Beneath the Ashes We�ve been clever in our years But only in ways to deceive The wounds of time cannot heal We need to stop ourselves to bring peace The cries for help have been ignored before But hear me now, I need your understanding Our past cannot be rectified But our future bares a light Chorus: Cause we�ve burned ourselves on the fire�s we�ve built And killed in the name of the lord But the endless flame shines our light And clears the dust so it�s safe to breathe And beneath the ashes lies our hope To grow into one�we will be free We�ve had moments when we had regrets But we followed through anyhow This wounded heart needs no shame We need to come to life again Some say it is wrong to change �You cannot save what does not want salvation� Some say life is only for the living �You cannot fix what was never broken� (Chorus) Beneath the ashes there is a path which leads us home For once we must stand up for the truth And resurrect our true destiny Shine a light Cause beneath the ashes there is still love Shine a light for the world Beneath the ashes the world will bare light Beneath the ashes there is refuge (2000?)
