The Ash Of Wood And Corpse Lyrics

The aftermath
Sees disasters wrath
Vibrant colors
Now veiled in black
Winds from the lake
Carry the scent of burned life
Structures once tall
Smolder in ash
Loved ones lost under piles of trash
Charred remains of mothers and sons
A city lost in early day, roaring blaze of 2 day horror
in the year of our lord, eighteen hundred and seventy one
Scorched earth,
all life is lost
Four miles strewn
in hells path
No children playing,
no busy streets
The ash of wood and corpse
play here now
Swirling in the breeze
The remains of yesterday
Charred and desolate
Unforgiving burial ground
Loved ones lost under piles of trash
Charred remains of mothers and sons
A city lost in early day, roaring blaze of 2 day horror
in the year of our lord, eighteen hundred and seventy one
Bodies found
for weeks to follow
fathers and daughters
in dying embrace
Black shoot streets
with a charcoal sky
Pain frozen on the
faces unearthed
The aftermath
Sees disasters wrath
Vibrant colors
Now veiled in black
Winds from the lake
Carry the scent of burned life
Structures once tall
Smolder in ash
