come alive, I?

CHORUS

It?s over, it?s over, wont go back this time
It?s over, it?s over, it?s over cause
I?m done spinning around / never knowing
Why I haven?t been found / this?ll be the
Last time I?ll have to hide
Living for the moment / when I, when I come alive

ashes remain - deep inside

Many nights and days gone by
The cold air hits me starts the thoughts to fly
Wish your light weren't so hard to see
I keep waiting here, I guess I'm waiting for a miracle

Sometimes I think I've got control
Other times, baby, it just goes away
In a life where I just don't know
But what I don't know
Is Life is in Your hands?

Here's a star to wish upon
Here's a dream to keep inside forever
Although it may not come true
It's just a spark of hope
That reflects in me and you
So whatcha gonna do?

Sometimes I think I've got control
Other times, baby, it just goes away
In a life where I just don't know
But what I don't know
Is Life is in Your hands?

As I look up at the sky
The cold air hits me and I feel alive
What once was beautiful is now a lie
Life's what He makes of it
Not what you think deep inside

ashes remain - everything good

You are oxygen / on a late night drive
To clear my head when hope has passed me by
You are gravity / when I?m upside down
You help me find my way back to the ground
And this is why

// CHORUS //
You?re everything good / everything true
When all the world is fading / You?re everything new
You are my eyes / when I can?t see
When all the world is broken / You will always be
Everything good //

You are all I have / and all I need
And all I am is what You?ve made of me
And this is why

// CHORUS //

You?re everything / good to me
You?re everything / that I need / that I need
And this is why

// CHORUS x2 //

ashes remain - fade away

Sometimes I get so afraid
Or paranoid by the things I say
I've been know to lose my way
That's when I fall down again

Sometimes things get so messed up
I start sinking in the mud
You reach down and pick me up
Dream ahead and fill my cup

I fade away
I fade away

I'm not myself today (and I feel great)
I'm in your will today (of guiding grace)
We've only got today (one foot in the grave)
Tomorrow'll come
The sun will shine
Life goes on
As we all fade away

Sometimes I get tossed around
I find my head inside a cloud
Silence is the perfect sound
Perfect piece of mind you've found
I fade away

I fade away

I'm not myself today (and I feel great)
I'm in your will today (of guiding grace)
We've only got today (one foot in the grave)
Tomorrow'll come
The sun will shine
Life goes on
As we all fade away

Oh, take us away yeah

I'm not myself today (and I feel great)
I'm in your will today (of guiding grace)
We've only got today (one foot in the grave)
Tomorrow'll come
The sun will shine
Life goes on
As we all fade away
As we all fade away

ashes remain - fervor

Sometimes I feel you like a raging storm
In your power I tremble
And in your arms I'm warm
In the light I hear you
Screaming out my name
And in this life I need you
Need you to help me change

Will you, will you take me further
Than I am willing to go?
Will you, will you burn my fervor?
Will you embrace my soul?

You're as close to me as the falling rain
You're as close as my sickness
As far away as my pain
In the Light I hear you
Screaming out my name
And in this life I need you
Need you to help me change

Will you, will you take me further
Than I am willing to go?
Will you, will you burn my fervor?
Will you embrace my soul?

Will you, will you take me further
Than I am willing to go?
Will you, will you burn my fervor?
Will you embrace my soul?

Will you, will you take me, take me
Than I am willing to go?
Will you, will you burn my fervor?
Will you embrace my soul?

ashes remain - gemini

The tainted air has risen above the clouds of trust
Rain down upon these eyes and turn them to rust
She cries into the sunlight and reflex of love
She thinks she's lost
While he stands at the river and just can't get across

And all this time
And all this time

It's just the rusted trust of the Gemini
And in her mind she's screaming
(she's screaming)

Won't you look at me
Won't you set me free
Won't you pull these lies out
I've got no doubt
(I've got no doubt
I've got no doubt
I've got no doubt)

Open the box of worms however painful it may be
Scream into the air and cry until it's never the same

And all this time
And all this time

It's just the rusted trust of the Gemini
And in her mind she's never

Won't you look at me
Won't you set me free
Won't you pull these lies out
I've got no doubt
(I've got no doubt
I've got no doubt
I've got no doubt)

Won't you look at me
Won't you set me free
Won't you pull these lies out
I've got no doubt
(I've got no doubt
I've got no doubt)

ashes remain - gift of love

What's the season all about
When all we do is run around
Living for ourselves
Leaving mercy on the shelf
Walking by a homeless man
Who's holding out his empty hand
Doesn't anybody care
Does he even have a prayer

When will we realize and open our eyes

Salvation came to earth
Let us celebrate the birth
Make ourselves the offering
Meet the broken in the streets
The gift that came alive
To take the blame and die
For a world that lives in fear
Let us give the gift of love this year

What's the season all about
With everybody running around
Let's forget about ourselves
And take mercy off the shelf

When will we realize and open our eyes

Salvation came to earth
Let us celebrate the birth
Make ourselves the offering
Meet the broken in the streets
The gift that came alive
To take the blame and die
For a world that lives in fear
Let us give the gift of love this year

Salvation came to earth
Let us celebrate the birth
Make ourselves the offering
Meet the broken in the streets
The gift that came alive
To take the blame and die
For a world that lives in fear
Let us give the gift of love

Salvation came to earth
Let us celebrate the birth
Make ourselves the offering
Meet the broken in the streets
The gift that came alive
To take the blame and die
For a world that lives in fear
Let us give the gift of love this year

ashes remain - i won 039 t run away

I don?t wanna fall and throw it all away
I don?t wanna burn through another day
I?ve been searching for a better way
And I?ll keep fighting until it?s over

// CHORUS:
I?m not running away /
when everything is falling down around me
Take me to the place I found You /
I?m so lost without You
I?ll be here as long as it takes
I won?t run away //

I don?t wanna fade and drift away
I don?t wanna drown underneath the weight
I can feel You / everytime I break
And I?m still fighting / cause it?s not over

// CHORUS //

This world?s so lonely / You?re my only / hope to break away

// CHORUS //

ashes remain - if not for me

Push me down
Hold me back
Grate up all my mind

I cannot see these chains
'Cause I'm already blind

I could escape
But I won't turn away
This is not my fate
I choose to live this way
I could be free, if not for me

Close me in
Choke me out
Kick me while I'm down

You don't have to keep me here
'Cause I'll just hang around

I could escape
But I won't turn away
This is not my fate
I choose to live this way
I could be free, if not for me

Oh no, if not for me

Taking back all your lies
Taking back, it's no surprise
Taking back all your lies
Taking back, it's no surprise!

I could escape
But I won't turn away
This is not my fate
I choose to live this way
I could be free, if not for me

Oh no, if not for me

I could be free
But I won't turn away
This is not my fate
I choose to live this way
I could be free
If not for me

ashes remain - inside of me

Give me everything
I could never be
should be dead but I?m still breathing
Lights are fading
concentrating, on Your voice to keep from breaking
Show me everything I could never see
I wanna know what?s all around me
Now I?m finding
lights are blinding
letting go of all I?m hiding
I?m falling
I?m fading
I?m reaching
I?m finding

CHORUS:
I can?t breath without You
I?m stuck inside of me
I?m not free without You
there?s nothing left of me

Break me down then
build me up again
speak to me and make me listen
Sick of waiting
suffocating
everything I am is fading

Show me everything I could never be
I wanna know You?re all around me
Now I?m finding
life is blinding
letting go of all I?m hiding
I?m falling
I?m fading
I?m reaching
I?m finding

ashes remain - keep me breathing

Lyrics:

We all breath and we all bleed / We get lost in between
Searching for what we all need / it?s hard to see underneath the lies
Underneath the lies.

// CHORUS: My mind?s a loaded gun / no one can hear me screaming
Another night that comes undone / You?re the one that keeps me breathing
Keep me breathing / Won?t You keep me breathing //

We get up / we get knocked down / we get lost behind the crowed
Looking for a new way out / it?s hard to stand but we won?t bow tonight / we won?t bow tonight

// CHORUS //

We all breath and we all bleed
